It is the activist liberal "living document" members that invent new interpretations and throw out the literal wording.

"Well regulated militia".

Or how about...

"Corporations are people"

Your right 2timothy, I don't recall ever seeing ex presidents doing anything other than staying away from the political debate for at least 8 years. Obamas attempt to 'justify himself' and do political rallies - rather than let our constitutional system of Govt work itself out as it has done in the past 'without' past presidents (like an ex spouse showing up on your doorstep thinking they're going to help better your marriage).

A reemerging leader creates a personality/cult and a mentality/devotee following 'more akin to dictators resurfacing' not something America has known (noting the OPs original misguided claim).

An endorsement is not going around giving speeches, come on, at least be intellectually honest when trying to rebut.
You should probably read what's in the link before trying to respond to them :

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush spent the beginning of his campaign insisting he is his own man, not his father, the 41st president, and especially not his brother, the 43rd president, George W. Bush. But over time, Jeb Bush has more publicly embraced his brother on the trail, and today, he brought him out to campaign with him for the first time.

You are not tracking, if you were you would know that Jeb was never President and that is the context....totally irrelevant point.

Isn't that the real irony to this thread. The actions of an Ex President line up more for an aspiring dictator than the actual sitting President....just saying

Huh? This makes zero sense. The context was "Ex presidents normally campaign, it’s not unusual at all." You wanted evidence of this. I posted an example of Bush doing exactly that for his brother. You claimed the links were about endorsing. I corrected you.

Now you think that Jeb not being president somehow makes his brother not one either? I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here. Do you?

He seems to want to turn our government into an autocracy.
autocracy - An autocracy is a system of government in which supreme power is concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control (except perhaps for the implicit threat of a coup d'état or mass insurrection).

autocrat -
a ruler who has absolute power.
synonyms: absolute ruler, dictator, despot, tyrant
"the former autocrat could be banned from traveling abroad while the investigation proceeds"
  • someone who insists on complete obedience from others; an imperious or domineering person.
Is that what we really want our country to become? Like other autocratic run countries (i.e. Russia, China, N Korea)? Trump seems to love all those countries and their leaders and their ability to have complete control over their people. I he succeeds, then we can lose our freedom. He speaks about the constitution which he wants to change and the rule of law, which he seems to have no regards for when it comes to him. We need to take all this in careful consideration when it comes time to vote. Has Trump ever even mentioned Democracy although he constantly denigrates Democrats which is derived from Democracy.
democracy. A system of government in which power is vested in the people, who rule either directly or through freely elected representatives.
No, actually, a Democracy is the rule of whatever the majority is at the moment. We do not live in a Democracy. Our wise Forefathers set up the United States of America as a Republic.

I said Ex Presidents campaigning against sitting Presidents. The Bush thing was an anomaly because it was his brother. Once Jeb got out of the race George disappeared once again. Bush was not out campaigning against Obama after his Presidency. Does it make sense now?

That makes no sense - Trump wasn't up for reelection this year.



Citation needed.



Let me make this simple. Obama is actually actively giving speeches and rallies against a sitting President. That has NEVER happened before....understand.

Bush 43 was not holding speeches against Obama after he left office. Bush 43 was endorsing his brother because that is HIS brother. If you do not understand that I can not help you.

Hillary's not running. She lost. Did you forget that? You (and Trump) seem to have forgotten that for some reason. He beat her and for some reason continues to bring her up.
You seem to have no idea about the globalist elites for who she ran.
Obama ran for them before her, and Bush, and Bill and Poppy Bush.
However, Hillary is not just a failed candidate, she heads the whole Clinton cabal, and justice will catch up with her.
Her scene still has power and uses it to undermine the Trump administration.
Truth will come out.
Matter of time.

We are witnessing the destruction of the old guard.
They do still own the media though.

four words: doesn't change the fact. :wave:
tulc(suspects that's why President Trump supporters are still obsessing over Sec Clinton: she CLEARLY was the candidate the majority of Americans wanted) :sorry:
No, she lost a rigged election.
She would have been totally obliterated in the polls if it wasn't rigged.
Truth will come out.
Matter of time.

You are making a mistake to think I am clueless to the global satanic kabbahl. But that is off topic. I have no idea about the Bilderberg, CFR, Vatican, Jesuit, Masonic
arms...

I am still trying to wrap my head how a Russian Communist bot is going to enlighten me on who the deep state is though lol.

Trump loves democracy.

He is trying his best to get back some of what was lost during the last Administration.

The swamp was put into place and it ain't easy being rid of it.

Pray for us.
