Evidently, we're still living in 1974...

... because Trump's doing exactly what Nixon did in 1974 and expecting it to work this time around.
Quote:WASHINGTON — President Trump’s lawyers have for months quietly waged a campaign to keep the special counsel from trying to force him to answer questions in the investigation into whether he obstructed justice, asserting that he cannot be compelled to testify and arguing in a confidential letter that he could not possibly have committed obstruction because he has unfettered authority over all federal investigations.
In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter — sent to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and obtained by The New York Times — contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.”

If this goes on, I can fully imagine Giuliani (or whoever ends up defending him, due to the alarming turnover in the Trump administration) saying something about Trump being "as powerful a monarch as Louis XIV, only four years at a time, and is not subject to the processes of any court in the land except the court of impeachment." And then he has to explain who Louis XIV even was to Trump. And he might even hedge his bets on the possibility of his being subject to impeachment.
And presumably, nobody seems aware that the last time they tried to pull this, the Supreme Court ruled 8-0 against it.

Honestly, the entire fucking American government system is fucking retarded. How do we keep allowing this shit to happen?
We all fucking knew Trump was a bad idea.
Only the electoral college, the fucking idiots sucking the cocks of corporations, decided to place the country in peril.
Sorry for the language, but sometimes it's warranted.

Shit-eating spasticated Mother-Corpse-Fucking Knife-in-Cunt N*gger-lynchers. Trump has earned the right to all the bad language he can get. And somehow, those words don't even come close to an adequate description of how vile the Trump regime is.

It might take George Carlin or Dennis Leary to come up with the appropriate words.

I had never heard of Bill Hicks. Interesting read on Wikipedia.

I don't think it's 1974. I didn't even exist then, and I'm pretty sure I do now.

1974 wasn't all bad. I was four years old and, by all accounts, was so adorable you could eat me up. Num num num.

I was a 15-year-old on and after May 27th. So I was a male teen with his head in another reality. I barely remember it and honestly would probably prefer to forget it. Our teen years are definitely not our best ones. There are some glorious memories of sexual conquest but honestly, it fades after a time.
There is a definite disconnect to what I am now from what I was then.
It calls into question the concept of immortality.
