The SCOTUS can smell the wind. There is a much larger decision coming soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,122 #6 April 27, 2020 They are abut to punt the tax document request by Congress, giving that one to Trump. He won't care about this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is an Obamacare case due to be heard. One much more important than the this one. And also far more important than the tax document case. Somethings are bigger than Trump. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/3/2/21161829/supreme-court-obamacare-2020-case Edited April 28, 2020 by gowlerk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfriverjoe 1,340 #8 April 28, 2020 Gonna disagree with you somewhat on that. While there are things 'bigger than Trump', the idea that the President is above the law is aborrent. The idea that he cannot be held responsible for his crimes goes against every principle this country was supposed to be founded upon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,400 #9 April 28, 2020 How embarrassing must it be to be a Trump supporter and see the country's out of work people being supported, not by Trump's plan for medical care, but by Obamacare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't give a flying fuck. Rush-like, they'll just dodge or ignore that ball, and look for another one to "counter" and "own" with. As long as their little world is good, who cares about all those other Americans. They must not be real Americans if they're not exactly.the.same. Wendy P.

You are probably right about those on the fringe right - That doesn't describe the rest of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendy P. i try to remind folks that it was the liberals who are the reason we have a country, as the conservatives were loyalists. that really pisses them off and puts things into perspective. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, when was the last time that there was an accusation against Trump or the Republicans in general that you didn’t either try and dismiss, or immediately counter with “but Hillary/Obama/Pelosi/Biden/the media”? Serious question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was routinely roasted heavily by the right for them. Funny how those same people are silent, or make really lame excuses when Trump does the same thing. At least none of Obama's statements would have killed anyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing, absolutely nothing that has been said about Trump by a remotely mainstream news source that comes close to being as unwarranted, uncalled-for, offensive, and disrespectful to the man and the office as that comment.
