Who does Trump think he is?

Hm. Wouldn’t that depend on whether the reason for the investigation was based on something “criminal” in nature as opposed to “national security?”

It doesn't matter the reason. If it's an american, Just get the warrant. They have judges that can issue warrants, 24/7/365. It's what the constitution says. And Trump went against that. He could've vetoed the reauthorization and told them to remove 702.

Funny how Trump blasted Obama for spying on his campaign. As you mentioned before. But when it time for him to protect any other American citizens, he didn't care.
"Good for the. Not for me."
 
Maybe not. I have this stupid idea that if our government is going to spy on Americans, it should obey the US constitution and get a warrant to do so.

You’re misguided.

It very much DOES “matter the reason.”

And that’s the whole point. YOU keep making overly broad claims as to what our Constitution says and means. But you seem to ignore things that DO matter. Like whether a person is under criminal investigation OR under investigation for national security concerns.

If suspect Mohammed is being investigated as a likely terrorist intent on performing some atrocity, he is not under “criminal” investigation. And he has no sane legally cognizable privacy interest in that bomb he’s building in his basement.

By contrast, big drug dealer higher up is believed to be about to offload a few tons of cocaine; that’s a criminal investigation. The drug dealer does have a reasonable expectation of privacy in his own home; so the cops and prosecutors damn well do need a warrant.

Later, I think it would be good to consider exceptions to the warrant requirement, even where it would otherwise be required.
 
First off, I'm not opposed to several things Trump says he's wanting to do. DOGE has some very good points. And they seem to be finding a lot of wasteful spending that needs to be cut. I 100% support that. And getting rid of DEI in our government.

But all this talk about taking over countries and the Panama Canal....... 3 countries in less than a month taking office, that sounds like something that German guy did that started WW2.

His supporters say it's all just a ploy. Some genius plot that he's using to negotiate with. I hope they're right. I would welcome Canada, Mexico and Greenland being part of the USA, if THEY chose to do so. But ONLY if they chose to. Not because we forced them to.


Panama is now giving our naval ships FREE passage through the canal. I'd call that a win. They knew if they kept ripping us off they lose control of the canal.

In ordinary legal investigations, that’s true. In other situations, however, it’s not true.

May be. Or, alternatively, the law simply isn’t “settled.”

You have a secured right to your gun.
Why wood a new mechanical device in a stock hold that same status? :dunno:

It was a dumb thing to say. Many of us disagreed with that statement. I doubt he’d say the same nowadays.


No no, gasbag. I’m denying your false dichotomy. I support Trump AND our Constitution.

I’m not a RINO, you dipshit.

You fail to understand these matters. He had assistants within and outside of the DoJ assist in how to proceed. And how he runs the executive branch is his business.


I don’t believe you’ve made that case. It’s, at best, a tangent to the 2A.

You’re kind of tragically stupid. If some other nation tries to pull off a precision air strike on a non-military target, it might be mere criminal behavior instead of an act of war. And yes. Of course we’d object and might even consider it a literal act of war. So? Ok. We might “do something” to retaliate. Of course, WE can.


Never started. Your infantile ad hominems leave no marks.

You’re sounding like the last vestiges of “stupid “in the old GOP. In any event, it is actually smarter to observe your factual and logical errors, as I do. And, when I do so, for your benefit, you’re free to do with the information as you see fit.

Nonsense. Be specific. Ignore the talking points. Which specific part of the NDAA supposedly authorized the President to engage in a preemptive strike?

As I noted above. That’s a “them” problem.

No no. One of our enemies was operating there. A military leader of that enemy got confirmed to be there. And we took him out. I applaud that Presidential decision.

No. Your weren’t. But you could try. Offer the purported quote. Properly link it. Then, perhaps, we can talk.


Yes you are a RINO. Or a cuck. I can tell by the way your defending Trumps many assaults' on our constitution. Making excuses. Trying to spin things like warrantless spying on Americans.

Nope

Nope.

You mean, the “none” of them. At least not so far as you’ve ever established or our claim.

Evading reality. Trite ignorant twit that you are.

Newsflash: that there are obvious exceptions to the warrant requirement isn’t even a new notion.
 
I want a president. Not a chancellor.

What you want is a dictator.
Someone who will force your view of things on everyone.

You want a Thomas Massie or a Chip Roy to dictate your ideas.

The country is simply not behind you.
 
Nope

He is perfectly well allowed to raise the issues of considering taking Canada into our national fold, buying Greenland and reclaiming the canal our nation built in Panama.

I agree that he can’t force anyone to accept any or all of those hypotheticals.

But it’s perfectly ok to put them on the table for consideration.

Greenland isn’t getting invaded. Neither is Canada. And even Panama has a right to oppose relinquishing the canal America built.
Panama has also Welshed on a lot of the conditions that they agreed to for the handover...Allowing China to have defacto control over it certainly goes against the Monroe doctrine, which has been in effect for two centuries.

Buying off Denmark and turning Greenland into a sort of Guam of the Atlantic is a military strategic move...The kerfuffle over Canada is just Trump's customary trolling.

Trump has inflation to fix.
Taxes to cut.
Budgets to balance
Wars to end.

Everything else is just a distraction.
Get to f'ing work already to help America.
 
Panama is now giving our naval ships FREE passage through the canal. I'd call that a win. They knew if they kept ripping us off they lose control of the canal.

.
Here's a hint. Few of our navy ships fit in the Panama Canal.

Large U.S. Navy vessels, like aircraft carriers, can't cross the canal because they are too wide to fit. Canal officials said Navy crossings are uncommon with an average of 40 vessels going through the waterway each year or less than 0.5% of the total number of ships transiting.

Actually the "free passage" claim is pure B.S. Trump propaganda.


Panama President José Raúl Mulino has rejected the U.S. State Department’s claim that his country had reached a deal allowing U.S. warships to transit the Panama Canal for free

“I completely reject that statement yesterday,” Mulino said during his weekly press conference

The Panama Canal Authority put out its own terse statement later Wednesday night saying it had "not made any adjustments” to the fees.

Canal administrators said they were open to discussing giving U.S. warships priority in crossing the canal, but did not say they had considered waiving fees.

I don't think they'll want to maintain that posture, it could cost them in the long run.

As I said, your claim of free passage is currently just pure B.S.

Something to make fools like you, think Trump accomplished anything with his threats.

Maybe if we send in the troops, we'll get free passage, but for now, it's just another lie.

He hasn't taken over one country. But, he has got concessions from several of them, if not all.

Free passage doesn't mean want you want it to mean.
 
Are you saying that other countries have no national sovereignty, the only country that does is the US?

Are you saying that people of all the other countries in the world are under our authority?

If not, then please re-phrase what you said. Thanks.
Trump wants ALL countries to put their people first
