Donald Trump rode to The White House on an unscrupulous campaign and with themes that brought out the worst in American voters. Unapologetically, they are deplorable.
"Making America Great Again" is a fraudulent slogan because the nation and its people under the rule of law are solid assets.
Political parties failed the citizens by promoting flawed candidates. The US Congress failed Americans by permitting corporatists and wealthy persons to multiply their votes with dollars. That undermined the principle of equality.
I confronted Mitch McConnell with that problem at a new event in 2016 at which he replied that the law must be changed to ensure one person means one vote. If corporations are persons too, then they should not be able to expand their influence through campaign contributions. He didn't say that I did.
The issue today is that President Trump repeatedly said his campaign individuals had nothing to do with conspiring, coordinating, or colluding with Russians in the interference of the Election 2016. That is a lie as evidenced by Paul Manafort, George Popadopolous, Richard Gates, Michael Flynn, Jerred Kurshner, Jeff Sessions, and Mike Pence among others.
Guilty pleas and prosecutions are before us as evidence to the contrary.
President Trump has committed impeachable offenses. The US Congress is obstructing justice by failing to hold the President and administration accountable.
"There’s a narcissistic fraud in the White House. An angry, hollow, vindictive man is running the country. What bottomless emotional need does he have for acclaim? It is hard to know where his rampant narcissism ends and serious mental problems ensue. He lies prodigiously and for no reason except he obviously has an unclear vision of what the truth is."

In apparent shift, Trump tweets he fired Flynn for lying to FBI
ReplyDeletePresident Trump said Saturday he had to fire Michael Flynn as national security adviser because he lied to Vice President Pence and the FBI, an apparent shift from the reasons Trump stated at the time of Flynn's ouster.
Trump’s changing rationale is a discrepancy that will catch the attention of prosecutors on Mueller’s team looking into whether the president tried to obstruct the investigation.
