With smarts and sass that puts many in mind of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, Sam Bee chronicles a week of outrageous presidential campaigns and debates – or business as usual, which was spectacularly halted by the tragic death of Anton Scalia. You know of course, that after a solemn moment of silence, Republicans began to tear away at the constitution, in an effort to wrest the decision of Scalia’s replacement away from President Obama.
Whatever you think of Scalia, one belief he espoused should be embroidered in the underwear of all Republican candidates. Anton Scalia believed that you should attack ideas not people. Republicans honored his memory in the Republican debate – a contentious festival of personal attacks in English and in Spanish!
I trust Sam has recovered from the shock of realizing she agrees with Donald Trump. Trump espoused women’s health care – in a positive way, while debating Cruz. I’m certain that by now Trump has changed his view to be more draconian than Cruz, and Sam is completely off of the hook.
Sam believes that the President only has three duties he can perform with the approval of no one else if that is what he chooses. According to Sam (1) He can bomb the smithereens out of the Middle East (2) He can pardon a turkey (3) He can and does appoint the next Supreme court justice.
I will add number four: He also signals the start of the White House Easter Egg Roll each year. . He has displayed excellent judgement in all four of these duties, and there is no reason to believe he won’t perform just as flawlessly and with excellent judgement in this duty as well.
