It is well know Trump talks a lot of shit and moves on. Why don't you do the same.
@The Ghost When a non-office-holding citizens talks
that kind of shit, that's one thing.
When an office-holder talks
that kind of shit, it's alarming enough, especially depending upon the office held at the time of the talk; and, whether the office holder in question holds the sort of office from which he or she can turn that sort of mere shit
talk into official
action. A dog catcher or a water supervisor talking
that kind of shit isn't likely to wreak havoc upon the First Amendment; a local sheriff or police officer, a police commissioner, a county supervisor, a mayor, a state legislator, a governor, a representative in the House, a Senator, is far more in official position to wreak that kind of havoc. (The long-since torpedoed McCain-Feingold, anyone?)
When the
president of the United States talks
that kind of shit, it goes
far beyond alarming, no matter
who the president who says it happens to be and against whom specifically he says it, and regardless of his party. Especially considering that we are several generations in on the premise---nowhere to be found in the Constitution, and thanks in part to Congresses ceding enough of its supremacy to the executive branch---that what the president says, wishes, demands, is close enough to law, or ought to be heeded without question. And if it's bad enough that too many presidents we can think of including the incumbent have behaved like such monarchs (for the witless, I use "monarch" metaphorically, not literally or legally), it's just as bad if not worse that there are too many citizens of what remains of this republic who
want it that way.
Relax, for only a moment, anyway. President Tweety isn't the first president to talk
that kind of shit. Not by a long shot, even if there's an argument that he might be the most blunt about it, or at least one of the couple most blunt. Unfortunately, it's not likely that he'll be the last, either. And talking
that kind of shit only piles onto the reputation he already had, going in, as a man whose knowledge of (if not respect for) the Constitution equaled that of a pygmy.
