Down the Rabbit Hole: CBS Suggests Trump Readying to ‘Suspend’ Constitution
Nicholas Fondacaro
August 16th, 2020 1:07 PM
 
CBS senior contributor Ted Koppel joined Alice down the rabbit hole during Sunday Morning as he spent his over 10-minute segment spinning a crackpot conspiracy theory which claimed President Trump was getting ready to activate so-called “Presidential Emergency Action Documents” or PEADs. The activation of these secret documents, according to Koppel and his cast of lefty loons, would allow Trump to “suspend our constitution,” stripping away all our rights ahead of the election. One loon said it was the “blueprint to dictatorship.”

Koppel began his segment by playing clips of Trump bombastically bragging about his powers as president. Trump’s vague pontifications gave Koppel just the footing he needed to hold up his conspiracy theory. “We can't know for sure, but what the President appears to have been referring to are his Presidential Emergency Action Documents, often referred to as PEADs,” he told viewers.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Since when do liberals give a damn about the Constitution?  If they are accusing anyone of planning to suspend the Constitution, it is only because they are already doing it themselves.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

My question is.... what are the leftists planning.... that they are so worried about Trump thwarting them with these "PEADs"...?   They usually signal what they are up to by what they're bitching about.  What is it this time?

Well,, she has the same Legions of Liars to minimize a Constitutional issue. Considering the Constitutional Crisis that would happen if slow Joe seized up, Republicans really need to take back the House, or 'Queen Nancy' might get to act out from the Oval Office. Wouldn't that be a crappy choice?

I would love to see Pelosi relegated to "minority" status again.  If there is the GOP landslide that I think there will be....sans massive voter fraud...that might happen.  So sick of her ugly, lying face up there stirring her cauldren.   And that goes for her little flymonkey Chucky, too.

I actually can 'see' that happening, if they're going to allow this bullsh*t scam of mail-in ballots.

It's called Election DAY.  Not 'Weekend'!  Not 'until all the votes are counted...no matter how long it takes'!

And you are required to have a photo ID along with current mail delivered to your address that matches your ID.

No "early voting" either.   Be THERE, or be square.

There's nothing wrong with "early voting".  Early voting goes a long way towards eliminating those long lines at the polling places.  In fact, early voting should be extended to the entire month of October, considering their Covid-19 excuse for pushing mail in voting.   Employers should be mandated to give each employee a day off to go vote during early voting.   That way, no excuses.  If they can get to work, school, grocery store, other shopping, etc..... they can damned sure get to the voting booth... mask and all. Only the elderly, infirm, disabled or military should qualify for absentee ballots.   No other mail in voting should be allowed or accepted as valid.

That's how it "should" be conducted.   But naturally.... that's way too logical for it to work in those leftist run/ruined states.

Well,the Dims and their RINO butt-buddies ARE doing everything they can do to create a situation where he has no other choice.

It's the only hope the Dims have of not losing all their power. If Trump is elected and gets a second term,it's over for them and they will have to find real jobs.

As for the RINO's,if the Dims lose power they won't have the Dim shadow to hide behind as they sell their office for cash,so they are also terrified.

If there's any suspendin' of the Constitution to be done, it will be the democrat-communists who do so when they attempt to override the Electoral College "safe harbor" rule that electors must be certified by the states 35 days after the election.

Because I predict there could be at least one state that hasn't completed the mail-in vote tally by that time...

"Early voting' is easily discarded.  That is what happened to me.  No record of my vote in Nevada.  I voted early.

Vote early inevitably leads to vote often.

More time to vote means more time to assume someone else's identity and vote somewhere else.
