Funny how the left cares now about our democracy when they are playing a huge part in trashing it.

Typical of your own real clear thinking and arrogance. You claim Mike's thinking is "simple" and then simply suggest the ctitical issues of concern are reduced to pro-Trump or anti-Trump.

No... I said Mike was reducing everything to pro-Trump and anti-Trump (which he made very clear) and that's WHY I called his thinking simple. You really ought to learn how to read English.

I can assure you our support for Mr. Trump is far more detailed than personality.

Then show me.

Personality, emotions and feelings control and motivate Progressives and rob them of reason and productive thought. They attract their converts with irresponsible carnal passions therefore we always know where their brains are located.

See? That's not showing me how your support for Trump is any more "detailed than personality". That's just continuing your rant about people who piss you off.

Oh, so now it *IS* simple. Can you make up your mind?

Funny how things like that just spew out without the slightest explanation.

He was tweaking the media.

You'll get it one day.

A distraction was needed for Trump's associates to move unnoticed and he provided one.

It's too easy for him...like taking candy from babies.

He's kind of right, though, your plandemic and incessant, ILLEGAL attempts to take away OUR vote gives him just the excuse he needs to assume much more authority than he would have had if you geniuses had just let him serve his term and played by the rules.

Now it's dance time and you may absolutely hate and detest it but Trump has all the cards he needs and he'll run roughshod over the Dems if they keep pushing their treasonous crap.

I don't see how you did anything but prove there's a way to purposely misunderstand whatever you want.

Funny how you can't remember all the explanations you've already read during your time on the OPP.

Is talking in circles a major in college these days?

What a cop out. LOL You just can't explain your position without referring to other posts or videos to speak for you or a general waving in the air saying "the information is out there". That's a cop out dude.

You've already been told.

I answered the question in your title very simply in my first reply and you've been going in circles ever since.

His words were a ploy to keep the media talking while something else is afoot.

Both sides have done it ever since there's been politics.

I knew he didn't actually mean "absolute" as in absolute tyranny. He's just not very articulate and maybe that bothers him so he tries to hide it and that's why he so often appears lost when he talks. Hell, I don't know. But I knew as soon as I heard him utter those words... I stopped what I was doing and thought... the media is going to have a field day with this.

He walked it back the next day. And this is what I love about those moments when Trump isn't actually screwing anything up. He's just giving the media all kinds of material to feed their Trump-hating subscribers. He came out to the Rose Garden and said... (now get this)...

"The governors are going to be running their individual states."
(Yes, Donny, that's what they do)

"Some of them will say, 'No, I can't open now.'"
(And you wouldn't have the authority to do anything about it.)

"And some may last longer than we even would think."
(Seriously, what does that even mean?)

blah, blah, blah, then he says this...

"I will then be authorizing each individual governor of each individual state to implement a reopening."
(Donny, the Constitution beat you to it. They're already authorized to open AND close the states they govern. Notice how they're closed now? Was that you? No? You see, Donny, the governors closed their states, not you. And by that same authority, granted by the U.S.Constitution no less, they can open them right back up again. But you go right ahead and "con" your people into thinking that you're in charge, just like you've been doing for three years now.)

Actually, it's possible he could exercise executive power as laid out in a series of FEMA-related EOs, to take over industries. But so far he hasn't done that. But if he wants to have that authority over the states, he needs to implement those orders and I'm sure he's being steeply advised against that. Unless he's ready, and capable enough to dismiss the democracy entirely, taking over the industries would destroy his chances at surviving an election.

So... all you racists out there need to find a competent leader if you really want to resurrect fascism. Good luck with that. As for the fools that support him because they're convinced he really is making things better for all of America - just take a look around. Do you really think things are better? Honestly, I don't think the Good Lord can make things any clearer for you.
I i knew /i he didn't actually mean "absolu... (show quote)

That was all just another of Trump's laughably clumsy attempts at a power grab. He keeps yapping about the Constitution this, and the Constitution that; Trump has no clue what's in the Constitution.

Ploy with a nugget of truth.

You guys have given him far more power than he would have had and I promise he'll use it to destroy the Dem party leadership.

Truthfully, we already know you can never understand because we've had too many failed occasions trying to discharge into arrogant Progressive non-conductors. No explanation can penetrate a closed and tightly locked godless mind. That which separate us the most is spiritual, even to the level of profaning God's rainbows

Actually we’ve made “God’s rainbows” into an icon on social justice.
