Just call me Abbie Hoffman Jr. ...Just so I don’t have to keep typing Constitution...I will designate a C instead. This thread is me channeling my inner RTO.
The point I was trying to make last night with a tweet I copied is there is precedent set in the judiciary to circumvent this election by removing Donald Trump because of adjoining himself with espionage against our country with the aid of a foreign power...The tweet is here and article is here…As you notice the article is from last night.
I know there are different circumstances involved but the main point still exists within the framework of the law. There are constitutional problems...I know this and several people ( who I love dearly)think that it’s a no go becasue it will throw us into chaos and destroy the C...Not so as long as it is done within the framework of the C and anyway the Republicans have been circumventing and subverting the C every time they open their mouths or try to fight laws they don’t believe in or don’t want to see enacted...Even laws that are already in place.
This is a short look at the Republican views as they pertain to the C and their ways in just the last 8 years they’ve paid no attention to our C.
This is the first paragraph from some “gods of poop” site i found...I won’t link it as you really don’t want to read their bullshit...trust me...
“We are the party of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The Declaration sets forth the fundamental precepts of American government: That God bestows certain inalienable rights on every individual, thus producing human equality; that government exists first and foremost to protect those inalienable rights; that man-made law must be consistent with God-given, natural rights; and that if God-given, natural, inalienable rights come in conflict with government, court, or human-granted rights, God-given, natural, inalienable rights always prevail”.
Sounds like after reading this( my interpretation) God created the United States and his rights given to citizens prevail over the rights given in the C when the Republicans deem it applicable.
The Republicans views as they see them as it pertains to Unconstitutional actions by them.
Abortion? Well, we disagree with it, so we can try to violate the Constitutionally protected right a woman has over her own body.
The Affordable Care Act? Well, we disagree with it, so it’s okay to try and ignore that Constitutionally upheld law.
Religion in public school? Well, we think our country was founded on Christianity (even though the word Christianity doesn’t appear even once in our Constitution), so it’s okay to ignore the First Amendment and force religion (as long as it’s the Christian religion) into our public schools.
Freedom for all? Well, not if you’re homosexual. Then we’ll continue to violate the First Amendment by supporting laws that define marriage as between a man and a woman. A belief that’s based on the Christian Bible—a belief of which millions of Christians don’t even support.
Conservatives don’t like that minorities often don’t vote for their party, so it’s acceptable to try and change our Fourteenth Amendment and the Constitutional definition of what constitutes an American citizen.
Certain demographics don’t vote for us, so let’s find ways to make it harder for them to vote. Similar to poll taxes or tests once used to discourage certain voters from voting.
The worst part is, deep down they really think “Constitutional values” means a nation ruled by theocracy (a theocracy built on their perversion of Christianity), denying women’s rights, opposing gay rights, changing the definition of what it is to be an American citizen and a country where gun rights are more important than human rights. Sadly, they’re just becoming more and more extreme on these issues, and that’s a slap to the face of our Constitution and our country as a whole.

All I am saying in regards to our C and the problems we are facing going forward is that the C is already just a piece of paper circumvented at every turn by the Republicans and the C is something that the Republicans want to change or ignore as they see fit and if anyone denies my claims they are either hiding behind the C as a patriotic American and which I really have no problem with or they are wearing blinders.
For us to move forward as free and patriotic we are going to have to bend the C becasue the Republicans have already broken it in so many ways it not worth the paper it’s written on.
Another thought just came to mind...Merrick Garland...Is what the Republicans have done concerning the Supreme Court, Constitutional?
Look...I respect the Constitution as much as anyone but for us to stay a sovereign nation with laws and assurances of freedom we can’t keep trying to pussyfoot around with the Republicans...As for chaos ensuing I say chaos is already upon us…
If you don’t think espionage against our country with a person running for the highest office isn’t chaos I don’t know what to say to you.
One final point on this and I’ll shut up...If anyone thinks the chaos will be any greater by trying to usurp Donald Trump from the White House ,by any means imaginable, then it will be when he takes office then you need to get a collection of his tweets, a list of his cabinet appointees and the policies they want to kill and the ineffectiveness of governing of a normal Republican administration vs. his administration and take a good long look at what chaos will really look like once he, god forbid, takes office.
Well, enough of my Abbie Hoffman impersonation…Yea...it’s tweet time...
This really really scares me becasue he’s setting himself up to break us apart by limiting the internet...This is just another way for Trump to circumvent the 1st amendment which I am sure he’s got more in store along these lines. If we give in to him here then he’ll keep chipping away until we have no freedom of speech at all.
It’s about damn time any of these fools agreed with PBO on something, anything. Lindsey Graham might actually be a human being.
Well, another one bites the dust...Sing it Freddie…Trump is most likely running as fast as he can from this...Oh I forgot...He’s stupid... So he’s probably already tweeting it’s another CT via the Democrats...Oh the irony!
I’m going to close this morning with this monologue which is the best synopsis IMHO of what this election is and has meant to us all...In fact it’s brilliant in its simplicity and brutal in its truthfulness.
This Village is a place for Democrats willing to work together to resist the coming days, months and years. We are all friends here but ask others to join us in uniting against a common enemy otherwise know as Orange Hitler and his depressing gang of morons. We need to get cracking on coming together as we will always be Stronger Together. Whichever way the party decides to go we here at Dkos won’t really have a say in it so trying to bludgeon each other over slights needs to stop.
Please refrain from dredging up the primaries and please no demonizing of Hillary Clinton or you will be met with pushback and we will attempt to not demonize Bernie Sanders.
Just to make it clear...This is Not a safe space.
TGIF...Have a great day and weekend….enjoy yourself commenting and thanks.
