Question: If the president is above the law.

[Laffy Kat]

Doesn't he become a dictator? What's the difference?

1. And not just the president - but anyone acting on his behalf as well.

This, of course, is inevitably followed not only by myriad abuses; but also by mountains of corruption.

After all, who can say no to someone with the president's blessing?

2. Yup. No Difference.

We are so fucked.

3. Ask Bush.

He got away with crimes against humanity. Obviously, he was above the law.

So, while America pretends to embrace a "rule of law", said rule seems to have a few exceptions.

Don't think for a second that Bush getting away with his crimes is lost on Trump or his lawyers.

It's not.

5. Exactly. Trump can start an illegal war and crash the economy.

Nothing will happen to him and he knows it.

4. Well, you see

He is above Dem law. Now if he actually broke Rethug law, that would be different. It's those dirty librul Dems that invented this Constitution thingy, so that is right out.

Please do not ask me what constitutes "Rehtug law". It's sort of vague, written down on cocktail napkins and hotel stationary.

6. Ask God.
