    Count on the Big Don to do something outrageous soon to change the subject ... like pardoning Charles Manson.

    Not saying I'm a huge proponent of the bathroom law, but that was more dangerous than treason? Yeah, no.

    "Again, there are various kinds of corruption. I think President Obama was personally a virtuous, admirable man. As husband and father, I’d wager that Donald Trump is not fit to touch the hem of Obama’s Dockers. Yet Obama and his administration attempted to force policies on public schools that would have permitted males in female locker rooms, and overall would have mandated observation of the gender ideology lie as if it were fact. To a lot of people, this is not corruption, it’s justice. But to many others — like me — it is profoundly corrupt, morally and intellectually, because of what it teaches about basic biological and moral reality — and in turn, how it destroys awareness of critical fundamental truths.

    I’m not asking you to agree with me that this is a serious form of corruption. I am asking you to understand that for many of us, that kind of thing is a more serious and damaging form of corruption than what Trump is said to have done with the Russians."

    I like this comment from that article.


    "The Trump campaign was apparently willing to accept illegally obtained information harmful to the Democratic campaign, in exchange for pressing the removal of sanctions against the Putin government for its activities in Ukraine and Syria once Trump reached the White House.

    Under our Constitution, it’s not treason. But cooperating with a foreign power to undermine our democracy is about as close as you can get to treason in the absence of a declared war against that power."

    Hard to argue. Though I think firing Mueller would lead to many Republicans turning on Trump. That would make him a political liability.

    On top of all this, it'll be interesting to see if the Senate can cram through this shitty healthcare bill. That could hurt them as much as the Trumps.

    A shitty healthcare bill hurt the Democrats, so there is precedent.

    BTW, the Nixon parody account is worth a follow, IMO.

    The false flag fake assassination attempt, followed by a few weeks of medical drama as Fucko recovers in splendid mysterious isolation, followed by the miraculous Reaganesque return.

    If it's not one, then it's the other.

    If every president who harmed this country --- be it arming terrorists in Afghanistan in the 1980s, creating the messes in Iraq and Libya or basically being the single greatest reason ISIS exists --- was treasonous . . . we'd have a lot of dead and/or jailed ex-presidents on our hands.

    Huge news. LOL.

    This has more to do with Mika than with Trump.
