Re: They are willing to destroy this country

The idea that a Billionaire will do anything to help the poor or those with no jobs is so stupid that most would just think he is a con man. Also so sad that those that backed him are taking the most hurt from his acts. He will say anything and the Rubes will believe him. All I can say is 4 more BEERS!!

Donald Trump isn't budging at all. The congress isn't doing anything to kick him out of the office. I want him out right now!

Ah, yes, more taxes. A republican's secret guilty pleasure.

The only thing worse than the timber tarriff is the proposed "porn tax"; because porn ecourages sex trafficking and the solution is to therefore profit from it. When the government tries to put free speech behind a paywall, is it still free?

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

I am sorry if I burst anyone's bubble here, but hey, you don't always get to win the election, and hey, their decisions might not go with your plan, but if he got elected it's because people voted for him. I guess you can all safely assume that at least almost half the American population is content with his administration. Democracy is not always fair, but its the best kind of system we've gotten until now, from a people's-voice-should-be-heard point of view.

I have not read the thread, but heck, saying that an entire administration is set out to destroy its country is way too hyperbolic to my taste. It took Stalin to destroy Russia, Chavez to destroy Venezuela, Castro to destroy Cuba.

It's definitely not Trump who will be able to take down such a beast as the United States of America. Just chill, and make your voice be heard through the democratic institutions and rights present in your country.

Also if I completely missed the point of this thread, I politely ask you to forgive me, and the moderators to take down my message if needed. I don't necessarily want to debate on this, but I just felt like throwing in my two cents. My country (France) is currently facing political chaos because people are butthurt their candidate didn't win. Feels like Eurovision over here.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

Sorry, but I'm an American. I don't have to like anything, nor do I have to sit down and shut up.

I can, and will, voice my opinion in any place where it is appropriate to do so. That, since you missed it, IS the point of this thread - to give a place for those who wish to use it - to take out our ire at an extremely unpopular, incompetent, illiterate, and inarticulate con man turned president.

If you don't like it, continue to not read it.

SeanRave, I never have an issue with you or any of your post and I'm being level headed about but your comments I find it applauding. I'm sorry to say this but we have every right to voice our opinion about Trump anyway we can. I know that you're from France and I don't know how you handle your political views over there but don't be twisting your opinion telling us to deal with it. I'm saying it in a nice and calm way.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

Does seem like I missed the point. Of course you have the right to voice your opinion, I just thought this thread was about the Trump administration litterally wanting to destroy the country. Shame on me for not reading. Resume your discussion and pardon my intervention then.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

USA is going downhill by the moment. It's a matter of time that Trump will lead to World War 3. I hope that the congress will kick Trump out of the office until then.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

Congress can do that? I'm genuinely interested in knowing more.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

It is a process if and how a sitting president can be impeached. It has happened before,the Nixon case stands out. Rather than doing a public impeachment,he was allowed to resign. he was then pardoned by President Ford(his Vice pres who succeeded him) mainly to avoid world embarrassment from the scandal. This is where the term "The Watergate" scandal came from. US politics can be bumpy,but if I remember,Europe has had its own share of such things..

There are specific charges that can start an impeachment attempt.

I you might wonder why Trump "Might" be a little OFF

Trump says he may break up 9th Circuit Court after rulings go against him

I think he can't do this,but I am no expert on the law.

Re: They are willing to destroy this country

He's wanting to break up a cour because of something congress is doing? He needs to grow up; the republican congress did the same thing to Obama, openly stating that they won't approve ANY judge he nominated (which is obstruction), and he didn't throw a fit and tear down the Supreme Court

If he attempts to do this in order to avoid following the U.S. Constitution, he will have stepped directly into "I'm a dictator!" section of the arena.

At that point he will either be impeached, or a shooting war will start.

Edit - turns out I was wrong. On further research, it appears that he can break the 9th circuit court into smaller districts. If he does, though, it will sure look to me as if he is attempting to usurp the powers of the judiciary, and usurp control of the government.

The thought makes me somewhat ill.

If my understanding of Article 3 is correct then Trump has no power to disband a court. As such, in any other set of circumstances, this is where we start laughing. Unfortunately, Congress can disband any federal court short of the Supreme Court. The only court explicitly required by the Constitution is the US Supreme Court. Others are created as Congress sees fit. The Ninth Circuit exists due to a Congressional act setting up the various appelate courts. If Congress decides in its infinite wisdom to break the Ninth into 2 or 3 different courts and not hold onto the current judges then I'm not sure anything can stop them. Even if they could be compelled to keep the current judges, they can shrink the Ninth's jurisdiction to an absurd degree and leave appeals in the hands of brand new districts. Now pulling this bit of dickery isn't exactly easy or something to be done on a lark and it will require Republican unity but it should be possible.
