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?

No, he's referring to what Q, I mean Trump, will do. There's always a menacing "plan" right around the corner.

But yeah, the Water Cooler is significantly less insane now. Please don't draw him back in.

So they were just kidding about that Trump's a dictator thing.

I definitely remember the democrats storming the capital when the election didn't go their way, or when they lose in a landslide to threaten a civil war. Yep, those damn democrats who haven't been in power for 2 years. Got it!

You missed the other federal buildings they've been trying to assault instead, particularly in Seattle.

Aside from being funny as hell, this is exactly right.

Young voters think gay and trans stuff is just...life.

They don't want it to be too much of the plot because there are lots of other important issues (Dems' mistake with woke) AND they don't want to marginalize LGBTQ folks (what too many Pubs mistakenly thought 2024 meant).

When Pubs really took a Tommy Tuberville "Dems are trans-ing your kids" hard right the last six months down the campaign stretch, it was totally obvious how that would play with the youth, and the answer is, quite poorly.

lol…. You know what a person with $10,000 in their 401 (k) cares about? Government safety nets to help them provide for necessities that they will not be able to afford on their own. Are you ready to demand that the ultra rich pay a higher share of their income in taxes to help meet these needs, without plunging the nation into higher debt.

An lol about your pivot to demanding immediate action on affordability. Don't fret though. I'm sure the demas will be immediately drafting legislation to undo Trump's tariffs, Trump's war on Iran, and Trump's cuts to the healthcare safety net. You know, the policies that have been eating up people's budgets because groceries cost more, gas costs more and healthcare costs more.

Perhaps that will allow the fed to ease interest raise and unfreeze the housing market. Then we can be right where we were 2 years ago before Trump cam in and broke it all.



Just to be clear, you are saying the economy was go in 2023?

Heck, I heard there was not going to be a mid term election because Martial Law and something Trump.

Lol, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. January 6th was just a casual stroll through the Capitol. Trump didn't spend the last two years with Stephen Miller behind the scenes trying to transition America into a strong man government while you guys jerked yourselves into a frenzy. Trump definitely didn't just fling everything he could at the wall trying to subvert this election.

Man, the constant gaslighting from you guys is next level. Just because Trump epically fails at something completely treasonous doesn't mean you get to hit the history eraser button and pretend it never happened.


jAnUarY 6…nEvEry fOURgeTT's


YOU were one of the head moron's claiming there would be no midterm elections.

Actually, here's the head moron in October hinting at shutting down the midterms:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/10/01/trump-national-emergency-midterm-elections/92036013007/

Here he is back in May saying "when you think of it, we shouldn't even have midterms":
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/five-takeaways-reuters-interview-president-trump-2026-01-15/

There are many others. Hope that helps!

Would you like me to give you a catalogue of all of the ways Trump and his corrupt "Justice" Department tried to attack state sovereignty and subvert the elections? It's about a mile long.

Trump didn't "allow" anything. State governments and the judiciary were strong enough to repel him, and it turns out there weren't as many corrupt MAGA ass holes in the state election apparatus as people feared.

Seems like a hilarious reboot of the Four Seasons Landscaping cluster.

Unfortunately for comedy, sounds like UFC Dana has declined the offer.

The idea that his grip on the party is cracking comes with several caveats. First, he never had a grip on self-servers such as Tillis, Cornyn, and Collins, who've been dead set against his use of tariffs and a lot of other things as well, and these are likely the yes votes on the GOP side. Second, the resolution, as voted on, isn't going to alter the tariffs unless the vote somehow made Trump see the light and reverses them himself.

Of the many dozens of things that I love about the message sent to political leaders Tuesday, the reappearance of modern Blue Dogs may be the tip top.

We need moderate centrism in both parties being an electable and even attractive stance in this country rather than candidates trying to out-extreme each other.

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.

It should please Gulf that Dems are already getting good traction just three days in on amending Trump's economic illiteracy, amirite comrades?!?


The idea that his grip on the party is cracking comes with several caveats. First, he never had a grip on self-servers such as Tillis, Cornyn, and Collins, who've been dead set against his use of tariffs and a lot of other things as well, and these are likely the yes votes on the GOP side. Second, the resolution, as voted on, isn't going to alter the tariffs unless the vote somehow made Trump see the light and reverses them himself.

Is that readers context on the above X post relevant to the conversation?

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.

Donald Trump's attack on the constitution with 70 cited sources


are you even reading my post? Your intellect is coming across as Juvenile.

Also, I love when people quote articles like this. Now, they may be correct; however, I typically like to understand their leanings.


The American Constitution Society is led by a network of prominent progressive legal scholars, former government officials, and practicing attorneys. Because it is a membership organization of thousands of lawyers and students rather than a centralized committee, its "leading members" are best understood through its executive leadership and its Board of Directors. [1, 2]

Executive Leadership
  • Phil Brest (President): Took office as the President of ACS. He is a highly influential figure in modern judicial politics, having previously served as White House Senior Counsel under the Biden administration, where he directed the confirmation of 235 federal judges. Prior to that, he was Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senator Dick Durbin on the Senate Judiciary Committee, overseeing the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. [1]
  • Ambassador Keith M. Harper (Board Chair): The retired U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council and a prominent human rights and Native American rights attorney. [1, 2]
  • Michele Goodwin (Board Chair-Elect): A renowned constitutional law professor at Georgetown Law School and the Executive Director of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law. [1, 2, 3]
Prominent Board Members
The national Board of Directors features highly visible legal practitioners, former prosecutors, and academic voices who help steer the organization's strategy. Notable members include: [1]
  • Barbara McQuade: Former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, law professor at the University of Michigan, and a prominent legal commentator on national television networks.
  • Joyce Vance: Former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, legal scholar, and co-host of popular legal analysis podcasts.
  • Brendan V. Johnson: Former U.S. Attorney for the District of South Dakota.
  • Roscoe Jones Jr.: A prominent attorney, former Dean of the Drake University Law School, and immediate past Chair of the ACS Board. [1, 2]
Notable Past Leaders
  • Russ Feingold: The former progressive Democratic U.S. Senator from Wisconsin served as the president of the ACS from 2020 until late 2025. [1]
  • Caroline Fredrickson: A prominent legal advocate and author who served as the group's president for a decade (20092019), shaping much of its modern infrastructure. [1]

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. Not because of the context or accuracy of the article, but your ad hominem attack based on assumed bias against the contributors.

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.
