I know the Prez has a large & loyal fan base, but I don’t think they realize what they’ve signed on to.  In order to save Trumpeters from themselves, we need to find the means to legally remove Trump from office before he does permanent damage to our nation from which there’ll be no recovery.

Our best hope for America rests in the hands of Mueller’s team of investigators, who are tasked with unveiling all the details surrounding the Russian attack on our U.S. election.  If it can be proven Trump conspired with the Russians to steal the election that would be a VERY BIG DEAL!!!  It would most certainly be a criminal act against our democracy!  All we need to find out is whether Trump knew about election collusion with the Russians, be it during or afterwards, & he’ll be finished so long as the evidence is solid.  Despite echo-claims, the odds of that happening are greater than not.  The latest shoe to drop in the Russian scandal is the report Manafort was told during the morning raid on his home he would be indicted.  He was also wiretapped years before the election as part of a FISA warrant, which was resumed right after the election, indicating there was solid evidence of a crime having been committed.  Manafort has not been cooperative which is why the screws are being applied tighter.  They’re exerting pressure on Manafort in a likely attempt to get him to start talking, & even strike a deal to flip on Trump.

 

Another bombshell from the past few days has Mueller being able to obtain a search warrant for Facebook accounts having to do with Russian bot ads.  It’s just further indications the Mueller team has solid evidence of crimes when they could persuade a judge to issue the warrant.  The ads were coordinated fake news attacks to a receptive audience in strategically-targeted areas, which the echo also helped promote some of those false stories.  Following the money & communication contacts can reveal who & to what extent the Russians got help directing those ads by conspirators here in America.  Things look to be closing in on Trump & his inner circle.  It seems like just a matter of time before the numerous suspicious activities over all things Russia evolve into proof of a criminal conspiracy.  Plus obstruction of justice & abuse of power look to be a given.  I firmly believe based on the numerous contacts during the campaign between the Russians & Trump officials, along with all the subsequent hiding & lying about it from the White House, this cannot end well for many associated with the Trump campaign.

 

There is plenty of intrigue with the drama being played out as little by little we learn more about the substance behind this scandal, like a great mystery movie although this plot is real life with enormous implications.  Most Trumpeters seem to be missing out on the unfolding facts, either by tuning it out or staying stowed away inside their echo-propaganda bubble, where the real news is lost within conspiracy-laden hyper-partisan nonsense.  These delirious fans not only don’t believe the increasingly mounting evidence of a crime, but they’re willing to excuse Trump’s personal characteristics, such as outward signals of racism, bigotry, sexism & xenophobia which defile normal human decency, coupled with his persona of being a thin-skinned egomaniacal narcissist who may well be sociopathic.  Trumpeters dismiss such characterizations, but I’m being absolutely serious.  And when the echo & their compliant audiences accept all those repeated transgressions by engaging in hero-worship, they not only support but are encouraging Trump’s demented statements & behavior.  In fact, Trump’s mental instability has become so alarming, did you catch the speculation from his conspiracy-minded friends (Jones & Stone) in trying to answer for his mumblings, that someone may be drugging his drinks?

 

As the scandal plays out & more shoes keep dropping, not only might there soon be several removed from power & indicted, but we may also be forced to question the legitimacy of the election itself.  Stay tuned as I fully expect the echo-crowd will be shocked & infuriated when all the facts come out.  Mueller’s aggressive tactics would seem to indicate they are finding plenty of damning clues.  In the past few days, besides the Manafort revelations & inquiry into the Facebook ads, there are some other recent scandal news reports.  There is plenty of bickering between Trump’s lawyers, even caught arguing out in public about how transparent they should be with the Mueller investigation, plus there is suspense in what the documents might say that one of his lawyers has locked away in a safe.  Today another of Trump’s lawyers was set to answer questions in front of a Senate Intel panel….Whoops, never mind, it was cancelled after Cohen issued a statement in advance to the media in defiance of Senate investigators.  He may be subpoenaed instead to testify in public.  We’ve also heard of Flynn working with the Russians to build nuclear power plants in Saudi Arabia, which yet again he failed to disclose.  We may also soon see Donny-boy Jr. testifying in public, which would be must-see TV!

 

Below the Russian scandal links, here are highlights of the topics from those other links:

  • Abusing Women….Trump retweets a video of his golf drive hitting Hillary in the back as she boards a plane.  As a known sexual abuser, apparently he also finds humor in physically hitting women (yes, it’s not just embarrassing but mind-blowing this is our current President).
  • Hard-hitting UN speech….It was classic Trumpian.  A very nationalist tone with an isolationist bent except when it comes time to destroy another country, even implying using nukes.  North Korea is such a dangerous situation, it’s hard to envision taking decisive action without enlisting the support of numerous nations, especially China & Russia in that region.  Problem is our weak diplomatic efforts & dismantling of the State Dept. under this administration won’t help produce the critical cooperation from allies or adversaries alike.  But in staying consistent with my views I won’t bash Trump too much over that speech, since I’ve always leaned hawkish instead of dovish when it comes to enemies (or someday terrorists) with nukes.  Taking aggressive action against North Korea or Iran to stop their nuclear programs is incredibly risky while putting millions of lives at risk, but I weigh that out against what the world might look like a decade from now if we fail to act.  Letting North Korea gain an arsenal of hundreds of nukes which they could mount on long-range ballistic missiles reaching the U.S. is unimaginable.  Likewise a nuclear Iran is unthinkable, with the nation being a leading sponsor of terrorism & would probably not hesitate to funnel such nukes into terrorist networks.  So while attacking rogue regimes like North Korea or Iran carries the real risk of igniting an all-out war where millions of potential casualties make such options too risky, the alternative of not acting could soon result in something far worse.  As the Russian scandal closes in on Trump, don’t be surprised if he does something rash on the international scene, which could solidify his legacy as either the all-time military hero or villain, depending on whether his actions worked or not.
  • Evangelicals have become perplexing….A Mother Jones article displays a chart showing in general how evangelicals over the past 5 years have lost their moral compass.  An article right below that shows discussions from those willing to overlook the President’s moral depravity, while these simpletons are blaming the GOP Congress instead of Trump for his agenda not passing, conveniently oblivious to the civil war going on within the party between the rational centrists & radical extremists.  Faith leaders such as Rev William Barber & Dr. Russell Moore stepped into the political arena as a way to defend ethics & morality, something other faith leaders have stepped in it promoting unscrupulous partisan politics.  Too many misguided evangelical leaders have mislead their flocks with a narrow focus on the courts in the unlikely event either pro-life or anti-LGBT laws can be passed, conveniently overlooking having to side with (as I alluded to above) racism, bigotry, sexism, xenophobia & all manner of moral depravity.  It’s a bad tradeoff & undermines our faith’s moral authority.
  • Trump base losing faith?….A giant Trump rally On The Mall was attended by 1% of the projected attendance, while plenty of Trumpeters are burning their MAGA hats.  So it appears some in his base are growing tired of his antics, while the last link shows how echo & their hardcore fans are now threatening moderate GOP members of the Senate.  The last thing Congress needs is losing more centrists who are the dealmakers.
  • Other links below include Trump’s absurd voter fraud panel, his repeated lying, his insults hurled at our closest ally Britain in the face of a terrorist attack, plus his pattern of racism & bigotry as he wrestles over establishing immigration policy & solution for DACA.

Views from the far-left….

Since so many conservatives are locked in to their echo-bubble messaging sources, it’s only reasonable to counter such extremism with progressive messaging.  Although maybe a bit exaggerated, many of these stories do have credence.  Time might even reveal them to be spot on.  Manafort is now on the hot-seat which could lead to Trump….​
