That’s why I have said forget impeachment. At some point he is going to step over the line and have to be forcibly removed.

Yes, the anti-constitutional coup has already taken place.

At this point, I have no idea how the Supreme Court would interpret Barack Hussein Obama's citizenship, if any. So to me, the coup consists of them not having ruled on the many cases of varying quality that have come before them.

By ducking the issue, they have caused a constitutional crisis. But wait, there's more:

Frankly, right now, I have no idea what a citizen is or isn't.
Am I a citizen because I am the offspring of two American Citizen, born in the USA? Or am I a citizen because I have a driver's license issued by a sovereign state? Beats me, and it really shouldn't.
How can the offspring of any alien, never mind an illegal alien, be a citizen of this country?
Is Canadian-born Ted Cruz a Natural Born Citizen, simply by virtue of having an American Mother?
Is Bobby Jindal a Natural Born Citizen by virtue of birth in the US of one naturalized parent and one alien parent?
Is Marco Rubio a Natural Born Citizen, even though neither of his parents is, or was an American citizen at the time of his birth?

Right now, it seems to me that citizenship (who is, who ain't, and what kind) is open to a variety of interpretations based on regulations and bureaucratic practices more than law. Now that ain't right. What I, or anyone else "believes," or "feels," is neither here nor there. Do we have laws, or not?

“I don’t think Obama as a leftist adheres to any serious principles which would make him view a coup as a terrible thing.”

Leftists know only the revolution.

There are no principles, no good things, no bad things; only the revolution.

IMHO

Joe Biden. A laughable chief executive. Anything he tries will be laughed at and ignored by congress.

Disagree. Joey Plugs, your favorite vaudevillian entertainer, is a passed master politician. He knows where every smelly corpse in DC is buried and who buried it. He is a vicious partisan fighter, with a common touch that Barry can only envy. Of course, he is a Left Wing ideologue, but of the practical wheeler-dealer 'git'er-done" type, not the artsy-fartsy Left Wing Pansy Pseudo-Intellectual type ... and he likes girls.

From an operational and tactical point of view, he would be much more effective in the job than Barry. Of course, that would be bad for the Republic! Just don't sell Joey too short. He's crazy like a fox. And, he is a dyn-o-mite campaigner.

Tell you what, Cowboy. I wouldn't be atall surprised to see HIM on the 2016 ticket!

stand up chuck...

if the Republicans had half a brain they have chronicled every malapropism that ‘plate and plugs’ Biden has ever said and are ready to flood the airways with them.

of course the Republicans do NOT have half a brain or any balls...

After learning about Hamas's plan to attach Israel sometime in September, I wonder if there was a larger scaled coordinated attack to happen at the same time in the US and other places.

Israel's vigilance just may have foiled a much larger catastrophe. Or maybe not.

That in itself is an excellent reason for removing Barky.

Cowboy, we here in the choir don't seem to ever understand that Joey Plug's song and dance is exactly what makes him the belovèd of his people.

Republicans do NOT have half a brain or any balls...

The Namby Pamby Safe Seat Party Platform is "Buenos Días! We can give you everything ... and much more ... much more efficiently than those nasty Democrats. And we're much nicer people, with 'family' values, but we love LGBT people too! We'll never ever say a harsh word because that scares the female voter, you know.

The country eats red-hot pepperoni pizza tacos with fries, and the Republicans are still serving Wonder Bread PB&J sandwiches with the crust cut off.

What will beat the Democrats? How about a A Program, A Plan, and some Leaders who can sell it. Half the electorate does not vote. Let's go get'em!

While 'Coup de Main' translates directly as a hand strike, it has completely different meanings in French and English.

In English it means a sudden strike, usually a military attack requiring surprise.

In French it means a helping hand as in "Donner un coup de main à quelqu'un" - To give someone a helping hand.

Uh oh, you’re gonna bring on the Joe-Biden-Will-Be-Worse crowd.

Joe Biden would not be worse. But Vice President Hillary "old sot" Clinton or Elizabeth "squaw" Warren might be.

I’m there Maine man. The problem is the fight first, with the GOPe. Like down in Mississippi with the GOPe getting the Dhimmicrats to vote in the repube primary.

We have a whole lot of war to fight before we fight the big war against the Dhimmicrats.

Anyone who is employed in an agency under control of the executive branch should be suspect. That includes: CIA, DOJ, FBI, NSA, DOD, DOE, DOI, EPA, FDA, ATF, IRS, SoS, BLM, and all of the other agencies not listed.

Want to see that “domestic force just as powerful as the military”? Those alphabet soup agencies are it, and every single one of them is packed with loyal leftists looking to become the next proletariat.

On international stage, Hussein is butt of jokes.

World leaders/talk show talkers will have a field day with "plugs" Biden.
