Then Trump should be sued and the Supreme Court should get involved. That's how a Constitutional Democracy works.

You didn't read the excerpt I copied and pasted, did you?If there was a crime committed by the Trump Administration when funding the parade, then someone should file a lawsuit. You know the Dems are not shy about filing a suit through one of the slanted Federal judges ready to attack Trump.

If the Opposition believes Trump violated "federal regulations" then we should be seeing another lawsuit filed, right?You didn't read the excerpt I copied and pasted, did you?
...Federal regulations prohibit the use of public office for the private gain of officeholders or their friends, relatives or nongovernmental affiliates, said Richard W. Painter, who served as the chief ethics lawyer in the White House Counsel’s Office under President George W. Bush.
“The parade is being used for advertising by these entities with close business ties to the president,” Mr. Painter said in an interview. “You’re in a situation where the U.S. government has been used to endorse a product.”
If he had been Mr. Trump’s chief ethics lawyer, he added, he would have not wanted the sponsorships at all. Such an arrangement would be acceptable only if the companies were to pay for the entire event, Mr. Painter said, allowing the government to host the celebration without paying any tax dollars. The military parade was estimated to cost up to $45 million...

If you're comfortable with the Chief Executive's apparent violation of "Federal regulations", all you have to do is say so.
So you are concluding that all is lost because you believe "the Chief Executive is failing to enforce/follow laws and judicial rulings."Pyrite said:

Post #301
Right here you tacitly acknowledge you are comfortable with the President's failure to enforce/follow laws and judicial rulings.
Btw, you've conveniently ignored the critical bit about the President's ignoring judicial rulings.

We are a nation of laws. If Trump broke a law, he can be sued.
I'm not disputing the comment. I do have a related comment someone may be able to clear up for me.Not many showed up to do so...
nopeMany from the thread have strongly implied he shouldn't have that right.
Why did this make sense to you? did you think it was funny?Better yet, find a Burger King. A better use of your time.
It's not supposed to be funny.That's not funny.
The better question is, why aren't you doing something about it? Why do you defend a man who would subvert the Constitution, something he swore to uphold, if only he could get away with it?Well, go ahead and do something about. Start a campaign to help the hapless Democrats take back the House so that rabid anti-Trumpers can earn their government salaries by drawing up impeachment documents against Trump in 2027. Gives them something to do to focus on instead of seeing a Senator from California rush into a Kristi Noem conference begging to get some attention.

He would subvert the Constitution if he could.When Trump does something good, like stop illegal immigration at the southern border which Biden was incapable of doing, then I will acknowledge that.
I think you are admitting Trump would subvert the Constitution "if only he could get away with it".
SO, based on what you wrote, he hasn't subverted anything yet. He is pushing the envelope of presidential power. Everyone knows that. All you're doing is simply stating the obvious.
It is sad there are so many anti-Trumpers who want the duly elected president to fail while we are faced with a number of foreign threats from powerful foreign adversaries. But that appears to be par for the course with so many ankle biters who swarm here wanting to see the president demeaned and heckled as he tries to do his job.
Limp, even?And back to reality, that TACO tickler's crowd numbers have been severely lowered.
And I would win the state lottery If I could.He would subvert the Constitution if he could.
You are okay with that.
So now you're saying you would cheat to win the lottery if you could get away with it?And I would win the state lottery If I could.
Give us more hypotheticals showing us what Trump would do if he could.
That's an appropriate waste of time for anti-Trumpers who have nothing better to do than throw rocks at the duly elected president.
He is not picky about his choice of "great American food."I thought king taco preferred McD's.
WASHINGTON—The silver platters were the same used at every special White House event, but Monday evening they offered something different: burgers, pizza and fries.
“Many, many French fries,” said President Trump, standing by candlelit tables piled with McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King and Domino’s Pizza. “It’s all good stuff, great American food."
He was hosting the Clemson University national football champions—and trying to score a political point.
glitz and gloop
Nothing I wrote indicated I would or could cheat to win the lottery. Just like Trump becoming president, I would win the lottery fair and square if I picked the right numbers.So now you're saying you would cheat to win the lottery if you could get away with it?
Did you swear an oath to protect the lottery? Donald swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution.
You have conceded Donald has tried to subvert the Constitution. And here you are defending him with "BUH BUH BUH HE DIDN'T GET AWAY WITH IT SO IT'S ALL GOOD!"
In all seriousness - WTH has Trump done to American conservatives that they meekly shrug at that?
Did you, or did you not concede that Donald made an attempt to violate the Constitution?Nothing I wrote indicated I would or could cheat to win the lottery. Just like Trump becoming president, I would win the lottery fair and square if I picked the right numbers.
I swore an oath decades ago to defend the Constitution and obey military law. Has Trump been convicted of violating the Constitution? Or have you already convened your kangaroo court and declared him guilty because you said so?
You think it's my call to determine if Trump violated the Constitution? Don't we have various levels of jurisdiction to determine that?Did you, or did you not concede that Donald made an attempt to violate the Constitution?
Forget your talismans of "he didn't get away with it," and "he was duly elected." Did he attempt to break his oath?
Has Trump been convicted of violating the Constitution? Or have you already convened your kangaroo court and declared him guilty because you said so?
Which SCOTUS ruling was that?FFS, yes!
When SCOTUS rules he has violated the constitution, that's what that means.
There's no trial or conviction, there are rulings and court orders.
Which SCOTUS ruling was that?
And did Trump defy that ruling?
The Trump Administration did "facilitate" Garcia's release from El Salvador. He is back in the U.S.now.Keep those goal post warmed up, you might need to move them again. He's NOT ALLOWED to defy court order, is he?
There are plenty of examples, but here's one that's pretty straight-forward.
