Ok I get my news here and looked back a few pages but couldn't find reference to the latest thing Trump supposedly said which has my liberal acquaintance going nuts saying president Trump now thinks he's Emperor! Big Grin

Supposedly "as the President my authority is total".

The term is hardly new nor was it first associated with this pandemic. It appears in WHO publications at least as far back as 2008, and I suspect much earlier:

You don’t screw with Trump, you will feel his wrath, he is a successful CEO for a reason, none of which the politicians, and “leaders” are.

Yeah, well, this was actually the only part of that press briefing that made me cringe. He's dead wrong about this. When he says that his authority is total in regards to how the states "open" (for lack of a better word), I have no idea what he is talking about. Regardless, him saying it doesn't bother me. We all know Trump says goofy things sometimes. This was one of those times.

I suggested on page prior it was a trap to get governors to say it's their choice to close the economy, see link posted on previous page with Cuomo saying he has the authority not Trump to open/close the economy.

I believe that this was a set-up by PDJT which provoked the exact reaction that he was seeking -

Which was having the state governor’s and the presstitute media all demanding that only they (the governor’s) have the authority to relax the restrictions that they imposed on their states.

Trump then said to the effect, “o.k., you own it now along with rebellion that will come looking for you if you do not re-open”.

Art of The Deal!!

^^^ Yes. Trump is always two steps ahead of them. He set the trap and they fell. Now they own their state’s recovery or failure to recover.

On comparing President Trump to Captain Bligh:

"The Mutiny on the Bounty occurred during his command of HMS Bounty in 1789; after being set adrift in Bounty's launch by the mutineers, Bligh and his loyal men all reached Timor alive, after a journey of 3,618 nautical miles (6,700 km; 4,160 mi)."

Actually, I think it goes even further than that. Look at this resolution the dems are putting through the House. This is now on record. Now it's not just Republicans who believe in federalism. Trump has made commie dems put down on paper that the federal government--the leftists' Big Momma--is in fact not so powerful after all. These progressives, who want the federal government to dictate to the States medicare for all, they are now on record saying that the states can tell the feds to pound sand. It's glorious.

Lawmakers push back against Trump by introducing resolution saying president’s authority ‘is not total’

https://www.foxnews.com/politi...-authority-not-total

Reps. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J., Dean Phillips, D-Minn., and Justin Amash, I-Mich., sponsored the resolution that "affirms when someone is the president of the United States, their authority is not total."

(By the way, it's one sentence, and they still can't get the grammar correct. It should read "His or Her authority is not total." Damn it!

Just saw Cuomo's press conference with a picture of Alexander Hamilton...suddenly the Democrat governors are quoting the Federalist Papers and citing the 10th Amendment.

President Trump is some kind of miracle worker!

I'm retired from the dept of corrections & "social distancing" has been second nature for me for years. I'm kinda happy that they found a cute name for it though, instead of my usual "get the f--- away from me" that I've always used before.Smile

States can also set up mail in voting/ballot harvesting if they get it through their legislatures regardless if Trump is against it or not correct? Just like they can open or close the economies when they wish. Double edge sword is ever present. This is what concerns me. Wouldn't take many states to do so to change the outcome of a election.

Minnesota could very well go red this next election. Amy Klobuchar has introduced mail in voting bill to the legislature which the dems have the majority. I've said before, I'd much prefer to take my chances with the virus than to have my vote nullified in this way.

This is probably the biggest wet dream the dems hope to get out of this virus and the drum beat for it gets louder everyday.

And if the dems get in the White House again all their clamoring for states rights now will be forgotten never to be mentioned again.
