Trumping LGBT -- Emoluments Clause

Here is an interview Judith Butler did with Zeit Online:

Julia Serano has views on Trump too:

I made a comment on Serano's blog, but now I'll be damned if I can find it. Essentially it was a observation about the Post-Modern condition, that deconstruction of discourse is what is going on. Also the commodification of the Executive Branch (President) -- I expect Trump to turn the White House into a "Trump Brand" domicile/tower.

Impeached or assassinated -- You read it here. As soon as Trump takes the oath he is in violation of the Emoluments Clause:

Constitution the Emoluments Clause of Article I, Section 9 – It
prohibits any “Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States]” from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."


Trump will ignite a reactionary groundswell of populist resistance. Let us not forget that this clown DID NOT win the popular vote. (Lost the popular vote by the largest margin ever to win the White House). Despite what he asserts (depending which way the wind is blowing) Trump DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATE.
