Thomas Friedman: Obama, Bush Will Have to Team Up Against Trump to End a Constitutional Crisis
Breitbart ^ | April 3, 2018 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/03/2018 11:57:40 AM PDT by C19fan

Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman speculated the Mueller special counsel probe will result in some sort of finding that will lead to a “constitutional crisis.”

That according to Friedman will lead to former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama having to step and prevent a constitutional crisis.

The Slimes' aging bright boy returns, like a dog to its vomit, to the well worn meme from Watergate coverage, in which a well managed correction of misfeasance in office was inflated by hysterical newsie idjets into the hot air balloon of "constitutional crisis."

There was no threat to the constitution at all, in fact, it worked just fine, and everything went as it should have, governance-wise. Similarly, there is no looming issue here that requires hauling out the old dead horses of the past .

As long as Friedman is posting this lunacy, he might as well suggest digging up the rotting corpse of Ted Kennedy so he could be a “legitimate authority” to deal with a constitutional crisis.

“They are ex-presidents. They have no constitutional power.
What’s he talking about? “

They know Trump has an army of deplorables that will not stand for an overt coup, obviously. That’s why the swamp is doing this coup under the guise of law. Mueller will find something, a legal fig leaf, to give to congress to remove Trump. And they will

He’s talking about controlling the narrative, keeping the peasants in line when Trump is removed.

Both Friedman and Krugman are always wrong. Why do liberals respect them so much? I guess because they like being wrong?

The disturbing part of this is that it’s being spoken out loud in a public way. We’re talking here about a duly elected president, like him or not. He’s suggesting a SP with no limits placed on him can dig around endlessly to find something, anything, to overturn the will of the people.

Friedman is expressing what a large number of ignorant people are hoping for. He’s planted a seed. That how the left brings the public along. Seeds planted here and there, outrageous at the outset, shocking even. After awhile it is repeated in a different way, and soon it’s “accepted”...

“Where in the Constitution is there a role for former Presidents?”

That old fool Jimmah Carter seems to think there is.

“While Friedman’s harmful ignorance isn’t curable, lack of jaw/neck definition can be slightly reduced by deadlifts.”

Suggesting? That’s what mueller is doing right now.

Freidman is trying to get ahead of the eventuality that Trump will be impeached and removed. “Controlling the narrative” to prevent the peasants from revolting.

I call BS on Friedman!

How far off his meds is he?

Do these insane LIEberals keep overdosing & stay up for days and weeks at a time thinking this stuff up?

Words fail me!

It won’t end well for them. East coast leftists, left coast leftists, and here we are, all of the “deplorables” in the middle.

They should read up on Sherman’s march to the sea during the civil war.

Having your backs to the ocean is not a good position to be in.

If those Uniparty shills try and overthrow our President then regrettably CW 2 is inevitable.

Especially if that bitch is still running around free.

Not only has this investigation not found anything at all to hang on Trump, parallel investigations have found substantial and documented criminal conduct by the very people engaged in the coup against Trump.

Since it will be a real CW, where it will be neighbor vs neighbor without a rear area, it will certainly be more brutal.

I think it will be a hybrid of the first Civil War with whole areas of the country seceding and some area where there is no demarcation, mostly in the blue states.

How do you get to neighbor on neighbor fighting in Utah, Montana and Kansas?
