by this evidence that all these details are getting scrutiny. We have to hurry up and get these crooks out of office, I don't think we can last until 2021. I don't think I can.

on his twitter feed, it got jumped on by 500 (probably Russian) trolls.

The House Judiciary Committee needs to subpoena the Federalist Society to find out what kinds of kickbacks and quid pro quo's they have made with the Republican Party, and Trump in particular. Other than his sister, and Judge Jeanne Pirro, Trump doesn't KNOW any judges. So, how would he know who to nominate? Because he's being fed LISTS from the Federalist Society.

I saw Matt S(ch)lapp on Bill Maher, where he claimed that Trump is so popular with 'conservatives' because he delivered on his promises, one of which was to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem, and to appoint a boatload of activist judges. True enough, but he did the exact opposite of his BIGGEST election promise. To DRAIN THE SWAMP. He didn't drain it, he filled it with every goddam alligator, snake, and leech he could find.

This is a case of the ultra right riding the Trump train as far as they can. Useful idiots.

This one part of the trump legacy is going to leave a mark. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if his presidency were found to be illegitimate? And in that light, these appointments grandfathered in?
