Trump supporters clinging desperately to the fiction that...

... the 20 indictments issued have NOTHING to do with collusion, Trump or his campaign, so he's 100% exonerated! Nothing at all to see here, folks! Just a Democratic witch hunt by sore losers!

Can you imagine the screaming, the absolute SCREECHING these people would have engaged in if even ONE person connected to Obama had been indicted for so much as drunk driving?

We would have been breathlessly told that there was a Constitutional crisis afoot.

They would have wailed plaintively the White House was just CHOCK FULL of criminals.

They would have bellowed and hollered that our American culture was at stake.

They would have ranted and raved that Obama surrounds himself with bad people and is therefore a horrible person.

They would have raced into Congress - literally RUNNING - to immediately draw up impeachment papers.

They would have impeached and removed Obama. In a heartbeat.

Oh, but now we are told 20 indictments means nothing, Trump is wonderful and innocent, he knew absolutely nothing about what these people did, let's go investigate Hillary again for the 21,304,942 time, etc.

facts to the following:
Trump was always a NY Liberal, a RINO. If he had been a Really REALLY REAL Conservative, he wouldnta done those criminal things.

You watch. Trump will get impeached or indicted, and Fox will tell theyre victims he was a Liberal. And theyll happily believe every damn word of it, oh, yes brothers and sisters theyll drink that koolaid down, because it tastes sooooooo much better than the Fact-Juice that Their Chosen One was a fucking Traitor to everyone but himself.

.... these are people that, when a Republican loses to a Democrat will just scream the Republican lost because he/she wasn't right-wing ENOUGH!

So apparently the people as a protest chose the Democrat to "send a message," LOL.

3. The "What would they have done if Obama did this" argument just falls flat.

4. And that's what frustrates me to no end...

...no, not that Obama wouldn't have done this.

What frustrates me is Obama never did anything wrong (oh, maybe a gaffe or a misplaced assurance or whatever, but c'mon - it's like comparing jaywalking to blowing up a building). And they still screamed their heads off he was incompetent, a liar, a Muslim, a horrible person, so REALLY TOTALLY CORRUPT, worst President ever (despite saving the economy and country) - you name it, they hurled it at him. You were there and saw it too.

Zero indictments against Obama, 20 involving Trump but oh that's just fine. The double standards literally make me ill - as in sick to my stomach. Their guys get to do WHATEVER THEY WANT, period. Oh, and if you complain then they'll just screech lies about Hillary like deranged monkeys on LSD.

And then they fawn and gush over a disgusting cockroach like Donald Trump, who literally represents the worst of humanity, an absolutely worthless individual who I would say wouldn't even deserve the health or medical care that would save his life if he had a stroke or a heart attack, who doesn't seem to have ANY decency whatsoever, and who has apparently committed just about every crime or sin you can think of. And they tell us how wonderful he is, and nobody can prove otherwise to them. PERIOD. I truly believe he could publicly insult their mothers ("too ugly for my taste. WAY too ugly!&quot and somehow they'd manage to find an excuse to keep on revering and fawning over him.

I predict after Trump goes down hard and is ousted there is going to be a real examination in America as to how this could have come about and how these so-called people could ever have gotten into a position to foist this pussy-grabbing criminal upon us.

And how we can make sure it never happens again as their shrill little voices get stifled.

Members of his administration. I want it so simple and plain a child could understand it with no wiggle room. I know they have forgiven him or over looked a dozen different things that would have sunk another candidate/politician, but hope springs eternal that even his most loyal fans will get enough of the sh*t show, the revolving door of the White House and just never ending controversy. We know some of them are tired of the tweeting and are catching on to the fact that he is not helping them one bit. So let Mueller do his job and hope he has tRump caught up in a net so tight that no one can get him out.
