What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Admiral Yi]

Isn't Donald supposed to be boycotting Apple?

David Petraeus shared classified info. Now can he be secretary of state?

Well, at least he didn't use private email servers, like Clinton or the Bush administration.

Flynn had an internet connection installed in his office against the rules as well.

Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!

It's amazing how Donald's politics were fossilized in amber some time in the mid-1980s, only to re-emerge now.  Wanting to re-open NAFTA, send the exonerated Central Park Five to jail, banning flag burning...

Donald has spoken out more than once against the First Amendment. Here is hoping he is lying about that at least.

Well, he did say "perhaps"

Or perhaps cookies. COMMIE COOKIES.

Bill Clinton was in favor of criminal penalties for flag burning, before the court ruled it had first amendment protection.

John Adams signed the Sedition Act.

I'm sure he's a very strong proponent of freedom of speech, as long as that speech agrees with him.

Trump needs this kind of irrelevant nationalist idiocy as red meat for the bases, as it's the only thing he's gonna throw at them for the next 4 years. My only hope is that he doesn't move on to non-irrelevant nationalist idiocy.

It is not the only thing he has said on the topic though. He talked earlier about limiting the freedom of the press.

Probably (hopefully) all nonsense.

What?  As governor?

IIRC, it takes 2/3 of Congress (both houses?) and 2/3 of the States?  It might be doable for Republican States, but I don't think the Senate is 2/3 Republican?

How would he go about limiting the 1st amendment without a Constitutional amendment?  Place the good judges in the Supreme Court, then sue every major newspaper in the country and wait until their case reach the sympathetic judges of the Supreme Court?

Yeah I lack as thorough a knowledge as Dorsey does about Bill Clinton's thoughts on things during the 1980s.
