Trump CEO councils disband over President's response to Charlottesville racist violence

Pence already has his own PAC…

Among the many others out there. Does Kid Rock have one I wonder?

He is beefing up the border patrol, and apparently that covers most of the country.

You may be right, that such an action would coincide with pardon attempts, but I doubt the military would peacefully stand aside for such blatant disrespect. If he ignores the constitution in such a way, they have no obligation to respect him as Commander in Chief. A blatant militarization appeal to his base in support of such an action would be opposed at the ground level, especially if things continue to spiral downward in terms of his support (and they will).

And finally, would you really be willing to sit out if things get more thorny? Because that’s precisely when none of us can afford to.

Unless I read the comment wrong, I don’t believe the member that you are addressing lives in the US.

I see that now, thanks for pointing it out. @rocketpj I didn’t see that you were an external observer, please pardon my accusations

See, that’s the real reason he had to disband that council. So many new CEOs were showing up to take the place of the ones who left that it was getting too crowded.

At least it would show the true relationship between them.

Ivana is Czech and Melanian is Slovenian, so maybe his next wife will be Macedonian, like all the best pro-Trump fake news sites.

The military would be in a hell of a bind. A highly professional military forced to choose between its commander in chief and the constitution it is supposed to uphold. I suspect the generals would see the ‘least worst’ option as sitting out of ‘internal disputes’. The german officer corps faced much the same situation in another context (and only started opposing when it was much too late).

I’m not saying it would be easy for him, the US has a history and national mythology of opposing tyranny. I am saying there is a playbook and he will likely try it at some point. Every population has at least 20% of it just itching to get fitted for brownshirts (or khakis and golf shirts, apparently).

Most of us are not warriors or fighters. The time to oppose these things is early, not late. We are seeing the transition from early problems into blatant illegality - perhaps the mid point.

Trump: Does this side of my face look funny to you, like, I swear, it feels fuzzy.

Kelly: No, Mr. President, I see nothing different in the way your left side of your face looks to be hanging. I wouldn’t worry about it. Say, how about instead of reviewing all the positive news about you this morning, we switch things up and see what the bad people are saying.

Trump: I hate those…yes…hate…haaaa…haa…ha

Kelly: Mr. President?

Trump: Gakakakmmmmm…

Kelly: Allow me to just prop you back up now, Mr. President, and assure you that this can’t possibly be a stroke. Let me just put on Morning Joe to calm you down, and I will be back to check on you in fifteen minutes.

John “Jaime” Kelly?

Prepare to be shocked: Trump was lying when he said his winery in Charlottesville was one of the biggest in the US.

it’s not even the biggest in well-known wine state Virginia.

Could he tell a simple lie? No, it had to be a double lie: Trump Winery is a registered trade name of Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC, which is not owned, managed or affiliated with Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their affiliates
So, or he was referring to another winery, or he is actually deluded thinking that the winery is his because has his name, or the whole Trump name renting is just a trick to siphon money from companies without having to deal with debts when they go bust
