Trump calls for probe of Obama book deal

(I know I don't usually post this late, but this story really just got stuck in my head.)

1. yup

Trump is.....desperate

[tulipsandroses]

2. He whines more than my niece and she's in Pre-K

FFS! STFU! Aside from his criminality, immorality and racism. ( As if those are not deal breakers on their own). How does any woman deal with him? I cannot stand a whiny ass man!

[sandensea]

3. It's that most serious of infractions: a WWB

Writing while Black.

[iluvtennis]

4. Nothing but a deflection. Can't wait until this cretin is voted out in 2020.

[pazzyanne]

7. And some say not a very good distraction!

tRump is no longer putting out original distractions that are effective. So sad for him - NOT!

[sandensea]

5. In all seriousness, this might be Cheeto's way of floating a Lawfare trial balloon.

Lawfare, for anyone unfamiliar with the term, is basically a regime's weaponizing the judiciary against critics and opponents.

Strategically placed prosecutors and judges who, either through political affinity or sheer bribery (and sometimes extortion), will railroad opponents at the president's whim.

You're seeing this in a number of right-wing and otherwise authoritarian regimes around the world - notably in Argentina against former President Cristina Kirchner and her ex-officials; and Brazil, to remove former President Dilma Rousseff, and to later jail former President Lula da Silva (who would be president today but for that).

In the U.S. we saw this at work under Bush through his lackey Alberto Gonzáles, who as many will recall was given to using U.S. attorneys to harass Democrats.

Trump himself has already openly said he'd like to go this route. And there's no one he'd rather start with, than President Obama.

[Martin Eden]

16. I have no doubt that is what this fascist POtuS would like to do.

Given 4 more years with judicial appointments -- after committing high crimes and misdemeanors with impunity -- I'd be surprised if that judiciary was not weaponized as a tool of an authoritarian state.

[sandensea]

19. Exactly.

And God help us all.

[trueblue2007]

6. Moron is so jealous of President Obama's book deal. Moron hates President Obama

Obama is a ten
Moron is a zero

[CTyankee]

25. But Trump wrote a book! It's called "The Art of the Deal"

oh, wait...

[SWBTATTReg]

26. Exactly! Obama can write circles around rump and not even break out in a sweat.

rump is jealous and angry at the presidential treatment that Obama continues to receive here and overseas that put rump to shame...

[Duppers]

8. Another good one!

I'm sharing.

[PatrickforO]

9. Great graphic.

Really good. I've passed it on in the hope it might go viral.

It drives me totally nuts that decent people all over this country aren't calling their Congresspeople every ten minutes until this crisis has passed. Every single decent thing this country should stand for is being torn apart by Trump and his criminal gang - and that really is what they are - criminals and traitors.

[NBachers]

10. Trump, grasping to find some crime Obama has committed, decides on "Writing a book."

[Initech]

11. Shut the fuck up Donny!!!

[duforsure]

12. This is his MO

When he is threatened with exposure , he abuses his power to use against others , now President Obama . Eventually he'll threaten all of us because he's in trouble with the law, and they're closing in. He's a criminal with power, and a really dangerous position for this country.

[duforsure]

13. trump and McConnell blocking election protections

Is aiding and abetting the enemy. trump and mcconnell are both compromised by putin, and should be held fully accountable for this. Now trump is trying to switch out Dan Coats for his minion Nunes to undermine National Security even more with is obstruction, and a danger to all intelligence groups. trumpski and moscow mcconnell are both so far up putin's ass now this is the greatest threat to our nation's security we've ever had, and from a president and Senate majority leader.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

14. This graphic is clear enough for even a Republican to understand.

........... .........

Thanks, EarlG.

[gademocrat7]

15. Trump is so envious of President Obama.

Your pic of the moment is brilliant.

[Bob Loblaw]

17. Translation

Don't investigate my book deal.

[Marthe48]

18. in trump world every deal is crooked

he wouldn't know about legal and licit agreements

[Haggis for Breakfast]

20. At least President Obama WROTE his book

Unlike trumpie who can't string an entire sentence together and uses ghost writers for everything.

[Fritz Walter]

21. AND President Obama didn't write it in crayon

Or a Sharpie, for that matter.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. And his signature doesn't look like a 7.2 on the Richter !

[Smackdown2019]

23. Let's see....

Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush all had books. WTF is trumps problem? Cant write? Oh... that's right, he believes we had airports in the Revolutionary War.

Trumps book would be FICTION of a Nitwit!

[Mc Mike]

24. Blubbrin' nazi, blubbrin crook.

[badhair77]

27. Who knew a man his size could scramble so quickly and widely

to distract and deflect from his own sins.

[tclambert]

28. I'm so looking forward to Trump's memoirs. Do you think it will bear any resemblance to the truth?

Maybe Sean Spicer or Sarah Huckabee Sanders would agree to ghostwrite it for him. Look for it in the fiction section of your local library.

Although if there is a federal law against profiting off books about your own criminal activity, he may not get to "write" a memoir.

[DFW]

29. Legally, he would be allowed to write it, just not make a dime off it.

Of course, if you can't read or write to begin with.......

Or maybe he could dictate it to someone. Of course, there would be the problem that no one other than a James Joyce scholar would be able to decipher his stream-of-(semi-)consciousness babbling........
