True.  In another thread, I noted that the Justice Department, in both 1973 and 1990 (Republican administration & Democrat administration, respectively) issued a memorandum in which it concluded that a sitting president can't be indicted for crimes.  This is because of the disruption and chaos that an indictment could cause.

100 percent correct!!!! However, the aim of democrats is to cause as much chaos as possible to this legally elected president.

Just like the Republicans did under Obama for six years. Filibuster after Filibuster after Filibuster after Filibuster after Filibuster in record numbers. Unprecedented in American history.

To the left Obama signing unconstitutional executive orders is legal and lawful and Trump simply stating what he has the authority to do as president makes him a dictator.

He wants to be, bashing our intelligence community, bashing the Justice Department, bashing the Judicial System, bashing the FBI. Trump has shown no respect or regard to the rule of law. He sees himself as THE law. He liked the idea of being President for life.

 

Problem is we've got a cowardly GOP in Congress who are doing nothing to put a check on the President in times like this. They are letting him do whatever he wants, they're complicit in his dictatorial and authoritarian behavior.

You keep saying that but have yet to give any examples of him violating the law.

If the poster gave you examples would it matter or change your mind?

He is certainly pushing the boundary, testing to see what he can get away with, as of right now he is getting away with pushing the boundary because his own party are cowards in stopping him doing it. It used to be unthinkable of any  President attacking the Rule of Law. Not anymore with the Fat Orange Nixon.

The same applied during the reign of our last president who acted as a King........Obama...signing unconstitutional orders, secretly sending pallets of cash to Iran in exchange for hostages, etc........

 

Were you complaining then?

Oh, so he isn't breaking any laws....just "pushing the boundary"...........He has not attacked the rule of law.  However, he has attacked the corrupt deep state FBI.

Seriously? You are equating what Obama did to what Donnie is doing right now? Donnie has attack virtually every Institution in this country. Using his power to gain any leverage he possibly can to get this Russian Investigation off his back.
