Wow! Trump says Mueller probe was an 'attempted takeover of our government'

[mobeau69]

President Donald Trump railed against special counsel Robert Mueller's now-completed investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election on Wednesday, calling it an "attempted takeover of our government."

"We can never allow this treasonous, these treasonous acts to happen to another President," Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity, in his first TV interview since Attorney General William Barr summarized the principal findings of Mueller's report in a memo to Congress on Sunday.

1. K&R, There's also a KGOP whisper campaign that Mueller knew there was no collusion in 18 ...

... and that makes Mueller a bad guy.

The Mueller report must be bad for Red Don

3. Yep. There's some shit in there that they can't let see the light of day.

The question is now, will the truth out.

4. He needs to be in a psychiatric ward.

Shame on those around him who are failing to have him committed.

6. This is getting fucking scary.

5. He is always projecting

12. Exactly.

Trumpy is gaslighting to set the pretense for suspension of the Constitution. He says that (unidentified) officials are committing treason if they favored the investigation. He says that they need to be punished. He says that they are trying to pull off a coup, then that is exactly what he did. So he's gaslighting and lying to insulate himself from being perceived as the agent who is doing exactly what he is accusing others of doing. How he thinks that this is clever is beyond reason, but he's beyond reason. Anyway, there's a strong likelihood that his Fanboys will go balls to the wall in backing him up and showing their hate for Trumpy's opponents. That's what this is all about. By making these outrageous allegations, he's keeping his base unified and ready to follow his orders. He has no interest in any reality test of his allegations. He doesn't have to. He has his Fanboys to validate every lie he utters.

I wonder how many of his dyed-in-the-wool Fanboys are using the ACA for their health needs. I suggest that his Fanboys be taunted into quitting their ACA-linked health insurance and go without, as a powerful way to show their support for their Trumpy.

20. How many are like this guy from January 2017

[catrose]

18. My first thought

[msongs]

7. if one says it often enough people will believe its true (to paraphrase republican mein kampf) nt

[Maru Kitteh]

8. Translation: He will seek grossly expanded powers in the name of "future presidents"

He is egomaniacal enough to try to suspend the 22nd amendment if he believed get away with it.

[KPN]

9. He must be really afraid of the Mueller reporty

finding the light of day.

[BootinUp]

10. He's the LAW! (Use a Sylvester Stallone accent)

[spanone]

11. he has tremendous illusions of grandeur

highly unfit to serve

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. that would be "delusions" of grandeur.

Although he could also conjure up illusions.

IMO, the nation is on the precipice of complete disintegration. The GOP is STILL backing up this crazy man who is doing all he can to become a dictator. This is serious. The GOP is doing nothing to stop him, and many are doing a lot to enable him. The GOP, nearly as a body of politicians, is truly seditious and revolutionary in their enabling of Trumpy to take sole control of government.

Yes, the Dems can do their duty in the House, but they are the ONLY bastion of rationality left in all of the structures of government. Trumpy has taken over everything else. Maybe parts of the Justice system are still active, but parts of the DOJ is now proving to be under the thumb of Trumpy. This is terrible news that's getting worse by the week.

Some of the Fourth Estate are relentless in their pursuit of Constitutional government, but Trumpy has his own network of gaslighters in electronic media. And they are very powerful. Let's face it, folks. This is already an epic battle, all being played on Twitter and Fox News. And it's not clear whether or not Trumpy's opponents are winning control of government. Indeed, there is a lot of evidence suggesting otherwise.

15. Traitor-tot Trump, treasonous and complicit.

[RHMerriman]

16. Trump appointed Sessions; Trump appointed Rosenstein...

Trump appointed Sessions; Trump appointed Rosenstein...

So apparently this is yet more proof - after Flynn, Manafort, Gates, Cohen, etc. - that Trump has no managerial expertise when it comes to hiring people.

Thanks; good to know.

What a fucking idiot. He HIRED all of these people.

[kentuck]

19. He projects in panoramic metrocolor.

What a dangerous demagogue!

21. Erdogan wanna be

22. He knows the Barr Report was favorable to him, right?

The idiot doesn't have enough sense to shut up. If he keeps it in the news it's going to be so much worse for him when we get the Mueller Report.
