“A decline of public morals in the United States will probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of crushing political adversaries or ejecting them from office.”

Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835

28. It won't surprise to know she stole that quote

from one of several right wing commentators around mid to late Oct, in relation to the impeachment.

Just plug in the quote and they show up.

I'm trying to find links for it, but I remember it clear as day. Maybe you or someone else knows what I am talking about.

Ivanka Trump talking about a "decline of morals" and quoting de Tocqueville. You couldn't write anything this bizarre in a million years!

Odds are he never said any such thing

[greyl]

34. You are correct, the quote is fake. nt

[gratuitous]

15. Ivanka, now that you're a historical scholar and stuff

Did de Tocqueville ever say anything about the morality of a five time draft dodging womanizing fraud pardoning a war criminal? Take your time.

I did a little research, and turned up a forgotten gem that Tom Tancredo penned for the Washington Times back in 2010. He even quotes de Tocqueville, too!

I hate to give the Washington Times clicks, but here's the link just so nobody thinks I'm bullshitting.

TANCREDO: The case for impeachment

I swore an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic.”

I’ve always thought it significant that the Founders included domestic enemies in that oath of office. They thought liberty was as much at risk from threats within our borders as from outside, and French political thinker and historian Alexis de Tocqueville agreed with that warning.

* * *

Because of the power he wields over budgets, the judiciary, national defense and even health care, his regime and his program are not just about changing public policy in the conventional sense. When one considers the combination of his stop-at-nothing attitude, his contempt for limited government, his appointment of judges who want to create law rather than interpret it - all of these make this president today’s single greatest threat to the great experiment in freedom that is our republic.

Do any of Tancredo's demented rantings against Obama sound familiar? Or more applicable to your daddy's outlaw regime than the squeaky clean Obama administration? Why don't you sit yourself down and enjoy a nice steaming cup of shut the fuck up?

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. I detect a little nervousness in this Tweet......

Pretty sure de Tocqueville would not be a fan of the Trump Organized Crime Family.

[flotsam]

17. Hmmm, I wonder what else the French fellow says?

The principal object of the political tribunals of Europe is to punish the offender; the purpose of those in America is to deprive him of his authority. A political condemnation in the United States may, therefore, be looked upon as a preventive measure; and there is no reason for restricting the judges to the exact definitions of criminal law.

To condemn a political opponent to death, in order to deprive him of his power, is to commit what all the world would execrate as a horrible assassination; but to declare that opponent unworthy to exercise that authority, to deprive him of it, and to leave him uninjured in life and limb, may be judged to be the fair issue of the struggle. But this sentence, which it is so easy to pronounce, is not the less fatally severe to the majority of those upon whom it is inflicted. Great criminals may undoubtedly brave its intangible rigor, but ordinary offenders will dread it as a condemnation which destroys their position in the world, casts a blight upon their honor, and condemns them to a shameful inactivity worse than death.

By preventing political tribunals from inflicting judicial punishments the Americans seem to have eluded the worst consequences of legislative tyranny, rather than tyranny itself; and I am not sure that political jurisdiction, as it is constituted in the United States, is not the most formidable weapon which has ever been placed in the rude grasp of a popular majority. When the American republics begin to degenerate it will be easy to verify the truth of this observation, by remarking whether the number of political impeachments augments.


Gee-it seems like the fellow supports the American system although he is concerned it could be misused. But in this case it is not. Eat Shit Ivanka.

[coti]

20. She leapt right past the "abuse of power" part and only saw the "impeachment" part.

Lady, your dad is literally the WORST FUCKING PERSON IN THE WORLD.
