The courts certainly do. Imagine how its going to go for his legal team the minute he tries to take a case to the Supreme Court. "So, you don't care for the constitution eh? Please proceed."

I thought these fuckers loved the Constitution. But what do you expect from a bunch of money worshipping, ignorant hypocrites.
What if "King Obama" said this.

Expect Republicans to be quiet on this and then dump on Trump in the next election without him.
I hope Trump lives long enough to see it.

Oh look, the big manbaby is whining because he isn't getting his way like he thought he would be able to.
Fuck off, you stupid twat.

I don't think Trump was ever one of "those guys". This is one of those interesting points where Trump has basically spoke to a lot of groups that didn't feel like anyone cared about their issues, but I'm pretty certain he doesn't actually care about those issues either. He thinks of himself as a savvy businessman, and probably as a centrist and pragmatist.
That's pretty harsh. Plus regardless of how much you dislike him, I'm pretty sure you'd dislike his replacement even more.
probably too hard to get an answer with that shrimp trump cock in his mouth all the time.
That's what they say.
In truth they're the party of the almighty dollar. Preferably to the ones that can go in their bank accounts.

And that won't happen either. We have checks and balances.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Calling it "his" party is a bit of a stretch. Republicans and Trump/Supporters might as well be two different parties with how much the Republicans oppose what Trump keeps trying to do

I'm just curious what arcane rules specifically he thinks are bad, or is it the whole part where a President can't just do whatever the hell he/she wants? I'd be willing to bet it's the latter.
First erode trust in the media. Then erode trust in the government. He may not be a fascist, but that's just because he's only been in office for 100 days...

soooo i'd like to hear from the people who claimed Obama was trying to get rid of the Constitution.
His replacement would be a bog-standard republican who at least seems to respect the constitution, would likely have Bannon removed and can form a coherent sentence. That's 100% a massive upgrade.

All I have to say is, it is an amazing thing that the drafters of the constitution really hated monarchy. They dispersed power and put in multiple means of stopping any single person running or ruining the country. It's actually amazing foresight. But if you think of the goal "no monarchs" they did everything they could to prevent one.
Legislative and executive power dispersed amongst the presidency, House, Senate. Judiciary separate. Then states have power as well (if 2/3 states call for constitutional convention, it can be amended). They basically divided power as much as possible.
That's why lawmaking is so frustrating, but no matter how much damage Trump does, he will not take down the republic. Pretty amazing foresight from people who had never seen a functioning democracy.

I think he'll just get pissed. Rant and rave about how Mexicans stole the election and how he's going to fight. But then, he'll just leave the White House, like quietly in the night. Early. He won't stick around until Mid Jan.
Just my guess.

He was always a fascist. There was never any doubt to anyone actually paying attention
It's important to note that they based it on British political institutions but more vitally inspired French revolutionary principles.
This is the only reason our system works well.
No one can agree on shit. But the potential is there, if no one cares to follow the system, the system will fail.
Not at all difficult to imagine. He's a rich white man that talked shit about black people, brown people, women, and Muslims. America is racist as hell and that's why he won the election.

I'm gonna be totally honest here and say that if the republicans have to hold all three branches of government, I'd prefer their leader be a complete fuckup who can't get anything done properly. Imagine the damage the republicans could do right now if they had somebody competent in charge.

I was waiting for him to say this. Racism has such a foothold that even this doesn't take him down. What a shitshow.
I legit think if he was younger he would try. This is unprecedented shit here for someone so fascist to be president of the US. Nothing is too extraordinary.

Trump's competency isn't even really the biggest issue as to why the GOP can't get anything done. The party, despite its cult like feel now, has real splits that is preventing anything from getting off the ground

True, the freedom caucus/tea party is often at opposition with the more moderate members of the party, but I still feel as though a competent leader would be able to pull them together to get basic tasks done. Trump not even having an idea of how government works means that he has no chance of being that competent leader and instead, you have a republican party warring with itself and nobody to guide them.

Do the Republicans even have a competent leader?
Because it certainly isn't going to be Pence or Ryan.
Ryan can't even keep the House in order.

The fact that Trump won their party primaries should answer that.

It's not nearly that simple. He talked a very big, simple talk that appealed to working class Americans and really rallied behind the banner of tax breaks and a strong economy under someone who was a very successful businessman. Lots of big promises that always painted an America first. There were plenty of people driven away by Hillary, especially Burniebusters and (at least in my area) voters who went third party or didn't vote because they didn't want either side. His media presence was unbeatable.
Yes, he also pushed all the correct buttons for the more disgusting side of America, but that wasn't what won him the election.
What are you talking about? He got elected into office, he's there to stay short of voluntarily leaving (ha!) or official proceedings (ha!), and his approval rating has been dropping steadily.
