(5,101 posts)I made this meme because I'm tired of reading people asking if he can or not.
Tired of this buffoon shouting he can, according to...
Tired reading, yes but the Constitution says...
It is not all to come up with an article of law.
It has to be put in context, crossed with other facts, and many other thing. This is what a lawyer does.
It is a bit simplified but in substance, the meme says how it works.

(24,324 posts)We are already past that possibility. We are in to the dictator stage.
I understand the need for all the positive, hope-filled posts here at dear ole DU.
Howsomever---- I am not encouraged very much.
We ALSO need to keep our eyes and ears on the big picture -- the destruction of "democracy" both here and elsewhere in the WEST.
And I HOPE many here will proclaim this as far and wide as each is able...

(17,181 posts)I think it's all New York Society's fault. If they had shown him the love and subservience he feels he so richly deserves, maybe he would have been content to keep his disease confined to his fellow crooks.
But no, they didn't really care to socialize with an immature, boorish, uncouth lout with a mammoth ass and a possum's pecker. I can't imagine why.

(5,101 posts)Gladly, America is not a dictatorship and will never become one.
You have a strong Constitution, check and balances are still working, despite Trump evil tricks and citizens are resisting.
Keep faith .

(24,324 posts)"checks and balances" has become folderol.
Republicans do NOTHING.
Once the fascists gain full control of the courts it is over... And they are well on their way to just that.

(4,483 posts)Something that might actually break through to some Trumpista's brains is the parallel to religion:
In what religion throughout history have the sinners had the ability to give themselves divine forgiveness? It isn't just man's universal rule, it's god's/gods'/goddess'/goddesses' universal rule, too.

(5,101 posts)Good parallel.
However, I doubt his supporters will be receptive ...

I'm pleased to offer it to you.
I did it quickly, it is not very well done, but it is the content that does matter, not the container.

(9,426 posts)"gig" tRump and his grifting family have ever had. He breaks all the rules, makes tons of money, does what Putin wants done, then flies off to golf at taxpayer expense. Beats actually WORKING for a living. Worst family EVER to be in our WH. Slimy crooks, each and every one of them. The US treasury is being depleted daily, paying to keep their crooked asses safe. They really do think they are royalty, even without any CLASS.

(63,868 posts)as a Mafia family case I believe it, they are all thugs, but the Repigs need to have their assess handed to them.
They took an oath to uphold the Constitution but we can see they don't give a shit about their position, country or its' citizens.
That pressure cooker will blow........tic toc.
