How GOPers “defend” (and why they must) Trump’s ineptitude

[Avatar4321]

When did comey paint Trumps contempt for the rule of law?

 

[Avatar4321]

You just can't kiss enough of his black ass can you? Pucker up.

Black ass....orange ass......I leave the kissing up to fanatics like your ilk.

Obama did a very decent job....Trump is a fucking demagogue who fooled the "poorly educated" as he himself stated he loved.

Yes we know Trump loves you. You seem very proud of that

(Expect this trend to be more prevalent and soon, GOPers will "credit" Trump with the sun rising in the east.)

Now that James B. Comey’s testimony to Congress has painted a picture of President Trump’s contempt for the rule of law that’s far more forceful and persuasive in its dramatic details than Republicans ever bargained for, the new and emerging GOP defense is that Trump is a political and procedural naif. He merely needs to learn the rules. This line of obfuscation requires pretending that many of the events of the past six months never happened.

But this spin from Republicans has a significance that runs deeper than merely revealing the absurd lengths to which they’ll go to protect Trump from political and legal harm. More urgently, their new line unwittingly reveals the degree to which Trump’s abuses of power and assault on our democracy have depended all along upon their tacit and willful complicity — and, perhaps worse, it leaves little doubt that this enabling will continue, with unforeseen consequences.

Paul Ryan casts Trump’s interactions with Comey as a mere matter of inexperience. “The president’s new at this,” Ryan says, adding that Trump “probably wasn’t steeped in the long-running protocols” that under our system establish law enforcement’s independence from the White House. Others ground the argument in Trump’s business past or affection for the theatrics of disruption. “He’s used to being the CEO,” insists one House Republican. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) adds that Trump is merely being “crude, rude and a bull in a china shop.”


Opinion | The latest Republican defense of Trump is built on a massive lie

"More urgently, their new line unwittingly reveals the degree to which Trump’s abuses of power and assault on our democracy have depended all along upon their tacit and willful complicity — and, perhaps worse, it leaves little doubt that this enabling will continue, with unforeseen consequences."

And that is the real problem. Republicans are the enablers for the orange-Mussolini. They've rendered the Congress inept. Though some of them show some willingness to oppose drumpf, the majority or Republicans couldn't care less what he does as long as they get to do what they want.

Now it becomes clear why the founders thought three branches of government, each of which could check any of the others if they went outside the Constitution, was what was needed. And now one only needs to ask the question "what if the courts are turned into another Republican branch of government"?

The democracy ends.

Good thing we live in a Republic and not a Democracy - you blithering idiot.

Perhaps the typical liberal finds in their nasal mucous enough nourishment for their brains so they don't forget the following:

• "Republic" is merely a term that is synonymous with "representative democracy.
• There are multiple types of democracy, a republic. of which there are also multiple types, is but one of them.
• "Democracy," "Democratic," and other etymologically related terms refer, when capitalized, to the Democratic party. It's the same with "Republic," "Republican" and so on. Uncapitalized, the terms refer to the theories/forms of governance and/or governance.
  • Definition of REPUBLICAN
    
  • Definition of DEMOCRATIC

Given that nat4900 wrote, "what if the courts are turned into another Republican branch of government," and given the capitalization convention that allows readers to distinguish between "republican" and "Republican," the only way to accurately construe his sentence is as synonymous with "what if the courts are turned into another Republican-controlled branch of government."

While the U.S. has many Republicans and Republicans have numerical majorities in the elective offices of the legislative and executive branches of the federal government, the U.S. is nonetheless not a Republic, but it is a republic. Similarly, the U.S. is not a Democracy, but it is a democracy.

So, while I cannot accurately call you a "blithering idiot" because I don't know enough about your acumen to do so credibly, in light of the above, I can quite accurately say that your response to nat4900 is blitheringly idiotic.

FWIW, it may be that you always capitalize Democracy and Republic, regardless of how you mean readers to interpret your remarks. If that's so, it means that sometimes what you write and what you mean, are not the same things.

"Only I know what words mean and what things are, all the rest of you don't know any of this and it isn't available on a million web pages that take 3 seconds to find". That is who you are. I can quite accurately say that your response is blitheringly idiotic. How do I know it's accurate? Because I said so. That way everything is a nice circular fallacy where the conclusion confirms the premise and the premise confirms the conclusion.

Post up your exclusive knowledge of shoelaces and how no one else knows about shoelaces and cannot find any information on shoelaces online. How the world is wholly ignorant of shoelaces until you show up to bridge the shoelace information gap.

Well, you see, that's the difference between assertions I make an the one you above made. I don't base my claims on the mere fact that I said so. Were you to click on the links in the post, you'd know that to be so.

Growing up in the old South, I was surrounded by people who were diehard racists, and swore that equal rights would only occur over their dead body. They maintained not only that they were right in feeling this way, but also that god was on their side. For the most part, they never changed their minds about that, and they just slowly died off, until the South finally entered the 21st century.

i think that Trump supporters are basicly the same way. Those that were just pissed at Hillary will, in the end, turn their backs on Trump. But, the real die hards are Trump supporters, not because of Trump, but because they really are racist, sexist, exophobic, anti-intellectual rednecks. We will just have to wait until they die off.

[LogikAndReazon]

Democrats need to keep up their assault on Democracy and get another 1000 Republicans elected across the country.

The 33% (and about 90% of the posters on this forum) who STILL back Trump, will never abandon this orange clown that currently sits (when not out golfing) in the oval office. They are either really, really stupid.....OR.....they cannot openly admit their mistake in backing this moron.

Why, what happened honey ???

...and here is my link about Canadians who overstay their visas. Apparently, Trump and his supporters have no problem with white, English speaking Canadians. Just brown, Spanish speaking Mexicans:
