‘What Do You Do When a Criminally Minded Person Is President?’

Our HATRED of Democrats is a matter of record.

That’s your problem

We are looking at the possibility of electing a criminal to be our president. So what do we do if or when that happens? We have been here before. And it has been the people who stopped the criminal.

‘What Do You Do When a Criminally Minded Person Is President?’

Corey Brettschneider’s new book couldn’t have landed at a more auspicious moment. The Presidents and the People: Five Leaders Who Threatened Democracy and the Citizens Who Fought to Defend It, went on sale last Tuesday — the day after the Supreme Court’s ruling in the election interference case against Donald Trump that gave presidents broad immunity for their “official acts.”

Brettschneider, a professor of politics and constitutional law at Brown University, writes about five past presidents who “posed great threats to democracy” by pushing the limits of legality — John Adams, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Woodrow Wilson and Richard Nixon — and the citizens who responded by pushing back in an age-old American pattern of constitutional crisis and recovery.

Adams, after all, had prosecuted people who criticized him, Buchanan “colluded with the Supreme Court to deny constitutional personhood to African Americans,” as Brettschneider outlines. Johnson urged violence against his political opponents while heightening white supremacy in the wake of the Civil War, Wilson “nationalized Jim Crow” and Nixon, of course, committed criminal acts in the sprawling Watergate scandal. “When the president does it,” as the 37th president (in)famously said, “that means it is not illegal.”

In response to these executives’ attempts to weaken or outright eliminate the checks on their power, citizens fought back — from abolitionist Frederick Douglass to journalists Ida B. Wells and William Monroe Trotter to Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg and others — recommitting to the Constitution and stoking what Brettschneider calls “democratic recovery.”

Brettschneider reminds us that we were warned from the beginning this could happen.

“Revolutionary War heroes such as Patrick Henry predicted that the office was so powerful that a president with authoritarian ambitions could simply lay claim to the ‘American throne,’” Brettschneider writes, noting that “the power of the presidency has always been a loaded gun, one that threatens American democracy itself. Patrick Henry’s warning has always been relevant.” And it has arguably never been more relevant than it is right now.

Didn’t DC vote back in the mayor Marion Berry, who was arrested for using dope? Is there suddenly something different?

You fascism is indeed a matter of record. But you really don't want to live in a dictatorship.

34 - 0

No problem, those 34 felony counts will be overturned.

The USSC's immunity ruling just shoved the democrat's "Lawfare" up their collective asses.

Phhfffrrrrt

Exactly anoth flaming attempt at flame baiting. That's where this belongs...

If they are it proves trump is above the law

More projection from...

You do anything you can to beat Joe Biden and all the Democrats that have gone along with breaking immigration laws and the Constitution.

Except Biden isn't breaking immigration laws... the problem is the laws are broken.

As someone who is currently dealing with sponsoring a relative for residency, the system is broken beyond repair.

You beat Joe Biden for committing treason for funneling money to Iran who gives money to our enemies and Israel's enemies and then they use Joe's money to fight and kill American soldiers and Israeli soldiers.

except that money belongs to Iran, and they agreed to return our assets as well. Or do you think piracy should be a national policy?

Also, fuck Israel.

Also, the bribery of Joe Biden with Ukraine and also China.

And you can show me the supposed policies that Ukraine and China got for those bribes, along with the money in Joe's bank accounts, right?

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Are you thinking Biden's criminal influence pedaling, criminal pedophilia or criminal treason, here?

 

[deannalw]

They’re Not Sees.

Trump once said a president under felony indictment would grind the government to a halt and create a constitutional crisis​

Spelling Nazi that way does not make you look clever.

It makes you look like the stupidass you are.

People on the right aren't Nazi's, fascists, racists or any of the other maniacal shit the leftists throw out there.

You just use that stuff to try and silence people.

We're tired of that crap.

Barry was not running for president. He didn't try covering up his dope use to get elected. The government spent millions, planted a woman and drugs in a hotel to get Barry. The government didn't send Stormy Daniels to a hotel to have sex with trump and then have her try asking trump for a hush money payment.

Stop trying false equivalences chump.

The problem now is that Trump's corrupt lackeys on SCOTUS gave him a free pass to do anything he wants to. So, how do you stop a known criminal like Trump who has immunity from turning this Country into a living nightmare?

One can only hope that the majority of voter's aren't stoooopid enough to put that scumbag rapist mf'er back in the W.H

Not above the law, just above the democrat's "Lawfare"

Lawfare is not "the Law", its the political misuse of the Law.

The USSC's immunity ruling just shoved the democrat's "Lawfare" up their collective asses.

All charges imposed by New York Soviet Style court Judges bought and paid for by George Soros & Son connected with the Democrats will be removed.

 

[BluesLegend]

That’s your problem

We will destroy your scum party once and for all.

They won't get overturned. There was no lawfare and Trump paying Stormy Daniels had nothing to do with duties of his office.

Letitia James and Fani Willis ran on "Getting Trump"

 

[BluesLegend]

You fascism is indeed a matter of record. But you really don't want to live in a dictatorship.

Dem policies have gotten Americans RAPED and MURDERED. Hence we are going to destroy you.

I have no party

No they won't.
