The Donald Trump Score Card

If they did nothing wrong they will be found innocent

 

After thousands of dollars in legal fees

 

thats what counter suits are for

 

glad you are finally coming around

 

The coarse triumphalism of the Trumpsters,

His support is shallow in Republican ranks, and Congress and the courts will reign him in, just as they did Mr. Obama.

We dont need Democrats who are the age of The Rolling Stones.

How about Corey Booker from New Jersey.

He fought and beat an entrenched machine in Newark politics

He had a good tenure as a reform Mayor of Newark, NJ; now he is our Senator.

He rushed into a burning building and saved somebodys life.

He browbeat Jefferson Bearegard Sessions in his hearings for confirmation

 

thought this was interesting and had me questioning snopes bias

He just joined the Republicans and voted against importing cheaper medicine from Canada. Everyone pretty much hates him now.

 

So the media that criticises Trump is the ‘opposition’ and should ‘shut up’.

Using things that have happened in the US in the past to see what could happen in the future [part 2]

American Sedition Acts

The first Sedition act of 1798

“This act seemed to directly violate the First Amendment. Yet, it was enforced. Ten Americans were put in prison for utterances against the government, and every member of the Supreme Court in 1798-1800, sitting as an appellate judge, held it constitutional.

There was a legal basis for this, one known to legal experts, but not to the ordinary American, who would read the First Amendment and feel confident that he or she was protected in the exercise of free speech. That basis has been explained by historian Leonard Levy. Levy points out that it was generally understood (not in the population, but in higher circles) that, despite the First Amendment, the British common law of "seditious libel" still ruled in America. This meant that while the government could not exercise "prior restraint"-that is, prevent an utterance or publication in advance-it could legally punish the speaker or writer afterward. Thus, Congress has a convenient legal basis for the laws it has enacted since that time, making certain kinds of speech a crime. And, since punishment after the fact is an excellent deterrent to the exercise of free expression, the claim of "no prior restraint" itself is destroyed.

This leaves the First Amendment much less than the stone wall of protection it seems at first glance.

(page 100 – A Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn)

Oh and I believe the Sedition Act of 1798 has never been repealed.

The second Sedition Act of 1918

It covered a broader range of offenses but notably any expression of opinion that cast the government in a negative light. One man got a seven year sentence for saying that wartime food regulations in force at the time were, in his words, "a joke."

I suppose the first warning that the Trump Admin thought this way would be to constantly attack the media call them liars and call the oppositions and threaten that if they don’t shut up….

Hey just a minute…

 

I love me some pie

 

:unsure:

I saw about this last night , and wondered were they executed?...and why?
What is Putin's and trump's ultimate goal here?
It is scary.

OOPS, wrong post...i was referrring to post #883.

 

Like I was saying, we're dealing with some serious cognitive dissonance

I've also noticed executive orders are fine for Trump but meant Obama was trying to be a dictator

 

reminds me of lie witness news from the jimmy kimmel show. you can get people from either side to look like idiots.
