President Trump: Making America Great Again...

[BigFatMeanie]

I see what you are saying, but the Constitution is preventing Trump from doing the crazy stuff you list, not his obvious incompetence. He's not a king, despite what the FOX bunch thinks.

Do you have any evidence that the “fox bunch” thinks he’s a king? Trump’s idiocy merits so many legitimate attacks that you shouldn’t need to make up crap stuff like this.

Was that over the line? I'm sorry.

[Uncle Ted]

But seriously- this asshole wants a critic of his charged with murder? Fuck that guy. Karma can’t strike swift enough.

Don't worry... as soon as Drumpf stops taking his HCQ karma will strike! Jim Carrey has been using his voodoo black magic on him:

I do appreciate your patrician concern for my ignorance. Without you and Ted here, I’d never know that my opinions on political scandals are hopelessly naive.

You're welcome!

Lolz. The Constitution prevented Bush from fabricating evidence to lead the nation to war in Iraq on false pretenses. The Constitution also prevented Bush from using the NSA (an intelligence service not a law enforcement agency) to spy on its own citizens. The Constitution prevented the Bush administration from deciding that the War on Terror™ exempted it from criminal law (and international conventions) preventing torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners. The Constitution prevented the Bush administration from concocting the fictitious category of "enemy combatants" to deprive detainees of the legal protections of either the U.S. courts or "prisoner-of-war" status. The Constitution also prevented the Bush administration from then detaining these "enemy combatants", some of them American citizens, indefinitely without trial, access to counsel, or the right to have courts to review their cases.

The Bush administration described the president’s war making power under the Constitution as "plenary" - meaning absolute.

But we are plumbing the bottom with President Trump.

Agreed, the lawyers behind Bush's administration were indispensable (depending on your POV). Thankfully, Trump is far too incompetent to realize this.

Does Alan Dershowitz count as part of the Fox bunch? He is on there a lot.

I believe there was only one commentator from the news side of Fox who even tried to challenge this absurd comment from Dershowitz. The silence from all the rest would seem to indicate they didn't have a problem with. It.

lol what?

[BigFatMeanie]

lol what?

Has anyone on Fox said, "I think Trump is a king" or something akin to it? Has anyone referred to him as a monarch or using the language of monarchy or royalty? Please produce the copious evidence that the fox bunch think he's a king.

Dershowitz's statement is the closest to it but Dershowitz explicitly says Trump's not the king but that Trump is more powerful than a king.

I thought it was immediately obvious that he was using hyperbole. Similar to if I was to say that Sean Hannity and the entire gang at Fox and Friends love to fellate the president. NO THEY DON'T PROVE IT THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!!

I mean Stephen Miller did say in a national address that the powers of President Trump were substantial and would not be questioned!

lol. Anybody else would just get banned, but since Twitter is Emperor Dipshit's Official Mouthpiece we will all merely have to settle for the asterisk. :|

He's going to keep Twitter very busy running down all of his crap.

Those asterisks are going to eat at him, like water torture.

As the article suggests, the move by Twitter was at least partly in response to the poignant letter (everyone should read it) written by the widower of the woman Trump and his knuckleheaded son are suggesting was murdered by Joe Scarborough, perhaps the most scurrilous example of the Trump/Cohen method of attacking anyone who opposes Trump, and that includes the Obama birther allegation, Ted Cruz's dad being in on the JFK assassination, etc.
