POTUS has "Total" Power

[Botanical11B]

Also, FYP

Oh look....it's still ignoring reality, cute

The only thing I ever talked about was the huge, "We told you so."

From that they got to, "You support the dictator Trump!"

They have to, otherwise they would have to re-think the authoritarianism they are so fond of and regularly promote.

They would have to admit maybe there is something to the "toxic shitsludge Glibertoonian ideology" they hate so much.

And, he hasn't even acted; it's more like
he was just triggering them again
to get them focused on the
issue of the economy...

All he had to do was point at the federal supremacy clause in the Constitution, which they regularly champion over dumbshit selfish "got mine fuck you!" states rights idiots who haven't figured out it's no longer 1840, and they all suddenly went all Cliven Bundy in the name of states rights

And it's taco Tuesday.....Korean style.

AND we've got a 40+ man flight tonight, escorting a bunch of hornets in to bomb N. Korea again.

Yuppers it's a damn fine Tuesday.

I stand with the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, neither of which bestows on Trump the power or authority he seems to think he has. The rights of states and their citizens flow from there.

This is some funny shit.

Seemed more like a flat out lie to me.

As I have been saying for years - You Trumpers are all afraid and need a big daddy to make you feel safe so of course this is the lens through which you see current events. And it explains why you felt compelled to elect this idiot and bully of a POTUS while you all are feeling so impotent.

Normal people are aware of what a pandemic is, understand what it means to a population and have been deciding for our and our family's and friends safety to choose to shelter in place, follow the CDC guidelines and will continue to do so until such time as it is appropriate not to. Supporting a governor with common sense behaviors for general health and welfare is not a suspension of constitutional authority nor evidence of a population being cowed. If YOU feel cowed, don't externalize it on the rational ones in the herd.

As far as your extra-constitutional powers diatribe it has been the Congress ceding its constitutional power for the last sixty years under the influence of corporate greed and as IKE said in 1961 the "military industrial complex" that has gotten us here and not "the left". To offer that up as an argument shows your lack of knowledge of history and lack of appreciation of the meaning of events you lived through yourself.

The right always does this horse shit. They create a make believe 'crisis' and then you so-called conservatives give away your rights and blame someone else. The Patriot Act is a perfect fucking example. What is it going to be this time?

English is your second language, right?

Yes.
While all of the focus is on Trump and SARS-CoV-2...

Lil' Kim is pushing the world's buttons.

He meant to say those parts of the Bill of Rights he likes.

Trying to become relevant again.

You mean.....there are actually parts he likes??????

Who knew?????

 

[Rightguide]

He likes this part:

Congress shall make no law respecting my establishment of religion, or prohibiting my free exercise thereof; or abridging my freedom of speech...etc.

 

[Wrong Element]

I love seeing mob rule unitary state hyper-authoritarian progs who have been sneering at and shitting on states rights pretty much their entire lives, most recently advocating getting rid of the EC and some even want the Senate gone gone gone, are suddenly screeching for states rights??

What's wrong???

You've been upset he hasn't taken ENOUGH authority over your HC for years now. Ya'lls whole shtick for the last 20+ years has been having the federal government running all HC for everyone.

Now he does it and you're upset? WHY??

Welcome to supporting the EC, Senate, Alabamas right to run Alabama in ways that drive you fucking NUTS.... DJT has turned you into a deplorable by giving you what you wanted. Absolutely beautiful Job on his part.

Unfortunately for actual liberals, the Constitution agrees with D. J. Trump.

Article VI, paragraph 2.


https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articlevi

Which makes sense, otherwise what is the point? A toothless federal government can't maintain a union. It has to be supreme.

But this is also why the federal government should be chained to a fucking wall and with very short chains.

It shouldn't be doing healthcare, education, gun control, wealth redistribution etc.

I hope DJT has taught you something about the value of states rights and you think about the other edge of the sword the next time you're cheering the federal government to take over entire aspects of society or segments of the economy.

This level of self-contradiction in this post is ... something,

 

[Klinkster]

He likes this part:

Congress shall make no law respecting my establishment of religion, or prohibiting my free exercise thereof; or abridging my freedom of speech...etc.

He likes it, Only after he twists the meaning to suit his ideology.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

LOL!

After telling Governors they were on their own and the Federal Gov't is just a "back-up," the Governors went ahead and formed their own COVID CORRIDOR COUNCIL to get together a plan for reopening their states. They're on their own, after all--can't look to D.C. for help or leadership.

But the Big Fat Baby is now going all totalitarian on their asses. Hoh No! I alone can fix it! I am the Chosen One! I have TOTAL AUTHORITY. You can't do that without ME.

It's no wonder the Deplorables on this thread are doing doublespeak doubletime trying to keep up with Dear Leader. They follow him around like stupid sheep.

 

[Klinkster]

There is what he said.

And there is what he has done.

Don’t understand the difference?

No, they don't...

 

[icanhelp1]

OH...suddenly we're constitutionalist too!! LMFAO!!!

Adre is a full blown deplorable Glibertoonian!! Who knew?

I'm glad you support my right to own belt fed machine guns, fully armed tanks and jet fighters.


Here is some more of the Constitution you might want to read.

Article VI, paragraph 2.






Totally burnt ass.

That is pretty funny, Adre a constitutionalist. I can't even wrap my head around that.

Like I said earlier, Nancy's probably suffering from an aneurysm.

He claims to be a capitalist and in favor of the evil racist nazi practice of securing borders and controlling who/what comes in the USA.

In just the last few days he's gone from progressive to deplorable.

The irony about Trump is that he isn't using the authority of the federal government to do things it can actually do, and should actually do, because he's incompetent and overwhelmed in the face of this crisis. Instead he just wants to look like he's in charge and to issue meaningless orders to "reopen the country," a term that's literally ridiculous. How does that even work? He's going to force people to eat in restaurants? He's going to tell a mom-and-pop it must open its doors again?


His strategy here is extremely transparent:

1. Don't do anything
2. If things go well, take all the credit anyway
3> If things don't go well, blame the governors and the Chinese

 

[icanhelp1]

No, they don't...

I don't know man, you sure triggered the whole fucking lot of them. Too funny! This is the most entertaining day i've had on lit. Loones morphing into individual libertarian state rights activist.

He did one thing. He ordered a travel ban from China. A mere 40,000 travelers slipped through the net.

Maybe so but being a Sanders cult follower or a warren style capitalist doesn't make you a constitutionalist by any stretch.
