So Let Me Fucking Get This Straight...

[berni_mccoy]

Peter Strzok, a decorated FBI Agent who dedicated his life and his career to FBI service and who for years was the Head of the Counter Intelligence Division of the FBI who has caught many and some of the most devious Russian spies in our country, PRIVATELY expressed his opinion about the election: FIRED FROM HIS POST.



Matthew Whitaker, a hyper partisan whose media firm was sued by the FCC for fraud and whose political organization (FACT) was a contributing architect of the email scandal of Hillary Clinton as well as a feeder of talking points to RW Media, who has many times publicly echoed Trump's words "No Collusion" and how to dismantle the Mueller Investigation in a way to get around obstruction of justice is ILLEGALLY PROMOTED to Acting Attorney General overseeing said Investigation. (for more info see this wiki )



Does Trump even know what Mueller already has on him? Because based on the above, I don't think he has a fucking clue.

1. I'm with Samuel L. Jackson!

[Little Star]

2. I only wish I could post this on my FB page, it's....

a great post!

[berni_mccoy]

3. There is a FB button on every OP

:-D

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

6. Please tell me where...

The FB button is. Sorry but all I see is a link to the OP’s info, a link to the OP’s journal, then send the OP email, and a block button.

I’m confused cuz that button would be real nice.

[berni_mccoy]

7. Sure

At the bottom of the post (just above the sig-line graphic of Trump as Illegitimate, there is a blue button that says 'Like' with a thumbs up graphic. if you click that, it posts it on FB.

[skylucy]

27. Oh my gosh! I didn't know that! I've wanted to post things from DU to my Facebook page before

and didn't know how to do it! Thank you!!

[Grasswire2]

33. it posts to your own FB page?

How does DU know what your FB page is?

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

39. Thanks, berni...

Did not have it turned on.

[backtoblue]

8. Go to your account and change settings

So that the fb, Twitter, et al show up.

4. He likely doesn't really know, plus, he doesn't care.

In Trump's mind, Trump is brilliant and everyone else is stupid. He has tried to convince himself of this that he almost believes it. He is desperate to avoid appearing weak so he will do whatever he thinks will prevent it.

I think that he bit off way more than he could chew in becoming president. He was able to get away with a lot given his minor status in New York real estate and the backing of mobsters. As long as someone was getting money, people were okay. He is now expected to perform for the citizens of the US, but he isn't smart enough or capable enough but he is so locked into his cycle of trauma and need to be seen as strong, that he doesn't know anything else to do.

It will be an epic crash and burn. The only thing that is keeping him afloat is that in the US we do not like to see powerful people and our institutions suffer the indignity of common justice.

16. K&R for truth. Same as with the stock market (where fear rules).

I like to boil it down to the basics: Trump was elected to be a public servant. Neither he or anyone in his cabinet or staff has any concept of what that means.

Serving others would be completely like anti-matter to his personality.......

[calimary]

18. That's a great way to put it,KY_EnviroGuy.

That's exactly what these people are: self-anointed "aristocrats." Do they even GET how - when you run for public office, you are running to become a PUBLIC SERVANT???

[Hortensis]

25. Exactly.

As for the electorate, one standard for both sides is a simple rule we can all use to check for partisan toxicity.

[Caliman73]

31. Truth.

He has never had to be of service to anyone in his life. He appears to lack the ability to empathize with or even bond to any other person. Everything is utilitarian to him.

[Corgigal]

34. Should never have run.

I wonder why his family couldn't rein him in. He had a good con running and he could live the rest of his life being a carnival barker.

The only thing I can think of, is he's broke. His biggest fear.

[Caliman73]

38. Quite possible.

A combination of factors including his ego (he could not take being called out by President Obama) and his money situation. It looks like he may have been put up to running by figures in the Russian oligarchy and government who know that he would never make good on the loans they gave him so they needed some other way of compensation.

I don't think that he really thought he was going to win.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. One thing positive regarding this shitshow, Caliman....

is that everyday people are getting at least a peek into the dark underbelly of corrupt wealthy segments of our world and their complex hidden relationships - in part thanks to Trump taking public office. The tangled webs of oligarchs, bad banks, hidden overseas funds, secret deals and colluding corrupt public officials is mind-boggling. It's no wonder the average worker can no longer get ahead.

I believe if one were to completely document just the corrupt wheeling and dealing history of Trump's family (including Fred), it would fill a small library.

Let's all hope we learn a lot from this and use that knowledge to build a better future.......

[Scurrilous]

5. K&R

[malaise]

9. Brennan lost his security clearance for criticizing the Con on TV

And on Twitter

Go figure

[leftieNanner]

15. I don't think he actually did

Orange Ass Face threatened to take Brennan's clearance away, but never did.

Mean and Stupid. Bad combination.

[SHRED]

10. K AND R!!

[Leith]

11. Yeah, You Got It

IOKIYAR and your lips are planted firmly on his cottage cheese ass.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

46. Ewwwwww

[aeromanKC]

12. #MAGA

Make America Germany (circa 1930's) Again

[BigmanPigman]

13. The big question: How do the Dems get rid of him?

Do they file charges, do they take it to a judge to decide, etc. What is the legal and realistic way we can get rid of him ASAP?

[erlewyne]

14. I do not like using the f-word.

TICK TOCK MUTHAFUCKA!

Is like Pocohonas (I love Pocohonas).

So Pocohanas sez to Trump, "TICK TOCK MUTHAFUCKA!"

I know I am a hypocrite but I get trapped by trumpsters
and start acting like them.. apologies

[SMoss]

17. We have a dictator

A mango Mussolini.

[calimary]

19. Welcome to DU, SMoss!

I'll say one thing for him - he does inspire creativity. Some of the signs I saw last night at the local #NobodyIsAboveTheLaw rally certainly prove that. Since it was going to be after dark, several people created big signs framed with battery-powered lights! Little lights in ALL colors, including white. Must be a metaphor in there somewhere...

[FiveGoodMen]

20. We have 100,000,000 fascists that gave us that dictator and are still happy about it

This is way more than a swamp that needs draining.

We're swimming in a sea of evil and still will be no matter who wins in 2020.

[A HERETIC I AM]

23. It wasn't 100,000,000. It was just under 63 million.

and the total number that voted AGAINST him was 73,684,448.

TEN MILLION MORE Americans voted against him than voted for him.

Ten fucking million.

[FiveGoodMen]

26. Approval polls always in the 30-40% range

That's one in three or at least 100,000,000.

Unless you don't believe that polls yield meaningful results.

[A HERETIC I AM]

30. Depends on who they poll.

If it is eligible voters, then it isn't 100 million. It's close, I'll give you that.

21. Brings to mind this from the Kavanaugh hearing:

[Control-Z]

47. I don't think I've ever watched a video

as many times as I've watched this one. It is so good! So good.

[elmac]

22. OT, this will be my last post and last time I will visit DU

do to all the bashing of progressives on this sight I believe it has been pretty much taken over by putinites.

[rzemanfl]

29. That's a shame, but I won't miss your spelling. n/t

[Corgigal]

35. Damn, that's cold

plus funny. Why I stay.

[rzemanfl]

36. That was my intent.

[OneGrassRoot]

37. LOLOL. n/t

[Iggo]

40. Matt Whitaker's a progressive now? Who knew?

[Pepsidog]

24. A reckoning is coming....

[Honeycombe8]

28. He needs to be gotten out of office. I say "gotten," 'cause he ain't gonna go willingly. nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

32. k&r & tick & tock

[Wawannabe]

41. You forgot to add

That stupid shit Rosenstein said about Whitaker.

[olegramps]

48. Not surpirised; he is a Republican appointed by a Republican.

[krakfiend]

42. K & R

[jimlup]

43. I hope so but I am not confident

Trump is more powerful than we like to admit. And he may be able to disarm the Mueller bomb.

[Initech]

44. If we need any more proof that he's guilty, this is it!

The words "abuse of power" come to mind.
