For sure, Keaton! Our country has gotten complacent, we took these things for granted because they were never challenged…oh no, it took a trump for that. They need to be written into law. Once we get this dirt-bag out of office, & Congress is cleaned up, changes must be made. “Never again”, if I may borrow that phrase?
I think that this should be a given too, the population at large has to submit to these things to work at Boeing or in a nuclear missile silo, it seems that being President requires a certain amount of integrity and ethics and not being susceptible to “a shakedown” as NY Donny would say. Mr. Trump doesn’t have the proper skills or temperament to be President, it’s becoming more obvious with each passing week. Firing this McCabe guy on his last day before his retirement might even feel a bit wrong to the Deplorables who voted for him.
It wouldn’t hurt to require a medical & especially a MENTAL fitness evaluation prior to election either.
It’s pretty bad when so many lay people can recognize trump’s personality problems that make him dangerous to our national security & alienating to our allies as well, but it’s even worse that our nation’s enemies are happy to exploit it.
I really like this talk about solutions. Maybe we need a thread called WTF are the solutions?
I think that’s a great idea! Because who knows how long we’ll be at this, & these ideas might get buried & “forgotten”. Personally, I’d like to make a list with which to hit up my Congressmen/women, or those who would run for office. This needs to actually happen, not just in our minds. And if there’s a bunch of us with the same talking points, how great would that be? It’s gonna take a movement, just like sane gun laws.
Identifying solutions is a good idea. A positive approach.
Why now? Cause he knows he needs the GOP votes to not be impeached.
Don’t forget, he doesn’t like to read. Maybe it’s a logical fallacy, but I’m inferring that he doesn’t like to write much either. It probably has never dawned on him that people are smart enough to cover themselves when dealing with him. I wonder whether Stormy has a few notes of her own and that’s why this gag order has been dominating the news. I wonder who else might be keeping some notes? Sessions, perhaps? I think all anyone would have to do was imply he had them and T would go nuts.
So it would seem, from “What Hope Hicks Knows” (New York Magazine):
Many requests were mundane. “He doesn’t write anything down,” one source close to the White House told me. “He doesn’t type, he dictates. ‘Take this down, take this down: Trump: richest man on Earth.’ ”
Yes, now they are re-thinking a whole string of similar “fishy” Russian deaths that took place in Britain…geez, it’s about time. And lucky us, we have a so-called POTUS that won’t act on behalf of
our country or our allies. F***ing traitor!
