Q: If Obama had gone to a "winter" or "summer White House" EVERY WEEKEND, and Michelle refused

[anneboleyn]

to move in the White House at all but demanded a huge and expensive secret service detail in Chicago, claiming that Sasha and Malia couldn't be moved to a new school, and also refused to do any other traditional First Lady duties for the first six months of the presidency except for one or two trips in which she couldn't hide the misery on her face and slapped OBAMA's hand away while carefully avoiding any touching or hugging from him,

and Obama played golf EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND rather than every now and then as many presidents have done, costing taxpayers a FORTUNE as he wandered from his own estates in Florida to New Jersey to New York to D.C. over and over and over and over,

met with foreign leaders in unsecured rooms at his "summer White House" while planning to bomb a foreign country because he saw some pictures of babies (what's happened since then in Syria I wonder? Everything okay now? ) -- also showed a distinct lack of interest in keeping such conversations confined to appropriately secure locations,

had mysterious dealings with fucking RUSSIA AND NEARLY EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH HIS CAMPAIGN HAD MET WITH/TAKEN MONEY FROM RUSSIANS, ETC.,

knew that our intelligence agencies believed, based on their evidence and evidence from foreign intel agencies that we trust, that Russian interfered with our election but never asked a question about it, treated it dismissively, had no interest in creating an investigative panel looking into the interference, claimed the republicans just made it up because they were sore losers,

Refused to ever say a bad word about Putin, even when directly asked in a major interview (but took that opportunity instead to point out that America had done "bad things" but nothing about Putin), yet freely insulted many American institutions and foreign institutions and politicians and veterans and Gold Star families -- such as our CIA, the FBI, NATO, John McCain, prisoners of war, Gold Star families, etc etc etc.,

called the FBI director a liar in front of a foreign dignitary and also bragged about firing the FBI director who was investigating him for colluding with RUSSIA,

allowed a Russian spy and official into the Oval Office while banning the American press from the meeting (Kislyak and Labrov -- Kislyak of course being a well-known spy recruiter),

Was warned by the acting AG that his nominee Flynn had highly problematic ties to Russia yet nominated Flynn for a highly sensitive intelligence-related position and did not fire Flynn until the press exposed that Flynn was under a very serious investigation,

and on and on and on...

I wonder what would have happened if Obama had done all of these things...in the first five months of his presidency no less?! Hmmm?!!!

1. Look. Republicans use a whole different standard when they have power.

Once Trump is out and a Democrat in, Executive Orders will once again become infringement on Congressional power. If a Democrat claims on national tv that the President's actions are beyond question, republican riots will break out across the country and teabaggers will go insane. If the First Lady or First Husband refuses to live in the White House and run up multimillion dollar per week security bills, republicans would be screaming for repayment to the Treasury. If the Democratic President played golf twice every three months, all hell would break loose.

2. Remember, it's okay if you are a republican

3. That's easy. The Republican House would have impeached him & the Senate would be convicting him...

as we speak. Not a doubt about it.
