Extra legally? Trump is head of the DoJ. He’s the chief executive. He can legally throw people in jail. He has that power and he demonstrated willingness and desire to use it.He doesn’t get to promise to throw people in jail. That’s not his place. That’s not the place of any president.The “deep state” is what protects us from corrupt politicians. Trump’s policy of get me re-elected and go after my political enemies is exactly the kind of shit that we rely on the “deep state” to defend us from. Where would we be if Nixon’s “deep state” hadn’t stood up to his corruption?The “deep state” is how Trump vilified people who don’t bend to his corrupt desires.Nah, he has the whole deep state to do his dirty work for him.
We owe those people our thanks for standing up to him and not leading us down the pathway of a failed state with weak institutions.
But thanks for admitting you lied about Dems doing the same thing. Biden isn’t.
The Deep State is bureaucracy that believe themselves to be the new nobility, not the civil SERVANTS they are supposed to be. People who think THEY should DECIDE policy, not the person we elected to do so.
They were nothing more than malfunctioning cogs that should have been replaced.
It's amazing how idiots like you desire to be ruled by un-elected bureaucrats.
Of course it's not a surprising mentality amongst communists and socialists.
Trump would have ruined our country if it operated as you want it to. Fortunately we are a nation of laws and not men.
Please show me where that function is listed in the constitution. The Constitution has no role for them in protecting us from anything, that is left to the checks and balances between the branches, not to the functioning cogs of the executive branch.
it's amazing how you want to give up your rights and freedoms to unaccountable people, it's actually fucking pathetic.
Please show me where in the constitution the president is made a king that can force his subjects to do as he pleases.
No one is giving up any rights and freedoms to the “deep state” and they’re way more accountable than Trump.
The president is not all powerful. If he wants to use the government as a corrupt weapon, he’s going to have to convince some people to help him. Thank god those people love our country more than you and your cult leader.
Doing what he promised to the people who voted for him is not "acting like a King". Biden has done FAR more EO's, and not just ones overriding Trump's than any other President in the time allotted, and yet you have zero issue with that.
When unelected bureaucrats have the power you want them to have, and civil service protections to boot, you get a nobility class, similar to the ones that ran the Ancien Regime in France, or Russia under the Romanovs, and we know how well those situations ended.
The President is supposed to be checked by the courts and congress, not is own branch, and certainly not those there to implement policies decided by the President under the laws passed by congress and adjudicated by the courts.
Jesus Christ, what kind of shithole do you want to turn us into?
So he said he was going to extra-legally send people to throw them in jail? Why didn't he follow through?
You want to turn the federal government into an unaccountable mass of pencil pushers, and you bitch about what I want to turn the country into?
You are willing to turn the government into dictatorship as long as it got rid of Trump, and then you wonder why we think you will come after us next.
What stopped him? Those pencil pushers refused to follow his corrupt desires.
Answer this. If Trump demanded the FBI arrest Biden and charge him with murder on the morning of January 20th, should have they obeyed his order because they are unthinking cogs?
