Is President Above The Law? Cruz: "I dunno..."

[TrollBuster9090]

It's official. The GOP has absolutely no ideology, principles, or integrity whatsoever. Just a whole shitload of hypocrisy.

Five minutes ago these asswipes were calling Obama a TYRANT for issuing 'too many' executive orders. And their favorite phrase was "we are a nation of LAWS not a nation of men." and "No man is above the law."


But now that the President is a Republican, who claims that he IS above the law, they're all for it.

It's oficial. Their hatred an obstruction for Obama had nothing whatsoever to do with ideology or principle. It was because he was a black guy with a "D" after his name. Now that the President is a white guy with an "R" after his name, he can't be subpoenad, he can't be indicted, he can break any laws and PARDON HIMSELF. Rudy says he can even ASSASSINATE the head of the FBI, and then pardon himself. Even PUTIN doesn't go THAT far.

Watch MISTER CONSTITUTION himself, Ted Cruz get asked if Trump can Pardon himself, and the slimey little shit answers "I dunno.." I didn't think it was possible for an invertebrate to walk around, but apparently he just kept on walking.

I think this slithering jellyfish just handed Beto O'Rourke his biggest talking point. I hope O'Rourke beats him like a gong with it.

6. It's a Classic Trial Lawyer Tactic to Throw Everything Against the Wall and See What Sticks

Republicans are doing the same with this self-pardon nonsense. We shouldn't fall for it.

8. One pundit described this spin on the Constitution as a 'suicide pact.'

You can't 'faithfully execute,' 'preserve, protect and defend' the Constitution and the rule of law by assuming they don't apply to the president.

In fact, the president ought to be the highest exemplar of abiding by each and every law!

'High crimes and misdemeanors' gives us broad powers to remove the president through our representatives for violating our faith in the president to do his job!

9. The "US" is gone...

all we got left is a Congress and installed resident owned by the banks, telecoms, fossil fuel, mic and all the other socialized-profit entities that run the country.

10. OK Teddy - answer me this

Can Mike Pence shoot Donald Trump, become president, and then pardon himself for the murder charge?

11. Well, in both Confucianism and Legalism, the ruler is above the law...

... but we ain't in China, Mr Cruz, and both of those legal theories are obsolete in China now anyway.
