This is NOT a new yorker cartoon, it comes from Herbert Block the dean of political cartoonists and the Washington Post editorial cartoonist for 50 years.

I've never seen people this mad at a President for reducing the power of his own branch of government. Utterly bewildering.

I've never seen the right wing so blatantly grasping at conspiracy theories and casually overlooking treason by a president.

Treason is very specifically laid out in the Constitution. What treason are you referring to?

I don't know. The constitution never said anything forcing citizens to buy a product by labeling it a tax. But we sure got obomacare.
smittywjmj
What's really fun is "mandatory memberships" like ITAR. You can negotiate taxes with the IRS, but not memberships.
squirlfood
Bottom line if a man buys something for himself he cares about cost and quality but if he buys it for another with their money not so much.
alostgeneration
SCOTUS has already handled this. The majority of obamacare is constutional under the governments right to tax
Dontgotolawschool
SCOTUS also held that growing you own wheat is interstate commerce. Wickard v. Filburn. Sibelius was an outgrowth of that bad decision.

Funny fact, this has been done in us before, in 1700s for sailors, mandatory health insurance.

MisterWiggler37
Was that just for sailors though? We also have mandatory driver's insurance for car owners.
Dontgotolawschool
You don't want to be a sailor in the 1700's. You don't want to be treated by 1700's doctors, either.

You guys in murica would not like universal health care even if you got it apparently, despite being far better than what you have currently
squirlfood
You are right. I want to get value for my money spent on medical costs. That is impossible in any burocratically managed system.
modus0
Does your country tax people for not having insurance? Because under the Affordable Care Act the US did.
themadgeographer
Also if you dont carry insurance, you make my insurance go up, and since the goverment subsidizes it they tax you to account for that rise.
themadgeographer
Their country just pays for everybodies medical care

If 1% mooched they wouldn't want it even if it directly saved them money and gave them better healthcare. They would sacrifice both to/
cyanidkatharsis
Well, let'st start with the saving me money, cause that did NOT happen. Or, at least better coverage with the cost hike. Nope, that neither.

do you have universal healthcare?

I liked helthcare before government mismanagement made insurance vital. I prefer medical shares that circumvent insurence and government.
HolyCringeLordBatman
Oh hey look, delusion.
squirlfood
You are right. Government incentivsed insurence that created an upward spiral in prices was better than the preexisting market conditions.
HolyCringeLordBatman
You're right, fuck anyone with a pre-existing condition

When trump said he had a recording of a conversation with Comey my first thought was that he should read up on Nixons presidency
Barbarian90001
Guys, can we at least all agree it was totally a "Russian Collusion Conspiracy" and not a populist movement sweeping Europe and the US.

Trump and reading... Maybe he'll listen if you serve it to him as an audio book, spoken with his voice.

The way Nixon's crazy worked was like if you and him played chicken in cars, he would throw out his steering wheel, knowing you knew you
CityYeti
would have no choice but to turn. The way Trump's crazy works is that he would throw out the steering wheel while at the same time
CityYeti
not knowing what the steering wheel does. I heard it put this way in an NPR interview. Funny stuff
NotThatJoeYouKnow
because if you are going to make stupid mistakes they should be unique and contemporary mistakes
CristhianIR
Comey's book is set for release in a short time.. That'll do
Duendes
Can't wait to hear Trump pissing in the other room (that's right, Nixon forgot to stop the recordings frequently).
NotThatJoeYouKnow
frankly the recordings were so comprehensive it was missing time in them that made people know he was up to something

I'd like to point out that guy resigned under threat of impeachment... so there's hope.
Thisusernameisalreadyinusefuckyou
He's way too stubborn to resign. But if impeached he'd claim he nerver was president.
kimikkyo
And then was pardoned by Ford, I expect the same again
aleister94
Yeah but trump doesn't have a good a grasp on reality as this guy did, if he is impeached they'll probably have to physically drag him out
literallyacunninglinguist
I'd like to point out that slick Willy was actually impeached and stayed in office. So did Andrew Johnson.
kr18
Yeah but we need a willing Congress to do so as well
Piscivore
Trump isn't intelligent or self-aware enough for that. At least for all his faults, Nixon was shrewd.
ReasonableConservative
Billionaire real estate tycoon. International recognition. Ran the election table. Knockout wife. The questionable intelligence is yours.
maniacalmacaroni
He lacks the shame gene. People keep thinking he has some sort of lower limit at which he will finally stop. There just is no such limit.
NotThatJoeYouKnow
Nixon also liked personal control and set up his Whitehouse so he could micromanage... and record everything.

That's because his own party was warning him that he would be impeached. In the present case, no matter what Trump does, GOP is with him.
grimbor
And Ford gave him a pardon for any crimes he may have committed. Anyone gonna do that for Trump?
Aaronspark777
Considering how much worse everyone below trump is policy wise i wouldn't be surprised if they pardon him.
StoptheInfamousElGuapo
Trump hasn't done anything wrong enough for impeachment
ctsdad
Anything is impeachable if Congress wills it, this is not criminal law. So here we are, and he's still here.
Beekerseeker
I think you have missed too many news cycles. It is not looking good for him.
charlottadupont
It's not that he's missed them, it's that his sources are questionable enough that he thinks what he said is correct.
