He is Our President and we should support Him!

[struggle4progress]

Well, it has been yet another busy time for deep thinking down here at the diner, so of course that is what we have all been doing, as you could have expected

Everyone here is very happy that that fake and completely unfair investigation has found that Our Great President is totally innocent of colliding with Russia, and now the President has told us even the Russians say so, which is good news for just about everyone who worried about going to jail!

So now Our President can finally concentrate on his being-president job, which looks like it could take hours of his time every week, what with his trying to keep horsey-racing fair and awarding medals to his business partners and making sure that everybody gets angry if our good nazis can't say whatever they want whenever they want

Here at the diner, we think it's lots of fun whenever Our President can make the stock market bobble up and down like the head of the plastic dashboard jesus, just by threatening to impose new tariffs or to go to war in Venezutina

But (we are asking) does he deserve two extra years as President for free, now that the unfair bogus investigation found he did nothing wrong? On the one hand, you could think of all that time he had to spend away from Twittering during that. And on the other hand, there is all that time he could have been playing golf or promoting one of his businesses, and instead he was distracted by the thought of being dragged out of The White House into the streets by angry mobs. And then, on the third hand, well, you get the picture. So some say yes and some say maybe and then some just look at you like you are crazy. And who can say who is right?

1. What is funny not so funny is that there are folks who really think this way....

President Trump on Sunday retweeted a post from Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. that said Trump’s first term should be extended by two years as payback "for time stolen by this corrupt failed coup."

[PJMcK]

6. Yeah, because the Constitution

Have these idiots ever read the document?

[pazzyanne]

25. Most do not/ have not read the Constitution.

The only part they really pay attention to is the 2nd Amendment, don'tchaknow.

[sop]

31. You mean just the second half of the Second Amendment

They ignore the first half, the part about "A well regulated Militia."

[pazzyanne]

32. Oh, they give lip service to it, just no thought to what they are saying.

I have a gun-humping nephew that post unbelievable stuff all the time. Any thinking person would have second thoughts. Guess I shouldn't be surprised as he is the son of my trump cult sister.

[Scarsdale]

7. Deduct the time

spent golfing, flying to Florida, holding his cheering crowds at rallies while he spouts nonsense. I think HE owes US that time when we could have had a REAL president. Falwell, the religious (?) guy who loans young pool boys millions of $$$ to start businesses??? Time to investigate these millionaire "preachers" who support a known adulterer, liar and criminal. Graham is another one who needs to be investigated.

4. Nice thread S4P,

Time to take a double dose of soma.

[Siwsan]

5. My cousin chastised me, reminding me I had taken an oath to defend the POTUS when I enlisted

and I am violating that oath every time I post something against trump*.



I informed her that I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, and obey the President of the United States. I'm pretty sure that "obey" part applied to the POTUS in office, at the time. I've been out of the Navy for quite a while, but apparently she thinks her misunderstanding of that oath should follow me to the grave.

I should have reminded her that she took an oath, before her God and her family, to love, honor and cherish, until death did them part, the man who is now her ex-husband.

[marble falls]

17. Bingo! I remember "lawful orders of the President of the United States" in my oath ...

whether it was there or just implied.

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. Yes, I would think Nuremberg Nazi trials would have settled that pesky "lawful" question.

[marble falls]

29. Its a bad thing how few of us remember Nuremberg and what it did in setting personal ...

responsibility as the yard stick for any actions by the state.

[The Genealogist]

8. Funny how we are supposed to support this joke of a presiddmt

But it was perfectly fine to shit all over Obama for 8 years, even for the color of suits he wore and the mustard he chose.

[Ohioboy]

11. Yes

Well said

[Cosmocat]

9. Says the fuckwit that made his political bones championing the "birther movement"

that this country indulges this kind of shit is indicative of the fact that HE is not the problem ...

[Ohioboy]

10. I run into this kind of thinking all the time

That's why I come here to DU, to get a dose of sanity and fun every so often.

[get the red out]

13. Me too!

Life for me down here in Kentucky too.

[pazzyanne]

26. As did I!

[walkingman]

12. Fuck Trump - he is just a blowhard.

[Thomas Hurt]

14. they don't belive that, just more gaslighting from the right.

[marble falls]

15. Down there at the DeNile Cafe, again?

[spanone]

16. He's shit and we should wipe him off our shoes.

[jrthin]

18. Well said! nt

[Sherman A1]

19. I believe that TR had a quote about this very issue.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president... is morally treasonable to the American public. Theodore Roosevelt

[usaf-vet]

20. I would like to take this time to remind EVERYONE who has ever taken a military enlistment oath.

Your oath, like mine was to:

"Support and Defend the CONSTITUTION against ALL enemies FOREIGN and DOMESTIC"

If we all would remember and honor that oath we wouldn't have the grifter in the white house for long.
The grifter in the white house gives deference to the Russians over all of our intelligence warnings.
A foreign and domestic enemy all embodied in the same grifter.

NOTHING in the oath is more important than the DEFENSE of the CONSTITUTION.

[atreides1]

23. That was the oath I took!

And I know that people always bring up this part, which follows:"...and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me,"!

But they conveniently forget the last part:"...according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice."!

[usaf-vet]

28. Absolutely dead on right!

The military laws and regulations. The U.C.M.J.

[samnsara]

22. i can definately say that those who say to support this illegal president....are wrong.

....im no Rhodes scholar but my mama taught me right from wrong and this presidency is just wrong.

[pazzyanne]

24. When I read the title of this thread, I just

. HE. IS. NOT. MY PRESIDENT!!! HE. IS. NOT. MY PRESIDENT!!! HE. IS. NOT. MY PRESIDENT!!!

[Aristus]

27. How many years does Hillary Clinton get back?

Until they can answer that to my satisfaction, they can kiss my ass...

[locks]

30. When I was reading the Washpost this morning

about our Dear Leader wanting reparations I thought I had opened the Onion by mistake.

[SpankMe]

33. Great little commentary! Thanks, S4P! n/t

[empedocles]

34. falwell planted by traitortrump operatives/

[Brawndo]

35. Sure, he can have two more years

right after they give back 8 years to Obama for opposing everything he did and when they give back the stolen SC seat. Then he can have his two years back.

[MineralMan]

36. I will be happy to support him by providing housing and food at a federal prison.

I will gladly pay my taxes to support that. But that's the only support I'm willing to offer.
