Intelligence Expert Malcolm Nance Believes That Donald Trump Could be the Benedict Arnold of Our TimeChauncey DeVega
Well, as far as Trump and Russia is concerned, it doesnt because they view ISIS as the vanguard of Islam and as being a fundamentalist basis of the religion. The worst part of it all is that this comes from Osama bin Laden. He attacked us on 9/11 in order to induce a clash of civilizations between the Christian West and Islam. In all of these insane right-wingers, none of them have any military experience, and the military people that they do have that are on board with their ideology are the ones who we consider insane. These are the Jack D. Rippers from Dr. Strangelove, who want to start a global war and would use their authority at whatever level. This is dangerous.
What do you think comes next? Do you think this administration can survive this scandal? Is the partisanship so deep theyre going to weather the storm?
No. There is a very serious chance that this could split the country in a very negative way. Thats what Barack Obama did not want to happen, which is why he didnt bring all of this out before the election: No Drama Obama. He thought that the norms of the United States would be of help, and that the American public, with the information that they had in hand, without any thumbs on the scale, would make the right choice for president. He was horribly wrong. Actually, he wasnt wrong. He was only wrong by 70,000 people and three counties.
I think this will end in impeachment. If it does not, the American system of government will split in two. I mean, like the Democrats will just stonewall and say, This is treason. Then youre going to get the Republicans who will say, Were going to use every level of power to go after anyone that doesnt agree with us. But at the street level, you wont see the changes. Youll still have the right to speak out. There wont be any arrests like there were in Russia with Pussy Riot. But people who support Trump will do all of that. Theyll come and attack you. They will silence you. There will be self-appointed groups of people and militias that will make it clear that Trump is God.

A long read, well worth the time. This is an excerpt from the end of the article. The last paragraph is chilling.

is the man. This thing just keeps opening up like an Outback Bloomin onion. Every thing Trump and his campaign have said regarding Russian influence has been proven to be a lie.
