Can they recall him and then court-martial his ass?

He’s a Seal, FFS. A disgrace.

Ridiculous. As in, literally, worthy of ridicule.

This 28 second clip alone could help to bring down the US President.

Trump clearly says this "war" is "not for now", showing there is no immediate risk by Iran. That means, as per the War Powers Act 1973, he has broken the law by not gaining Congress's approval for this action.

-Failure of a president to appoint replacement is an assumed reappointment, or cedes choice to next president
-But, failure of Senate to hold hearings within 90 days waives their right to advice and consent. Silence cannot continue to be a method of withholding consent.

I generally agree, but it can be easier:

-12 year term
-3 successive president terms each get 3 full appointments, all of which start on Inauguration Day of next presidential term
-Appointments for death or impeachment just fill remaining term
-Eligible for one reappointment (total 24 years)

1/2

That describes a lot of the modern human condition: energy, climate change, healthcare…

I’m not sure it describes this. Food production takes space, and that’s not infinite.

Ok, but don’t overhype this. Just because Rs aren’t voting in the primaries doesn’t mean they won’t fall in line in November.

Dude, your definition of β€œburden” leaves something to be desired.

Did nobody at Wharton ever explain the reason for a progressive tax system in the context of the relative size of the β€œburden”?

Um… sure…

I admit, I don’t know the context of you bringing this up.

The question, though, is: could all of us grow/hunt/gather/catch enough food on said acre to sustain us?

It’s not population density that’s the problem. It’s food availability.

A) This is a lie. Other countries have it.
B) Trump uses it regularly.

Bottom line: They are afraid of you voting.

Text of statement by Bishop Daniel Gutierrez of the diocese of Pennsylvania (the whole text is here): As you know, I am not one who issues statements based on every news item that crosses the wire. However, as a Bishop and more importantly a follower of Jesus Christ, I was repulsed and sickened by the meme that was on the President’s feed depicting two children of God who served this nation as apes.
 
It is a sin against the Lord. This is not just politics or someone being themselves. It is an affront to Christ. Either you apologize, Mr. President, or you resign.
 
If that doesn’t happen, Congress and Mr. Speaker, who claims to be Christian, need to do something.
 
Death, the separation of families, and hate are not Christian. It is time for some courage on all issues. People are more important than your power or position.
 
In the event you need some scripture to justify courage, here is a start: Genesis 1:27, Acts 10:34-35, Galatians 3:28, Deuteronomy 10:17-19, James 2:8, Revelation 7:9-10, 1 John 4:19-21, Ephesians 2:1

Massie especially, and every Congressperson who voted for this, have the responsibility to publicize identities of redacted powerful people in these files.

Trump signed this. He has no right to protection now.

Just convince JD it’s time for a coup. I certainly don’t think he’s beneath it- it’s the only way he’s ever going to get to be president.

No, it’s not a justification or a defense.

But yes, they should absolutely go down with you- and hard.

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

But no, our education system isn’t failing our kids. American Government, especially, is doing just fine.

(Spoiler alert: they do. See Yick Wo v. Hopkins, Plyler v. Doe, Zadvydas v. Davis, etc. Those 3 cases alone cover 115 years of SCOTUS precedent.)
