Oops

We know how this turns out in the end.

Good God, yes. You fall into the ditch, then you claw your way back out, get onto your hind feet again and find your way forward. This endless BEGGING from d. is the most self-pitying, self-humiliating thing I have ever seen.

Presidents are continually presented with calculated risks they have to determine whether they are in the national interest to enact. John Adams’s Alien & Sedition Acts was perhaps the first example. Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War, another. BO ordered an unending rain of drone strikes against known terrorist operators which clearly violated the standing law, but that I for one am glad he did. Etc etc. As @TotallyOz says above, it is a question of motive. Our current Executive has zippo interest in the national interest, only his own.

Clearly a metaphoric term.

Whose planet is cooked for her generation, & infinitely beyond. Way back in high school I was a chemical engineer, and we are way way way farst the tipping point.

No. It is the duty of the President to enact and carry out the decisions of Congress and of the courts, to defend the law of the land, and to ‘uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.’
