Permanent damage will be inflicted upon our country by trump and the pukes during this illegal occupation.
A real country would fight back, arrest those who've assaulted the highest office in the land, and prevent trump from taking power.

(16,104 posts)Hillary mentioned this Russian interference for Trump in the debates!
No political consequences were triggered or criminal proceedings were initiated, as far as we knew.
And over 60,000,000 still voted for him!

(475 posts)Classic republican logic. Straight from the mouth of Ryan. It'll take confirmation by the non-"crooked media" (breitbart, dredge, fox, their facebook feeds) to get these people to see the light of day.

(798 posts)until the public is destitute enough to organize and storm the Capitol. This is where the "2nd Amendment Solution" comes in. Think French and Russian revolutions and recent events in the Baltic States where leaders eventually get run out by a raging mob.
think
(11,641 posts)that the Russians were involved and this is coming from anonymous sources. That's not a slam dunk and that's not good enough in something as serious as the accusations are.
American intelligence agencies have concluded with high confidence that Russia acted covertly in the latter stages of the presidential campaign to harm Hillary Clintons chances and promote Donald J. Trump, according to senior administration officials.

Before one takes a firm stand shouldn't people want to see some actual evidence from actual persons willing to come forward and present it? I hope that's not too much to ask.....

(1,074 posts)How come everything with us has to be a slam dunk before it's taken as legitimate, but with them, it only has to have a sniff of doubt, and we become villified as guilty??? Look at Comey's statement before the election...Trump comes out and says "it's worse than Watergate" and "oh boy, you won't believe what they're finding in Hillary's emails" and their side then finds Hillary guilty! No proof needed on their part, but for us, it always has to be a slam dunk!

(28,860 posts)Is it because deep down he lines up more with
Republican corporatism and Democratic ideals?
I have always thought this about him, from the
very beginning; and he has very seldom proven
me wrong.
libtodeath
(2,888 posts)he had to wait until after it happened?
ananda
(28,860 posts)That appears to be true for all of them.
But it gives the media a chance to minimize or go silent
on the Reep complicity in order to shift blame and focus
to Obama and his admin.
The sad thing is that we have nothing in place for
dealing with consitutional crimes and treason when
ideologists are in charge.
