      It's an important legal precedent that is entirely in Trump's favor.

        So you like crooked people in the federal bureaucracy doing anything and everything to try to find a duly-elected president in violation of any sort of charge that the feds can think up of -- just to slow the president down from doing the constitutionally proper will of the people?

        That position is rather scary.

          No, actually what is very scary, and I think something that most of us didn't recognize before Trumps election, is that there are so many blind, easily led people, like yourself out there for wannabe dictators like Trump to take advantage of in conning them out of their democracy, in turning them against the very democratic institutions that insure their freedom from such despots. Btw, Trump isn't King, he doesn't get to do what you believe to be the will of the people. We have three equal branches of government, not a King, and as far as the will of the people goes, 3 million more of them voted against Trump, and over 8 million more of them voted against republicans in the recent mid terms in which Trump said, "remember a vote for the republicans is a vote for me". So, he lost the majority of the people by a long shot, not once but twice. So much for the will of the people.

            You are mixing up Hillary with Trump -- that is scarier than anything you posted before.

            How on earth did you come to esteem Trump as a king or dictator?

              When Trump won, liberal heads everywhere went *POP* and they never recovered.

                  Trump won with a little help from his friends, but it is his head that is going "POP" at present and those of his family. Not to mention the ever increasing raft of Trump advisers who have been convicted or are about to be.

                    It's sad to see the things from which you draw comfort.

                        Wait til you see what I'm getting for Christmas:

                        "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                        "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
                        "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                            Somehow this all reminded me of Erich Honecker, GDR head of state, who made this claim about the Berlin Wall: "The Wall will be standing in 50 and even in 100 years, if the reasons for it are not removed." He made the claim in January 19, 1989. Anyone remember what happened later that year? But then again, let's not assume that people shouting: "Build that wall!" learned way too much from history.
                            "Yes. President Trump is a huge embarrassment. And it’s an embarrassment to evangelical Christianity that there appear to be so many who will celebrate precisely the aspects that I see Biblically as most lamentable and embarrassing." Southern Baptist leader Albert Mohler Jr.
