President Trump doubled down on his call for the Justice Department to investigate Democrats on Friday after a former Democratic National Committee chair acknowledged the party tipped the scales in Hilary Clinton's favor during last year's primary.

Trump told reporters outside the White House that he is “disappointed” in the Justice Department for not investigating Clinton, reiterating that he believes the agency should do something.

“I’m really not involved with the Justice Department. I’d like to let it run itself, but honestly, they should be looking at the Democrats," he said.

“They should be looking at Podesta and all of that dishonesty, they should be looking at a lot of things, and a lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department, including me,” he said.

1. So..attack, attack, and attack..that is all he knows, intelligent people know when to stop

He never stops attacking..

2. and then Fox News told me unicorns are real

5. And they fart rainbows!!!

3. Ahh the ol' MANY PEOPLE BS

Frankly I think the vast majority of people think his MANY PEOPLE comments are just all bullshit anyway.

[titaniumsalute]

4. So let's say Hillary was 100% complicit in screwing with the DNC

Well she still lost. I'm pretty sure that would be her penance and penalty.

12. Clinton didn't lose.

First, she won the popular vote by a large margin.

Second, Russian hacking and propaganda -- along
with effective voter suppression on the part of the
Reeps -- helped 45 STEAL the election!

[titaniumsalute]

13. Yes she lost

1.The way elections are won, as you know is the EV and not the popular vote. Yes she won 3 mill+ pop votes. But she lost. Plain and simple.

2. We can point to lots of things including what you said. But the bottom line is she lost.

7. People are saying

One of his "go to lines" - many people are saying, people are saying, etc. What people? Same old nonsense from the Orange Anus. To this day I can't believe anybody voted for him. He was such an obvious con man. After 10 minutes with him you would not buy a used Chevy from his ass. Yet all those idiot voters, wanting some fantasy of the 1950's back so they could go down in some shitty coal mine put him in office. God help us. He can't be removed from office fast enough. The damage he has already done to the country might not be fixable.

15. Absolutely - worst president ever!

[ffr]

21. Can you wear that in public?

[FakeNoose]

25. Not my hat, I just found this photo on the internet

I love posting this on DU but I don't think I'd wear this in public even if I owned it.

I hate that word.

27. I saw that on Twitter - and this:

8. We must stop reacting to tRumps outrageous distraction games.

I don't give a Shit what he cares about. . nothing... he's a faux pResident.

9. So the asshole in chief wants to basically take over the Justice department, sounds familiar

every time an authoritarian wanna be takes over a justice department we have this, sound familiar:

http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/11/23/ten-ways-to-tell-if-your-president-is-a-dictator/


1. Systematic efforts to intimidate the media.

2. Building an official pro-Trump media network.

3. Politicizing the civil service, military, National Guard, or the domestic security agencies.

4. Using government surveillance against domestic political opponents.

5. Using state power to reward corporate backers and punish opponents.

6. Stacking the Supreme Court.

7. Enforcing the law for only one side.

8. Really rigging the system.

9. Fearmongering.

10. Demonizing the opposition.

[FakeNoose]

16. It sounds like he's getting ready to fire Sessions

Why else would he start with this shit again? He threatened to fire Sessions a few months ago and then backed off. He thinks this is a reality show or something.

BTW stacking the Supreme Court has been the rightwingers' main goal ever since Ronald Reagan. You can't really ascribe that one to Trump, he certainly didn't think of it.

[turbinetree]

17. I give Sessions thirty day max, then the country will go into a constitutional crises

and with Gorsuch being on the court and now they packing of right wingers to the lower court going full bore, this country is in deep trouble, McConnell should be impeached, and the authoritarian wanna be, had a conference and they knew exactly what they were doing to get Gorsuch on that bench

[FakeNoose]

18. Yep it's going to be interesting

Mueller's doing a great job so far, but his main goal isn't impeachment. He's just aiming to get as many of these guys in jail as possible. The impeachment is up to Congress, and they're not feeling enough pressure yet. I'm thinking probably things will change after next year's elections.

As for the Supreme Court, I don't know if there's a way to get Gorsuch off of there, other than to impeach him or convince him to resign.

[lagomorph777]

22. Yep. And if he thought firing Comey went badly, he has no idea what's about to fall on his head.

I hope Sessions burns in hell either way, but for now, he's gotta stay.

[ffr]

20. +1

This is the road we're on.

[TalenaGor]

10. yeah... saying what he was told to say

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Maybe he can take a knee during the anthem to show his "disappointment". nt

[SeattlePop]

14. Many More People Are Disappointed With A Lying Sexual Predator As Prez

Tweeting and telling lies by the day.

[ffr]

19. Straw Man "some people" are also disappointed when they step in dog crap too

What's your point? I don't remember asking the question about what some people think. Especially from an idiot like yourself.

"Some people" are disappointed in the lack of oversight by the KGOP as well, but you're not talking about that!

"Some people" are disappointed, well most people actually, are that you're a narcissist, but you're not talking about that!

See how that works Dotard? I can make anything up using fallacious reasoning to make a point that nobody gives a crap about and didn't ask about.

So just fuck the fuck off and resign already!

[bluestarone]

23. he's disappointed and i'm disappointed but

FOR WHOLE DIFFERENT REASON! IMPEACH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Liberalagogo]

24. "many people"

Ever notice how often the PigFucker uses weasel words?

[Sneederbunk]

26. You and your ego are not many
