Donald Trump's most bone-chilling tweet
CNN ^ | February 4, 2017 | Dean Obeidallah

Posted on 02/04/2017 6:59:36 PM PST by EveningStar

On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump may have unleashed his most bone-chilling tweet -- at least to those who believe the United States should not become a Trump-led dictatorship. And I don't make that comment simply to be provocative or without giving it a great deal of thought. Our democracy is far more fragile than some might grasp and Trump is engaging in a concerned effort to undermine the workings of it.

Here is Trump's truly jaw-dropping tweet from Saturday morning: "The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law-enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!"

Why is this so concerning? It's OK to argue about whether the judge should or shouldn't have issued this order. But Trump is apparently attempting to delegitimize our federal judiciary by calling Judge James Robart, a George W. Bush-appointed judge, a "so-called" judge while arguing that his decision is "ridiculous."

Let's be blunt, because the stakes demand it: An independent federal judiciary is our last, best hope at preventing Trump from violating the US Constitution and illegally grabbing power. And Trump has to understand that, hence his attempt to undermine it.

Trump was blunt. The situation demanded it.

And I will be blunt too. In the midst of political riots not allowing someone to speak and your network giving cover to the rioters by claiming the speaker was a "white supremacists" when he is nothing even close to one--your concern with Trump calling out absurd judicial activism to obstruct him from exercising his power in a way other Presidents have and he is explicitly empowered to do as something "bone chilling", exposes you as a fraud rather than a journalist. You seem more interested in indulging a rabid desire to hate those you disagree with and divide the country than in objectively reporting the news.

Poor little cnn got triggered before they could find their play doh, puppies, teddy bear, and safe space. Oh the agony! Oh the trauma to their mental well being! Oh what bullshit!

CNN should be ostracized and scorned every chance we get.

If they are not mature enough to see Trump is just being Trump and fighting back publicly then they shouldn’t be in business at all. I think we all know they knew exactly what he meant and his character and how he does things. They just don’t like it so they make up this nonsense.

Was out all day. Just came in and turned on CNN to ser what the latest dnc talking point was. Actually was surprised. The dnc line has changed since the am. A new memo has gone out. The dnc lawyers have told the media whores that Trump will win the appeal. So the new talking point for the Sunday shows will be that this ban was similar to Obama’s but trump did a horrible job of explaining it because he is a moron. They are preparing thier base for a quick appeal trump victory.

This guy is flipping out over a tweet, saying President Trump is ‘delegitimizing’ the Federal court system by disagreeing with a ruling.

Yet what has CNN done, nonstop, if not trying to delegitimize Donald Trump? Day in. Day out. Lies, even. Anything they can.

Furthermore, do you want to hear TRULY bone-chilling quotes?

Valerie Jarret: “After we win this election, it is payback time. For those who supported us, there will be rewards, for the ones who opposed us, they will get what they deserve. There will be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. With no election to worry about, we have two judges ready to go.”

Nancy Pelosi: “We have to pass it [Obamacare] to find out what’s in it.”

Barack Obama: “Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.”

As usual, the liberals and Democrats inform us of their intent by what they accuse others of planning or doing.

The lefties can refer to Donald as a “so-called” president. Nobody hooted them down for that.

Very interesting. Someone should be assigned to monitor enemy transmissions so we know their plans.
