Discussion: Trump Calls Russia Probe 'Attempted Coup,' Says Of Obstruction: 'We Fight Back'

When the Projector-in-Chief accuses others of an attempted coup and treason, it’s time to take note.

In this case, I don’t think we’re going to have a lot of options in the matter. Our government is going to have to be rebuilt almost from scratch. There are going to be too many repairs that have to be done almost immediately on the Federal level; prosecutions are going to take a back seat. And, in this case, I see why that would happen.

However, on the State level, I believe there will be a few prosecutions.

ETA: @icarus_jones Well, seeing as we’re already in a constitutional crisis right now, I see your point

This shows how TERRIFIED he is of the contents of the Mueller Report.

He KNOWS that if it ever gets out in un-redacted form, he is toast.

It is his version of the Nixon “White House Tapes” and he is willing to go to ANY LENGTHS to prevent it coming out.

What we need right now is a Daniel Ellsberg to step up and publish the entire thing like he did with the “Pentagon Papers” that ripped the hypocritical cover-story off the Vietnam War.

Tuesday: “It totally exonerates me!”

Wednesday: “It’s an attempted coup!”

Well, that changed rather quickly.

pssst. He doesn’t know what that word means. This is what it looks like when he is parroting others’ talking points.

It was the Exoneration Coup.

Trump says whatever he feels the immediate audience wants to hear. Always has, always will.

It’s “Con Man 101”.

Isn’t that his Secret Service name? Maybe that’s why the director got fired.

Memory lane time… from last June-ish:

From here: https://www.thedailybeast.com/report-john-kelly-no-longer-cares-if-trump-gets-impeached

Sources cited by Politico on Monday say John Kelly told a confidant he is giving up on trying to rein Trump in and will let the president do what he wants even if that results in impeachment because, as Politico paraphrased it, “at least this chapter of American history would come to a close.”

What you cite - what we are seeing - I think is what Kelly saw.

Kelly may have just let go of the reigns and gave up trying to control order, but Mulvaney reportedly is whispering in Trump’s ear and igniting some of these combustions.

Here’s to hoping Kelly’s assessment of an impeachment closing this chapter of American history is somewhere in the near future.

What he MEANS is that anybody who is not on HIS SIDE is committing treason.

Fucktard.

I was just talking to a family member and I realized that I have never have felt so angry about a political character/situation in my whole life (68yo) and it is AWFUL being this angry all the time. It’s gotten so all I have to hear is ONE ‘nice’ thing about our situation and I just want to get in the face of whoever said it, so OH YEAH, I am INCAPABLE of reasoned discussion on any of this with a Republican, I don’t CARE anymore about being reasonable.

This is a hard thing for ME to face, the damage this POS has done and how “I” respond to it.

That sounds like a dance number, but probably won’t be as enjoyable to watch as the Cell Block Tango

He and Bibi will come up with something. Don’t worry about that. I don’t think it will be NK as long as Iran is so close to Israel.

I’m just hoping we limit it to closing one chapter.

So Trump will go down hard. Fine. Release the report, examine his tax filings. Let’s get it on!

Indeed, yes.

If he and Bibi attacked Iran, I wouldn’t shed a tear if Iran carpet bombed Israel. I’m so sick of our little Middle Eastern puppy acting like it’s the one pulling the leash.

We fucking own, you Israel. You exist at our discretion. Learn to act like it.

Drumpf’s next (and last) book should be a full biography and the perfect title is: FAILING UPWARD

That book was written long ago. It was titled The Peter Principle.

This is a classic, original version business book about the Peter Principle that was a famous business book
in the 1970’s. It is about the tendency to promote people to the level
where they are NOT competent. … The premise is that people will rise
in an organization to the level of their incompetence.

I’m a little younger than you but what you said rings true. I find I need to disengage sometimes to preserve what little is left of my mental health.

Which is why I joined Prime. :confounded:
