Has Trump Obama and the Republicans Democrats now effectively defined the presidency as an office akin to that of an elected absolute monarch?

In other words, could any future US president now stand sit in the middle of Fifth Avenue White House and shoot somebody with a drone missile, and get away with it?
Why yes they can.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Republicans want Biden, not Sanders. So they can impeach him over a conspiracy theory:

Trump has majority support in Utah, and Mitt's family will have to heavily increase security. I don't think Romney gains nothing from this, other than knowing he did the right thing.

Obviously I meant "gains anything", but I can't edit it, damn it! :lay:

Well, thats not a nice thing to say of them... then again , when I see that caliber of humanity, I say that being a politician should be made a capital crime... no appeals.
