Still the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces last I checked.
Conversations like these, for the last year, make me feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Trump gets into a feud with the parents of a dead veteran, suddenly the lefties are all huge supporters of the military and defending the vets and their service against mean old mister Trump, to the point that, get this, they're mad at him for opting out of the Vietnam war! Because we all know how legitimate a war that was, particularly from a lefty perspective, and how angry the liberals always are about pot smoking hippy draft dodgers.
Then, Trump gets accused of colluding with the Russians to "game the election" (if you could use that terminology to describe saying things on the internet to try and convince people. I'm still not sold on that idea, personally), and all of a sudden the same people who cheered on Michelle Obama when it was the first time she ever felt proud to be an American, the same people who describe the American flag as a symbol of white supremacy, are suddenly self-avowed fucking patriots!
After about 6 years (voted for Obama in '08 and didn't actually start paying enough attention to regret that until a couple years in) of having it thrown in my face all over TV, news publications, and online political message boards that I was just a racist who automatically disliked anything Obama liked and automatically liked anything he disliked, watching those same accusers take such ridiculously reactionary positions every time Trump speaks tickles me pink, like white girl clitoris. (Thank you Pusha T for your wise simile)have you seen Penelope's sig.....it's hilarious.....No they were crying that blacks couldn't be obnoxious asshole
I didn't see any crying and by the way I did get a ticket long long long ago.
it describes the Clintons, but she replaces it with trump......
I'm about ready to change it to autocrat.
Autocrat would be perfect. All these executive overreaches in the last year. All those times that Trump abused executive power by, um. . . when he, like. . . uhh. . . limited immigration? Wait, no, that's actually his constitutionally appointed duty. Oh! When he tried to take over the judiciary by appointing judges to be confirmed by the senate! Wait, that's his constitutional duty, as well? Well what about his tax cuts!? Oh, the house and senate passed those properly? Well, fuck his tweets! He says mean things on the internet, and that makes him bad. Trump's bad, and he's rich, and autocrats are bad, and they're usually rich, so BAM! Trump's a fuckin autocrat!
Don't you miss when words like autocrat and authoritarian had specific meanings, before the democrats decided they were just metaphors for bad, designed to be thrown at anyone who dares challenge the narrative? ALL GLORY TO THE NARRATIVE
He just appointed two prosecutors in NY, one for his district and one for Kushner's district after interviewing them. He wants Session to be Roy Cohn, his nasty scum lawyer back in the day who was his mentor.
He is an autocrat.
Appointing states attorneys is his job, and, get this, THE SENATE HAS TO CONFIRM THEM! That means that a body of 100 other politicians has to vote on whether or not his appointment actually stands. An autocrat is someone who governs by THEMSELVES. If his action is not only a constitutionally enshrined function of his position, but it requires the agreement of another government body, ITS NOT AUTOCRACY. Holy shit, it boggles my mind that I even have to explain this. Please, try to contain your arguments within the scope of shit you know even a little bit about. I know there's a good chance that this course of action will mean that we'll rarely, if ever, hear from you, but you'll be a better person for it.
