We tried to warn them, but they just wouldn't listen.
That woooooooshing noise you hear is the truth passing over your head.

So as not to imply its fake news, here is a report from the Independent who cite Fox News, have a great day.
Donald Trump slams 'archaic' US constitution that is 'really bad' for the country | The Independent
Many of the rules for the Congress come from that piece of paper.
I would've gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that pesky Constitution!

No biggie? Ah the free pass
Yeah, no biggie. I complain about the system, others have as well. Local politicians have. No biggie unless you make it one.
From an article discussiong The Patriot Act:
GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the Patriot Act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”
“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
I’ve talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution “a goddamned piece of paper.”

as far as Obama is concerned, he was also a POS as POTUS ................... his only saving grace was he had the ability to speak well, he had a real brain, and he at least acted presidential, none of which Don Cheeto could claim ..........
Um, if it's a living document, then it isn't outdated.Liberals in general do not complain about the system of checks and balances. Furthemore, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES shows contempt for the basic functioning of a democracy, it's very concerningIs this where Liberals say that The Constitution isn't a "living document" and that is inflexible and isn't "outdated"?

And many others are long established rules of Constitutional Law.
You conjured up conflicting statements that nobody would put together. You're basically just name calling and creating straw men to distract from the fact that Trump is saying the sort of things that a dictator would say.I never said it is. That's what the Libbos keep screaming.
There is nothing liberal or conservative about the basic functions of the branches of government. What are you even talking about?Liberals have no idea what "checks and balances" means.

When I heard about what Trump said today I immediately thought back to this incident with Dubya.
Yes, could you explain how that is relevant to keeping one branch of government from becoming too powerful?Do you agree with having an electoral college?
There was no "incident with Dubya";
Q: Did President Bush call the Constitution a “goddamned piece of paper”?
A: Extremely unlikely. The Web site that reported those words has a history of quoting phony sources and retracting bogus stories.
FULL ANSWER
The report that Bush “screamed” those words at Republican congressional leaders in November 2005 is unsubstantiated, to put it charitably.
We judge that the odds that the report is accurate hover near zero. It comes from Capitol Hill Blue, a Web site that has a history of relying on phony sources, retracting stories and apologizing to its readers.
Update, Feb. 21, 2011: The author of the Capitol Hill Blue story has now withdrawn it. Doug Thompson messaged us to say:
Bush: The Constitution a 'Goddamned Piece of Paper'? - FactCheck.org
This "piece of paper" story was retracted in 2011 and TOTALLY unsubstantiated before that.
Y'all really, really need to catch up.
I know it was never confirmed. But tell me, honestly, do you really think Dubya respected the Constitution?
The question is, what is that Bush did that unconstitutional ??
How do you reconcile a "conservative" saying that the Consitution is "bad for the country"?

I know of no such statement. Illuminate me ??
Cites please were other Presidents have publically came on record as stating the checks and balances are archaic.
Donald Trump has no respect for the Constitution. Gee, color me shocked.
Obama called it a charter of negative liberties, does that count ??
