I know that she's just lying and being a piece of shit as usual.
That being said, could you not lie better? Saying that every order the president gives is lawful is such a 5 year old's understanding of how the government works. It's such a naive thing to say.
These people have the mental acuity of 5 year olds so no. And no offense meant to 5 year olds.
You're not far off. The majority of my sperm donors siblings didn't finish high school, and are so deep in the MAGA trash, it's embarrassing to call them relatives...
Bagdad Barbie didn't get her job by being smart, that's for sure.
It ain't her looks either.
She's like the third lady down the line at a bar.
(I know it is her looks. These people just have horrible taste)
Its her loyalty.
After pence didnt carry thru jan 6 the way trump wanted, his number 1 criteria for his cronies is loyalty.
It's even more sinister than that. She is parroting Nazi propaganda written by Carl Schmitt which claims that the ultimate authority for moral and legal decision resides with the 'sovereign leader' and therefore anything that the leader decides is good and legal.
I looked for a first or second degree source to get the exact wording, but they're all paywalled behind academic journals. Behind the Bastards did a set on him
Everything Obama said was legal because... Gestures to the photo
Lying badly is the point. They looked at 1984 as a guidebook.
Except that I think they overextended themselves. They jumped there too fast and nobody is buying it.
unfortunately, so many people actually are buying this shit
I know that she’s just lying and being a piece of shit as usual.
She's not though. The supreme court says the president is above the law, remember? It is impossible for him to issue an illegal order, because the law does not apply to him. Jeez, get on board with the monarchy already.
SCOTUS ruled he cannot be held accountable when he does something illegal, not that the actions themselves are legal.
Which just goes to show what a stunning piece of shit decision it was.
It's what fascists believe, and what fascists can do is only limited by what they're allowed to get away with. So far, that's been pretty much everything.
Remember when Nixon said that and it ended his presidency?
Don't worry, they're not. That's not going to happen.
It has been the unironic goal of conservatism to make sure another Nixon won't happen by making their presidents above the law.
Yeah. Nowadays it's just another section of the GOP letterhead.
That's why Fox News was created in the first place. All those Nixon lickers went to work there to set up propaganda for shitheads and after thirty years - BINGO
Pepperidge Farms doesn't remember, following a settlement out of court for an undisclosed amount.
If you're talking about the "If the President does it it's not illegal" quote, that came from an interview between Nixon and David Frost which occurred after his presidency was already over.
Do you see that? That's the hallmark of totalitarianism: "this one man is the law".
"When the President does it, that means it is not illegal" - Richard Nixon 1977
I mean the courts have already determined that several orders the president has given are illegal.
Newsmax is in our shitty video rotation on our work TVs. For those that are fortunately unaware, Newsmax is bottom of the barrel conservative propaganda garbage.
They have been milking every last drop out of this video the Democrats put out encouraging service members to ignore unlawful orders as if it's blatant sedition or some sort of call for revolution. It's literally just a reminder for troops to follow the law and the fact that the magasphere is taking it as a political attack is incredibly telling.
Prior to the Jan 6 Trump Terrorist Overthrow attempt, he was asked multiple times if he intended to have a peaceful transfer of power.
The same types of “he didn’t mean it” and “he’s the president, he can” arguments were used and then bam! He committed treason that day and most days and we all collectively clutched our pearls. Now we’re letting it happen again but in a worse way.
Maybe clutching pearls and SLAMMING people in the media are completely useless.
I don't know what it is but this woman's dumb face and little smirks of arrogance send me into a fit of rage every time I see her. I would rather look at Trump's dumbass face than hers. I can't wait to never see her again.
It's because you know she isn't demented or a sociopath (at least not at the level of der rapist). So she's just literally talking shit all day long and never faces any repercussions for it.
It's a life of disgusting hypocrisy and it's horrifying to watch.
are you there yet America? or is there yet another fascist mark you need to pass before you call for a general strike or at least do a "no king" thingy on a weekday?
"Hi, this is America. We can't come to the phone right now. Leave your name number and country of origin so we can deport you later. K, thx, bye"
Nope, most Americans are too dumb.
There was a post on Reddit a while back where Americans tried to name as many countries on a world map as they could. Quite a few didn't even get the United States in the right location. One person labelled Brazil as the United States and the United States as Canada, Canada and Alaska were Alaska.
Jesus fucking christ every time I hear about this person i want to claw a hole in the wall and escape through it.
Not humor.
Fascism.
Did she actually say that last line?
Longer but yes, 2:35 tube
Well she technically said "all orders the president has given" which is different but also incorrect.
The king's order might be lawful according to his laws, but not necessarily according to the constitution?
This is the same as saying God cannot be evil because he is good by nature.
It's exactly that. They're literally trying to bring back "divine right of kings."
To be fair the US military has never in more than isolated cases cared whether a order is "lawful" long history of gleefully committing "crimes".
In my house when we caught the dog munching on cat turds, we would say "leave it"
The US fell back to Renaissance tyrannies in a heartbeat
There is no confusion. The military will obey.
