Donald Fires FBI Director who's investigating Russian Election Hacking

[Red]

Unless he wins re-election and many of those crimes will have past the statute of limitations. Right now the office of the president is shielding this third rate grifter from immediately being prosecuted. If he weren’t president right now and faced the same scrutiny, he’d be in jail already

He refused to commit to recognizing a Clinton victory in 2016, if the election were close, and he had already raised the issue of voter fraud before the election, I believe suggesting it would be a factor if he lost. He transitioned to identifying it as the reason he lost the popular vote. I should think even his supporters, at this point, would not be surprised if he did not go quietly into the night. If he's to lose in 2020, a landslide loss would help.

I think trump is doing a great job of destroying his presidency himself. Even that CPAC crowd today got uneasy with his mocking of Sessions.

You are clearly just another mindless liberal clone.

When the Trump conspiracy turns out to be a big nothing burger, what will you tin foil hats turn to?

I'll follow the evidence. My track record shows it.

How many more investigations it gonna take to get you and the snowflake repubwikins ta stop chanting lock her up?

Mock a deceased war hero at CPAC and then call his widow triggered on social media to #ownthelibs

The “conservative movement” at CPAC is disgusting. Trump is just a symptom of a movement/party just completely devoid of ideas, morality, and common decency.

People might see someone like myself focusing on Trump simply embracing the flag, and they might think, "well, this is over the top Trump Derangement Syndrome". And while I can appreciate the right viewing the left as engaged in something akin to a shark feeding frenzy, there is another perspective, that sees that particular act and image of Trump at CPAC as symbolic of ubernationalism.

There's the perspective of seeing a leader that utilizes fear of "others", and a form of nationalism that's akin to fusing religiosity emotions onto "The Nation", something that was already coming into full flower in America, and now this man is a master at focusing this force. (But it's two way. The followers invest in him, identify their concerns and beliefs in him, even as he leads them with his wrecking ball mantra).

It is the perspective of always keeping one's radar up for the marriage of authoritarianism and nationalistic religiosity. It's only natural, given the lessons of history when these types of sentiments and leaders come to the fore in a nation.

What the right calls Trump Derangement Sydrome is really citizen vigilance in a democracy. All you have to do is look at the world leaders he admires to know how he sees himself. We did not establish this nation to go in that direction.

You make a compelling argument but for some their vigilance is fueled by “Trump Derangement Syndrome”. Not all citizen involvement is equal. It needs to be taken case by case.

For you it’s involvement. For some others on here it’s derangement.

Derangement implies there's an irrationality to the motivation behind a person's opposition to Trump. I really haven't seen that here. There are those who are a little more strident or abrasive in how they talk about him, but I don't think that's necessarily irrational of them.

Rand Paul sets up an interesting senate vote.



I don’t think the senate has the 2/3rds to override If/when Trump vetoes for the first time. But I wonder if this might spark more courage to resist executive overreach and for congress to claw back some of its own power?

It’s getting worse. That 2 hour gripe fest was the bitter speech of someone not mentally well. This is our president. He controls the nuke codes:









How can any rational human being watch these clips and think, “Yeah, this guy is definitely sane. Let’s make him the most powerful person on the planet”?

You would have to be a complete idiot. Sadly this country has plenty of idiots.
