NYT warns Trump is tearing at "fabric of this country," could become a "lawless" king
Fox ^ | 5/13/19

Posted on 05/13/2019 11:40:15 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

A fiery New York Times piece has claimed President Trump is clawing at the "conventional fabric of this country" and "may well become the first American king, lawless and unaccountable."

The piece, penned by columnist Charles Blow for the outlet's Sunday edition, issued the dire warning to readers amid the administration's ongoing battle with House Democrats in the aftermath of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

"We are drifting dangerously close to an imperial presidency that exists above and outside the rules we thought were designed to prevent such an occurrence," Blow wrote.

Blow backed his extreme warning by pointing to the letter from hundreds of former federal prosecutors, who said they believed Trump would have been indicted by Mueller for obstruction of justice if he weren't president.

"Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice," the prosecutors' statement read.

Blow said the "only avenue" for Congress is impeachment, but Republicans "have declared Trump their king and bowed to his maleficent majesty," while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Ca., has been "overly cautious" of pursuing impeachment.

Blow said as the 2020 presidential election draws nearer, he fears Democrats will be more wary of impeaching Trump.

"Trump may well become the first American king, lawless and unaccountable, by default, by an overall political paralysis," he concluded.

The piece comes after a writer for the Times, which Trump often accuses of being biased against him, last month backed one of the president's signature policies -- his border wall.

Hey CHARLIE!

"tearing at "fabric of this country," was the agenda of Barack and Hillary.

We're fine now.

Actual title: “New York Times continues to claim that the media frenzy and non-stop hysteria generated by the press, dividing country is not their fault, it’s Trumps.”

Barrel makers were named Cooper.
Metal workers were named Smith.
What’s the origin of the name Blow?

What’s tearing at the fabric of the country is the leftist movement which has refused to accept the legitimate results of the 2016 presidential election and has done all it can to obstruct the man elected in doing what he was chosen to do and to disenfranchise sixty-plus million Americans who voted for him - that’s what’s tearing at the fabric of the country......

‘tearing at “fabric of this country,”’

Were any examples included? It is odd to me when this type of stuff is posted - I cannot figure out what the authors are talking about - what tearing? what fabric?

Does anyone know?

Wonder what Blow thought about Barry saying he didn’t have the authority - and then did it anyway.

The media is shamelessly trying to start a Civil War in this country and doesn’t care who knows it.

When are these people going to be held to account?
