It blows my mind that there are no legal blocks in place to prevent this (yeah, I know it’s because this shit was so unthinkable that nobody prepared for it). This yahoo is on a mission to destroy EVERYTHING America was supposed to stand for. SOMETHING has to be done to stop this shit!
But her emails (sarcasm)
What a fucking joke.
Trump keeps using the term “deep state” to refer to anyone that stands in his way, however it should be noted that the term typically refers to a shadow government whose purpose is to enrich or increase the power of its members. So it’s rather ironic to be used derogatively by someone whose primary goal is using the government to enrich and increase the power of himself and anyone who sucks up to him.
Trump claims to want to clear the swamp when he is the swamp. Trump & Musk claim to want to fight the the deep state when they are the deep state. The Oligarchs are in charge, and they always have been.
There actually is a deep state, it’s just nothing like what the far right imagines. Jeffrey Sachs and Aaron Good Discuss ‘American Exception: Empire and the Deep State’
They had their chance at the voting booth… Fighting the good fight is hard when people vote against their interest.
FBI Vetting was implemented to keep “communists” out of the government and is unconstitutional don’t be a boot-licker.
Can’t wait to hear the explanation for the “unconstitutional” claim.
Show me in the Constitution any mention of the FBI as a requirement for any position of the executive branch.
That’s not how the constitution works
Which part would make a law requiring FBI checks to hold office illegal? If there isnt one then it’s not unconstitutional
Well because the constitution explicitly defines the requirements of the office, in full. Congress making up additional requirements that are not amendments to the constitution would be violating the separation of powers, essentially it would allow congress with a simple majority to deny the Executive Branch it’s constitutional powers.
Does it say ‘these are the only requirements?’ Or does it say ‘these things are required?’
Necessary and sufficient are not interchangeable.
So you would be totally ok if congress passed a law that said basically only a specific person is eligible to be president? “All future presidents must be born on August 2, 1984, in Middletown, Ohio, and must be a member of the Republican party.”
After all that wouldn’t be unconstitutional to you would it?
Oh my god, shut the fuck up.
I’m past the point where it shocks me
I’ve ceased being shocked, but with every mention of private Putin-penis holster and his ilk I get more depressed. Like that meme of the guy looking up to watch the oncoming apocalypse.
Yeah honestly, for all the value this has, they might as well just dispense with any vetting whatsoever. We know it’s a farce.
Worse than having Powell lie about WMDs at the UN tp justify invading Iraq.
