In the spirit of Richard Nixon and his belief that if a president does it, it can't be illegal; once again, another president makes the argument that a president is a king, accountable to no one. Except maybe an election every 4 years -- but even that is shaky because that president can simply skip the elections if he or she feels it's in the public interest...according to one impeachment defense, if Putin decides he wants Alaska back and the president thinks it in the public interest, he can just do it.....Why do conservatives/republicans keep making these bullshit arguments??
"I think I’m the greatest president that ever was, and if I’m not elected, the national interest will suffer greatly.’ That cannot be an impeachable offense,” Trump’s defense argued. 'Every public official I know believes that his election is in the public interest. And mostly you’re right,” he said. “Your election is in the public interest. And if a president does something which he believes will help him get elected in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”
I really hope these sycophantic Trumpers keep this same energy the minute someone that isn't their cult leader feels they can do the same thing....Something tells me they won't -- and the excuse of "It's ok to do it if it triggers the conservatives" wouldn't be a sufficient enough defense...because every Trumper defends every Trump fuck up by saying "Tee-hee, it's OK if it triggers the libs..tee-ee" -- oh really?? Cool...
When some GOP senators were asked to comment on this new Trump defense that would only make Dick Cheney and Richard Nixon blush -- they all tried to dodge the point. Senator Tim Scott said that Dershowitz was just being philosophical -- saying “He said ‘a president,’ not President Trump. I think he was talking about a philosophical perspective.” Tim Scott should be embarrassed.....
So with all of the Trumper freakout over Russian collusion and all of their denials -- their cult leader is basically saying that not only will he collude with Russia, Iran or any other foreign country that he thinks will help him win, but since he believes its in the best interest of the country -- there is nothing anyone can do about it -- are you really willing to give that power to future presidents or in your narcissistic delusions, do you think Trump will be president forever -- because why not? -- and no, there is no both sides do it -- so before you pull Obama, Hillary or anyone else out your ass, don't....this is your cult leader making this dumb ass argument, no one else...
I hope there aren't any NFL fans out there -- I hope you don't mind if the 49'ers decide to cheat because they feel its in the public interest that they win the Super Bowl -- so if they gotta cheat to do it, so be it...I believe you morons would demand more accountability from a fucking sports team cheating to win than you would the president of the US....
