The Glumslinger posted:No, Bills of Attainder are explicitly banned in the constitution A bill of attainder is a legislative thing. Congress couldn't declare Obama guilty and/or have him arrested, but the executive certainly could arrest anyone they want if there were probable cause supporting it

mod sassinator posted:Yea, technically this law hasn't been repealed yet if I read it correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Terrorists "On June 29, 2017, the House Appropriations Committee approved Rep. Barbara Lee’s amendment to repeal the 2001 authorization for the use of military force that was the foundation of the U.S.’s post-September 11 military actions. The amendment requires that the 2001 authorization for the use of military force be scrapped within 240 days." the amendment was adopted but it has not become law yet, and might never become law (and iirc there was something about how it wasn't even binding regardless?). the 2001 AUMF is still in full force and there is (as of now) no sunset provision on it.

No. I mean, arguably under the unitary executive theory (that all executive power is vested in the president and anything that tries to seperate parts of it from his control is unconstitutional) he has that right. But if he tells people to arrest obama just because he said so that order isn't getting carried out, and a court will immediately order their release.

Beastie posted:My guess is that Trump Jr doesn't know a whole lot. While the narrative was still being solidified Limbaugh actually floated something along those lines. "He wasn't important in the campaign and had been pushed to the back of the bus and saw an opportunity to make himself relevant and actually bring something to the campaign and got suckered (by a Dem honeypot of course)", something along those lines. You see, Jr was just dumb and didn't know anything. But also in general yeah he probably knows astoundingly little. About just like, anything. Aside from what his sister's panties smell like cus I could totally see him being some weird creep like that

swimgus posted:You're thinking of Litvininenko, who got poisoned with Polonium in Britain for talking poo poo about Putin. Magnitsky uncovered a theft committed by Putin's friends of 230 million dollars from the Russian government. He was arrested in Moscow, then thrown into a terrible prison for a year and didn't receive any medical treatment for several acute illnesses, then was beaten to death 7 days before the government had to charge him or release him. Then he was charged and convicted of the crimes relating to the theft he uncovered. After he was dead. `Red Notice` by Bill Browder is about the events surrounding the Magnitsky thing. It's terribly written (it's an autobiography) but it's a pretty good look into how corrupt Russia is

In all seriousness if the pee tape exists (it does), I bet it has nothing to do with Trump having a piss fetish. Instead, it's his grudge against Obama coupled with his phobia of germs and womens' bodily fluids. Having Russian hookers pee on Obama's bed is basically just pissing on Obama in effigy, the only thing that would have made him happier is if the hookers could bleed out of who knows where onto Obama.

this morning, a russian lawyer and known operative gave an interview to an american news organization outlining a meetig she attended with donald trump jr, paul manafort and jared kushner where she described them as hungry for dirt on hillary clinton. she spoke through a translator because lol, she's loving russian. like, babushka and vodka russian. cyrillic stamp on her forehead russian. a loving russian spy. on united states television. outlining a meeting she had with the son of a sitting president on ways she may be able to help sabotage a political enemy. and that somehow was not the biggest news story of the day.
