Clintonite Robert Reich: Let’s Annul Trump’s Presidency
“impeachment would not remedy Trump’s unconstitutional presidency”
Robert Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration, has taken on a new role as a leader of the progressive resistance movement. Like many others on the left, Reich is taking unhinged rhetoric to new levels.
In a recent post on his website, Reich suggested that impeaching Trump would not be enough. His presidency must be annulled:
Don’t Just Impeach Trump. Annul His Presidency
The only way I see the end of Trump is if there’s overwhelming evidence he rigged the 2016 election. In which case impeachment isn’t an adequate remedy. His presidency should be annulled.
Let me explain.
Many people are convinced we’re already witnessing the beginning of the end of Trump.
In their view, bombshell admissions from Trump insiders with immunity from prosecution, combined with whatever evidence Robert Mueller uncovers about Trump’s obstruction of justice and his aide’s collusion with the Russians, will all tip the scales…
Impeachment would remedy Trump’s “high crimes and misdemeanors.” But impeachment would not remedy Trump’s unconstitutional presidency because it would leave in place his vice president, White House staff and Cabinet, as well as all the executive orders he issued and all the legislation he signed, and the official record of his presidency.
The only response to an unconstitutional presidency is to annul it. Annulment would repeal all of it – recognizing that such appointments, orders, rules, and records were made without constitutional authority.
Tucker Carlson discussed this with Mark Steyn last night, suggesting that the left has nowhere left to go in words and that the next thing which could happen is a suggestion of violence. Steyn agreed, saying that the left has refused to accept the peaceful transfer of power and that it is harmful to the country.
Here’s more from the FOX News Insider:
Tucker: Robert Reich Calls for Trump’s Presidency to Be ‘Annulled’, Setting a New Liberal Extreme
Tucker Carlson warned Monday on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that the rhetoric on the left is becoming increasingly extreme when it comes to many liberals’ criticisms of President Donald Trump…
Carlson said that Reich’s statement effectively calls for Trump to be “erased from history and forgotten by decree.”
“[If] reality isn’t tolerable, it should be banned,” Carlson said in characterizing Reich.
He added that ex-CIA Director John Brennan reiterated his characterization of Trump as having committed “treason,” adding that Brennan again accused the president of a “death penalty offense.”
Carlson said that Brennan and Reich show that leftist ire toward Trump has gone from calling him a racist to calling him a traitor to calling him a “non-person who must be erased from our collective memory.”
“The left is out of epithets, all that’s left is physical harm,” Carlson warned.

Reich sounds Stalin like. The Dems are slowly letting the ‘Red’ out.
LOL
Hey Dems,
Let your Communist Red union suits show!
Reich is more like Stalin’s Mini-Me.
He is the only pol who appears life-size on my laptop.
Where in the Constitution is this provision Wee Bobby Reich refers to?
Constitution? We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution.
Let’s arrest Robert Reich for sedition.
1. He’s not advocating overthrowing the government by force.
2. Even if he were, that is protected speech and therefore cannot be illegal; Congress has no authority to make it illegal. Any law that purports to ban such speech is itself seditious, since it purports to set aside the constitution.
Reich has proposed to set aside the Constitution by ‘annulling” the Trump Presidency, so by your just stated logic that is seditious.
1. He’s not proposing to set aside the constitution.
2. Even if he were to do so, that’s not illegal. It can’t be, the constitution itself protects his right to do so.
I view what Reich said as much more like saying “If we all believe hard enough, children, and Clap our Hands, then TrigglyPuff the Magick Prog Fairy will make the Bad Man go away and everything will be wonderful and everything you want will be free for the rest of your lives!!!!”
There’s as much logic and reason in that statement as there was in anything that Reich said.
Yes he is.
Yes, exactly. He wants someone (who?) to declare that the electoral college actually elected Clinton after all, and the reports to the contrary were all a big mistake. He thinks it can work just the way the Roman church can find that a supposed marriage never happened because of some flaw that was only recently discovered; or the way US courts can find that a supposed naturalization never happened because the person was ineligible. Nice theory, but not doable. Once congress counts and certifies the electoral college vote it’s done.
He’s not proposing that the constitution be set aside. Nothing in the constitution actually says what he proposes can’t be done. It’s just not the way we’ve done things for 230 years and we’re not about to start now.
Tom Servo just made me spit coffee out of my nose. You got to warn me before you make funny comments like that!
Ah, I see where you got confused. A law that purported to set aside the constitution would be seditious. That does not, of course, mean such a law could be arrested or punished!
But the authors could.
No, they could not. The constitution itself specifically forbids that.
Please look up the word ‘sardonic.’
Maybe just “annul” him instead?
Imagine if someone said this about their beloved Barrack Hussein?
Actually I said much worse about Barack and his transvestite wife, but…well, you know, nobody listened! LOL
Unconstitutional presidency is one where the person seals all of their records so they cannot be vetted, even their citizenshi!
He did no such thing.
Dear Lord help us, Michael Moore now has a clown… or clone, same difference.
It never fails to amaze me how many truly imbeciles have been in positions of power and influence.
Not quite a clone to Moore who’s a member of Meal Team 6. Reich comes up a little short.
Baby seal team 6?
You had it right the first time. Reich would actually fit in a clown-car.
A better idea:
Let’s take this insane old man and hang him by his wrists, while constitutional scholars beat him with law books….in front of camera’s! The left would melt down…
On Pay-Per-View, with proceeds going toward the national debt.
I’d watch it twice.
We just need to get him in the ring with Trump and Cruz and then have a dwarf tossing contest.
Small man’s complex.
Yawn…Sounds like Bobby’s got another book coming out soon. He doesn’t deserve this free publicity.
“Unconstitutional presidency”? Excuse me? Where was Reichhhhhh™ during the Barry Soetero usurpation?
This proves that Robert Reich is a very small man.
Have these morons given any thought to what happens after the coup! They think we’ll just take it with “Aw shucks oh well” ?
“Good morning Mr Reich, there’s been some trouble since Trumop”s removal last night. Your security chief has asked that provide a safe house till it blows over. Motorcade leaves in 15. You can call me Finn.”
What’s up with Reich’s asymmetrical eyes? He is a sad looking cretin. On nothing more than his appearance, he looks like he may have had a chronic alcohol dispensation.
Haha, he and Noam Chomsky could get a room with Fauxcahontas and live out their most bizarre fantasies.

They can bring some people from here with them, since they too have bizarre fantasies, such as that 0bama somehow managed to have public records sealed.
Obama has a lot to hide.
Technically, you are correct. Obama did not have his records sealed. However, no end of eager administrations in schools and state houses scurried to lock away any possible references to His Inevitableness on their own. Supposedly.
Amazing how that happens to liberals when they step up to public office.
No, they did not. Every record that is usually available, is available for him. Records that are not available for anybody, and no candidate usually releases, are not available for him.
“What’s up with Reich’s asymmetrical eyes?”
Off topic, but as casual observer, I’ve noticed that when asymmetrical eyes are apparent, the large eye is very frequently the dominant eye.
Annul? No, annulment is not enough, we’ll all still know it happened. No, Trump’s presidency must be expunged from history. We must build a time machine, and go back and
hack, er, change the result.Heh. So glad the Left doesn’t have a working time machine. (although at times I really wouldn’t trust our side with one either)
According to Lysenko-2 the left already invented it! Just working out the bugs
Reich is a fraud.
He knows less about elections than he does about economics, no small feat.
I’ve heard that he has very small feet.
I’m done listening to these tantrums. They have no real quarrel except that they lost the election. Suck it up and present your candidate for 2020. Then we all vote on it again. The losing side has to suck it up for another 4 years.
That’s how a representative republic works.
As someone once said….
There he goes again, shooting of his mouth, proving he is still a man of small caliber and immense bore.
Bang!
I believe that this entire “Resistance” movement is the result of social media. Without it, these protest groups would be confined to small local groups that had no national exposure. What we are witnessing is the Paul Revere syndrome of one person calling up all like-minded people to rise up and join the resistance. Trump is the first but not the last victim of this phenomena. The bad news is that since the social media is controlled by the left, the right will never get the same breaks that are in place for the Dems. Just look at the latest protest against Judge Kavannah where all of these women are wearing the exact same cloaks from the “Hand Maiden’s Tale”. We all know they didn’t do that on their own. It was probably a Soros hit job or some such funder. Like the fake polls that we continually see, these fake media protests are manufactured and if we are confident in our views, will have no effect on us.
Robert Reich, at a minimum, should be added to the ‘cannot buy a gun registry’ and placed on the TSA ‘do not fly’ list. Advocating that two years of a Presidency should be annulled is sufficient grounds to question his sanity.
A Tale of Two Presidents.
2016: Donald Trump, in a huge upset for the political Establishment and the liberal Progressives, is lawfully elected President. For the next two years, virtually every governmental and non-governmental organ in the country has done everything possible to remove him from office. There were myriad unsubstantiated, and unlikely, charges which have been doggedly investigated. Even though none of them constitutes an impeachable offense. The media has spread vicious lies about the President and his associates. Even the courts have joined the conspiracy to thwart the President’s lawful authority. And, this has become a noble cause.
2008: A charge is raised that Barack Obama may not be Constitutionally eligible for the Office of President of the United States of America by virtue of his failure to meet the definition of “natural born citizen”. Not only is this suspicion laughed off as tin-foil hut nuttery, but the Administration, the State of Hawaii, the courts , the media and the liberal/Progressive Establishment goes to extreme lengths to thwart any attempt to disprove this charge. And this in the face of simply producing Obama’s long form birth certificate, something which every other American does several times during their lifetime, to easily resolve the controversy. Do we hear any cries from the media for investigations? Is there a push to remove Obama from office? The next eight years then produce a steady run of serious Administration scandals, culminating in the HRC Servergate whitewash and the illegal surveillance of the Trump campaign. And still we have nothing but the Sounds of Silence from the establishment media and the Establishment. Also, where were the anti-Obama riots and demonstrations?
The current state of affairs, while indicative of mental illness, is also overt warfare against a large portion of the American citizenry. There has been a war waged against the middle class and a productive America for the last 40 years. It is now out in the open. And, it is going to continue. The Liberal/Progressive Establishment can not stop, or it faces ruin. The anti-American forces can not stop, of America WILL Become Great Again. Recognize this for exactly what it is. A civil war which has not yet risen to an active shooting war.
It is a civil war. Trump’s our proxy. What’s being done to him, they’d do to us. In fact are doing to us. More government and less freedom is what awaits us.
Why attribute to sedition what can be explained by stupidity?
In the case of rabid leftist it is usually more apt to attribute to delusion over stupidity.
It ain’t in the Constitution, of course. In any event Trump has already consummated the relationship, but the D’rats can’t stand how much the Body Politic enjoyed it.
Small man, small brain.
Reich, like so many of the Resisters, is crazy. There is no way Trump could have “rigged” the 2016 election, and no evidence that he did so, or that anyone else did, for that matter.
When they call election results they don’t like “unconstitutional,” they are simply rejecting the constitutional electoral process to which we are all theoretically committed.
I had an interesting discussion with my son the other night about how the election might have gone had there been no electoral college, just a popular vote. The way that the candidates campaigned would entail a completely different strategy, and in the case of states like CA and NY, where a lot of R do not even vote because they consider it a waste of time and effort might actually do so if they knew that it could affect the outcome. While the actual number of people who voted gave more to Hillarity, in a case where each vote counted, DJT might have ended up with a significantly higher number of actual votes from R’s voting in heavily D states. The D’s are complaining about the electoral college only because it went against them this time, but because of a few states it often is their saving grace
This is one bitter, petty, and arrogant Clintonista. How dare the little people inflict Trump on the country.
Reich has gone full libtard….
NEVER go full libtard….
Seriously, he’s nutz….
