Ehemaliger Trump-Anwalt: „Die Verfassung ist nicht ausreichend, um mit einem so bösen Präsidenten wie Trump umzugehen“

I think it is but it requires that „good men“ not be indifferent

The framers of the constitution never imagined the people would elect a president so manifestly unsuited to the job. Maybe the framers imagined that voters would generally be educated and well informed and incapable of being so badly hoodwinked.

If I had a time machine, I would go back and show them a few hours of Fox News.

I say, I say I say now, this President heah is a swindler!

Exactly. We’re going to need Constitutional amendments to prevent this in the future.

The Constitution is perfectly well designed to handle a corrupt president—but the framers didn’t imagine that Congress would be complicit. The problem is that our system cannot handle a corrupt party.

Nothing to do with the constitution. The problem is that all three branches of government are complicit.

It’s really the inevitable downfall of a two party system.

Thank you Aloysius Pennywhistle or whatever your name probably is

Yeah that’s like blaming the instruction manual. Absolutely bullshit, dead on arrival argument. The problem isn’t the constitution. No. The problem is that our representatives have all willingly removed their balls/ovaries, placed them in a golden bucket, and then gave them to a conman to put in a drawer of the Resolute desk.

Yeah and you helped him you scumbag, so sick of allowing revisionist history.

It would be, but it’s not adequate to deal with an entire evil party that takes control of all branches of government. And I don’t know what the answer would be for that

Or as corrupt as 6 members of SCOTUS

Three do equal branches would work if the other two stepped up and fulfilled their responsibilities as congress is just starting to do with the epstien matter

The problem here, as it so often is, is that he’s focused on trump. Donald trump is not the architect of this. trump’s evilness is not the driving force of America’s fascist decline. 

This precarious moment in our history was specifically engineered over the course of decades by dedicated villains from the right wing establishment. Federalist society, heritage foundation, owners of the media oligopoly, tracing their roots all the way back to the John Birch society, the kkk, the know nothings. Destroying American democracy has motivated right wing politics for at least a century. 

They’ve played the long game. trump is just their tool: grover norquist’s perfect *idiot with a pen*.

I disagree. The Constitution is up to the task. It’s Congress that needs to take the power. Congress advises and consents on everything. They control all of the money. They could literally give him a daily allowance financially and tell him how it’s going to be. There is nothing that says a president makes much of any decision without Congress being good with it. We are a Republic. The power and representation is to be with the public and the Congress is our representation. The President is to be the daily secretary for Congress. If he breaks on law that could be as simple as not ensuring the money gets distributed as Congress mandated, he can be fired.

Money – used as Congress says.

Military – have to go to Congress for military actions

Judicial – Congress signs off.

There is no reason our common understanding of the President needs to be tolerated. Toss his ass out on the street.

Haha. It is, but Congress and the SCOTUS would have to be free of team Trump’s influence. It was a calculated plan, years in the making.

We need to do what the Germans have done after Hitler. There is a psychological cheat code for humans which allows them to be frightened and polarized and terrorized into terrible acts. The Germans have made it illegal to use right wing hate speech. We need to do that ourselves.
