MAGA = TREASON (1 Viewer)

I'm fully aware that Lincoln and FDR violated the Constitution. They were in a frickin war.

Doesn't matter. Our rights don't disappear in times of war. As we write the US is fighting in at least three wars: yemen, somalia, and syria. I guess that means we just give up our rights to Trump, correct?
 
Whatever FDR did or didn't do or say, tRump is still a fake president who confessed to the nation that he doesn't know if he has to follow the Constitution which is just another one of his lies. His goal is to use his arsenal of lawyers to find ways around the dictates of that document and thank goodness that collectively they're too dumb to achieve all of tRump's goals. Were it not for the courts stopping some of his illegal and unconstitutional behavior, our gooses would be fully cooked rather than half-cooked as they are now. tRump is a traitor as is anyone who supports him.

You're too deceptive to post my full reply.

Another deceptive false equivalence whataboutism? You haven't solved the first! You want someone to believe that the piddling Annie wars you mentioned had the same grave threat and urgency as the Civil War or WWII?

How many soldiers died in Battle yesterday? Zero? Yeah , you're intending to decieve.

FDR never said that , and I was proved right, there's already a post from a fellow member who thinks FDR said that!
 
Ok, let's see some evidence that he regretted it. I couldn't find any, but you're making the assertion, you back it up.
Even FDR critic J E Smith acknowledged it;

Forty years later another Congress awarded each surviving detainee an additional $20,000. Though Roosevelt said he later regretted “the burdens of evacuation and detention which military necessity imposed on these people,” he showed no concern when he signed the measure on February 19.

Jean Edward Smith, FDR (Random House, 2007), 549-552
 
CNN reports, "The odds that President Donald Trump’s controversial nominee to serve as US attorney for Washington, DC, reaches confirmation are rapidly diminishing as he faces public pushback from a key Republican on Capitol Hill.

"North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, a GOP swing vote, informed the White House on Monday he would not support the president’s nominee, Ed Martin, for the job.

"Tillis, who serves on the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee responsible for advancing Martin to a full Senate vote, also met with Martin Monday. Given the narrow margins on the panel, Tillis’ opposition could be enough to derail his nomination.

"The White House insists it is standing by Martin, with the president personally lobbying lawmakers to support him. If the nomination were to fail, it would stand as a significant blow to the administration and a rare instance of congressional Republicans breaking with the president over a high-profile pick.

"Last week, Tillis told CNN he has “serious questions” about the nomination, given Martin’s previous comments denigrating police officers who defended the US Capitol during the January 6, 2021, attack.

“Most of my concerns are related to January 6, and he built a compelling case on some of the 15, 12 prosecutions that were probably heat of the moment bad decisions,” he said Tuesday, adding: “Where we probably have a difference is I think anybody that breached the perimeter should have been in prison for some period of time.”

Note: NPR reports, "On his first day in office, President Donald Trump granted clemency to every person charged or convicted for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, even those convicted of violently assaulting police officers.
 
This is nothing short of unbelievable. Trump is not a well man!

This incredulous order come from the President.

The Times reports, "President Trump abruptly announced on Tuesday that the United States would cease bombing the Houthi militia after he said the Iranian-backed group told the United States that “they don’t want to fight anymore.”

“They just don’t want to fight,” Mr. Trump said during a meeting with the Canadian prime minister in the Oval Office. “And we will honor that and we will stop the bombings. They have capitulated, but more importantly, we will take their word. They say they will not be blowing up ships anymore.”

"After Mr. Trump’s remarks, Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior Houthi politician, said that if the United States halted its attacks on Yemen, the Houthis would halt their attacks on American military fleets and interests.”

"However, Mr. Al-Bukhaiti said the Houthis would continue military operations “in support of Gaza” until Israel lifts its siege on the enclave, “no matter the sacrifices, even if we have to fight until Judgment Day.”

Unbelievable!


Putin loves Trump's job performance.

Republicans will not respond. What can they say?
 
He's certainly not the first president to feel this way.

That ^^^ is just another version of WHAT ABOUT.

OK, let me get this straight. As long as someone else was wrong it is perfectly fine for everyone who follows as President to also ignore and disrespect the Constitution.

When I raised my children they often used the same childish logic. If a brother or sister did it (whatever it was) wrong everyone else can do it too. I didn't use nor did I accept that argument from them. Wrong is wrong.

Of course not.

But when a president commits the worst US civil rights violation of the 20th century, you don't call him "the greatest president ever", while at the same time condemning Trump for doing something mild in comparison.

It's wild that you think that was the worst civil rights violation of the 20th century and not the millions of black Americans suffering under Jim Crow.

I agree, it can be difficult to determine which Democrats did the most harm to minority groups in American history. In my opinion, being openly discriminated against is better than being put in a concentration camp, so FDR is the "winner", but I can understand if you see it otherwise.

Why do you think Southern conservatives hated non-whites so much?

As I expect you are aware, the Democrats of today would not agree with what the Democrats of that time did.
 
Trump has loose lips and deferred to his lawyers and the SCOTUS on the subject of illegal immigrants, both appropriate and in context. Additionally, Trump isn't the first POTUS to deport illegals, you only have to go as far as Biden.

"Yes, the U.S. Constitution applies to undocumented immigrants, meaning they are also entitled to its protections. This includes rights like due process, equal protection under the law, and freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures.

While undocumented immigrants have constitutional rights, they may not have the same rights as U.S. citizens in all areas. For example, undocumented immigrants do not have the right to vote or hold public office. Also, their presence in the country is considered a privilege rather than a right, and can be revoked under certain circumstances."

I classify gang members and criminals as certain circumstances. Course a liberal wouldn't, unless otherwise instructed by their masters, or in other terms, whatever Trump does is going to generate TDS, as orchestrated by left-speak.

Trump had ZERO authority to deny those individuals due process.

You can think what you will, but he was wrong.

He's already lost in court.

Moreover, gang members are still entitled to due process. Your thoughts on that are irrelevant.

Also... use of the phrase, "TDS" automatically disqualifies your post.

We are assisting with these three countries. Congress declares war. We are not in a declared war with any country presently. Notably not the one, (Venezuela), that Trump is using the AEA illegally to deport gang members.

And while we're at it, what's your excuse for Trump violating the numerous rights of law firms with his illegal and unconstitutional EOs trying to extort them out of free representation.

I sure wish we could find a list all in one place documenting every time Trump has violated his oath and trashed the constitution. He does it so often, it's very hard to keep track.
 
I think its just the opposite
While you're here, I wanted to ask you if FDR actually said what's quoted in the meme posted by our fellow member.?

I doubt it - I didn't research it though

But taken out of context, anyone can say anything can't they ?

Context matters

Thanks for the reply, I'm glad you doubt it because he never said that.
