I just don't get it.

Trump
is a pathological liar, probably already obstructed justice,
is a traitor,
is a sex predator,
screwed numerous customers and clients out of earned benefits,
and is probably a money launderer.
(What Have I missed?)
But yet he is still considered a legitimate POTUS by at least
40% of the country and by most of the media??
How despicable of a human being can you get?

And those supporting him are similar.

Look at the fucked up things they say about hillary, obama and other democrats while supporting this piece of shit.

Anyone want to tell me there is any non white male xtian hetero that could get away with this shit as long as he has ?

Not a fan and am dumbfounded how he has so many supporters behind him but it would be wrong of us to talk negatively about any of those people and even worse for us to pull racism and immigrants into this. Lets stand strong and be bigger and bolder together as one and not against each other.

They are negative. They are willfully ignorant. They are not people I want in my life or in the Democratic Party.

1. They do not think he is a liar. Name any lie and they will wiggle and say it is not a lie. I saw someone on a twitter thread say that he challenges liberals to name one lie and they never can. So someone stated the lie about "Obama tapping Trump's phone". The guy immediately stated that was true and not a lie.

2. They claim he is ultra patriotic, stepping away from his businesses at great cost so that he can work hard to drain the swamp, protect America and make it great.

3. They claim it is all either locker-room talk and lies by the women.

4. They don't believe that. They still believe he is a multi-billionaire and business genius and has a great grasp of economics and international trade.

5. They say that Manafort may have been laundering but it has nothing to do with tRump because the charges relate to a couple of years before tRump announced his candidacy in 2015.

In other words, they are so invested in him that they blow everything negative away and feel like they are winning.

They can feel this way because they are far-gone examples of confirmation bias. They never seek both sides to a story. They only seek stuff that pumps tRump up or that appears to knock down negative stories. Once they find something that seems to do that they stop looking and won't listen to logic or evidence or new information until one of their propaganda sources issues another workaround a new negative story.

11. Two Examples
Mon Mar 19, 2018, 07:08 PM
Mar 2018

(emphasis added)

there are three major players who have jeopardy with Russia. They are :

1.Hillary Clinton --took 145 million in bribes to help pootie get 20% of our uranium.

2. ozero--coerced who knows how many govt. agencies to OK the deal that gave uranium to Putin in a round about way.

3. Mueller--investments in the Caymans(likely ten million or more) suggest if Russia prospers he makes money,Also the Russian uranium specimen samples.Just too good.!

The only one who has no Russian connections is our President Donald Trump.

Go figure.

A lesser man would throw in the towel and live the remainder of his life in comfort. Constant lies told by the media and backstabbing by members of his own party clearly speaks to the willingness of our President to suffer for the greater good.

14. He's never been a legitimate POTUS
Mon Mar 19, 2018, 07:21 PM

And the time is nearing when everyone will be forced to realize that fact. Or continue to be bamboozled by his BS.

He wasn't legitimate on Inauguration Day and he's not legitimate now. He shares more in common with Tony Soprano than he does any other President of the United States.

He's Putin's boy. And Putin can have him in all his fleshy grandeur. In fact, he'd fit perfectly in a Mafia State which is sadly what Russia has become.

Gary Kasparov has a great but grim quote: "All countries have their own version of the Mob. Russia is the only Nation where the Mob has a country."

Perfect fit for the Trumpster and his odious acolytes.
