    If he were a dictator, The republican party members would be in jail or exiled to Mexico and my point is, in our country, we've impeached presidents and risen to the cause during times like the dust bowl era.

    Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini were all elected.

    Obama is the latest generation of the breed. He just ignores the Republicans while his minion shield him from impeachment. It might not work through his last 2 years.

    Holder claims 'vast amount' of discretion in enforcing federal laws

    “There is a vast amount of discretion that a president has — and more specifically that an attorney general has,” Holder responded. “But that discretion has to be used in an appropriate way so that your acting consistent with the aims of the statute but at the same time making sure that you are acting in a way that is consistent with our values, consistent with the Constitution and protecting the American people."

    Republicans on the panel grilled Holder on the Obama administration’s decision not to interfere with marijuana legalization efforts in Colorado and elsewhere, as long as states establish adequate regulations.

    Goodlatte criticized the decision, saying it is tantamount to ignoring the law.

    “The Justice Department’s decision not to enforce the Controlled Substances Act in states whose laws violate federal law is not a valid exercise of prosecutorial discretion, but a formal department-wide policy of selective non-enforcement of an Act of Congress,” Goodlatte said.

    Oh by the way, you should listen to some the hair raising tales many Republicans can now tell about their personal relationship with the US government including the IRS, ATF, OSHA, FCC, BLM, DoA, FBI.
    Some of them now have a current relationship with ALL of these agencies. It definitely seems like a Dictatorship to many of these people.

    Yes they were, then they imprisoned or killed all their competition, thus making them dictators. John Boehner was still alive last time I checked. So is Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter. Just a tad more lenient don't you think?

    No more or less than during the Bush presidency.

    Well, last gasp #2 for me. Thanks for the discourse and I do take time to reflect on all your views whether I agree or not. It's just time to find the Daffy Duck thread that I know must be on this forum somewhere and enjoy a day off without an armband.

    Does that make Barrack the most decent dictator in history?

    Some of the 313.9 million are children or spouses covered under one policy. Some are elderly who already have Medicare. One step at a time.

    first, as you well know, it takes the Senate to impeach the President..not gonna happen. Second, almost all of the powers that be who can control that process, are bought off.

    Think about how many times the right has been attacked, how many talk show hosts have been accused of hate speech by the ruling left..give it a few more years and you very well may see some of the very things you mock..

    LOL

    It takes the house to impeach the President.

    It takes the senate to put on the trial, convict, and ultimately remove him.

    I demand you come mow my lawn for $15. I demand it. Now you have to do it and the government should make you do it.

    What an idiotic line of thinking.
    No, next you'll be building a strawman. Oh wait, you already did.

    Fair enough. Cost of schooling is irrelevant to this. Other than the fact that if you want the brightest to make that commitment, you can't think you're going to have the government own them.


    HAHA! There's the Nazi reference we've all been waiting for. A clear sign that you've lost all logical thought.

    And they have every right to do so. You're the one bringing up the Nazi's as fascism, yet that's exactly what you're asking to do here.

    If you want to have a little bit of respect for your opinions, at least know that we don't have a democracy.

    No license required. The government should be able to require you to take my money to mow my lawn. Don't be so fascist.

    Technically, you can, but it really has no impact unless the Senate votes for removal. I knew what you meant; Denny is just being anal in his details.
