... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

Didn’t Sally Yates tell him? And Obama? And various others?

It now seems the General Flynn was under investigation long before was common knowledge. It would have been impossible for me to know this but, if that was the case, and with me being one of two people who would become president, why was I not told so that I could make a change?

My Campaign for President was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in American Politics. A really bad situation. TREASON means long jail sentences, and this was TREASON!

Yes, he is desperate.

How on earth is it treason to keep an eye on presidential candidates to make sure they are not behaving illegally or breaking the rules for being candidates?

Hearhere · 18/05/2019 17:01

of course it's treason....
...if you believe in the divine right of trump to do as he pleases

hypocrisy runs through him like stripes in toothpaste

CNN interviewed 19 undocumented immigrants who say they worked for the Trump Organization and that Donald Trump had to have known they were undocumented during their employment.

Yep.

Interesting link hearhere. I saw it earlier on Twitter but avoided it because I thought it was pro Trump and they were saying how wonderful he was!

No!

Hearhere · 18/05/2019 17:32

His unshakable belief that he is the rightful king of the world means that he doesn't see any need to be accountable to anyone else, he needs consult no one else, he is right and just and everything else follows on from that

Hearhere · 18/05/2019 17:34

undocumented migrants have been making his bed and folding his socks for decades

lionheart · 18/05/2019 17:51

I expect they have some stories to tell then. Smile

Here’s Justin Amash’s Twitter post (and thread).

Justin Amash @justinamash
Here are my principal conclusions:

  1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
  2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
  3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
  4. Few members of Congress have read the report.

Fox’s Bongino disagrees - he thinks Trump is “an innocent man” Grin:

A total embarrassment, from a guy I once respected and admired. This is NOT a principled stand. You cannot be on the side of liberty and the Bill of Rights while simultaneously calling for the impeachment of an innocent man, who’s liberties were trashed by police-state insiders.

Here's a twitter thread unrolled showing everything Justin Amash put out there...

Yes to this...
'We’ve witnessed members of Congress from both parties shift their views 180 degrees—on the importance of character, on the principles of obstruction of justice—depending on whether they’re discussing Bill Clinton or Donald Trump.'

I hope the abortion bans provoke a massive backlash, particularly from women) against the right, the Republicans and Trump himself. I know some women support the bans but surely a minority? I lived through the 60s and 70s and know how determined and organised US women can be.

Oops errant parenthesis there

Dear Goodness.

I wonder how long it will be before someone whose abortion of his unwanted child Trump paid for pops out of the woodwork?

is only speculative but makes a lot of sense

“If Trump hasn’t paid for at least half a dozen abortions, I will eat this blazer,” Bee continued. “Actually, I take that back, that was wildly unfair. If Trump hasn’t promised to pay for at least a half dozen abortions and then not paid for them then written bad checks for them, ghosted the woman, then declared bankruptcy and eventually made Russia pay for them, I will eat this blazer.”
