    I also sense a numbing of America. We have endured so many lies and threats from Trump - so many horribly racist and offensive statements - that he has worn down the ability of the country to be surprised. He just announced that he can pardon himself. That's a huge deal.https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/1003632989996224512 …

    I genuinely think what Donald Trump has said and done today may very well be the most dangerous low point of his administration. Other statements have been more offensive, but today he just announced to the world that he is above the law. It's a dangerous precedent.

        It's hard to be surprised when this is exactly what many of us knew would happen if this man was allowed the presidency, and here we are. The only thing that surprises and disappoints me is how Congress is sitting on their nuts and doing absolutely nothing.

        And that is a dangerous thing, when the lies become the new normal and people look on in almost passive disinterest to see what this wannabe demagogue is going to do next that is supposed to shock us. Yet my Republican friends will defend him as if his word was gospel. It's not.

        Trump could open a press conference by throwing an infant against the wall and announcing his newfound membership in the KKK -- and nobody would be surprised, and I have no reason to believe there would be any consequence. We know his character. I want to hear consequences.

        Shaun, it's a distraction. He knows he can't pardon himself. He's disrupting the news cycle. The most important thing we can do is get out the vote. There are Primaries tomorrow in CA and other states. Urge your followers to phone bank in their local elections and VOTE.

        No, you don’t. “Under the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case, the President cannot pardon himself,” – DOJ Office of Legal Counsel, 4 days before Nixon resigned.

        None of it matters though. Republicans won't do anything because he's the voice in their head that tells them to hate everyone given human form. Dems won't do anything because their base has lurched to the left and they're terrified. Nothing matters.

        He is in violation of the Emoluments Clause .. Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution. But people will not touch him, because people are getting rich from him. He know what motivates people.
