Only jackwagon conspiracy theory nutters think like that.
According to the Constitution, they serve at the pleasure of the President. Maybe in your liberal pinko commie version of the country, it works the other way.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostActually it's more prosaic than an "evil spirit". As many have previously noted, Trump suffers from a Narcissistic Personality Disorder and he should not be in a position of power.

How’s the accountability going?
If you make exceptions because he is on your team, then you are part of the problem. Do you think that your civic duty is to be his base?Last edited by firstfloor; 02-08-2020, 03:57 AM.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Originally posted by firstfloor View PostThis needs a little thought -
what is the difference between a business owner and the POTUS? The people give the POTUS a great deal of power to use of their behalf.
The public demand proofs that the executive will not abuse that power or act against the country’s interest.

Originally posted by JimL View PostOh, he knows all right, Guys like MM don't concern themselves with things like facts or truth though, they'll go with whatever rationalization they can come up with if it suits their purpose at the time. If it were Obama instead of Trump you can bet MM, and republicans in general, would be screaming "Impeach him, Impeach him, ABUSE OF POWER.
And vice versa. If it was Obama instead of Trump, you would be saying 'he's done nothing wrong'.
You're so obviously completely partisan that you aren't even slightly credible. Doesn't matter that you can point to the partisanship of posters on the other side, they're not credible either.
Want people to take you even slightly seriously? Be just a little objective. Back up your claims with evidence (something you're notorious for NOT doing), and be willing to admit when you're wrong....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

I heard this morning, Joe Walsh saying that some members of Trump’s base, believe that never lies and he has never played golf since becoming President. He explains why they follow him. Every day’s a learning day.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
