The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the second quarter of 2018 is 4.8 percent on June 1, up from 4.7 percent on May 31. The nowcasts for second-quarter real consumer spending growth and second-quarter real private fixed investment growth increased from 3.4 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively, to 3.5 percent and 5.4 percent, respectively, after the employment report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the construction spending report from the U.S. Census Bureau, and the Manufacturing ISM Report On Business from the Institute for Supply Management were released this morning.
**Last evening I made a huge mistake and broke a cardinal rule of mine. While I should have been sleeping, I read a post about a weird anti-woman diatribe against Ivanka Trump.
At the time, my mind was still reeling over the Rosanne debacle.
The grim reaper of social divisiveness was working overtime.
All of the media attention — television, film, radio and social media — to the emotional tirades and strife-filled content (intentional and unintentional) is currently jamming frequencies of healing, reconciliation — and unity.
On our radio show "Changing Your Community Broadcast," my friend and co-host Emmanuel Boose makes some good points. We should not fan the flames of anarchy. Also, selective judgment is fake justice. If you’re going to clean house, be thorough.
Talk about draining the swamp.
Can we please take a step back from political enmity and emotional tirades; stop taking the stealthy anti-Christ bait of strife and division; and try to love each other, not as color blind but as One Race/One Blood human beings?
Yes. I broke my own rule and ignored my own advice against consuming inflammatory verbal and visual garbage when I should be sleeping or praying, Philippians 4: 6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
My rule — in the ongoing effort to overcome evil with good, it’s wise to avoid intake of a dietary overabundance of vitriol and divisive media driven cerebral dishes at odd hours.
In other words, flooding your senses with negative and inflammatory reports early in the morning or late at night is bad for your overall health.
We are facing sensory diarrhea. Are we becoming so anti-everything that we are disrupting all that is good about humanity? Yes, people are dying prematurely. Yes, people are suffering. Yes, we need help. But devouring each other in strife won’t solve our problems. We need a spiritual antacid.**
**Hamas Taken Off-Guard by Intensity of Clash with Israel
After terrorist rockets began raining down on southern Israel this week, the Israeli military responded quickly and forcefully. Our friends at JNS tell us that the response was so forceful, that Hamas soon begged Israel for a ceasefire:
Hours after the latest Gaza flare-up drew to a close on Wednesday, defense officials were upbeat, saying Israel should be satisfied with the results. The officials said that Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, was taken off-guard by the intense nature of the fighting.
Islamic Jihad fired a barrage of some 30 mortars towards Israel on Tuesday morning, which triggered the most aggressive escalation since the 2014 Gaza war. According to defense officials, Hamas signed off on the barrage ahead of time so as to let the Islamic Jihad exact revenge for an incident earlier in the week, in which Israel killed three of its members when they tried to plant an explosive device near the Gaza border fence.
However, despite the initial green light, Hamas was taken aback by the large number of mortar bombs fired at Israel and was also surprised by the Israeli retaliation, which included some 30 daytime sorties targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets.**

**Philadelphia, PA – Employees of color who attended the highly-publicized “unconscious bias training” for Starbucks employees on Tuesday have reported it was more of a lesson on police brutality than anything else.
Starbucks closed 8,000 stores for several hours on May 30 to facilitate seminars for its employees after the coffee shop was at the forefront of a racial controversy in April.
“It felt like we were off task the entire time because we didn’t reflect on the situation itself,” a black 18-year-old Starbucks employee called “Tina” told Philadelphia Magazine.
“The training materials focused a lot on police brutality, which had nothing to do with the incident that happened,” Tina said.
She was referring to the incident that occurred at a Philadelphia Starbucks on April 12 when two black men were arrested for trespassing after employees called the police because they hadn’t purchased anything and refused to leave.
On that occasion, despite the controversy that surrounded their ejection from the coffee shop, no force was used to remove the men, and there have been zero allegations of police brutality.
In fact, the Philadelphia police commissioner instituted a new policy after they incident that required Starbucks employees to address company policy and commit to pressing charges before officers will make an arrest in one of their stores.**

The President Can Terminate Any Investigation Including into his actions!
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s lawyers have for months quietly waged a campaign to keep the special counsel from trying to force him to answer questions in the investigation into whether he obstructed justice, asserting that he cannot be compelled to testify and arguing in a confidential letter that he could not possibly have committed obstruction because he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations.
In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter — sent to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and obtained by The New York Times — contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.”
It remains our position that the President’s actions here, by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself, and that he could, if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired.1
He is claiming that if he's indicted, if that is even allowed he can pardon himself. He is above the law The President is the Commander in Chief.He is not the Commander in Chief of the Department of Justice. He is claiming that he could do anything he wants short of being impeached. Given the highly partisan nature of impeachment, any President can do anything he wants.
We express again, as we have expressed before, that the Special Counsel’s inquiry has been and remains a considerable burden for the President and his Office, has endangered the safety and security of our country, and has interfered with the President’s ability to both govern domestically and conduct foreign affairs. This encumbrance has been only compounded by the astounding public revelations about the corruption within the FBI and Department of Justice which appears to have led to the alleged Russia collusion investigation and the establishment of the Office of Special Counsel in the first place.2The Special Counsel acknowledged that he was aware of and understands this burden and, accordingly, has committed to expedite his effort.
deep state email proof that the whole thing it to attack Trump. They were so frustrated that won the election they doubled down on the efforts to take down Trump. That is not backed up by the fact but that doesn't stop them from lying about it repeatedly.
The records and testimony we have, pursuant to the President’s directive, already voluntarily provided to your office allow you to delve into the conversations and actions that occurred in a significant and exhaustive manner, including but not limited to the testimony of the President’s interlocutors themselves. In light of these voluntary offerings, your office clearly lacks the requisite need to personally interview the President.
You really should read this and consider what any President in the future can do, especially if a Democrat won and cheated the system to win, he can't be charged. He could order investigations into Trummp's financial history that he has kept hidden. Or even worse, the President would be by default a dictator, not a separate but equal but equal branch of the government with defined powers, no those defined by the President.
So Roger is taking the side of an unelected bureaucrat against the duly elected president of the United States who is chief executive and has the enumerated powers are as follows:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump fabricated history when it came to assessing the 2016 election, his achievements on the opioid epidemic and a congressman's voting record on taxes. Critics of his immigration policy got it wrong when they accused the Trump administration of taking 1,500 immigrant children from their parents and losing them.
The week in review:
TRUMP: "African-Americans vote for Democrats for the most part. You know, vast majority. They've been doing it for over 100 years." — Nashville rally Tuesday.
THE FACTS: Not 100 years or anything close. Most African-Americans for much of U.S. history were disenfranchised, then prevented from voting until the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlawed racial discrimination in voting. Before then, those who could vote mostly backed Republicans until the 1932 election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose New Deal programs of economic relief helped spur a longer-term shift of black support from Republican to Democrat.
___
TRUMP: "Some of these states, I won by 44 points." — Nashville rally.
THE FACTS: Not some. One. He won Wyoming with 70 percent of the vote in 2016, exceeding Hillary Clinton's 22 percent by nearly 48 points, according to Associated Press election data. His next biggest win came in West Virginia, where he won by 42 points.
Nationwide, Trump lost the popular vote. He garnered 46 percent to Clinton's 48 percent, but ultimately won the election based on an Electoral College system in which the votes of smaller rural states that generally backed Trump are weighted more heavily than big, Democratic-leaning states such as New York and California.

"When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end?" Trump said in the tweet.
Trump Spends More on Mar-a-Lago Than Mueller on Probe
“President Trump has spent more in taxpayer dollars on his frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida than Robert Mueller’s office has spent on the Russia investigation so far, despite Trump’s attacks on the high cost of the Russia probe,” The Hill reports.
“The president has repeatedly attacked the Mueller probe for racking up millions of dollars in expenditures after the Justice Department reported this week that the special counsel’s office had spent roughly $16.7 million… But that number is dwarfed by the amount required to pay for the president’s numerous trips to the ‘Winter White House,’ which The Washington Post and Politico analyses have estimated to cost taxpayers on average between $1 and $3 million dollars per trip.”
Obviously Obama and his wingman used the FBI for political purposes. And the IRS, EPA, DOJ etc. Worst scandal in American history and slowly coming out...
Impeachment is politically motivated as would be congressional investigations. The President would be in effect the dictator especially if the Congress is his own party.
The founders did not anticipate political parties. The Supreme Court has ruled previously that the President is subject to subpoena for Nixon and Clinton.
If President Hillary Rodham Clinton had declared herself above the law enforcement system you would be screaming #impeachment hypocrites R Trumpets.

George Washington lamented that political party wrangling "agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another."

The president's lawyer Rudy Giuliani threatened a legal battle with special counsel Robert Mueller if he attempts to subpoena Donald Trump.
"If Mueller tries to subpoena us, we're going to court," Giuliani told ABC News.
His latest comments come on the heels of the publication of a 20-page confidential letter sent by Trump's lawyers to Mueller arguing that the president cannot legally obstruct justice in the Russia investigation due to his position as "chief law enforcement officer."
"It remains our position that the President's actions here, by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself, and that he could if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired," reads the letter dated January 29, which was first obtained and reported by the New York Times.
"On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Crying Time,” host Bill Maher argued President Trump is transforming the pardon power “into just another partisan tool to undermine our democracy.”
Sen. Bob Corker said Saturday that he is working with other Senate Republicans on an effort to "push back" on President Donald Trump's use of authority "in ways never intended and that are damaging to our country and our allies."
Earlier Saturday, the Tennessee Republican tweeted out a pair of articles focusing on the administration's recent announcement that it is imposing steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the European Union, and some of its other economic interventions that go against traditional free-market Republican orthodoxy. One, a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, argued the tariffs will harm the US economy and American foreign policy. The other, a Washington Post story, mentioned an administration plan to keep coal and nuclear power plants from closing .
In response to the articles, Corker wrote in a tweet, "These two stories feel like something I could have read in a local Caracas newspaper last week, not in America. Venezuela, here WE come!"
The senator said in a follow-up tweet, "I am working with like-minded Republican senators on ways to push back on the president using authorities in ways never intended and that are damaging to our country and our allies. Will Democrats join us?"
Three Democratic-Republicans, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, became presidents of the United States. The Democratic-Republican Party ceased to exist in the mid-1820s as new political parties emerged to replace it.

Lynn Bernard Amick was born to Charles E. and Jennie B. (Williams) Amick on October 17, 1910, in his parents’ sod house west of Springview, NE. He had two brothers: Ivan B. Amick, who is now deceased, and Carroll E. Amick, who currently lives in Rapid City. He also had one sister, Rita E. (Amick) Stroschine, who lives in Winner, SD. In 1913, Lynn’s family moved 10 miles south of Colome, SD. Lynn went to Kansas Flats Country School for grades 1-8. During the drought and dust storms of the early 1930’s, Lynn decided to truck his horses and wagon to Hartley, Iowa. Here he was employed by farmers. He later became a mechanic in Ocheyedan, IA. He married Blanche E. Petersen, on January 24, 1939, in Spencer, Iowa. They had one child together, Lynne Dee (Amick) Havens, who was 3 years old at the time of her father’s death. His sister, Rita, remembers Lynn as a kind and loving person who cared very much for his wife and daughter and all of his family.
On November 11, 1943, Lynn was drafted into the Army, training at Camp Fannin in Texas. He was part of Company E, 409th Infantry. He was shipped overseas from New York, October 1, 1944, to somewhere in France. His last letter was written to his parents on November 15, the day before he died. He told of dealing with rain and snow, living in tents with candles for light, sleeping in clothes except boots and leggings, and drying socks for the next day.
On November 16, 1944, in Southern France, Army Private Lynn B. Amick was killed in battle. We do not know where Private Amick was originally buried, but we do know that his body was moved to the U.S. Military Cemetery in Epinal, France. Current survivors of his family are Lynne Dee Havens, daughter, Glenwood Springs, CO; Carroll E. Amick, brother; and Rita Stroschine, sister.
Jeanne Pochop and Gaye Hambek, nieces of Private Amick, traveled to Europe where they spent a month in September of 1995. At the time, Pvt. Amick’s great niece, Pam (Hambek) Anderson and her family were living in Germany where her husband was stationed. Private Amick’s family had always wanted to visit his final resting place. Although his immediate family was not able to fulfill this dream, 51 years later, his nieces had the opportunity to travel to his gravesite. They placed a red rose on his cross as requested by his sister, Rita. Later Hambek wrote a speech about Private Amick and their trip to Epinal, France, to see his place of burial. An excerpt from her speech reads:
As we parked, we looked out over the 5255 white marble crosses so exactly spaced on a carpet of green, that no matter which way you viewed they were standing at attention in a straight line. The grounds were immaculately groomed and maintained. We were all in absolute awe, and none of us were able to speak at first as we were overcome with emotion.
It’s hard to explain our feelings as we each looked upon this white marble cross bearing the name of our family’s dear loved one – now so long ago taken from us. I felt that I could almost see his face -- in a transparent kind of way -- and I felt that he was at peace in this beautiful setting surrounded by all the others -- so far away from home also. Our loss was so long ago, but we had successfully gapped those 50 some odd years, and were now able to return home having accomplished our number 1 goal. Such wonderful peace and tranquility reigns here – and we left knowing that our loved ones are exceptionally well cared for.
His friends, family, and his country respected Private Lynn Bernard Amick, and the men in his Company looked up to him. I also respect Private Lynn B. Amick for fighting for our country and the freedom of others.
Neither does standing for the anthem......and anonymous needs to have his nuts cut off....Whom ever you are, you are nothing but a despicable loser that belongs in the Trump party of stupidity....
Do you realize what you advocate? Any President would be able to use the FBI and justice department as his own political purposes.
I'm fairly sure Obama did exactly that.
And I'm fairly sure that if Obama was still president instead of Trump you wouldn't be advocating for a deep-state bureaucratic kleptocracy where the president and congress are mere figureheads.
But you threw away all of your liberal democratic principles because Trump.
The United States presidential election of 1804 was the fifth quadrennial presidential election, held from Friday, November 2, to Wednesday, December 5, 1804. Incumbent Democratic-Republican President Thomas Jefferson defeated Federalist Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina. It was the first presidential election conducted following the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reformed procedures for electing presidents and vice presidents.
Impeachment is politically motivated as would be congressional investigations. The President would be in effect the dictator especially if the Congress is his own party.
Tell that to Andrew Johnson or Richard Nixon.
Impeachment is the only remedy to remove a president for unlawful acts and it was deliberately made hard in order to not use it to overturn an election.
In other words a president can only be removed if there is a consensus in the country that he indeed committed high crimes and misdemeanors.
Worthless POS posting because he can't sleep.....find a job yet or will you just continue to leech on society like the loser your kind are....What a sorry existence you and your troll anonymous lead......LOLOLOLOL!!! Assholery is all you got!!!

Anyone else believe Team Trump leaked his lawyers' Jan. 2018 letter to Mueller to the New York Slimes? Team Trump did two things very well today.
POTUS put out his “lawyers letter” tweet before the story dropped. So Trump pre-empted the story even before it hit.
Within 2.5 hours or so after the NYT story hit, John Roberts of FOX put out his own story on the same lawyer letter. But instead of the story having the NYT spin, now it had the Team Trump spin.
And in that Roberts story, it was sure to mention that Team Trump was still negotiating on the interview (which they won’t do, but they want the public to believe they may still do).
Rapid response strategic communications. Great job.
“President Trump appears prepared to unravel 70 years of painstaking effort that the United States has led to build an international system of trade based on mutually accepted rules and principles,” the Washington Post reports. “Ever since an agreement on trade emerged in 1947 from the ashes of World War II, presidents of both parties have pushed this system as a way to strengthen alliances and promote the expansion of democracy and prosperity in Europe and Asia.
“But with Trump’s decision last week to enact aluminum and steel tariffs against U.S. allies in Europe and North America, he is subverting previously agreed-upon trade pacts. The result is a brewing trade war with Canada, Mexico and Europe, which are expressing shock and bitter frustration while enacting tariffs of their own on a bevy of American products.” ________________

“Mr. Trump’s lawyers fear that if he answers questions, either voluntarily or in front of a grand jury, he risks exposing himself to accusations of lying to investigators, a potential crime or impeachable offense.”
The data was released Wednesday and comes from the Nielsen Media Research Center, which shows Fox News reaching 2.38 million primetime viewers in May while competitors MSNBC and CNN trailed far behind.
CNN reached just 835,000 viewers by comparison. CNN and MSNBC also experienced drops in their number of total day viewers compared to previous months.
Has Trump already 'won' with his North Korea gambit?
Even putting denuclearization on the table makes Kim a loser. By showing up and talking denuclearization at all, Kim accepts the basic US premise of a new relationship; normalization and a lifting of sanctions will only be possible if Kim gives up his nukes.
How is this not a win? Whatever gains in stature Kim gets from his Trump meeting will be more than negated by his humiliating climb down from his government's long stated demand that any talks be predicated on the fact that North Korea will not give up its nukes.
To own the libs, or to not own the libs, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sit and take the abuse The slinged insults and the pointed ire of outrageous liberals, Or to take arms against a sea of troubled contradictions...
Few Americans are able to pick up a book by Adam Smith and learns the ins and outs of a free society overnight. Thanks to decades of Hollywood and academia propagating liberal cultural assumptions, many can't begin to think about society in any other way.
The first step to conversion is often shocking a person into questioning his own presumptions. The hard task of teaching comes next. Perhaps the method could be called "troll first, teach next."
I am not arguing against that the only way that the President can be removed from office is through impeachment.
This President is arguing that he is above the law. He can't be subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury under any circumstances. And that short of impeachment he is invulnerable.
He can direct every agency under the executive branch to do as he directed.
You have been claiming that the Obama administration directly ordered the governmental agencies to attack Trump's campaign in favor of Clinton. Your argument is that the Obama administration had the right to intervene in favor of Clinton and in doing so you are justifying that any President has the authority to do just as you claim at any time.
You are contradicting yourself.
I don't think that any President should have that much authority. But you think that any President is actually able to do anything fucking wants to do short of impeachment.
I know I'm repeating myself but this is a big fucking problem.
Obama is a private citizen and if he acted as you claim he did, he was doing just the same thing you believe that Trump can do without any restrictions short of impeachment.
A lot to process (ha!) Replies to MSNBC hiring Ben ‘Obama Bro’ Rhodes will have you in STITCHES
MSNBC hired Ben Rhodes? Man, we already thought he worked for them.
Who knew?
It’ll be a serious stretch for the Obama Bro, but we have faith he can continue to make a pretzel out of himself to defend and protect Obama’s legacy. At this point, the Left really should give the man a gold medal for his mental gymnastics efforts.
Your argument is that the Obama administration had the right to intervene in favor of Clinton and in doing so you are justifying that any President has the authority to do just as you claim at any time.
No, the remedy for Obama would have been impeachment. The remedy for Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Hillary Clinton are long jail times.
There's no contradiction.
Absent that, the penalty is political in that the Democrats can not be trusted with power.
Obama is a private citizen and if he acted as you claim he did, he was doing just the same thing you believe that Trump can do without any restrictions short of impeachment.
Ordering an illegal action such as spying on American citizens for political purposes is quite different than firing your FBI director.
The former is a criminal act, the latter is a legitimate exercise of executive authority.
Obama as private citizen can very well be indicted. (It's the reason why Ford pardon Nixon.)
Trump as president can only be impeached. As private citizen he could be indicted but discharging his duties as president does not qualify.
The President is reversing the economic policies that the Republicans have stranded for since Reagan. If we go into a trade war with our allies think of 1929.
Ordering an illegal action such as spying on American citizens for political purposes is quite different than firing your FBI director.
You're clearly claiming that this President has the authority to use the FBI and justice department for political purposes, including partisanship in the next election. But Obama should be prosecuted for the exact same actions Trump can do.
The former is a criminal act, the latter is a legitimate exercise of executive authority. You are contradicting yourself again. Trump has the authority to do that without breaking the law.

The President is reversing the economic policies that the Republicans have stranded for since Reagan. If we go into a trade war with our allies think of 1929.
So Rog...
You think that the Republicans are going to have a tough time campaigning on the economy, huh?
You're clearly claiming that this President has the authority to use the FBI and justice department for political purposes, including partisanship in the next election. But Obama should be prosecuted for the exact same actions Trump can do.
The Obama/Comey FBI ordered the use of a paid undercover agent to gather information on Trump campaign members...
Trump is asking the FBI to internally investigate whether or not the FBI acted within all of the guidelines, rules, and regulations in doing so.
Not sure why you are so confused by this or believe that an internal FBI investigation would be somehow criminal. Is it your medication that makes you intellectually "slow"?
Blogger Roger Amick said... They did not anticipate two political parties.
The Democratic-Republican Party ceased to exist in the mid-1820s as new political parties emerged to replace it.
Plural means more than one. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
there's wrong, and then there's fucking alky wrong:
The Federalist Era was a period in American history from roughly 1789-1801 when the Federalist Party was dominant in American politics. This period saw the adoption of the United States Constitution and the expansion of the federal government. In addition, the era saw the growth of a strong nationalistic government under the control of the Federalist Party. Among the most important events of this period were the foreign entanglements between France and Great Britain, the assertion of a strong centralized federal government, and the creation of political parties. The First Party System of the United States featured the Federalist Party and the Democratic- Republican Party (also known as the Anti-Federalist Party)
Republicans, or the Democratic-Republican Party, was founded in 1792 by Jefferson and James Madison. The party was created in order to oppose the policies of Hamilton and the Federalist Party. In contrast to the Federalists, the Republican supported a strict construction interpretation of the Constitution, and denounced many of Hamilton’s proposals (especially the national bank) as unconstitutional. The party promoted states’ rights and the primacy of the yeoman farmer over bankers, industrialists, merchants, and other monied interests. The party supported states’ rights as a measure against the tyrannical nature of a large centralized government that they feared the Federal government could have easily become. It would be Jefferson and the Republican Party that would replace the Federalist Party domination of politics following the election of 1800.
Political Parties from 1800–1824
The First Party System refers to political party system existing in the United States between roughly 1792 and 1824.
The First Party System is a model of American politics used by political scientists and historians to periodize the political party system existing in the United States between roughly 1792 and 1824. Rising out of the Federalist v. Anti-Federalist debates, it featured two national parties competing for control of the presidency, Congress, and the states: the Federalist Party, created largely by Alexander Hamilton, and the rival Democratic-Republican Party formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Federalists were dominant until 1800, and the Republicans were dominant after 1800.
In an analysis of the contemporary party system, Jefferson wrote on Feb. 12, 1798: “Two political Sects have arisen within the US, the one believing that the executive is the branch of our government which the most needs support; the other, that like the analogous branch in the English Government, it is already too strong for the republican parts of the Constitution; and therefore in equivocal cases they incline to the legislative powers: the former of these are called federalists, sometimes aristocrats or monocrats, and sometimes tories, after the corresponding sect in the English Government of exactly the same definition: the latter are stiled republicans, whigs, jacobins, anarchists, disorganizers, etc. these terms are in familiar use with most persons. ”
Not yet. The economy is growing rapidly and that is going to help the Republicans in this off year election. But probably less effective at this point in time because outside the Republican party is the Trump Party.
The house will change hands, the Senate will remain under Republican control.
The President cannot pardon himself from impeachment.
He will be succeed by the Vice President immediately upon conviction by a 2/3 majority vote to convict him of the impeachment charges from the house of Representatives.
Again you are not making your case because this was all after the establishment of the government of the independent government of the United States.
LOL.
you fucking moron. of course it was AFTER the nation was born. we had to start somewhere, genius. the point is, which you were wrong about to begin with and refuse to admit, is that upon the founding of the nation the formation of political parties was IMMEDIATE. in other words there was more than one from DAY ONE.
and by the way, what the fuck does THIS even mean?
the establishment of the government of the independent government
i did. and it was roughly six years AFTER the establishment of the parties in 1792.
you're an idiot, alky. a stubborn idiot in the grip of invincible ignorance.
The invincible ignorance fallacy[1] is a deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. It is not so much a fallacious tactic in argument as it is a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word, the method instead being to either make assertions with no consideration of objections or to simply dismiss objections by calling them excuses, conjecture, etc. or saying that they are proof of nothing; all without actually demonstrating how the objection fit these terms (see ad lapidem fallacy).
Instead our broken lowly educated CAsissy, a tempted and failed to attack the patriotism of Cali and myself. Called us Nazi's on Memorial Day for exercising our right to vote in a free and fair election.

**Last evening I made a huge mistake and broke a cardinal rule of mine. While I should have been sleeping, I read a post about a weird anti-woman diatribe against Ivanka Trump.
At the time, my mind was still reeling over the Rosanne debacle.
The grim reaper of social divisiveness was working overtime.
All of the media attention — television, film, radio and social media — to the emotional tirades and strife-filled content (intentional and unintentional) is currently jamming frequencies of healing, reconciliation — and unity.
On our radio show "Changing Your Community Broadcast," my friend and co-host Emmanuel Boose makes some good points. We should not fan the flames of anarchy. Also, selective judgment is fake justice. If you’re going to clean house, be thorough.
Talk about draining the swamp.
Can we please take a step back from political enmity and emotional tirades; stop taking the stealthy anti-Christ bait of strife and division; and try to love each other, not as color blind but as One Race/One Blood human beings?
Yes. I broke my own rule and ignored my own advice against consuming inflammatory verbal and visual garbage when I should be sleeping or praying, Philippians 4: 6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
My rule — in the ongoing effort to overcome evil with good, it’s wise to avoid intake of a dietary overabundance of vitriol and divisive media driven cerebral dishes at odd hours.
In other words, flooding your senses with negative and inflammatory reports early in the morning or late at night is bad for your overall health.
We are facing sensory diarrhea. Are we becoming so anti-everything that we are disrupting all that is good about humanity? Yes, people are dying prematurely. Yes, people are suffering. Yes, we need help. But devouring each other in strife won’t solve our problems. We need a spiritual antacid.**

**Hamas Taken Off-Guard by Intensity of Clash with Israel
After terrorist rockets began raining down on southern Israel this week, the Israeli military responded quickly and forcefully. Our friends at JNS tell us that the response was so forceful, that Hamas soon begged Israel for a ceasefire:
Hours after the latest Gaza flare-up drew to a close on Wednesday, defense officials were upbeat, saying Israel should be satisfied with the results. The officials said that Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007, was taken off-guard by the intense nature of the fighting.
Islamic Jihad fired a barrage of some 30 mortars towards Israel on Tuesday morning, which triggered the most aggressive escalation since the 2014 Gaza war. According to defense officials, Hamas signed off on the barrage ahead of time so as to let the Islamic Jihad exact revenge for an incident earlier in the week, in which Israel killed three of its members when they tried to plant an explosive device near the Gaza border fence.
However, despite the initial green light, Hamas was taken aback by the large number of mortar bombs fired at Israel and was also surprised by the Israeli retaliation, which included some 30 daytime sorties targeting Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets.**

**Philadelphia, PA – Employees of color who attended the highly-publicized “unconscious bias training” for Starbucks employees on Tuesday have reported it was more of a lesson on police brutality than anything else.
Starbucks closed 8,000 stores for several hours on May 30 to facilitate seminars for its employees after the coffee shop was at the forefront of a racial controversy in April.
“It felt like we were off task the entire time because we didn’t reflect on the situation itself,” a black 18-year-old Starbucks employee called “Tina” told Philadelphia Magazine.
“The training materials focused a lot on police brutality, which had nothing to do with the incident that happened,” Tina said.
She was referring to the incident that occurred at a Philadelphia Starbucks on April 12 when two black men were arrested for trespassing after employees called the police because they hadn’t purchased anything and refused to leave.
On that occasion, despite the controversy that surrounded their ejection from the coffee shop, no force was used to remove the men, and there have been zero allegations of police brutality.
In fact, the Philadelphia police commissioner instituted a new policy after they incident that required Starbucks employees to address company policy and commit to pressing charges before officers will make an arrest in one of their stores.**

"California Governor Jerry Brown signed two bills that will force water districts and municipalities to permanently adopt even more aggressive water rationing level than during the state’s 5-year drought.
The San Jose Mercury reported that Brown issued a press statement that a changing environment means the state must begin to conserve water resources in preparation for the next drought. Brown started: “We have efficiency goals for energy and cars – and now we have them for water.”
The President Can Terminate Any Investigation Including into his actions!
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s lawyers have for months quietly waged a campaign to keep the special counsel from trying to force him to answer questions in the investigation into whether he obstructed justice, asserting that he cannot be compelled to testify and arguing in a confidential letter that he could not possibly have committed obstruction because he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations.
In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter — sent to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and obtained by The New York Times — contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.”
It remains our position that the President’s actions here, by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself, and that he could, if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired.1
He is claiming that if he's indicted, if that is even allowed he can pardon himself. He is above the law The President is the Commander in Chief.He is not the Commander in Chief of the Department of Justice. He is claiming that he could do anything he wants short of being impeached. Given the highly partisan nature of impeachment, any President can do anything he wants.

The document.
From the memo linked above.
We express again, as we have expressed before, that the Special Counsel’s inquiry has been and remains a considerable burden for the President and his Office, has endangered the safety and security of our country, and has interfered with the President’s ability to both govern domestically and conduct foreign affairs. This encumbrance has been only compounded by the astounding public revelations about the corruption within the FBI and Department of Justice which appears to have led to the alleged Russia collusion investigation and the establishment of the Office of Special Counsel in the first place.2The Special Counsel acknowledged that he was aware of and understands this burden and, accordingly, has committed to expedite his effort.
deep state email proof that the whole thing it to attack Trump. They were so frustrated that won the election they doubled down on the efforts to take down Trump. That is not backed up by the fact but that doesn't stop them from lying about it repeatedly.
The records and testimony we have, pursuant to the President’s directive, already voluntarily provided to your office allow you to delve into the conversations and actions that occurred in a significant and exhaustive manner, including but not limited to the testimony of the President’s interlocutors themselves. In light of these voluntary offerings, your office clearly lacks the requisite need to personally interview the President.
You really should read this and consider what any President in the future can do, especially if a Democrat won and cheated the system to win, he can't be charged. He could order investigations into Trummp's financial history that he has kept hidden. Or even worse, the President would be by default a dictator, not a separate but equal but equal branch of the government with defined powers, no those defined by the President.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump fabricated history when it came to assessing the 2016 election, his achievements on the opioid epidemic and a congressman's voting record on taxes. Critics of his immigration policy got it wrong when they accused the Trump administration of taking 1,500 immigrant children from their parents and losing them.
The week in review:
TRUMP: "African-Americans vote for Democrats for the most part. You know, vast majority. They've been doing it for over 100 years." — Nashville rally Tuesday.
THE FACTS: Not 100 years or anything close. Most African-Americans for much of U.S. history were disenfranchised, then prevented from voting until the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which outlawed racial discrimination in voting. Before then, those who could vote mostly backed Republicans until the 1932 election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose New Deal programs of economic relief helped spur a longer-term shift of black support from Republican to Democrat.
___
TRUMP: "Some of these states, I won by 44 points." — Nashville rally.
THE FACTS: Not some. One. He won Wyoming with 70 percent of the vote in 2016, exceeding Hillary Clinton's 22 percent by nearly 48 points, according to Associated Press election data. His next biggest win came in West Virginia, where he won by 42 points.
Nationwide, Trump lost the popular vote. He garnered 46 percent to Clinton's 48 percent, but ultimately won the election based on an Electoral College system in which the votes of smaller rural states that generally backed Trump are weighted more heavily than big, Democratic-leaning states such as New York and California.
With SCOTUS nominees it requires "the Advice and Consent of the Senate".

Neither one makes the President above the law.
Hack Mueller, told to make his case, no President Trump interview or written questioning.
Nor is the special counsel above the president.
The president is the superior executor of the law. The constitutional relief for the president acting unlawfully is impeachment.
Congress would be the one to run an investigation. There shouldn't be a special counsel at all.
And a prosecutor who is beyond accountability to the president and/or congress is gossly unconstitutional as well as unlawful.
Trump’s Lawyers Argue He Can Stop Mueller Probe
“President Trump’s lawyers have for months quietly waged a campaign to keep the special counsel from trying to force him to answer questions in the investigation into whether he obstructed justice, asserting that he cannot be compelled to testify and arguing in a confidential letter that he could not possibly have committed obstruction because he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump’s lawyers fear that if he answers questions, either voluntarily or in front of a grand jury, he risks exposing himself to accusations of lying to investigators, a potential crime or impeachable offense.”
Trump took what appeared to be a pre-emptive swipe at the New York Times report shortly before it ran in a tweet that questioned whether Mueller's office or the Justice Department leaked letters from his lawyers.
"When will this very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax ever end?" Trump said in the tweet.
Trump Spends More on Mar-a-Lago Than Mueller on Probe
“President Trump has spent more in taxpayer dollars on his frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida than Robert Mueller’s office has spent on the Russia investigation so far, despite Trump’s attacks on the high cost of the Russia probe,” The Hill reports.
“The president has repeatedly attacked the Mueller probe for racking up millions of dollars in expenditures after the Justice Department reported this week that the special counsel’s office had spent roughly $16.7 million… But that number is dwarfed by the amount required to pay for the president’s numerous trips to the ‘Winter White House,’ which The Washington Post and Politico analyses have estimated to cost taxpayers on average between $1 and $3 million dollars per trip.”
Do you realize what you advocate?
Any President would be able to use the FBI and justice department as his own political purposes.
It is "impossible" for the "pastor" to stop spamming.
Unlike little jimmy's lies that is the proper use of the word.
ROFLMFAO !!!
Obviously Obama and his wingman used the FBI for political purposes. And the IRS, EPA, DOJ etc. Worst scandal in American history and slowly coming out...
Impeachment is politically motivated as would be congressional investigations. The President would be in effect the dictator especially if the Congress is his own party.
The founders did not anticipate political parties. The Supreme Court has ruled previously that the President is subject to subpoena for Nixon and Clinton.
If President Hillary Rodham Clinton had declared herself above the law enforcement system you would be screaming #impeachment hypocrites R Trumpets.

George Washington lamented that political party wrangling "agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another." And Thomas Jefferson, always good for a pithy line, swore "if I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all."

The president's lawyer Rudy Giuliani threatened a legal battle with special counsel Robert Mueller if he attempts to subpoena Donald Trump.
"If Mueller tries to subpoena us, we're going to court," Giuliani told ABC News.
His latest comments come on the heels of the publication of a 20-page confidential letter sent by Trump's lawyers to Mueller arguing that the president cannot legally obstruct justice in the Russia investigation due to his position as "chief law enforcement officer."
"It remains our position that the President's actions here, by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer, could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself, and that he could if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired," reads the letter dated January 29, which was first obtained and reported by the New York Times.

"On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Crying Time,” host Bill Maher argued President Trump is transforming the pardon power “into just another partisan tool to undermine our democracy.”

Neither one of you do either.
You're taking steps into a dictatorship and you don't even know it.
Roget, Cali and I served in the US Military. Do not attempt to tell us.
And a prosecutor who is beyond accountability to the president and/or congress is gossly unconstitutional as well as unlawful.
You're incorrect. The President can fire Muller in 30 seconds. The investigation is obliterated to submit the results to the Congress.

Sen. Bob Corker said Saturday that he is working with other Senate Republicans on an effort to "push back" on President Donald Trump's use of authority "in ways never intended and that are damaging to our country and our allies."
Earlier Saturday, the Tennessee Republican tweeted out a pair of articles focusing on the administration's recent announcement that it is imposing steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada, Mexico and the European Union, and some of its other economic interventions that go against traditional free-market Republican orthodoxy. One, a Wall Street Journal opinion piece, argued the tariffs will harm the US economy and American foreign policy. The other, a Washington Post story, mentioned an administration plan to keep coal and nuclear power plants from closing .
In response to the articles, Corker wrote in a tweet, "These two stories feel like something I could have read in a local Caracas newspaper last week, not in America. Venezuela, here WE come!"
The senator said in a follow-up tweet, "I am working with like-minded Republican senators on ways to push back on the president using authorities in ways never intended and that are damaging to our country and our allies. Will Democrats join us?"
I'm not fat.
I'm not standing aside as Venezuela, here WE come!"

Flat footed is not fat, reading comprehension would be helpful
Three Democratic-Republicans, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, became presidents of the United States. The Democratic-Republican Party ceased to exist in the mid-1820s as new political parties emerged to replace it.
Wow 3 of the first five Presidents and considered Founding Fathers were members of a political party.
Yet the blog historian was unaware and he can't man up and admit it

Lynn Bernard Amick was born to Charles E. and Jennie B. (Williams) Amick on October 17, 1910, in his parents’ sod house west of Springview, NE. He had two brothers: Ivan B. Amick, who is now deceased, and Carroll E. Amick, who currently lives in Rapid City. He also had one sister, Rita E. (Amick) Stroschine, who lives in Winner, SD. In 1913, Lynn’s family moved 10 miles south of Colome, SD. Lynn went to Kansas Flats Country School for grades 1-8. During the drought and dust storms of the early 1930’s, Lynn decided to truck his horses and wagon to Hartley, Iowa. Here he was employed by farmers. He later became a mechanic in Ocheyedan, IA. He married Blanche E. Petersen, on January 24, 1939, in Spencer, Iowa. They had one child together, Lynne Dee (Amick) Havens, who was 3 years old at the time of her father’s death. His sister, Rita, remembers Lynn as a kind and loving person who cared very much for his wife and daughter and all of his family.
On November 11, 1943, Lynn was drafted into the Army, training at Camp Fannin in Texas. He was part of Company E, 409th Infantry. He was shipped overseas from New York, October 1, 1944, to somewhere in France. His last letter was written to his parents on November 15, the day before he died. He told of dealing with rain and snow, living in tents with candles for light, sleeping in clothes except boots and leggings, and drying socks for the next day.
On November 16, 1944, in Southern France, Army Private Lynn B. Amick was killed in battle. We do not know where Private Amick was originally buried, but we do know that his body was moved to the U.S. Military Cemetery in Epinal, France. Current survivors of his family are Lynne Dee Havens, daughter, Glenwood Springs, CO; Carroll E. Amick, brother; and Rita Stroschine, sister.
Jeanne Pochop and Gaye Hambek, nieces of Private Amick, traveled to Europe where they spent a month in September of 1995. At the time, Pvt. Amick’s great niece, Pam (Hambek) Anderson and her family were living in Germany where her husband was stationed. Private Amick’s family had always wanted to visit his final resting place. Although his immediate family was not able to fulfill this dream, 51 years later, his nieces had the opportunity to travel to his gravesite. They placed a red rose on his cross as requested by his sister, Rita. Later Hambek wrote a speech about Private Amick and their trip to Epinal, France, to see his place of burial. An excerpt from her speech reads:
As we parked, we looked out over the 5255 white marble crosses so exactly spaced on a carpet of green, that no matter which way you viewed they were standing at attention in a straight line. The grounds were immaculately groomed and maintained. We were all in absolute awe, and none of us were able to speak at first as we were overcome with emotion.
It’s hard to explain our feelings as we each looked upon this white marble cross bearing the name of our family’s dear loved one – now so long ago taken from us. I felt that I could almost see his face -- in a transparent kind of way -- and I felt that he was at peace in this beautiful setting surrounded by all the others -- so far away from home also. Our loss was so long ago, but we had successfully gapped those 50 some odd years, and were now able to return home having accomplished our number 1 goal. Such wonderful peace and tranquility reigns here – and we left knowing that our loved ones are exceptionally well cared for.
His friends, family, and his country respected Private Lynn Bernard Amick, and the men in his Company looked up to him. I also respect Private Lynn B. Amick for fighting for our country and the freedom of others.
Your service doesn't mean that you are patriotic.
My uncle Lynn Amick was a patriot. He would have despised Trump.
Your service doesn't mean that you are patriotic.
Good riddance. On November 16, 1944, in Southern France, Army Private Lynn B. Amick was killed in battle.

I'm fairly sure Obama did exactly that.
And I'm fairly sure that if Obama was still president instead of Trump you wouldn't be advocating for a deep-state bureaucratic kleptocracy where the president and congress are mere figureheads.
But you threw away all of your liberal democratic principles because Trump.
The United States presidential election of 1804 was the fifth quadrennial presidential election, held from Friday, November 2, to Wednesday, December 5, 1804. Incumbent Democratic-Republican President Thomas Jefferson defeated Federalist Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Carolina. It was the first presidential election conducted following the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which reformed procedures for electing presidents and vice presidents.

Really, at age 70.
Impeachment is politically motivated as would be congressional investigations. The President would be in effect the dictator especially if the Congress is his own party.
Tell that to Andrew Johnson or Richard Nixon.
Impeachment is the only remedy to remove a president for unlawful acts and it was deliberately made hard in order to not use it to overturn an election.
In other words a president can only be removed if there is a consensus in the country that he indeed committed high crimes and misdemeanors.
You are nowhere near that consensus.

Anyone else believe Team Trump leaked his lawyers' Jan. 2018 letter to Mueller to the New York Slimes? Team Trump did two things very well today.
POTUS put out his “lawyers letter” tweet before the story dropped. So Trump pre-empted the story even before it hit.
Within 2.5 hours or so after the NYT story hit, John Roberts of FOX put out his own story on the same lawyer letter. But instead of the story having the NYT spin, now it had the Team Trump spin.
And in that Roberts story, it was sure to mention that Team Trump was still negotiating on the interview (which they won’t do, but they want the public to believe they may still do).
Rapid response strategic communications. Great job.
Trump Moves to Unravel International Trade
“President Trump appears prepared to unravel 70 years of painstaking effort that the United States has led to build an international system of trade based on mutually accepted rules and principles,” the Washington Post reports.
“Ever since an agreement on trade emerged in 1947 from the ashes of World War II, presidents of both parties have pushed this system as a way to strengthen alliances and promote the expansion of democracy and prosperity in Europe and Asia.
“But with Trump’s decision last week to enact aluminum and steel tariffs against U.S. allies in Europe and North America, he is subverting previously agreed-upon trade pacts. The result is a brewing trade war with Canada, Mexico and Europe, which are expressing shock and bitter frustration while enacting tariffs of their own on a bevy of American products.”
________________
Trump Spends More on Mar-a-Lago Than Mueller on Probe
“President Trump has spent more in taxpayer dollars on his frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida than Robert Mueller’s office has spent on the Russia investigation so far, despite Trump’s attacks on the high cost of the Russia probe,” The Hill reports.
“The president has repeatedly attacked the Mueller probe for racking up millions of dollars in expenditures after the Justice Department reported this week that the special counsel’s office had spent roughly $16.7 million… But that number is dwarfed by the amount required to pay for the president’s numerous trips to the ‘Winter White House,’ which The Washington Post and Politico analyses have estimated to cost taxpayers on average between $1 and $3 million dollars per trip.”
_____________________
Trump’s Lawyers Argue He Can Stop Mueller Probe
“President Trump’s lawyers have for months quietly waged a campaign to keep the special counsel from trying to force him to answer questions in the investigation into whether he obstructed justice, asserting that he cannot be compelled to testify and arguing in a confidential letter that he could not possibly have committed obstruction because he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations,” the New York Times reports.
“In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter — sent to the special counsel, Robert Mueller III and obtained by The New York Times — contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.
“Mr. Trump’s lawyers fear that if he answers questions, either voluntarily or in front of a grand jury, he risks exposing himself to accusations of lying to investigators, a potential crime or impeachable offense.”
Trump: ‘Fake News CNN Is Dead’
The data was released Wednesday and comes from the Nielsen Media Research Center, which shows Fox News reaching 2.38 million primetime viewers in May while competitors MSNBC and CNN trailed far behind.
CNN reached just 835,000 viewers by comparison. CNN and MSNBC also experienced drops in their number of total day viewers compared to previous months.
Has Trump already 'won' with his North Korea gambit?
Even putting denuclearization on the table makes Kim a loser. By showing up and talking denuclearization at all, Kim accepts the basic US premise of a new relationship; normalization and a lifting of sanctions will only be possible if Kim gives up his nukes.
How is this not a win? Whatever gains in stature Kim gets from his Trump meeting will be more than negated by his humiliating climb down from his government's long stated demand that any talks be predicated on the fact that North Korea will not give up its nukes.
Tired of winning yet?

To own the libs, or to not own the libs, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sit and take the abuse
The slinged insults and the pointed ire of outrageous liberals,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubled contradictions...
Few Americans are able to pick up a book by Adam Smith and learns the ins and outs of a free society overnight. Thanks to decades of Hollywood and academia propagating liberal cultural assumptions, many can't begin to think about society in any other way.
The first step to conversion is often shocking a person into questioning his own presumptions. The hard task of teaching comes next. Perhaps the method could be called "troll first, teach next."
DOWN GOES OBAMA
I am not arguing against that the only way that the President can be removed from office is through impeachment.
This President is arguing that he is above the law. He can't be subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury under any circumstances. And that short of impeachment he is invulnerable.
He can direct every agency under the executive branch to do as he directed.
You have been claiming that the Obama administration directly ordered the governmental agencies to attack Trump's campaign in favor of Clinton. Your argument is that the Obama administration had the right to intervene in favor of Clinton and in doing so you are justifying that any President has the authority to do just as you claim at any time.
You are contradicting yourself.
I don't think that any President should have that much authority. But you think that any President is actually able to do anything fucking wants to do short of impeachment.
I know I'm repeating myself but this is a big fucking problem.
Obama is a private citizen and if he acted as you claim he did, he was doing just the same thing you believe that Trump can do without any restrictions short of impeachment.
A lot to process (ha!) Replies to MSNBC hiring Ben ‘Obama Bro’ Rhodes will have you in STITCHES
MSNBC hired Ben Rhodes? Man, we already thought he worked for them.
Who knew?
It’ll be a serious stretch for the Obama Bro, but we have faith he can continue to make a pretzel out of himself to defend and protect Obama’s legacy. At this point, the Left really should give the man a gold medal for his mental gymnastics efforts.
A FAKE NEWS NETWORK
Your argument is that the Obama administration had the right to intervene in favor of Clinton and in doing so you are justifying that any President has the authority to do just as you claim at any time.
No, the remedy for Obama would have been impeachment. The remedy for Susan Rice, Samantha Power, and Hillary Clinton are long jail times.
There's no contradiction.
Absent that, the penalty is political in that the Democrats can not be trusted with power.
Ever.
Obama is a private citizen and if he acted as you claim he did, he was doing just the same thing you believe that Trump can do without any restrictions short of impeachment.
Ordering an illegal action such as spying on American citizens for political purposes is quite different than firing your FBI director.
The former is a criminal act, the latter is a legitimate exercise of executive authority.
Obama as private citizen can very well be indicted. (It's the reason why Ford pardon Nixon.)
Trump as president can only be impeached. As private citizen he could be indicted but discharging his duties as president does not qualify.
The President is reversing the economic policies that the Republicans have stranded for since Reagan. If we go into a trade war with our allies think of 1929.

Trump is asking the FBI to internally investigate whether or not the FBI acted within all of the guidelines, rules, and regulations in doing so.

there's wrong, and then there's fucking alky wrong:
The Federalist Era was a period in American history from roughly 1789-1801 when the Federalist Party was dominant in American politics. This period saw the adoption of the United States Constitution and the expansion of the federal government. In addition, the era saw the growth of a strong nationalistic government under the control of the Federalist Party. Among the most important events of this period were the foreign entanglements between France and Great Britain, the assertion of a strong centralized federal government, and the creation of political parties. The First Party System of the United States featured the Federalist Party and the Democratic- Republican Party (also known as the Anti-Federalist Party)
Republicans, or the Democratic-Republican Party, was founded in 1792 by Jefferson and James Madison. The party was created in order to oppose the policies of Hamilton and the Federalist Party. In contrast to the Federalists, the Republican supported a strict construction interpretation of the Constitution, and denounced many of Hamilton’s proposals (especially the national bank) as unconstitutional. The party promoted states’ rights and the primacy of the yeoman farmer over bankers, industrialists, merchants, and other monied interests. The party supported states’ rights as a measure against the tyrannical nature of a large centralized government that they feared the Federal government could have easily become. It would be Jefferson and the Republican Party that would replace the Federalist Party domination of politics following the election of 1800.
Political Parties from 1800–1824
The First Party System refers to political party system existing in the United States between roughly 1792 and 1824.
The First Party System is a model of American politics used by political scientists and historians to periodize the political party system existing in the United States between roughly 1792 and 1824. Rising out of the Federalist v. Anti-Federalist debates, it featured two national parties competing for control of the presidency, Congress, and the states: the Federalist Party, created largely by Alexander Hamilton, and the rival Democratic-Republican Party formed by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. The Federalists were dominant until 1800, and the Republicans were dominant after 1800.
In an analysis of the contemporary party system, Jefferson wrote on Feb. 12, 1798: “Two political Sects have arisen within the US, the one believing that the executive is the branch of our government which the most needs support; the other, that like the analogous branch in the English Government, it is already too strong for the republican parts of the Constitution; and therefore in equivocal cases they incline to the legislative powers: the former of these are called federalists, sometimes aristocrats or monocrats, and sometimes tories, after the corresponding sect in the English Government of exactly the same definition: the latter are stiled republicans, whigs, jacobins, anarchists, disorganizers, etc. these terms are in familiar use with most persons. ”

Not yet. The economy is growing rapidly and that is going to help the Republicans in this off year election. But probably less effective at this point in time because outside the Republican party is the Trump Party.
The house will change hands, the Senate will remain under Republican control.
President Trump 'probably does' have the power to pardon himself: Giuliani
Yes and No. Trump can't pardon himself from impeachment. That's explically forbidden by the constitution.
Feb. 12, 1798: “Two political Sects have arisen within the US.
Note the date when Jefferson wrote that. This was after the establishment of the United States as a sovereign nation.
The Federalist Era was a period in American history from roughly 1789-1801 when the Federalist Party was dominant in American politics.
Again you are not making your case because this was all after the establishment of the government of the independent government of the United States.

that might have been true six months ago, until the blue wave slowed to a trickle of blue piss.
Right now articles of impeachment will never make it out of the house and there will never be a 2/3 majority to convict.
Like I said you need a consensus on the country to impeach and convict.
There's a heavy political price to pay for the party that impeaches without that consensus.
Just ask the Republicans.
Note the date when Jefferson wrote that.
i did. and it was roughly six years AFTER the establishment of the parties in 1792.
you're an idiot, alky. a stubborn idiot in the grip of invincible ignorance.
The invincible ignorance fallacy[1] is a deductive fallacy of circularity where the person in question simply refuses to believe the argument, ignoring any evidence given. It is not so much a fallacious tactic in argument as it is a refusal to argue in the proper sense of the word, the method instead being to either make assertions with no consideration of objections or to simply dismiss objections by calling them excuses, conjecture, etc. or saying that they are proof of nothing; all without actually demonstrating how the objection fit these terms (see ad lapidem fallacy).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_ignorance_fallacy
Right now articles of impeachment will never make it out of the house and there will never be a 2/3 majority to convict.
articles cannot even be drafted until there are documented 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'
i challenge the alky to produce a single thing that rises to that level.
Again you are not making your case because this was all after the establishment of the government
No. The argument over the size and scope of the federal government has been going on since independence was declared on July 4, 1776.
It is the defining argument on which the political parties were formed and is the defining argument for the parties today.
Roger claimed the founding Fathers didn’t like political parties, yet the were founding parties. Now he shifts to a timeline
The founders did not anticipate political parties.
