He also said he can do whatever he wants with it. The really scary, mind numbing thing is that this is just one of several statements that would have taken down any other President. Because the WH press corps still refuses to band together and do follow ups when he says untrue, dangerous, or antidemocratic things, he feels completely free to let loose.
I am old enough to remember when the press was dismissively called "stenographers" because they just regurgitated the Bush administration's talking points. By comparison with this gang, they were brave stalwarts of journalism.

(4,649 posts)This War on Iran, for instance.... he described as "An Excursion" when the word was supposed to be "An Intervention"
He doesn't understand the difference between the two words, an that usually when one uses the term Excursion, it means:
A usually short journey made for pleasure; an outing. A roundtrip in a passenger vehicle at a special low fare. A group taking a short pleasure trip together.

(53,168 posts)is becoming reality though. In his first term he felt a bit constrained, plus there were real grownups in his administration to stop him from doing anything too reckless and dangerous.
Now no one even tries to stop him and he has congress just going along with him. He intentionally picked a lot of unqualified, dumb people for his administration so that no one would try to tell him "no". He must have had the "loyalty" speech with them before he nominated them.

(53,168 posts)After Venezuela, he thinks he can just randomly pick countries and take out their leaders and/or bomb the hell out of them.
He used to just tweet crazy crap, but now he actually does a lot of it. He is a very dangerous man and seems determined to leave this planet in ashes when he passes.

And can we punish Mitch McConnell for preventing conviction and removal years ago?

(53,168 posts)I picture that there are relatively sane people in the background working on removing him, but apparently that only happens in movies and books.
