The only useful powers the President has are the right to veto laws, the right to appoint certain Federal employees, and the right to appoint one or two people to the Supreme Court. These people, I remind you, act independently of the President once hired, so the idea of Presidential tyranny is a myth. TFW people don't remember the idea of Checks and Balances. C'mon guys this is like what, 3rd grade stuff here. I'm in college and they're still bringing these ideas up in PolSci classes like we've never read about them before.

WolfyAmbassador Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'm okay with Trump getting in, because I agree with some of his views even if they're not what hugbox faggots want to hear.

Toshabi Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 This is the equivalent to the Republicans crying about "AMERICA IS GONNA BECOME COMMUNIST CHINA AND WE GONNA GET NUKED CAUSE NO ONE WILL TAKE US SERIOUSLY WITH OBAMA AS PRESIDENT". OP is a baguette. That said, Toshabi endorses Donald Trump 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
