(38,726 posts)...this one could do it....at least the engines are warming up..not out of the garage yet. But..a number of Republicans saw the comment, about the courts not reviewing what Trump does...........Miller said that about Trump's authority................
.........Republicans claim to want to "conserve" the Constitution and what it stands for. The authority of the Supreme Court in matters, matches that of the President, and the Supreme Court has been legally interpreting the power of the President for over 200 years. Miller is nuts, was nuts, and always will be...

(24,394 posts)HOLD ON FOLKS, WE ARE REALLY IN FOR A FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES! We are in a fight for the very soul of our country and for the values of self-determination and social rights. Once he has his Reichstag Fire, which I would bet is being planned by Bannon and Miller right now, our constitution is gone in the name of fear and the Bill of Rights will just be a fond memory. His brown shirts will take over and we will be in a situation we could never even have imagined 3 years ago.

(3,209 posts)you think some words have more power than they actually do!
This is insane! "will not be questioned" ? Even if I was a child I would resent anyone speaking to me like that.

Do you think they would be too timid to say anything?
Do you think they would just play party politics?
If the cost of freedom is eternal vigilance, do we even deserve to be free?

https://www.apnews.com/c4f583c4d37d4af3abff25d345adfc44/AP-Fact-Check:-How-did-Trump-statements-measure-up?
WASHINGTON (AP) It was a week of sound and fury from President Donald Trump, the commander in tweets. A look at how some of his statements fit with the facts:
TRUMP made an unsupported assertion Monday that terrorist acts in Europe are going unreported: "All over Europe it's happening. It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported. And in many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it. They have their reasons, and you understand that."
THE FACTS: Trump and his team cited one example of a deadly terrorist attack going unreported: the one that didn't happen in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Adviser Kellyanne Conway spoke a week earlier about a Bowling Green "massacre" that didn't take place, correcting herself when she was called out on the error.
As for Trump's claim about Europe, it's probably true that you haven't heard of every attack on the continent that can be tied to terrorism. Scores if not hundreds happen every year. Many don't rise to the level of an international audience because they cause no casualties, or little or no property damage, or are carried out by unknown assailants for unclear reasons.
One exhaustive list is the Global Terrorism Database, maintained by the University of Maryland. It lists 321 episodes of suspected or known terrorism in Western Europe alone in 2015. Many are anti-Muslim attacks against mosques, not the brand of terrorism Trump has expressed concern about. Many are attacks undertaken for right-wing or left-wing causes that have nothing to do with Islamic extremism or xenophobic attacks on mosques....snip
