In an interview with Newsmax today, Rep. Steve King warned that an executive action by (the President) providing (something) would perhaps irrevocably destroy our constitutional republic by turning the United States into a lawless third-world nation and (the President) into a king.
If the American people take that sitting down or lying down, then our constitutional republic has been destroyed to the point where putting it back together again in our lifetime looks to me like its a very difficult task, he warned, adding that demonstrators should surround the White House and protest outside the gates of the presidents residence until he lets go of this unconstitutional action.
The Iowa Republican added that if (the President) were to take executive action, he would force a government shutdown and move to impeach the president.
We know there is the I-word in the Constitution that none of us want to say or act on but I would have never had said there will be no boots on the ground, so in this context, everything is on the table because our republic is on the table, our constitutional republic is on the table, he said.

(5,504 posts)I even praised Steve King, but I guess it was too good to be true. I should have known a member of the God Emperor cult wouldn't say such a thing.

I'd like to shake his (and any of the old white fart brigand of over-stayers in congress) hand while I say: Show me that your not a dithering old fool and soon please!
