How does that saying go?
The United States can always be relied upon to do the right thing ā having first exhausted all possible alternatives.

Fraudulent election; fathom that.
But I love how they kept repeating the term MoscowTrumpā¢.
That should be how heās referred to from now on.

itās odd that the author is not primarily a reporter, but someone who writes about āagile managementā techniques.
that said, it seems a pretty good break down of things. and, it leads me to wonder if the presidential bid was primarily about trying to get trump moscow built, and thenā¦ oopsā¦ he got the nomination.
that would put his family in this place where they have a whole lot of lying to do about their pre-nomination activities, which is exactly what weāve seen.
one other tid bit i heard recently was about how trump was one of the people to start the fear mongering over ebola ( https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/386616-how-ebola-entered-the-american-consciousness-a-trump-tweet )
a russian powered bot factory doubtless boosted those racist tweetsā¦ so i wonder how far back the collusion between trump and russia goes.

Not odd for Forbes, which seems to have become a blogging platform.

Moscow Trump -Endangered subspecies of genus Moscow Jackass in phylum Useful Idiots. Not related to the Moscow Mule, which is a popular tipple in the Washington beltway and beyond.
How to make a Moscow Trump:
Ask the bartender for a Moscow Mule. Dump it on the floor because you donāt drink. Refuse to pay.
When Chris Christie gets back with your food, empty the contents of the Whopper meal and the Blizzard Deluxe into a blender and purƩe until smooth.
Serve in an oversized, ersatz-gold highball glass, garnished with corruption, falsehood, and a ketchup packet.

āHe did it. You deserved it.ā?

Sure, we can. āWill TPTB indict him?ā is the real question.

Missed my /s tag. I actually find the argument that you canāt indict a president to be one of the craziest ideas Iāve ever heard. I donāt think the UK can indict the queen. But didnāt you guys fight a war to get away from that or something?

Right! Isnāt the whole point of rule of law mean that no one SHOULD be above the law?
Although in the UK, the monarch is subject to some laws, yeah? I mean, the whole point of the english civil war in the 17th century was over who had power in the government, the monarch or parliamentā¦ the power of the monarch has been slowly diminished ever since yeah? Doesnāt mean the Queen can be indicted, just that even she isnāt entirely above the law.

I think if the Queen stabbed someone in the back in broad daylight and then refused to abdicate it would put the UK into a āconstituionalā crisis. But I think the crisis would be figuring out how to arrest the queen without blowing up their legal system. I donāt think thereās any doubt that if it really came down to rule of law vs. rule of monarch that parliament would come out on top.
That said, upon becoming monarch your soul fuses with the crown to form a mysterious holy-trinity-esque separate-but-the-same dual being. The monarch is the law. In America, when you get dragged into court for a criminal charge the case is filed as āThe people vs. [you].ā In Canada (Iām not sure the UK is exactly the same, but itās basically the same) we tend to write āR v. [you]ā. R being regina or rex as the case may be.
This is what baffles me about the āno indicted a presidentā thing. Sure, it doesnāt make sense to bring up āR v Queen Elizabethā because thatās literally āQueen vs. Queenā. But āThe people vs. Donald Trumpā doesnāt have the same problem at all. There may be a mystical fusion of the president with the administrative branch of government, but thereās not mystical fusion of the president with the American people.

Nah. It was an upper-class tax revolt, primarily fought by mercenaries and French royalists.
