Rudy and Republicans say the President has absolute power [View all]

to pardon everyone including himself and he can fire anybody he wants because he has wide ranging immunity.

So why did our founding fathers insist that we don’t have royalty? Why did the Boston Tea Party dump the royal tea in 1773? They weren’t doing it because they didn’t like tea. They did it to object to and reject King George as our king.

And if they had wanted our country to have kings, why would they only allow a maximum of 8 years for the Presidency, or for people to have a vote, or to have the Executive have only one third of the power.

These are questions deep into Duh territory so why are people actually debating this shit. It seems to be all I’m hearing on MSNBC today. Trump people like Giuliani and Republican Congesspeople are completely supine, pretending they aren’t noticing, or outright supportive of this idea.

What the fuck!
