    For every upside there is a downside so I guess you shouldn't feel like a total loser.

    Bernie would beat Trump. But probably dems lose seats everywhere else.

    Pretty sure you told us you voted for Obama in 2008, and no one believed you when you said that either.

    Trump Blindsided His HHS Secretary With Pence Replacement On Coronavirus

    Trump never told his HHS Secretary Alex Azar that he was replacing him with Mike Pence as the leader of the Coronavirus response.

    Health and Human Services Secretary

    Alex Azar, who has been leading the coronavirus task force,

    was blindsided by the White House decision to put Vice President Pence in charge of the response to the virus outbreak

    The Cons ution prohibits Trump from pardoning Roger Stone

    “Many scholars agree that

    once a president has been impeached,

    he or she loses the power to pardon
    anyone for criminal offenses

    connected to the articles of impeachment,” he writes.

    “Less noticed is that even after the Senate’s failure to convict the president,

    he or she does not regain this power.”


    the president has “power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States,

    except in cases of impeachment.”

    The Cons ution’s framers added this caveat, writes Brettschneider, because

    they did not want a president to have the power to pardon people

    who helped him commit or get away with high crimes and misdemeanors.

    “The clause

    prevents the worst abuse of the pardon power:

    a president’s protecting cronies who have been convicted of crimes related to the president’s own wrongdoing,”

    https://www.rawstory.com/2020/02/the...e+Raw+Story%29

    My guess is that Trash will pardon Stone, the case may go to SCOTUS where the lawless, politicized 5 SCOTUS s will protect Trash.

    But who has "standing" to sue Trash for pardoning Stone?

    Scottish lawmaker:

    Reasonable grounds to suspect Trump or his associates ‘have been involved in serious crime’


    to investigate President Donald Trump’s deals through which he acquired his properties in Scotland,

    reports that the American president is
    using the U.S. federal government to help keep it afloat have dogged him.

    Patrick Harvie “said there were reasonable grounds for suspecting that the US president, or people he is connected with, ‘have been involved in serious crime,’”

    to seek an apply for an “unexplained wealth order” from a Scottish court,

    which would allow them to learn

    how the U.S. president “bankrolled his multimillion acquisitions of land and property in his mother’s homeland.”

    unexplained wealth order (UWO) is a mechanism which allows the Scottish government

    “to target suspected corrupt foreign officials who have potentially laundered stolen money through the UK.”

    If “a suspected corrupt foreign official, or their family, cannot show a legitimate source for their riches,”

    the Scottish government can seize properties.

    Go, Scotties, grab Trash's failing golf courses financed by the Russians. The King of Debt paid cash.

    British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read

    Someone on Quora asked “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

    A few things spring to mind.

    Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.

    For instance,
    he has no class,
    no charm,
    no coolness,
    no credibility,
    no compassion,
    no wit,
    no warmth,
    no wisdom,
    no subtlety,
    no sensitivity,
    no self-awareness,
    no humility,
    no honour and
    no grace

    – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.


    So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.


    Plus, we like a laugh.

    And while Trump may be laughable,

    he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.

    I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever.

    And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.


    But with Trump, it’s a fact.

    He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is –

    his idea of a joke is

    a crass comment,
    an illiterate insult,
    a casual act of cruelty.


    Trump is a troll.

    And like all trolls,

    he is never funny and

    he never laughs;

    he only crows or jeers.


    And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults –

    he actually thinks in them.

    His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

    There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

    Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront.

    Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.


    And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath.

    All our heroes are plucky underdogs:
    Robin Hood,
    Whittington,
    Oliver Twist.


    Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.


    He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.


    He’s more a fat white slug.

    A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.


    And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.

    That is, except when he is among bullies;

    then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.


    There are unspoken rules to this stuff –

    the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all.

    He punches downwards

    which a gentleman should, would, could never do –

    and every blow he aims is below the belt.

    He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and

    he kicks them when they are down.


    So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he

    says, and then think

    ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’

    is a matter of some confusion and

    no little distress to British people, given that:


    • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

    • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

    This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too;

    his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.


    After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss.

    He turns being artless into an art form;

    he is a Picasso of pettiness;

    a Shakespeare of .

    His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.


    God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and

    plenty of nasty people too.

    But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.


    He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.


    In fact, if Frankenstein decided

    to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.


    And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:


    ‘My God… what… have… I… created?


    If being a was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

    Huge win for Trash and as always, a huge DEFEAT for America

    Lawyers Say Don McGahn Ruling Is One Step Closer Towards American Monarchy

    blockbuster federal court ruling released late Friday afternoon that shocked and appalled several legal experts.

    ruled that former White House counsel

    Don McGahn did not have to abide by a congressional subpoena

    issued by the House Judiciary Committee during last year’s failed impeachment-and-removal effort.

    he court’s opinion is that the question itself is simply non-justiciable.

    Why?

    Because it’s a dispute between two co-equal branches of government and

    the judiciary, being the third equal branch, is not en led or equipped to settle the situation here.

    https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/lawyers-say-don-mcgahn-ruling-is-one-step-closer-towards-american-monarchy/

    Will the Dems appeal to SCOTUS?
