Jimmy Carter Is Saying Out Loud What We All Know: Trump Is An Illegitimate President
>
Thursday former President Jimmy Carter and former Vice President Walter Mondale, were in Leesburg Virginia for an event hosted by presidential scholar Jon Meacham on human rights. Carter responded to a question by Meacham by pointing out what politicians are too scared to address, namely that a full investigation “would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016… He was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.”
Mondale didn’t go quite that far, simply noting that Trump’s “got something deep in him that is detestable, citing “his rhetoric, his harshness, his divisiveness… Doctors tell me they think they recognize symptoms of psychological problems.”
Carter also said that “every day we send a terrible signal” with border policy, “a disgrace to the United States, and I hope it will soon be ended. Maybe not until the 2020 election.”
Meanwhile Trump is at a G20 meeting in Japan, sniffing Putin’s asshole. They were seated next to each other at dinner when a reporter asked Trump if he would tell "the Russian president to not meddle in the election." Trump, without looking at Putin, responded, "Of course I will. Don't meddle in the election, president. Don't meddle in the election." Ha, ha… big funny! And… the illegitimate "president" lashed out from the summit. "He’s a nice man. He was a terrible president," said Trumpanzee at a press conference. "He’s been trashed within his own party. He’s been trashed… Everybody now understands that I won not because of Russia, not because of anyone but myself. I went out and campaigned better, smarter, harder than Hillary Clinton." The use of the word "everybody" is a typical example of Trumpian gas-lighting, a technique he uses to manipulate his base of 2-digit IQ supporters.
At the second Democratic debate, Bernie said he doesn’t support packing the Supreme Court but brought up the idea of rotating judges off the Supreme Court. I had never heard of that before and wasn’t sure what it meant but it doesn’t sound particularly constitutional to me. I like the idea of just saying, "look, Trump wasn’t elected; he was put in the White House by Russia. He was an illegitimate president so everything he did was illegitimate. Let’s start with Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and work our way down."

So what? Is anyone DOING anything about removing Trump from a position he shouldn't have?
HELL NO!
The constitution delineates several antidemocratic strictures on our elections and government.
The government, antidemocratic but still according to the founders' design, refuses to enforce laws, such as they are, nor take voting seriously. It's idiotic, but it still is not "illegitimate".
Voters will have had 20 opportunities since 1980 to remedy the Nazi gooning of what 230 million americans would understand as the founders' intent, yet have NEVER made any attempt to do shit.
Democracy is supposed to be government of/by/for the governed. When the governed refuse to self-govern in any way that benefits themselves... for 2 FUCKING GENERATIONS... who the fuck can say the result is "illegitimate". We get what we deserve because we demanded it!
The lesson is simply that when an electorate is dumber than chlorophyll-based life forms, democracies can never be any good. What was it P.T. Barnum once famously said? He misunderestimated.
you cannot fix a broken democracy by electing the same parties that broke it in perpetuity. Einstein told us what our problem is. But, again, we're far too stupid...
I was actually shocked that cheney did not declare one of those "emergencies" and then martial law over the 2008 crash. He had the dick-tatership in the crosshairs and he demurred. Certainly the imbecile bush would have not had any support to get in his way. The congress, cabinet and DHS would have welcomed a strongman in charge that would have negated the delaying of the democraps (just delaying, no actual doing). They could have suspended the election indefinitely.
Maybe they were afraid of a race war since obamanation was the democrap candidate. silly Nazis. we would have been no worse off with dick-tater cheney than with wall street's boy.
But 8 more years of refusing to enforce laws and the constitution... and now we have a guy who really WANTS to be the fuhrer. All he has to do is make the declaration. 40 million southern white racists will all surround DC in their pickups and hummers with all their guns and ammo to make sure he feels at home.
when this happens, you all need to write Pelosi and say thanks. And you should all remind those rednecks in their cammo outfits to thank Pelosi too. If Pelosi had done her job in 2006 through now, none of this may have happened.
We are here because of the democraps, harriet reid, scummer, obamanation, Pelosi, hoyer, brazille, dws, the clintons and a cast of hundreds more. We elected them all iteratively and they did what we demanded they do (or we surely would have UNelected them, no?).
Fuck we're stupid!
In too many cases, the Party itself prevented the election of better candidates for office. They are openly following that same path this election not caring in the slightest that people can see what they are up to.
This does not absolve We the People from failing to do our duty as voters, but we can't ignore how the Party itself made things more difficult to do so.
Yes, we're stupid - and we WILL pay for that willful ignorance.
2:02, you realize the truth. If you, then, still vote for democraps, your last sentence describes yourself.
Why would a sentient being actually vote FOR someone or a party they know to be pure shit?
I wonder what took Carter this long.
