(who served two terms without as much as a scandal ) committed the worst crime in history.
This shit is more laughable that the birther shit. The criminally negligent Con shoud be dragged out of the WH in a strait jacket.

(11,726 posts)Trump is the quintessential failson. He is the epitome of the White Supremacy ideology. A loser, who has really done very little of historical note, but who feels, because of his Whiteness, supposed wealth, and the power of the office he was granted; that he is above the laws of the United States.
White Supremacy was baked into the cake of American Society and Trump is the beneficiary. He doesn't feel he has any need to show respect to a man who is superior to him in every way, simply because that man, Barak Obama, is a Black man. Unfortunately, the history of the US with respect to race relations, supports his feelings or at least, has turned a blind eye to them.

The worst thing his dad ever described to him as his worst fearan uppity, er, African-American embarrassing him in front of the world (the press). Obama and the media now live rent-free in his head as he tries to get revenge.
Hes just that simple, its all about the TV ratings to him and feeling aggrieved because movie and TV people dont like his hard sell approach. And hes not making new friends, either.

(45 posts)I think I'll go look it up on youtube. I was just thinking what I wouldn't pay to see Trump publicly humiliated. And now I can, and for free.
The public shaming burns in his mind because he knows it's true and it confirms the truth he knows about himself that he runs from every waking hour.
Obama, man how I miss a smart decent MAN in the White House.

(53,410 posts)some of his words needed to stay private. What no one should forget is that this last thing he said was with the understanding that it was NOT public. Someone listening on the phone released it to the public. So asshole Moscow Mitch conveniently overlooked that fact so he could make sure the public heard it and that Trump heard him. Moscow seems to want a mad and crazed Trump doing his tweeting dee and tweeting dum thing. Keeps him occupied and makes sure the news is Trump all the time. So whats McConnell up to while were distracted?

(45 posts)Great tag line. That's one of my favorite quotes.
I once told a friend:
"It's a good thing that I was born crazy, otherwise I'm not sure I could deal the the world as it is today."
This was more than 20 years ago, and just proves something else that I've observed in life.
"Never say, 'It can't get any worse'; life will prove you wrong."

(442 posts)...Obama can speak in clear, coherent and complete sentences.
...Obama's wife not only holds his hand in public, but shows genuine love, respect and friendship towards him.
...Obama's children love him and roll their eyes and chuckle at his 'dad jokes'.
...World leaders love him and look at him with love and respect (Does not include dictators).
...Babies and children love him and smile when they see him.
...Obama's dogs love him.
...He can respond to a childish rant with one simple word and the world applauds.
To be fair...here is a list of positive Trump things:
...He's made GWB look good.
...Was Nixon 'really' that bad?
...Hitler was worse.
...Proof that it's true 'anyone' can be President.

(45 posts)How many times did we all wish with all we had in our hearts that Obama would just once, take off the 'gloves', open his mouth and use his voice to let one of them have the full force of his intellect and righteous rage to READ his target until they could be seen as the puddle of SLIME that they were.
And to his credit, time after time, he stood tall - bit his tongue; and made us PROUD.
Because to do otherwise would undermine his ability to serve others rather than himself, he steadfastly refused to be baited.
Why do they prefer evil to good? Even now, I hesitate to accept the obvious of my fellow humans.

(3,321 posts)He needs to be thrown into federal prison - forever.
Put him in an all welded cell. No keys, no visits, no view, no mattress, no medical care, no running water, no toilet, no showers, no soap, no toothpaste, no nothing. Give him a fucking space blanket to keep warm. He can live the rest of his life in a manner consistent with the children he put into cages, after separating them from their parents - forever. That would be justice.
Fuck this monster to hell!

(333 posts)trump and william barr are cooking up a gigantic scandal much like the hillary clinton. They're waiting until such time that not only will it have a jarring impact on "undecided" voters, but it will be too late for biden or obama to stage a retaliation. They will be bombarded with media instigating, questioning, and posturing. They won't have time to defeat this. The scandal will be based on a small bit of truth covered in a humongous pile of lies formulated by barr, the senate republicans, and the trump campaign. It will be pushed and promoted by foxnews and rush limpbaugh radio. WE HAVE TO IGNORE IT AT ALL COST. TRUMP RELIES ON A STUPID BASE OF DEPLORABLE AND KNUCKLEHEADS TO BUY HIS BULLSHIT AND HE IS NOT ABOUT TO STOP. REMEMBER:
OBAMA UNDERSTOOD "HIS PLACE".
OBAMA IS THE FIRST, AND POSSIBLY THE ONLY, BLACK PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. HIS RISE TO POLITICAL FAME AND SUCCESS WILL BE READ ABOUT BY CHILDREN OF ALL RACES, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY BLACK CHILDREN WHO FOR DECADES HAVE NEVER READ ABOUT SUCH A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL THAN OBAMA. OBAMA KNOWS THIS, HE KNEW IT WHEN HE TOOK OFFICE. HE KNEW THAT UNLIKE PAST BLACK GOVERNORS, LEGISLATORS, MAYORS WHO HAVE MIRED THEMSELVES IN SCANDAL, OBAMA KNOWS THE PRESIDENCY IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY THAT MAY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. SO HE KNEW TO DO HIS JOB, KEEP HIS HANDS CLEAN, BE A GOOD HUSBAND AND FATHER, AND BRING HONOR TO HIS RACE AND THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES--OUR HISTORY DEMANDS IT.
This is something trumpist don't understand, they keep lumping him with other politicians as if he was some born-rich, entitled, white guy who thinks he can do whatever he wants and is above the law. Obama knew his place in history, he knew how important it was for him to do a good job---he did a great job! That's why this lie, whatever it is, will be exposed for what it is, a desperate attempt by a stupid man, to win an election.
