Any lawsuits against Herr Drumpf filed over the 'Emoluments Clause' yet?



I was at the local library the other day and someone mentioned this exact thing as a possibility.

There has been LOTS of concern expressed claiming that since Herr Drumpf is now president he is now in violation of the 'Emoluments Clause'.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Of course he is.  Neither he nor his supporters care because they don't believe in the Constitution anyway.

BAHAHAHA!

Another thing is that from the shots that I saw, nary anything but disgruntled white folks seen in the crowd.

I did see several having the 'religious' experience hearing and viewing their 'Mighty Whitey' jee-zus, though.

Oh they believe in their flawed assessment of the Second Amendment for certain - and for anything they think furthers their crackpot idea of State's Rights.   :wink:

While watching the inauguration I wondered how the crowd compared and looked it up images for it.  Wow.  Guess he was disappointed not more showed up.

I have never seen anything in my lifetime that compares to the peaceful protests we are seeing today against Drumpf.  The hatred toward this man is well deserved and it is worldwide.

He may very well be in for some deserved comeuppance for the vote he cast.

Sean Spicer's attack on the press yesterday was chilling.

Someone should buy him a suit that fits so he doesn't have to go on national television in his big brother's hand me downs.  :biggrin:

Yeah I was taken aback by his outfit myself.

Did you see Kellyanne Conway state this morning that he was presenting "alternative facts?"  :roll eyes:

Someone needs to inform that bitch that another word for "alternative facts" is lies.
