The 'Official' Quit Picking On Trump Thread

"The Powers of the President will not be questioned."
A day later, Stephen Miller, a top White House aide, made the rounds on several Sunday shows, and further brought into question the Trump administration’s respect for the judiciary on an institutional level.
On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” for example, host John Dickerson asked Miller what Team Trump has learned in the wake of the legal setbacks. “The end result of this,” Miller replied, “is that our opponents, the media, and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be questioned.”
Let’s pause to note that when White House officials tell the public that the president’s powers “will not be questioned,” there’s reason to worry. (Dear Republicans, try to imagine the reaction if one of President Obama’s aides said this during a nationally televised interview.)
Miller went on to tell ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos yesterday, “The point I want to make to you, George, and the point I want to make to your listeners, is that we have equal branches of government in this country. The judiciary is not supreme. A district judge in Seattle cannot force the president of the United States to change their laws and our Constitution because of their own personal views.”
In 1832, Andrew Jackson – a source of historical inspiration for those who surround Trump – didn’t much care for a Supreme Court ruling. The then-president reportedly responded to the high court’s decision by saying, ”John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.” The sentiment, which may be apocryphal, was intended to show an inherent lack of interest on the part of a White House in the judiciary’s rulings.
Nearly two centuries later, “The judiciary is not supreme” rhetoric has a familiar ring to it.
Last week, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) tried to assure the public that Donald Trump is “respecting the [legal] process, and that’s what counts at the end of the day.” But therein lies the point: Trump and his team clearly aren’t respecting the process. They’re attacking federal judges directly; they’re trying to convince the public that the legal system is broken and should be blamed in the event of a terrorist attack; and they’re even questioning the legitimacy of the courts’ role in examining the president’s poorly written, poorly executed executive order.

Re: The US is going through the beginning stages of Fascism
Plainly you don't know what the word beginning means. There has not been one minute in your tacky little life that was not ruled by fascism. Don't the trains run on time where you live?

It's about time some Trump supporters got air time!
This is just great. I'm sure it took some courage but it had to be said.

Looks kinda like the way our utilities mark underground lines when they're planning some work.
While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old farmer, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Donald Trump and his role as President elect of the United States.
The old farmer said, " Well, as I see it, Donald Trump is like a 'Post Tortoise'.''
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'Post Tortoise' was.
The old farmer said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that's a Post Tortoise."
The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain.
"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb asses put him up there to begin with."

Trump's approval rating at 39 percent
Trump's approval rating at 39 percent
President Trump’s approval rating is at 39 percent, according to a new poll.
The latest Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows Trump at a historic low compared with prior presidents in their first weeks in office.
The poll found just 39 percent approve of his job performance while 56 percent disapprove.
By comparison, President Barack Obama’s approval was at 64 percent in the February after he began his first term. President George W. Bush had a 53 percent approval rating in his first month in office. His father, President George H.W. Bush, had a 63 percent approval rating, while President Bill Clinton had a 56 percent approval rating. President Ronald Reagan had a 55 percent approval rating.
The poll found opinion on Trump is sharply polarized — 75 percent either strongly approve or strongly disapprove of the president.
The poll found that 60 percent believe Trump has kept his promises and 54 percent believe in his ability to get things done. Sixty-eight percent of those surveyed do not believe Trump is "even-tempered" while just 28 percent believe he is.
The Pew Research Center survey of 1,503 adults was conducted Feb. 7–12.
