  • America's favorite idiot wants to suspend the constitution

    So, a 2024 presidential hopeful says that we shout suspend the constitution so he can lead us again.



    My question to those of you want to vote for this loon again: when do you get of this train wreck? Or was he right in that his followers love him so much he can shoot a person dead in cold blood and you'll still be his.
    WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.
    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

    George Stephanopolous's guest Congressman did say that wanting to suspend the Constitution was not a deal breaker: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lead...ry?id=94397805

    That's rather disturbing IMO.

    My most vocally conservative Facebook friend is in support of the remarks, but him and this post just now are the first I've heard of it.

      Was that all there was to the quote? No background or context? As it is, it doesn't even make any sense.

        I haven't seen any other major elected republican support that comment. I'm on the record of telling you I think he's an idiot and narcissist. At this point, I expect, contrary to Liberals opinion, Trump's time has passed.

          Many kinda hope it has. I think they were the ones who agreed with him on positions and not so much with the man himself.

          I'm always still in trouble again

            Perhaps you should read what Trump actually said:

            “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

            He is, in fact, saying the exact opposite of what you and the article claim he is saying. He is saying that the Constitution should be upheld and is accusing those on the left of terminating the "rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution".

              That doesn't appear to be what he's saying. Contextually, he seems to be discussing recourses available for undoing a perceived wrong.

                What other context is there? The article doesn't specify, so it seems the statement could be taken either way depending on one's disposition towards Trump.

                  The TruthSocial post starts with "Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER", so the context seems plenty clear.

                    They're doing some pretty wild spinning. Trump is a Constitutionalist, so there's no way he's calling for it to be overturned. His "great Founders" line shows where his loyalties are.

                    Trump can never be accused of being concise. I'm sure he'll be along shortly to try to clarify what he said. But his stubborn fixation on the 2020 results are going to be his undoing.

                      I didn't see him mention any recourse. He seemed to be saying that fraudulent elections are terminating "rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution..." He's still whining about the 2020 election; he can't get past it.

                        Hrm. While I can see that as an alternate interpretation, it seems to me that the more natural one given the structure would be him saying that the rules/regulations/articles/Constituton should be terminated to fix the issues he thinks there are.

                        On the other hand, it's possible he just phrased it poorly. It happens, and Trump certainly has a history of not looking over his own Tweets very well (remember covfefe?).

                        Here's the full Tweet, for the record, as the article frustratingly doesn't show a picture of it, show the text, or link to it:

                        "So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

                        Link:
                        https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...49803240069864

                        I don't think the greater context of the sentence in the tweet sheds more light on it though. It still is a bit ambiguous. From the way it's written the "suspend the Constitution" makes more sense, but on the other hand that's such an extreme thing to declare that even with my low opinion of him, I'd find it odd if that was Trump's intent.

                          Trump is not remotely a Constitutionalist.

                          Hell, the dude literally said he's fine with stripping people's 2nd amendment rights and asking questions later.

                              It seems to me that he's saying that we shouldn't let rules, including the Constitution, get in the way of throwing the 2020 presidential election results out and declaring the "rightful winner", or having a new election.

                              But I'll grant that there is always some ambiguity in his writing.
