Imagine if Obama had said this! Holy shit!
Exactly! Fuck, we should have ammo against the right wing forever because of Trump.
I thought these fuckers loved the Constitution. But what do you expect from a bunch of money worshipping, ignorant hypocrites.

I hope this job fucking kills him. I want him to suffer the biggest heart attacks. Truly the best. Tremendous heart attacks.
Also I wonder how Ted Cruz, the guy that had the entire Constitution memorized from heart by age 15, feels about having to be the lapdog of this guy.
Isn't the Republican Party the self-claimed "party of the constitution"?
Isn't the Republican Party the self-claimed "party of the constitution"?
We are the party of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
It's still hard to fathom that this country elected amanfunctional illiterate without a basic understanding of how the government works as president.
He'll break that up too after he whites out the parts of the constitution he doesn't like.
Calling it "his" party is a bit of a stretch. Republicans and Trump/Supporters might as well be two different parties with how much the Republicans oppose what Trump keeps trying to doDoesn't his party worship the constitution?
And that won't happen either. We have checks and balances.
You look at the rules of the Senate, even the rules of the House but the rules of the Senate and some of the things you have to go through it's really a bad thing for the country, in my opinion. They're archaic rules. And maybe at some point we're going to have to take those rules on, because, for the good of the nation, things are going to have to be different.
That's pretty harsh. Plus regardless of how much you dislike him, I'm pretty sure you'd dislike his replacement even more.
Imagine if Obama had said this! Holy shit!
Just what is this guy going to try to pull if he loses re-election in 2020?
Will he attempt a coup?
I'm just curious what arcane rules specifically he thinks are bad, or is it the whole part where a President can't just do whatever the hell he/she wants? I'd be willing to bet it's the latter.
First erode trust in the media. Then erode trust in the government. He may not be a fascist, but that's just because he's only been in office for 100 days...
All I have to say is, it is an amazing thing that the drafters of the constitution really hated monarchy. They dispersed power and put in multiple means of stopping any single person running or ruining the country. It's actually amazing foresight. But if you think of the goal "no monarchs" they did everything they could to prevent one.
Legislative and executive power dispersed amongst the presidency, House, Senate. Judiciary separate. Then states have power as well (if 2/3 states call for constitutional convention, it can be amended). They basically divided power as much as possible.
That's why lawmaking is so frustrating, but no matter how much damage Trump does, he will not take down the republic. Pretty amazing foresight from people who had never seen a functioning democracy.
Given how the Republicans treat each other during the Healthcare battles, trying to do something like that might be impossible for them if they cannot agree on something they promoted for years.
It's still hard to fathom that this country elected a man without a basic understanding of how the government works as president.
His replacement would be a bog-standard republican who at least seems to respect the constitution, would likely have Bannon removed and can form a coherent sentence. That's 100% a massive upgrade.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if he tries to rewrite the whole Constitution.

I'm gonna be totally honest here and say that if the republicans have to hold all three branches of government, I'd prefer their leader be a complete fuckup who can't get anything done properly. Imagine the damage the republicans could do right now if they had somebody competent in charge.
Trump's competency isn't even really the biggest issue as to why the GOP can't get anything done. The party, despite its cult like feel now, has real splits that is preventing anything from getting off the ground
True, the freedom caucus/tea party is often at opposition with the more moderate members of the party, but I still feel as though a competent leader would be able to pull them together to get basic tasks done. Trump not even having an idea of how government works means that he has no chance of being that competent leader and instead, you have a republican party warring with itself and nobody to guide them.
The fact that Trump won their party primaries should answer that.
Do the Republicans even have a competent leader?
That's exactly what a tyrannical fascist would say
It's almost ironic that now I know exactly what my Dad felt for the last 8 years with "King Obama"
Not at all difficult to imagine. He's a rich white man that talked shit about black people, brown people, women, and Muslims. America is racist as hell and that's why he won the election.
I was waiting for him to say this. Racism has such a foothold that even this doesn't take him down. What a shitshow.
