...Unspeakable
It would be absolutely unprecedented, Hayden said. To preserve the dignity of the office, of the men who have served in it, you do update former presidents. Number one, as a practical matter, you kind of want to keep them on your side. You want them to feel part of governance, so when they may be asked a question the best former presidents stay quiet but if they are asked a question, can be broadly supportive.
But again, thats so violating of a norm of the peaceful transfer of power in the United States. Its an almost unspeakable proposal.

(11,885 posts)Should now call for his resignation, or removal from office. Then call for all those in Congress to act or be removed from office. Putting our national Security at the risk he's willing to do is grounds for impeachment.

Carter, Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43.

(17,988 posts)He is the one Trump is threatening. It does my heart good to know that Trump is so jealous of the most loved and admired President in living memory.

Nothing Trump can say or do in his vindictive little soul can tarnish that.

(16,937 posts)could come tonight as he holds a "rally" in West Virginia. You know, COAL COUNTRY! He's bringing it all back to them (as it has been failing since he was elected, but why should that matter?).
I'm thinking he'll go TOTALLY off-rail tonight - there should be a mental health crew on stand-by to usher him into a padded trailer to take him to one of his golf courses for R&R.
GOD HELP US ALL!
