On topic after topic, President Trump made clear that he would be the arbiter of any limits to his authorities, not international law or treaties.

Its not like the American Revolution and Constitution are total rejections of this view or anything.

Remember when the bootlickers were responding, "We don't have kings in this country, we have a President."? Biggest fucking whoosh of the century so far. I'm convinced they sincerely missed the point, like they were reveling in correcting the semantics. Fucking idiots.
