It never seems to stop him from claiming he has the authority to do such a thing.
He hasn’t yet been given the opportunity to try to do such a thing. I predict that he will become very frustrated.

The lack of legal authority never stopped Obama.
Brass Orchid Premium Member almost 8 years ago
Trump has full authority to not block any investigations when they present their evidence to the Justice Department for consideration on the issuing of charges.

The truly interesting part of the toon is how Joe gets right into bed with Bob when he floats an idea Joe likes. I look forward to all you libs climbing onboard as the year unfolds.

Oh, yeah – big win; even with all the Repliklan voter suppression & Republiklan-rigged voting machines, she only got 2.9 million more votes than Twitler. The Electoral College has served it’s original purpose & preserved the power of white supremacists: Russia, ISIS, and the KKK got the President they wanted & the majority of voters didn’t.

Apparently the “alt-twitterverse” doesn’t like “nasty” comments about Trump.Hmmm. McConnell is a jerk who only wants to preserve his own, and his party’s power by obstructing in ALL ways a DULY ELECTED President?Hey, Mitch, and ALL you RW A****, you DO know what goes around comes around?Unless you lock us all up!But then, we’ve ALWAYS been at war with East Asia!

“Suck it up snowflakes.”

What is it with that stupid “snowflake” insult you all repeat like a bunch of mindless parrots? Not only does it makes it seem as though you have no mind of your own, it doesn’t even make SENSE. How is that even an insult?

O.K.! As a loooong time Patriots fan ( back when they were the Boston Patriots and were horrible ), I for one think Tom Brady got screwed by Rodger ( The Artful Dodger ) Goodell and the NFL.
.
Would that it were true, that Emperor Trump could wave his tiny hand, and utter those famous words, " You’re Fired ! " Thus ridding the world of Gotcha Goodell and vindicate his pal Tom Terrific,
.
But I know this can’t be so. I can only dream that Brady and New England extract a modicum of revenge by accepting ( graciously of course ) the Super Bowl LI trophy from a chastised, and humble Commissioner.
Hey, it’s my fantasy ! I can tell it any way I want to!

Football may be our only hope for bringing Americans together again. At least there we can have our respective loyalties without serious long-term consequences. I mean, just because the Bears will always suck doesn’t mean I want to fire-bomb Chicago, right?

Not having the authority never stopped “I have a phone and a pen” Obama. Why would it stop Trump?

The Khans attacked Trump for not having been in the service, or having children who served and died there. However, since this observation is equally valid when applied to the Clintons, and even more so, since Hillary Clinton was involved in Middle East policy where Donald Trump was not, the attack was biased on its face, and deserved a rebuke on that basis.

Obama did it, why shouldn’t Trump, just following his example.

What is the new deflate gate about? I for one haven’t read or seen anything. While I never watch ESPN, I do watch the NFL network.

“Didn’t have the authority???” Trump hasn’t even had the opportunity to have authority yet. But for certain, it never stopped Obama.
kodj kodjin almost 8 years ago
“people keep saying that but it doesn’t seem to stop him”. Is he referring to Pres. Obama with his phone and his pen? To hell with the Constitution?
Brass Orchid Premium Member almost 8 years ago
I still have to wonder, if Trump wasn’t black, would people be so prejudiced against him before he even takes office.

More than sixty years ago, Harry Truman described the presidency this way: “He’ll sit there and say, ‘Do this! Do that!’ And nothing will happen.” I think this is relevant to what’s going to happen (or not happen) after the inauguration. Keep in mind that while tRump has a Republican congress, he’s not particularly loved by the party or the Wall Street billionaires who form its base (to them, The Donald is a classless boor who will never be allowed into the private club). And all those federal agencies where he wants to “drain the swamp” (by bringing in more alligators)… they’ve been here before. Yawn. Another “reformer.” Orders will be given, directives Tweeted in the wee hours… and very little will happen. The Bureaucracy knows how to protect itself.

Lets see, Prez O made a mess of the middle east (Arab Spring follow thru debacle), stabs a long time friend in the back (so which ally is next), slaps the wrist of the present Tsar, threatens to clean his clock then dumps it all in Trump’s lap to figure it out, et cetera, ad nauseum. Worse president since Carter (had to be there to understand).

You pinko lefties are all are idiots, but beside that lets see what happens before getting all self righteous.
