Followed by this assessment from a Jim Wright on Facebook.
"That moment as President when you discover that part about Checks and Balances most of us learned in 8th Grade.
Leaving aside the part where the President of the United States, the actual goddamned PRESIDENT, is sitting on the shitter at 5 in the morning petulantly complaining to the internet about the New York Times and people being mean to him and the fact that the job is WAY more complicated than he imagined (so tough in fact that he needed a vacation less than two weeks into it), leaving all that aside, there's this:
"The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"
"The opinion of..."
That opinion is a legal decision in accordance with the Constitution. That's how our government is supposed to work.
"...of this so-called judge..."
There's nothing so-called about it. James Robart is a US District Judge, a conservative appointed by George W. Bush in accordance with the Constitution and approved by the Senate in a vote of 99 to 0. Now either Trump believes in the US Constitution and the US process of government or he doesn't. It's just that goddamned simple. Federal Judges ruled against President Obama any number of times (it happens to all presidents), you didn't see Barack on the shitter at 5AM tweeting "IT'S SO UNFAIR! UNFAIR!" like a ****ing child.
But here's the part which really matters:
"...which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country..."
What?
WHAT?
HOW does this judgement take law enforcement away from our country?
How? Be specific and show your work.
The press should grab onto this line, this one right here "essentially takes law enforcement away from our country," and hold on like a pitbull. FORCE the President to answer that question. HOW? Prove it. Spell it out. Either prove your statement or admit to the world that you're just having a tantrum because you didn't get your way.
As conservatives were so very fond of pointing out over and over and over and over and over again for the last 8 years, this ain't a dictatorship. The President can't just wave his tiny orange hand and the rest of us have to jump around like trained dogs.
But that's what Trump actually thinks. And he thinks that because nobody has EVER told him no -- not even when he jammed his hand into their crotch. He's a rich spoiled child who has NEVER been told no. Every statement he makes shows his utter ignorance of how things work in the real world -- something he never had to learn when sheltered inside his golden palace surrounded by toadies and yesmen and fawning servants.
This is why it's important to listen to this guy and not just ignore his social media rantings.
And the press needs to get off their collective asses and start holding this asshole's delicate little feet to the fire."
