Exactly. Let's stop making **** up to try and be partisan.
lol
down trodden 401(k) owners is such a stretch, even for you.
Not all 401k's are the same. Would you turn down a 401 with a measly $10,000? I wouldn't and sometimes that's all people have.
I thought you cared about other people?
You were number 3 behind only the Pope and the good Lord, respectively.
Doggone it…
Will you join me in demanding our newly elected officials keep their campaign promises to fix this affordability crisis, quickly?
I need to check the manual, but I'm pretty sure the proto-fascists who just had their fantasy civil war dashed on the rocks by wide swaths of America in humiliating fashion don't get to demand anything.
Brother dearest…I'll give you a war you'll never forget
Please believe that
To be clear, you would wage a war against American citizens because they have a different political opinion than you?
I don't know any people that would, in my circles...
I think the most important thing all of us should consider... The No Kings protest fall really hollow now that our republic just had an election. A King wouldn't have allowed that to happen, right?
lol. That's the most important thing we should consider? The title of peaceful protests around the country that led to zero rioting or looting of any kind? Not exactly a great example
Those peaceful protest were showing the ignorance of the protesters. No Kings…. It was so misguided and the election proved it. As I said, a king wouldn't have allowed them to happen, right?
Trump didn't "allow" the midterms. The Constitution and federal law require them. The issue isn't whether Trump permits elections. It's whether a president respects the constitutional limits on his power which Trump has shown time and time again that he clearly does not.
Surely, you can see the "No Kings" moniker as a metaphor as it was intended and not take it literal as a "gotcha" after midterm voting. If not, I question whether you believe you're the actual King of Cary…
I never said Trump wouldn't allow the midterms; rather, the rhetoric of your ilk suggested it with the No Kings protest. Anybody with a half a brain realizes we are republic with a constitution; therefore, we do not have a King, unlike your ilk suggested.
Now, your juvenile suggestion that I think I'm the actual King of Cary is so telling. BTW, born and still live in Cary and my last name is King. So, please don't be a popinjay…
Finally, if you really respected the constitution you would demand that every bill passed by congress site the power vested in it for said bill. Also, you would call out those bills, very much like I do, when those bills are passed. I do it frequently about Republicans. Heck, I created a thread calling out Republicans for their pathetic ways. Will you do it about the Democratic Party?
My hunch is that you cried when the Supreme Court invalidate Roe V Wade. That invalidation essentially said that this Republic operated in a manner based on a ruling as opposed to passing a law. You know, the constitutional way it should have been done. In that case, the Federal government didn't have a power vested in it for that issue and should be left to the States. That's what the court said, essentially.
When you want to really discuss constitutional powers, let's meet for lunch and have a real discussion as opposed to this pathetic thread. Will you do it?
Sorry my dig struck a chord, Mr King. I was merely responding to your dig claiming the No Kings protest was supposed to literally claim Trump was a king and the ineptitude of the protestors to believe it as such. Do you believe that Trump respected the constitutional checks on his presidency?
Again, your response comes across as juvenile. Your comment didn't strike a chord with me.
My comments about the No Kings protest weren't intended as a dig. Rather, they were an observation about the perceived ineptitude (your word, not mine) that people who share your ideology, I'm assuming, seemed to buy into hook, line, and sinker. Perhaps you didn't, but based on my observations, plenty of others did.
As for whether Trump respected constitutional checks and balances, I think you're asking the wrong question. The more relevant question is whether Trump ultimately respected the legal challenges and court rulings that placed limits on his authority. He may not have liked those decisions, but he did comply with them.
And let's not pretend Trump is the only president who has pushed the boundaries of executive authority. Presidents from both parties have done so. None of them particularly enjoys being told "no," and most will continue pushing the envelope of what you or I might consider a constitutional overreach.
Remember Biden's student loan forgiveness efforts?
Now, I'd encourage you to go back, read the final paragraph of my original post, and actually answer the question I asked.
You're sounding juvenile with your claim that, anecdotally, you think the protesters believed he was a literal king. There's plenty of anecdotal videos of Trump supporters being interviewed looking like they can't put sentences together.
I agree that other presidents have overstepped their checks and that is a problem that has crept from President to President, but Trump just bulldozed through it. Someone else posted a list but you nitpick it and choose what you want to believe.
If we're holding each other accountable now, I believe you owe me a list of Muslim mayors in major cities in England (besides Khan in London, whom you did not claim to have any problems with) before I'll answer your questions.
Again, you choose to ignore my question. Why? Because you can't handle the conversation…. Well, that's my opinion.
Regarding Muslim Mayors, well… look it up. Khan, obviously is the big one; however, this is an easy look-up for you…
Current
Lutfur Rahman (Mayor of Tower Hamlets)
Recent
Yasmine Dar - Lord Mayor of Manchester (2023-2024)
Lubna Arshad - Lord Mayor of Oxford (2023-2024)
Nazma Rahman - Mayor of Camden (2023-2024)
Tafheen Sharif - Civic Mayor of Tameside (2023-2024)
Thanks for providing a list, although, I don't think it supports your fear mongering Muslim takeover claim: "Really, all you need to do is look at England, I believe all their major cities now have a Muslim as the mayor." You said you didn't have a problem with Khan, only one of those other cities are "major", and only one other (a borough of London) is current…
As for your invitation, I will respectfully decline. I have zero interest in discussing constitutional legality over lunch. Does that discredit anything I've posted?
You declining doesn't discredit anything; however, it speaks volumes about you. Ask Hokie…. He and I had lunch and enjoyed ourselves.
Why is it always personal with y'all? Glad you had a good lunch but hokie's character is constantly attacked about his motivations from multiple posters. I don't want to invite that on myself on this "pathetic board".
You do well enough assigning beliefs, motivations, and past actions on me without knowing me at all, anyway
The distraction worked though, here we are discussing my character instead of you answering if you believe Trump respected the constitutional checks on his presidency?
It's truly not personal for me. I think that is a disingenuous comment.
I agree with you that I've called you out and that's the reason I asked to have a sit down for lunch. Now, I understand as well if that's not a doable thing; however, I think meeting a person, without the keyboard, provides us the ability to find out we are all ok people.
Regarding the Constitutional checks... I think I did answer that. Every President pushes the boundary of their powers. Sometimes, a petition comes to the courts and we get a ruling. So, when that has happened to Trump, I'm not sure I know of an example where he didn't comply. Additionally, I used an example by Biden whereas he was given a ruling on Student Loan forgiveness. What did he do? well, he kept pushing the forgiveness in another way. I think those were challenged as well.
My point is that every President doesn't like to be told "no". By the very nature of them running for President should tell you they have a strong ego and/or love power. So, why would anyone condemn Trump? To appease a liberal? Ya, that's probably not going to happen as we endured Democrats doing the very same thing without anyone from the Left getting themselves in a tizzy...
I forgot to respond to your fear-mongering claim about Muslim's. My point was really about the change in the English culture because of all the immigration they have allowed. The change in leadership has shown that it is changing the very fabric of what England represents. So, yes, I am a Nationalist. I believe that to be something all country's should strive for...
