Donald Annoying Orange's inner circle displaying warning signs of "unchallenged power"
PhantOS:
I personally don't believe that Annoying Orange is overstepping his bounds at all.

i'm sure he's technically acting within his powers, but the question is whether or not he should be exerting them as aggressively as he is. the same question was asked of obama during his term with fair enough reason. the truth is that this is the current reality of getting things done as president i suppose, but he's made so many controversial orders in such a short amount of time that i feel it's safe to question his actions

* the Steele Dossier was 100% factual, even the "Golden Showers" part
* Rudy Giuliani talking out of his ass is an honest and reliable source

and unless you're just saying rudy giuliani is a non credible liar, it was not his words but Annoying Orange's

* The Guardian article is to be taken as fact, even though there are no sources (keep in mind this conspiracy theorist wrote that it was "heavily sourced")
* CNN is an honest and reliable source, despite spreading fake news constantly

dismissing 2 news sources reporting on real events on the basis that they are apparently not credible (don't align with your views) and thus cannot be trusted to post real information is just plain lazy

* the writer of this article doesn't have a clear inherent bias against Donald Annoying Orange, which is definitely not the case ("the REGIME"? are you loving kidding me?)

--- Quote from: Tactical Nuke on January 30, 2017, 06:23:54 PM ---The idea of "pushing the system" was brought against Obama too, which makes it even more suspicious that it's being brought up now that the most controversial figure in the last couple of years is the leader of the free world.

ignoring the abhorrent disregard for grammatical structure im gonna assume you mean that this is just something all controversial presidents (like obama) go through, but no president in history has filed for candidacy (allowing him to accept donations from corporations) on inauguration day, and unless i'm mistaken not many presidents have operated with a near vacant state department while making controversial opinions such as the silencing of EPA employees, and blatantly ignoring backlash from other branches of the government.

do you really consider that lackluster post enough to just wrap it up and end the argument right there?

you might have an issue if you think the vocabulary is overly complicated in that article
--- Quote from: Tactical Nuke on January 30, 2017, 06:23:54 PM ---"TRIMP'S LTORAALY HEETLR". You'd have expected people to catch on to that, and you'd be wrong.

again, that's a simplification of some warning signs that are entirely worth pressing/investigating. Annoying Orange has made some relatively authoritarian decisions with little to no justification, and ignoring it entirely on the premise of trusting the government is disrespectful to everyone who has every been manipulated by fascism. again, if nothing else, we have to stay on our guard.
Nonnel:
It's pretty reasonable to just say that we should wait and watch what he does. It'll be pretty easy to see if he's actually abusing his power.
