I didn't see any of the Sunday shows yesterday. That sequence of clips that Morning Joe aired (currently being shared on my FB feed) is legit terrifying.

He's arguing that Judicial Review (he calls it Judicial Supremacy) does not exist.

Although it is pure conjecture (says it right up front), the fact that it even exists is a tragic. Please don't give her any ideas. Don't even crack that door a little. For the love of god, don't invite that thought in.

I She needs to pull the plug and go off to be a good grandmother. She needs to consider herself radioactive in light of the fallout of her failed presidential run and acknowledge that she is complicit in where we find ourselves. She should rise up and quash the idea that she will ever run for public office again.

Didn't catch the whole thing this morning so thanks for posting. Now a few questions - (i) WTF??? (ii) seriously, does he have Parkinson's or Tourette's or was he just wearing an ill fitting suit? (iii) is this the kind of segment we would have seen from Joseph Goebbels in 1930s Germany?

Last week Trump called those who take part in demonstrations “thugs” and “paid protestors”. This doesn’t show respect for First Amendment right, it sounds more like Putin.

That is exactly what the Russian leadership does. The idea is to marginalize the people who actually represent the core values of the Republic. The point is to bring down the Republic. You can disagree with them. but once you say they have no right to protest or start lying about them, you are in effect saying: „We want a regime where this is not possible anymore.“ When the president says that it means that the executive branch is engaged in regime change towards an authoritarian regime without the rule of law. You are getting people used to this transition, you are inviting them into the process by asking them to have contempt for their fellow citizens who are defending the Republic. You are also seducing people into a world of permanent internet lying and way from their own experiences with other people. Getting out to protest, this is something real and I would say something patriotic. Part of the new authoritarianism is to get people to prefer fiction and inaction to reality and action. People sit in their chairs, read the tweet and repeat the clichés: “yes, they are thugs” instead of “it is normal to get out in the streets for what you believe.” He is trying to teach people a new behavior: You just sit right where you are, read what I say and nod your head. That is the psychology of regime change.

I think he only believes that the Supreme Court can take such action, and that he clearly does not under stand how things work in our system of government.
