People were upset Trump didnt tell them what to do. Now they are upset that Trump is telling them what to do. Brilliant!

So, when he declares "absolute authority" it just doesn't affect you. And besides, every president does it. Right?

For the one millionth time, no one has agreed with him. When/if he tries to act with "absolute authority", then it will really affect me. Until then, still just an idiotic incorrect statement.

Medicaid and Obamacare are unrelated?

You asked me to give you an example of a president trying to sway states/ governors to his views using federal funds .. did I do that ?

withhold unrelatedfunding as a means to coerce state governments as a means of making their power subservient to the presidency?

Of the president threatening to withhold state funds unless a governor adopts a president’s order.

@terrypedigo will have to agree with him before he stops whining. Unsure of the outcome in all honesty.

Great poster. Hope football season happens so I can read his run on posts. They are awesome.

My bad I didn’t see the Unrelated funds . So as long as Trump uses unrelated funds it will be normal ?

That wasn't the President doing it, it was congress passing a law.

Frickin lawyers man . They are like trying to grab jello

Can a president place a "stay at home" order on a national level, if he can't lift it and reopen it?

This was 5 years ago. The topics and specifics are striking:

Then why didn't he replenish supplies used during H1N1?

I'm sorry, I must have missed your earlier condemnations. Feel free to restate them.

So, are Trump and Pence unique in their declarations of this "absolute authority"? Does this make Trump better or worse than presidents before him. Should this be a consideration for those choosing presidential candidates?

 

[vols40]

Don't conflate your life with mine. I wake up happy and in relative control of my life.

Cowering in fear begging the government to tell you what to do and when to do it is not = happy just to be clear

 

[Stew Cook]

Is this how it looks in your reality?

I'm sure you like it when a president berates journalists asking questions. You are part of the problem, Franklin.

Fake cartoon.

My understanding as well is that the video shown yesterday at the press conference was produced at taxpayer expense.

So Trump used taxpayer money to produce a campaign ad then used a press conference on the virus to show it. At worst it was a taxpayer funded campaign ploy. At absolute best, it was his out of control ego yet again incapable of accepting criticism. Either way, it was a clear abuse of the office and so-called conservatives should be outraged that he used tax dollars in this manner.

Presidents use the office to campaign for the next election all the time. Most of us have figured that out by now. This is nothing new

 

[lawgator1]

Did it?

"could have" works for reasonable doubt but not in this case.

We could play "could have" all day with many, many things and in the end it would prove what? Nothing.

It proves that Trump used taxpayer dollars to fund a campaign ad, then shown to start a press conference. Its wrong.

End of the world? No. But emblematic of the hypocrisy and poor judgment shown by Trump on a daily basis at this point.

Trump was wrong. People can consider whatever they want in the next election. Neither choice is a good one.

A good consideration would be saying no to a candidate with dementia no matter what the party tells you.

Since I don't do that, my original thought remains. You can't think clearly for yourself Vols40, so stop trying to think for other people.

What say ye, state's rights advocates?

Do they... how many use press briefings to debut their videos?

I may have missed those, so feel free to share.
