We Are No Longer a Nation of Laws

[signalmankenneth]

What happens when the president disobeys the law, and tries to get others to disobey the law?

I don’t give a damn about the plight of outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. I don’t believe in hell, but if there is one, there must be a special section reserved for those who implement cruel policies, but leak to the media about how they’ve tried to make them less cruel (Jared and Ivanka Kushner will be sharing a suite there with Nielsen).

Nielsen wants us to know she would not go along with breaking the law to promote Trump’s vicious and destructive border policies. But in fact, she helped him break many laws; she just wanted to stop getting caught. It should also be said that despite her spin, she went into her fateful meeting with Trump Sunday night determined to keep her job; he demanded her resignation. So spare me her attempts to depict herself as some kind of whistle-blower, now calling the president “unhinged—as though he’d ever been “hinged,” especially in the four years since he began his racist run for president. Reportedly, she also thought Santa Monica storm trooper Stephen Miller “was an egomaniacal lunatic who hated brown people.” Tell us something we didn’t know, Kirstjen.

And we aren’t a nation of men either.

Well, if you got an Attorney General who actually thinks a sitting President can't be indited, meaning basically he is above the law, I guess it depends on who you got interpreting the law

This here is the trifecta of stupid.

He will just get someone in there that will break the law for him.....

He said he was the law & order candidate, he didn't say whose laws
