Later, he will borrow the Supreme Court’s power, and he will rules the 2nd amendment to be null and void.

Hey Dick! That isn’t how the U.S. Constitution works, BOY! You don’t just “borrow” powah! Why don’t you read a civics book every now and then. You may learn something you idiot.

Before his first inauguration, Valerie Jarrett said that he would be “ready to rule” on his first day in office. Obviously she meant what she said.

And this Congress, including a majority of the Rs, will gladly let him, because that will give them cover while he does what they want anyway.

Good idea. The American People should similarly
“borrow” their own Constitutional powers back,
to maximize the likelihood of bringing Justice and
Law back to DC and the EXEMPT.

“borrowing power” sounds so much more reassuring than “grabbing” or “usurping”, doesn’t it?

Constitutional crisis. He’s declared himself dictator for life. What are the odds he’ll ever give up the White House? Isn’t the public’s apathy telling him it would be okay?

Since when does a dictator wannabe “borrow” Constitutional power? They take it just as the turkey in the WH has already done on many occasions.

It’s time to throw everyone one of those worthless buffoons on Capitol Hill out on their ass. We don’t need them anymore. We’ve got the Phone and Pen Messiah now. Recall all of them and send them home. Better yet, throw them all in jail for stealing taxpayer dollars and not doing the jobs we are paying them to do.

Hey “Dick”,
maybe I’ll just borrow your wife when I haven’t been
stupped in a while, oh? you want her back? I’m not
done with her yet and don’t forget to finish cutting
my lawn!
