Trump poised to violate Constitution his first day in office, George W. Bush’s ethics lawyer says

Mexico is going to LOVE Donald Trump for returning so many hard working people back to their homeland. It's a beautiful thing. Mexico will flourish with the addition of that incredible work force.

It's disgusting that the USA has been stealing Mexican labor for decades. The racism has got to stop. We are using brown people as slaves and it's disgusting.

The liberal elites are worried about losing their housekeepers.

Your role model knows better than that. He is only deporting convicted illegals which we are already doing under obama. He is not doing any mass deportation.
Again try to be honest. Almost all Americans are taking advantage of these cheap labors provided by illegals.
 
Now, this is interesting.

In an exclusive exchange with ThinkProgress, Richard Painter, a University of Minnesota law professor who previously served as chief ethics counsel to President George W. Bush, says that Trump’s efforts to do business with these diplomats is at odds with a provision of the Constitution intended to prevent foreign states from effectively buying influence with federal officials.

The Constitution’s “Emoluments Clause,” provides that “no person holding any office of profit or trust under” the United States “shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”

The diplomats’ efforts in seek Trump’s favor by staying in his hotel “looks like a gift,” Painter told ThinkProgress in an email, and thus is the very kind of favor the Constitution seeks to prevent.

To explain, the ordinary rule under the Emoluments Clause is that federal officials may do business with foreign governments so long as they do not receive special treatment. If the president owns a $200,000 Rolls Royce, Painter told ThinkProgress, they can sell that car to the Queen of England, so long as they only receive its fair market value. If Her Majesty The Queen pays $250,000 for the Rolls Royce, however, that would violate the Emoluments Clause.

Trump is in SERIOUS legal trouble.
The Constitution isn't welcome in the Trumpisphere.
Remember that anyone that brought that dangerous item into his rallies was thrown out.

Remember that bloke from Republicans Against Trump that was wrestled to the ground by the Secret Service at one of his last rallies when someone shouted..."He's got a copy of The Constitution!"
In fact, all he had was a sign but there was genuine terror for a while.

Dear idb
Then he will surely get impeached.
There are teams of Constitutionalists who would much rather have Pence.

If I were Trump I would listen to my pastors who should advise STRONGLY in no uncertain terms
to respect civil authority in order to continue with God's favor in following God's will.

Going against the laws isn't going in the same direction as God.

If his pastors don't tell him that, they need to be put aside, not the Constitution!
 
Impeachment? Say. No. More!

Leftist butthurt? Check!

Dear Zoom-boing
No, impeachment from the RIGHT

The authority to enforce the Constitution comes from people who follow it.
If the left is too busy bypassing it, they are in the same boat as Trump!
 
....Almost all Americans are taking advantage of these cheap labors provided by illegals.
Please both clarify and back up that statement. Sure, some Americans are getting rich off illegals since it amounts to indentured servitude. Thanks for admitting that Democrats support this form of modern slavery.

I think most Americans, especially the ones who voted for Trump, are against it since they feel their jobs have been either lost or cheapened by Democratic support of illegal immigration.
 
Wait a minute, the left has it ass backwards again. Trump doesn't have a "foundation" like the Klintons have.

Which is the issue, goosestepper. The Clinton foundation was a charity, completely independent from the Clintons, not financially tied to the Clintons in any way. Donations to the Clinton foundation in no way benefited the Clintons. That's why only the most brazenly corrupt party hacks were willing to toss their integrity into the trash by claiming there was "pay to play".

It seems that the "foreign diplomats" are getting the benefit of a few door prizes, schmoozing with Trump and and creating good relations before his term even starts and best of all spending money in the Big Apple.

Spending money which goes into Trump's pocket.

That's bribery, it's specifically forbidden by the Constitution, and you're endorsing it, along with all the other Trump fans. You're all irredeemably corrupt party hacks, not to mention the worst sort of rank hypocrites.

The Constitution is clear here. Trump and his fans are crapping on it. That makes them the domestic enemies of the Constitution. My oath obligates me to oppose such people. I do not have a choice in the matter.

On the bright side, at least none of the Constitution-rapers here are pretending they wouldn't instantly demand the impeachment of any Democratic president who did the same thing. At least there are some lies apparently too big for them to tell.

Me thinks you're going to be disappointed.....

Hey, not just an immigrant. Melania has lots of talents - porn actor, took off her clothes for anyone who would pay for it, lied about her education, lied about the languages she speaks, lied about the speech she stole from the real FLOTUS and, best of all - a prostitute who got rid of all but one of her johns - and she was illegal for quite a while.

Finally, you're going to get rid of an accomplished and beautiful woman who earned her way and has spent the past 8 years fighting for jobs and housing for our vets, even as the Repubs fought against them and refused to sign even one measure the president sent them. She fought for healthier American kids and for the right of girls to learn to read and get an education.

But hey, trump did send a vet group one of his bumper sticker. What a guy, huh?

:puke:
Ah, it's funny that the *liberated* left always likes to call women they don't like sluts, isnt it?

That's how they view women. It's why the only women they can ever elevate are hideous. They think beautiful women exist only for sex.

Well my dear. Can you prove to us that she is not a slut?
When it comes to sex it doesn't matter what political affiliation may it be left or right. Sex is sex. You make it sound that only the left can have erection and the right have limp dick.

Ah, it's funny that the *liberated* left always likes to call women they don't like sluts, isnt it?

That's how they view women. It's why the only women they can ever elevate are hideous. They think beautiful women exist only for sex.

And you think the right wingers are excluded in your opinion? Your president is a good example of that.
And I never said I hate sluts.
 
So, literally not one of the Trump-cultists cares at all that DearLeader is violating the Constitution and the law, by accepting donations from foreign officials through his businesses.

Sure, they're tossing insults, deflecting madly, and crying like the lifelong limpwristers they are, but not one of them will address the issue.

The lesson we learn is that all Trump fans are either corrupt to the core or totally whupped. That is, they're all either proud to be criminals, or simply too scared of their thug-brethren to step out of line and dare criticize the actions of DearLeader in even the tiniest way.

Over in North Korea, DearLeaderKim is now seething in jealousy, wishing he had lackeys as mindlessly devoted as DearLeaderTrump's
 
Mexico is going to LOVE Donald Trump for returning so many hard working people back to their homeland. It's a beautiful thing. Mexico will flourish with the addition of that incredible work force.

It's disgusting that the USA has been stealing Mexican labor for decades. The racism has got to stop. We are using brown people as slaves and it's disgusting.

The liberal elites are worried about losing their housekeepers.

Your role model knows better than that. He is only deporting convicted illegals which we are already doing under obama. He is not doing any mass deportation.
Again try to be honest. Almost all Americans are taking advantage of these cheap labors provided by illegals.

Are you?
 
So, still not a single Trump goosestepper is willing to address the issue.

God isn't going to be fooled by your excuses on judgement day, you know. You can deflect here, but it's not going to work there. You'll have to justify why you acted so badly, and I doubt "Because I was too prideful to admit the liberals were right!" is going to fly.

As for this plane of existence, we'll spend the next four years pointing out your open corruption and rank hypocrisy. And no, crying at us ever harder won't make us stop. Again, sacred oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Bush ethics people also had no problem with wiretapping incoming calls from terrorist nations or waterboarding terrorists and you people were ready to charge Bush with war crimes. Now, you are showing the love.

Cherry pickers.
 
....Almost all Americans are taking advantage of these cheap labors provided by illegals.
Please both clarify and back up that statement. Sure, some Americans are getting rich off illegals since it amounts to indentured servitude. Thanks for admitting that Democrats support this form of modern slavery.

I think most Americans, especially the ones who voted for Trump, are against it since they feel their jobs have been either lost or cheapened by Democratic support of illegal immigration.

If you buy poultry, meat and agricultural products, clean your house, wash you in convalescence home. You support illegals. Maybe you can boycott these products see happen to your political beliefs.
If you deport these people................... you wake up in the morning in the convalescence home or home care ...................... you are full of shit. Who do you call? Kozhergirl? ColonelAngus?
 
And it's happening before he takes office, accepting payments from foreign officials, something specifically prohibited in the Constitution. Foreign diplomats are lining up to spend big bucks to stay at Trump hotels and get their names on the register.

For foreign diplomats, Trump hotel is place to be

Now, one can say Trump didn't know about this, so what's already happened isn't his fault. Fair enough.

However, he knows about it _now_. If he doesn't take immediate steps to stop it, he's deliberately taking the money of foreign agents. Again, that's something specifically prohibited by the Constitution.

So, can we get the conservatives to agree it's an impeachable offense if it's not stopped? That is, is there any level of crime they won't excuse on behalf of DearLeader?

After all, if it had happened under a Democrat, every conservative and media pundit would be crying for instant impeachment and prosecution. I hope no conservative embarrasses themselves by trying to deny that. I mean, look at the Clinton Foundation. There was no pay there, but foreign diplomats asked for play, and were refused, yet conservatives said that was criminal, somehow.

In this case, there's actual pay, and the play is still unknown. It's a far, far more egregious offense.


You poor little snowflake, the desperation is stinks of dead skunks.

Trumps Hotels are individual corporations. As long as he charges everyone the market rate, regardless of who it is, there is no conflict of interest.

You lost, stop grasping at straws, and deal with it.

What a ridiculous myth, perpetrated by globalist buffoons.

The world will not end and we will not all starve if we start deporting criminal illegals. Trust me.

You are not being honest. Sure we are not going to starve because we will depend on you that you will take over these jobs. Just imagine how much the price increases that would be?

Btw last year we deported 177k+ convicted criminals.

Any day now........ one of you will bring up the famous Alabama Ruling HB 56.

Oh no, I'm sure they care. That said, it is a matter of perspective, trying getting a little bit.

Everything that the news media or the folks on the left that say this new administration may, or may not be guilty of, the previous administration, and the one before, and the one before that, have already set a precedent for.

You can't just start complaining about this new administration's apparent lack of ethics when the precedent has already been set. If you didn't give a shit before, pretending to give a shit now just makes you look like a giant turd sandwich.

Some of us have cared all along, and frankly, just think they all need to go.
