"TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY."

`

Suggesting that our nice, painstakingly crafted over centuries system of law works *against* determining certainty?

::exasperated teacher voice::

Why, Stephen Adolph Miller, I am VERY disappointed in you!

If you're gonna go Orwell, you must go Full Orwell, and just come right out and say, "WAR IS PEACE".

"TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE WITH “GREAT BUT SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT.”"

`

Here's the thing, though.

We already have a system for determining good from bad, and have for 200 and some years.

It consists of the laws and the court system.

If it's not going your way right this minute? *shrug* I guess you just have to live with great but slightly imperfect.

Several of Popehat's followers pointed out that there are no misspellings and punctuation is used more-or-less correctly, and so it looks like PAB did not write this one himself. I'm sure he *told* someone to post it for him, but I doubt he posted it, or even dictated it verbatim.

I would not trust even Jimmy Carter with that kind of unchecked power.

Well, he actually IS too old to be President, I think.

I don't think Trump is capable of composing those rweers. I think his bathroom has a two holes and Stephen Miller is his dump buddy.

"Indictment" is spelled correctly. There's no egregious punctuation errors. There's no way he personally wrote or posted this one.

Trump has won with no immunity all his life, what's he worried about?

I just read about Trump's disgraceful behavior in the NYC courtroom where a jury will decide on E. Jean Carroll's damage amount.

Trump was found guilty of jamming his fingers up Carroll's vagina. Don't delete this comment, Wonkette, even the WaPo didn't delete because it accurately describes the crime. Your readers should be able to handle the truth.

Ex President Filthy and Guilty is making a scene, hoping the judge will throw him out of the courtroom to create more outrage from his cult.

I know I shouldn't be surprised at this, but two Trumpy friends I have both react the same way to him. They act as if he's a harmless but lovable goofball who sometimes says stupid things. The kinds of things where you do a face-palm, but let it go, because he has so many wonderful redeeming qualities.

After years of this, I still cannot wrap my head around it.

I want Handsome Joe to go on television and say "you know, I thought about this Presidential immunity thing and I think it's a great idea, which is why I ordered an air strike on Mar-a-Lago thirty seconds ago."

No, no, we can't destroy Mar-a-Lago. When Trump goes, the President can deny him resting in state in the Rotunda because of that whole insurrection thing. His faithful, the people he wanted nothing to do with in life, will then have to shuffle through Mar-a-Lago to view the great man resting in state.

Some of them may even smear feces on the walls in a show of respect.

"great but slightly imperfect" certainly explains his admiration for Hitler, Kim, Putin, Erdogan, et al.

I never hear the name "Nixon" mentioned in any discussions of PAB's ravings. He sure as hell wasn't considered to have innate immunity, Ford had to pardon him to avoid any prosecution.

"You just have to live (or in many cases, not live) with the great but slightly imperfect" - fixed it for him.

Trump using “him/her” for a President like a common ANTIFA!
