Does the president have too much power?
« on: December 12, 2018, 10:31:03 PM »
 :MLA: :hitler:

Thoughts? After our current leader I think so. Somebody needs to snip some of the President's powers
Joe Arpaio comes to mind. The man was a criminal but was pardoned,  :laugh:

Either way, this whole fiasco has me thinking yeah. I mean Executive orders, protections, proclamations, hell. He is in charge of the armed forces ffs.

One man or woman should not weild so much power.

Yes. He shouldn't be allowed to speak or tweet.

I think they should be forced to submit to a mental evaluation before running. They do a physical and results are made public, mental is just as important if not more so...it's a high stress position, the public should know if they might not be up to the task or lack basic self control before they hand them the nuke codes.

I think taxes should be made public or subject to independent review no matter how "complicated" they may be.

...and don't get me started on the subject of nepotism... and the separation of church and state. Wall? Build one between the latter and keep the evangelists out of the oval office meetings.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

You can not challenge President Obama!  Nothing he ever did was completely wrong.

/snarkasm



But, yeah, some of his pardons did fill in the gaps in his messages.

Honestly, I am just glad that they seem to have quit calling Trump  "The Donald."

To me "The Donald"  wears a sailor uniform, keeps his bill shiny and speaks with a richly defined quackcent.

If we give him enough power will he electrocute himself?

MOST of O'Bombem's pardons were a partial attempt to correct a problem Congress just dealt with.

He (like all presidents) had politically motivated ones though.

(Nickle Bag Joe) Arpaio (trust me - I lived under his jurisdiction) should have been indicted on murder charges, as
well as other far uglier things. He was in league with the Atrocious General of the state in a scheme to
intimidate federal judges, among other things. This was just what they could easily prove on him.

The man cost his county a fortune in Civil lawsuits, due to his administration of inmates.

Speaks better too. And would be more qualified to run this country.
