Speaking of Freak Out, how does that "I have a phone and a pen" sound right about now? - Granite Grok

Speaking of Freak Out, how does that “I have a phone and a pen” sound right about now?

obama-phone-penPresident Obama: ‘I’ve Got A Pen And I’ve Got A Phone’.  Translation: if Congress won’t do what I want and when I want it, I’ll just use Executive Orders”. Yeah, and the Supreme Court kept slapping them down when someone with time and money was able to use the Judiciary to stop them.

But Republicans (and not a small number of Democrats recognizing the danger of the this decision) warned that going around the Constitution would have ramifications, that the next President may well not be a Democrat.  Ha, they thought – a Democrat will be the next Prez because the GOP is only a regional Party that would never win national elections again (guess they didn’t look at Congress much).

So, Progressives, you didn’t complain when Obama used them.  How much intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy have you lined up for President Donald Trump?  Who, if he is as authoritarian as Obama (and make no mistake, President “I Won” Obama was exactly that)?  Go ahead – make a run at taking the monnikery of “The Stupid Party” away!

I have a feeling, like squirrels that run out in the middle of the road, you just won’t understand what hits you.  I have a feeling that Alinsky’s Rule #5 will get used an awful lot in the near term. Good times, easy pickings.
