She’s not wrong. He thinks he’s an emperor or a king…hopefully someone will soon disabuse him of those notions.

Yes he is.

That said, the GOP’s been assaulting our rights for years.

…the President is “taking his all-out assault on the rule of law to a new level.”

No doubt: Drumpf has decided that his best chance is to discredit the referees.
And, really, he doesn’t care at all about the damage done to the federal legal institutions. Judging by his appointees actions, that’s just a natural extension of the administration and party’s program.

Fully aided and abetted by FUX News, and a spineless, bought and paid for, GOP Congress.

Isn’t this obstruction of justice? Doesn’t this measure up to Comey’s firing and his constant meddling in the DOJ? How much more does the Special Counsel need to make a case? It seems that we’re getting closer to Mueller requesting Trump appear for an interview.

While waiting for this event, the media should concentrate on real news, not the shining objects: Healthcare, the environment, immigration, LGBTQ rights, voting rights…all the things that really matter and impact peoples’ daily lives.

Whether Mueller gets his man or not, these issues will still be there.

This is “Gorilla Warfare.” When all you got is poo, that’s what you throw. This administration has gotten down to the that level of offense.

My God, I hope she will become my next senator. I believe she could defeat Shithole David Perdue in 2020.

Why is the Democratic Party almost silent about all of this? They should be raising hell.

ETA: my post actually complements yours quite nicely. :+1:

The FBI has a horrible history of committing crimes against US citizens (looking right at you, J. Edgar) but this ain’t a case of Drumpf being illegally spied upon. Drumpf’s only strategy is to go on the attack 24/7 and claim everyone and every agency is against him. Mueller probably already have more than is needed to indict Mango Mussolini, but he’s waiting to nail as many smaller fish as possible. Dump’s attack on the rule of law is the only thing he thinks will save his orange ass. Animals will chew off a limb to escape a trap.

Believe it or not, I would like there to be talented competent people around to re-appoint to the DOJ once the orange tide recedes…

We all need to watch this video and heed Bill’s words.

Before the election, Bill warned all of us that Trump could win and probably would. No one else was saying this, really. But Bill had it nailed right before the election. He had a monologue where he told us to prepare for a DJT victory, because Dump had done EVERYTHING people said he couldn’t do. I’m pretty sure it was his last show before the election. I laughed along with everyone else, until November 8, 2016. But I’m not laughing anymore.

Now I listen to Bill very very carefully. I’m not sure what we can DO necessarily, but it would behoove us to “pay attention” as Rachel would say. I know I’m preaching to the choir here in the hive, but I just felt the strong need to say this.

I will dismount my soapbox now… :slightly_frowning_face:

If Trump succeeds in neutralizing the treason investigations, we have a dictatorship and I will march with the other 400,000 MoveOn members demanding Trump’s removal from office.
