umm, Lock him up?

[garhkal]

I suspect he may throw one hissy fit too many (probably over something some random stranger says on Twitter) go way over the top in his reaction and is it the Senate or Congress? impeach him to effectively end his presidency.

They've literally just been talking about him on breakfast TV and some guest they had on (a historian I think) said "never underestimate the power of congress to get rid of their president".

And what rule of law would they use to impeach him for something he says in his twitter feed?

Yo momma's so fat and old when God said, "Let there be light," he asked your mother to move out of the way.

Yo mamma's so ugly even a vampire won't want to kiss her!

Your punishment is to watch Colbert, Trevor Noah and Sam Bee for a month, that way you will have a good understanding between Satire, Truth and Fake news.

We'll get America to pay for it, we're foreigners

We will be banned first.

Hey, is that what Melania did to Michelle's Speech?

Well, I can't speak to how they might feel about how the changes will impact their nations; I don't live there and know the local circumstances.

According to someone who knows these things -- there won't be much of an impact, barely registering if there is.

On a global scale, however, ... We're already seeing the impact.

But I think they will be positive for the US, or at least for a large segment of the population that has been screwed over for quite some time.

So list is a positive thing for the US?

Step 1
-- discredit the media

Step 2
-- silence scientists and government employees

Step 3
-- end civil liberties and give "law and order" as the cause

Step 4
-- wealthy supporters purchase media outlets, employ only those faithful to the ruling party

Step 5
-- unify the country by restoring traditional values, declare minorities inferior

Comments anyone?

Trump gives Stephen Bannon National Security Council role

"In one of three executive actions Saturday, President Trump reshuffled the National Security Council to include his chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, and limited the roles of the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff."

Presidential Memorandum Organization of the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council

Go ahead, Annoyed -- tell us why this is positive for the US?

[jelgate]

Limiting the Joint Chiefs scares me the most out of that statement

One of the best signs I've seen -- lots more but this one definitely taking a large portion of the cake.

so basically when someone with no real power (secretary of state) has a private mail server the Trumpeters cry treason but when the world's most powerful person has a private mail server it's good because...Patriotism™?
