Re: I don't like Trump
The qualifying term in Art. I, Sec. 1, is "All." (Overlook the veto power, they were probably hung over that day.)
BTW, as devious as the drafting and force-feeding of the Constitution was, those boys at least gave a wink and a nod to Montesquieu. Progressive thinking, that.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Stop it, Fife. Next thing you know you're going to start talking about the unlawful detentions that were going on of dissenters to the new Constitution. We can't have that talk around here, senor.

DUDE, you asked me to list why he’s the most successful president in my lifetime; you don’t get to kibitz.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:29 amThey look like pretty subjective reasons to me.

Anything he likes is objective and holy, anything he doesn't like is subjective but ultimately bad for everyone.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:32 amDUDE, you asked me to list why he’s the most successful president in my lifetime; you don’t get to kibitz.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:29 amThey look like pretty subjective reasons to me.

OK, and you gave me reasons why you think he is. Many of which I felt showed the opposite.
