America's descent into authoritarianism, and it's titular head is a mad man

Good grief this level of separation from reality should entitle you to some decent meds. Sit down take a deep breath and relax.

 

You really are incapable of making a cogent point on any issue other than hatred of Trump huh? Kind of comical.

 

It was an analogy. The main point being to show your opinion to be in error on inflation and the state of the economy. The ancillary point seems to have bothered you more.......as it should.......for reasons that are obvious.

 

The other point didn't bother me, it simply wasn't your ancillary point; it was your main point. Your lead up point didn't even address what error you think I made. I would say you could do better but...you know...

 

You've unwittingly made it worse for yourself. Which, when I think about it, is not unexpected since it's the best you can do.

If only you educated yourself.

Well, given that I don't think I made it worse for myself, simply by pointing out a hysterical auto-response that accompanies nearly ever post of yours, I think I'm fine. Thanks for checking in.

 

It sure was. What a vile creep Dirtbag Merrick turned out to be. Merrick Garland corrupted the Justice Department with political persecutions.

'Joe Biden wasn’t just a terrible president. His Attorney General Merrick Garland was an equally terrible leader of the Department of Justice. Garland, you may recall, was nominated for the Supreme Court by President Barack Obama to replace Justice Antonin Scalia, who died suddenly a few months before the 2016 election. Republicans sat on Garland’s nomination, maintaining that the seat should be filled by a new president. We were told that this was hideously unfair and partisan, especially because, as the Obama administration and its friendly media repeatedly assured us, Garland was a moderate, a nonpartisan straight shooter, a person with a first-rate judicial temperament: honest, just, fair and wise.'

'What a crock that was.'

 

that might be the best thing turtle man (no relation) Did-was keeping Meritless Garland off the USSC

 

Coming from the guy whose party put two sex predators on the USSC, and one in the presidency, I should say your opinion is worthless.

 

given how the election turned out my opinion sure counted more than that of the losers

 

Lawfare is a blog you used to quite incessantly quit being disingenuous.

 

Giving that none of those charges have any evidence beyond the say so of the accuser neither of which offered any corroborating evidence and one of which couldn't even proove she'd ever been in the same room with Trump I consider your allegation slanderous and heinous.

 

What nonsense we have all the proof that we need that they were indeed going after Trump with everything they had. And no one believes they have unique powers or capabilities just a willingness to try to do something about the current issues facing the country other than making them worse.

 

Over the last several decades, say at least the last 50 years congress has ceded quite a lot of their constitutional powers to the presidency. Both parties have done this. It as if the members of congress of the same political party as the president have become more part of the administration than members of the institution of congress. The drift toward authoritarianism has been slow, but steady. Thus, our checks and balance on the presidency have been eroded as both major parties try to give the president of their party everything, he wants to include more and more power. Even if congress is controlled by the other party, the party not of the president, the president over the last 30 years by passes congress, rules via executive order instead of legislation.


Hence we have very little check on the presidency even if congress is controlled by the other party. Congress and our two major parties have only themselves to blame for the authoritarian nature of the office of the president. After all, it’s congress that has made themselves irrelevant in most cases. A mad man attaining the throne in the office, perhaps. But it’s congress that made that chair behind the president’s desk in the oval office a throne.

 

You aren't worth suing, or you'd be sued for defamation and pure batshit.

 

This isn't just a worthless opinion, it's an outright, intentional falsehood.

 

No, Trump is the one being sued, Trump is the defamer, fraudster, liar, cand sex abuser: You can't sue me because what I wrote is accurate. But we can sue him because he lies, and lies, incessantly, as does his surrogates, also sued.

"They" were trying to hold Trump accountable for:

FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS - 34 COUNTS
Trump allegedly orchestrated hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and others during the 2016 presidential campaign to suppress damaging stories. These payments were allegedly recorded as legal expenses, constituting falsification of business records.

TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE US GOVT ON JAN 6
Conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding.
Conspiracy against rights (interfering with the right to vote and have votes counted). Trump allegedly sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election through a campaign of lies about voter fraud, pressure on state officials, and inciting the January 6 Capitol attack.

VIOLATIONS OF THE ESPIONAGE ACT (willful retention of national defense information).
Obstruction of justice, false statements. Trump retained classified documents after leaving office, including highly sensitive national security materials.
He allegedly obstructed efforts by the federal government to retrieve these documents

GEORGIA'S RICO CASE - 41 counts
Solicitation of election fraud.
Conspiracy to commit forgery and false statements.
Trump and 18 co-defendants engaged in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the election results in Georgia.
Key evidence includes Trump’s phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, urging him to "find 11,780 votes."

"...no one believes they have unique powers or capabilities just a willingness to try to do something about the current issues facing the country other than making them worse. "
He made the 2020 pandemic far worse than it had to be. The US still ranks as the 17th WORST nation, out of over 200 nations in per capita Covid deaths and cases because of Trump's systematic downplaying and ignoring the pandemic.
COVID-19 pandemic death rates by country - Wikipedia

Trump does believe he is special with unique powers. "I ALONE CAN FIX IT!" "I AM THE CHOSEN ONE!" He also suffers from paranoid delusions. He HAD to run for office to run from the law and avoid accountability. His strategy worked!

 

34 counts of calling payments to a lawyer gone on appeal, Might as well have charged him with doing push ups. Makes about as much sense.
No evidence what ever that trump was involved in anyway with the riot.
DOA thanks in no small part to the FBI's botched search and the bastardization of special prosecutor rules
Did not happen. Case DOA due to Fani's own scandals and the fact that there is no there there.
The evidence for that is nil.

 

Promoting the bogus law fair against Trump is all the lefties have

 

America's descent into authoritarianism, and it's titular head is a mad man.

LOL. No didn't read a word of the OP. The title tells me that it is nonsense.

 

History is replete with demagogues elected into power who destroyed the country, so your point is without merit, especially given his win margin is a paltry 1.5% over a black woman who was in the race for only 3 months, against his 2 years, one wonders why he didn't do better. I'd say his win is tantamount to a pyrrhic victory, if pre-inauguration period, the chaos and disaster it is, is an indicator of his presidency, and the odds are that it is, he is going to go down as the worst president, most corrupt president, in history. Like other countries who had to learn the hard way, apparently it's America's turn to learn the hard way, and you can take solace in the notion that you contributed to it.

Congratulations.

 

Your argument is hardly compelling, given the robust commentary given revealing the contrary.

 

Not a compelling counter argument.

 

False. Recently upheld by the appeals court.

Fani is appealing the court's ruling removing her, and her odds of success are good given that GA court historically doesn't remove a prosecutor for 'appearance of impropriety', only when there is a factual basis for it. The DC case is postponed, but was done so because Trump was elected president, it wasn't due to the lack of merit to the case, which was substantial.
