OK...if that's what we got? then i'm ready to impeach trump. But that aint what we got here. I doubt even cohen says it happened that way.
You're wrong on these points:
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse" is the way I remember it being expressed.
I do kind of like your idea, however. If it were put in practice, we'd find that hit men tended to start their careers after graduating law school & passing the Bar exam.
"I'd like you to off this guy."
"Where does he live?"
"He lives in Utah."
"I'm sorry; I'm not licensed to practice in Utah."
yeah...true...when 2 hard core criminals get together to conspire to commit crimes.
However, when a billionaire hire a NY attorney who has an office and residence in the very expensive trump tower in uptown NY the assumption is that you have a competent lawyer.
Sigh... sorry, no. The law is, in every case, meant to be independent of the individuals involved.
Then again, logic isn't your strong point, is it?

Sure. get him out. But there is strong evidence that he is in fact repairing all of those things. and I will continue to support trump.
Double sigh... it wouldn't matter if he was "repairing" all or any of those things you think need repairing (they don't). The American Revolution didn't create a new monarchy, it created a republic in which everyone is subject to the law.
But, of course, he isn't "repairing" any of those things. He has had no effect on the US economy.
The graphs show the economy sailing along independent of the President -- independent of the Presidency -- as it pretty much always does.

But to tax the wealthy efficiently and appropriately, you must first repatriate their wealth. and then punish them for removing the wealth. then tax it at higher rates.<--before any of that happens we need the wealth back in the US, a strong jobs market, a strong credit market, a strong stock market, etc....all of which are necessary to repatriate wealth from abroad.
So trump is step 1.
We'll see how far trump admin gets to see who is step 2. A guy like Bernie is about step 5 or step 6.
Your ability to come up with meaningless crapola is really over the top. If there were any money in bullsh|t you'd be forking it in.

So step 1 with trump will be to remove a lot of that power and make them more transparent to the american people. all of them. from the president on down. This stuff must be immediately available via FOIA and unredacted....
LOL. You really ought to try reading the Constitution of the United States. Or maybe take a grade school level class on US history.
I'll add that the idea of a President working to reduce the power of an executive department by way of the legislative branch is so brain dead, so ignorant, that all on its own -- let alone the other rafts of nonsense you spew unendingly from the ends of your fingertips w/ no noticeable interaction from a brain -- it would qualify you as a fool.
I was born in Chicago & lived there almost three decades; I'm back there a few times each year to visit family. Never in all my years have I met anyone in Chicago who is as big a jackass as stildropin, not a single person. & we do have some doozies.
I apologize to all here for the representation this guy makes of one of the great cities in the world, one of the great places to live & work, a place full of opportunity & with a pretty much unbreakable optimism. He doesn't represent us.
It never ends ...
