President Trump Ranted About 'Getting Rid of Judges' in Another Presidential* Episode
Another vintage Oval Office moment.
BY CHARLES P. PIERCE
APR 2, 2019
Apparently, we had something of an "episode" in the Oval Office Tuesday afternoon.
Well I havent made that intention known and Im ready to close it if I have to close it. Mexico has the strongest immigration laws in the world. Nobody has stronger. I guess some have the same but you cant get any stronger than what Mexico has and we dont want people coming up on this dangerous journey and coming in. And what we have to do is Congress has to meet quickly and make a deal. I could do it in 45 minutes. We need to get rid of chain migration, we need to get rid of catch and release and visa lottery and we have to do something about asylum and to be honest with you, I have to get rid of judges.
Oh. And there were some pronunciation issues.
Meanwhile, those "rural voters" who, evidently, are the only voters that truly matter, are getting hammered all over the midwest. From NBC News:
That's going to have to change, it seems. We don't get many warnings about sudden calamities anymore and, the ones we get, we don't listen to anyway.

(1,279 posts)He does not have any idea what is in the Constitution. While he is at it, maybe he should try to get rid of the legislative branch also.
