trump sounds like an insane dictator....



You don’t hand matches to an arsonist, and you don’t give power to an angry left-wing mob. Democrats have become too EXTREME and TOO DANGEROUS to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law - not the rule of the mob. VOTE REPUBLICAN!

He doesn't ever say anything informative. And reacting to him is an exhausting exercise in futility: it will never have any effect.

He does this to waste our time and energy. The Republicans gush happily when he does this because it provides cover for whatever they're doing behind the scenes.

It's mere stagecraft. It's deliberate misdirection. It's sleight-of-hand. Don't buy into it.

You have to be shitting me! Don-the-Con is out of his cotton picking mind!

Donnie, if Republicans believed in the rule of law you'd already be impeached and awaiting a prison sentence after the Mueller investigation is over. That's the most absurd statement I've ever heard; "Republicans believe in the rule of law".

The Party of Trump is an organized crime family. They should be treated as such using RICO statutes and should all be put in prison.

And his followers eat that shit up like it is their last meal.

21. Let's take another look at the First Amendment:
Sun Oct 7, 2018, 02:54 AM
Oct 2018
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Seems like we're guaranteed the right to disagree with those in power, or to assemble peacefully (that doesn't mean it has to be quietly) to tell our representatives when they are acting like shits.

'Rome IS the mob.'

His orange ass is gonna learn that in very short order.

Every 2 years we are leaglly and peacably allowed to fuck-all overthrow our own damned government. Too bad for him he thinks he IS the state.

Oh and that bullshit about too dangerous, and the suggestion that LEGAL ELECTIONS somehow constitute something extra legal or outside the bounds of regular process? The above poster is correct and that's pure unadulterated PROJECTION...that's how McConnell got that rapist on the Supreme Court today.

And in less than a month the reckoning for that brazen disregard for not only regular order, but the respecting of your fellow citizens as proxy to that order, will begin.

No, we may not get the votes in the Senate to actually convict. But the investigations from the Blue House will make certian that this treasonous criminal fuck of a conman WILL die in prison, and probably take a good chunk of the current Republican party with him.

And he knows it, and he's scared of it.
And he fucking SHOULD BE.

Who enforces that? What is the penalty? Maybe impeachment isn't even needed if folks are arrested for that.

41. Who enforces penalties for lying to congress, or to the courts?
Sun Oct 7, 2018, 11:25 AM
Oct 2018

At the Federal level, the executive branch via the USMarshalls Service.
But again, only if the Executive orders them to, as there's no other mechanism of enforcement (it's why President Jackson ignored the Courts Order...because he knew damn well he wasn't about to arrest himself); it's why Karl Rove pretty much just ignored a congressional subpona, cause Jr told him 'like I'm gonna enforce that...no worries, dude'

The individual State Constitutions fixed this rather obvious oversight, and it's why your local Sherriffs Officers are actually deputized members of the state district court; so those courts actually DO have their own internal means of enforcement.

But not so much at the Federal level. It's up to the Executive, or it don't get done.

wind in the desert, that blows against your back w/ a fair breeze in your hair. rump is a sad, pathetic, nothing burger, in the whole buffet of life that's awaiting all of us should Nov. 2018 be as successful as they are claiming it will be. Come November 2018, good times will start again, and the light at the end of the tunnel will show itself to all of us. Finally some rationality and logic will start to prevail again and the guttersnipes of the world will have one less blowhard, or at least, be muted somewhat.

35. "rule of the mob"....how ironic
Sun Oct 7, 2018, 07:18 AM
Oct 2018

I don't think the "left wing mob" wants to take over the government; speaking for myself, I mostly just want the Russian Mob gone from our government, and I'd like to see maybe some actual democracy in action--we need to fix our campaign financing regulations, go in the direction of encouraging people to vote rather than suppressing minority voters, and take steps to maintain the integrity of the electoral process.

I don't expect fuckface himself wrote this one (it's too coherent, and conveys an actual logical thought), but I sincerely hope the "rule of law" is what brings down these bastards in the end.
