No need to worry. Nope. None at all. We’ll all be totally fine. Yeah. Fine…
He’s not POTUS, he’s SCROTUS (so-called ruler of the United States).
The Trump supporters I know are ignoring his deeds. I think it is a defense mechanism. If they pay attention they’ll have to admit their error.
Trump’s chief policy adviser says the president’s power ‘will not be questioned’ by the courts Hello authoritarianism. Lindsay Gibbs https://thinkprogress.org/trumps-chief-policy-advisor-says-the-president-s-power-will-not-be-questioned-by-the-courts-c87252a07a7e#.fd85ohvs7 Senior White House Policy Adviser Stephen Miller raised plenty of eyebrows on Sunday as the perused the talk-show circuit talking about cases of voter fraud (that don’t exist) and Steve Bannon’s lack of involvement in drafting executive orders (which, according to most reports, is the exact opposite of the truth). But perhaps his most alarming statement was in reference to the federal judges in Washington rejecting President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban. “I think that it’s been an important reminder to all Americans that we have a judiciary that has taken far too much power and become in many cases a supreme branch of government," Miller told John Dickerson of CBS News, as first noted by Will Saletan of Slate. “The end result of this, though, is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see, as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned." Miller’s boss was, unsurprisingly, watching his performance, and gave the 31-year-old rave reviews.@realDonaldTrump Congratulations Stephen Miller- on representing me this morning on the various Sunday morning shows. Great job!
The White House is essentially gaslighting the public. And the idiot rubes and hateful bastards that support Trump just run with it because they all live the same world of alternative facts as Trump.
And Darron, I’ve always loved the term SCROTUS. And not just because it sounds like scrotum. It’s just so apropos. Bannon is the true POTUS after all.
