It seems SO long ago that we had ADULTS in the WH. No family ruling the show, no former escorts, no plastic duck-lipped females. We HAVE to get back to sanity soon.

3. Trump's Decided He Has To Use Racism To Win....

in November. He feels - using his go to whipping boy (Obama) will help him maintain his base supporters who have begun abandoning ship because of his incompetence of handling this virus.

So he figures he could keep them on his side if he appeals to their racism.

When Trump starts dealing in facts, we can talk. This is obviously the word that entered his "very good brain" at the moment, and he had no idea what he was talking about...he was doing his normal word salad.

And he didn't even try to hide it. Even the name was "conserva"-something. Seemed to think "Obamagate" was a thing. I guess he decided to go big with his first post.

There is, of course, the classic Obama-Gate:



Then we have the Obama-Gates:



We can also admire the Obama-Gait:


At times external forces have influence on the Obama-Gait:



But my favorite is the Obama-Brandenburg-Gate:

Take questions. Not about any stupid 'obamagate' tabloid crap.(ignore that twitter tabloid crap)


About for example- Tell us about the ebola medical plans that kept ebola out of the USA pretty well, the pandemic plan republicans gutted.

We need someone, a statesman like Obama to stand up against the Republicans rape of America.

22. llimbaugh is attacking both barrack and michelle calling flynn proof of coup
Tue May 12, 2020, 12:36 PM
May 2020

llimbaugh has been calling the russia collusion a hoax since inauguration, and that itself is probably part of the collusion- the ongoing ongoing use of american talk radio by russsia/putin -

limbaugh is ramping it up now saying doj (barr) dropping the flynn case is proof that obama conspired with the fbi to overthrow a legally elected president - a coup

he continues to point attacks toward the obamas

this is about the first time obama has spoken out and this is not about trump trying to hit back. his friend, neighbor, gollf partner and most important supporter limbaugh is doing most of the work/harm WITH NO CHALLENGE and being supported by thousands of local and national advertisers and at least 87 major universities - and they all need to be hearing from us

americans are not getting the obamas' backs as long as they collectively ignore talk radio.

It’s the idea that Obama used the FBI and other government entities to spy on and sabotage Trump and people in his administration before they took office. Of course there is no proof of that. It’s complete made up nonsense. Even if it wasn’t, Trump has maintained it is totally legal if he himself did it.

At least that is my understanding.

Wed May 13, 2020, 08:23 AM
May 2020

He has thought dark thoughts about his predecessor, questioned his ability, his motivation, his popularity.

Trump has now taken all the negativity he thought about, and directed at Obama as EVIDENCE that Obama was no good and inferior to Trump as POTUS.

This is what Obamagate really is.

The wall between reality and negative, wishful thinking has broken down inside Trump's brain.

It's no wonder Trump can't articulate what he means by the 'crimes' he sums up as Obamagate. There are no facts, just vague feelings.

Paging the 25th amendment, please respond! You are desperately needed at this point in time!

It's a pity though, that Trump is at the top of the government pyramid.
If he was an employee in a company, people would have been dropping hints that it was time for him to retire.
He would get the speech from his superiors that he was stale, unproductive, and the company needed to be reinvigorated with younger blood.
The hints would come thick and fast, and be unrelenting, until he got the message.
There would be a half hearted going away party, fake cheer, fake congratulations, and 5 minutes after he is gone, no one would remember him enough to mention his name.

Definitely a shame Trump is at the top of the tree, and no one has the gumption to drop some hints he isn't doing the job too well.
