Trump did it and hes going down for a host of crimes, and some of them have nothing to do with Russia

Ive been covering the Trump story for over a year now, and Im sick and tired of stacking up the details of his treachery day after day, week after week. What more do you need to know? Hes a lying, thieving, incompetent, ignorant traitor who conspired with the Russian government to steal the election of 2016 and illegally defeat a candidate who won the popular vote by nearly 3 million ballots. His presidency is illegitimate, and his occupation of the White House is a stain on our nations honor and a threat to our democracy. History will cast him into the same sewer in which float the putrid remains of Benedict Arnold, Jefferson Davis and Richard Nixon. Impeachment would be too kind an end for him. He belongs behind bars, broken, bankrupt and disgraced.
Every day the front pages of the newspapers and the headlines of the cable news shows are filled with evidence of Trumps lies and thievery. Look at what happened this week alone.
Trump started out denying that he even knew Stormy Daniels, then he denied having a sexual relationship with her, then he said he didnt know about any payoffs to her. Monday, he filed his required federal financial disclosure form in which he effectively admitted making the $130,000 payment to shut her up just before the election in 2016.
He did an about-face on trade restrictions on China, announcing that he would seek to help the Chinese communications giant ZTE, which paid a $1.2 billion fine last year for violating sanctions against trade with North Korea and Iran. Three days previously, China had issued a half-billion dollar loan to a development project in Singapore that includes Trump-branded hotels, golf courses and condos.

There will be a day of reckoning.

(58,785 posts)he is mentally disordered. There's a limit to how much I can pile on a man who has no ability to appreciate, and little to understand, morality or what principles mean, and who has about as much insight into himself as our cat.
Now, I have real malice toward the people who elected this depraved fraction of a human being. They knew the kind of things he was doing and had been doing for years when they elected him. If I could I'd sentence them all to have him move into their homes, a life sentence while he lived. Since they wanted him, they should have him.

(7,432 posts)IMO, I don't want to read of or hear it anymore. And I know the jargon. I've no reason to attribute to Trumpy anything connoting him being victimized by his childhood, his biochemical imbalance, his creeping Alzheimer's, or his latest engorgement of cheeseburgers. He's just a fucking evil human being with no excuse. He practices evil. His behavior is evil because his soul is evil. Everything else has no more meaning.

(58,785 posts)Lots of forums here, though. There may well be another one that draws people who prefer to go straight to punishment, unimpeded by the frustrating limitations of expert diagnoses and rules of law. If not, you should find some like minds over on DI, Conservative Cave for sure.

(2,541 posts)The apparent blatant extortion of Qatar to bail out Kushner. Maybe it is in the article, I have not read it yet.
TRMS did a couple of segments this week on this and still republicans are silent. Hopefully when trump is held accountable for what he has done the rest of the republican party goes down with him. After their complicity in what trump has done the Republican Party simply cannot remain to be viewed as a legitimate political group that is competent and trustworthy to lead the nation.

(3,515 posts)remember what the "Russia" investigation is about.
I think that calling it the "Russia" investigation is a bit misleading.
It has to do with Russia in a sense, but it is very simply an old-fashioned "corruption" investigation. Certain Russians may be a part of it. The corruption may have involved Russians, but the reality is that the investigation is about corruption of the certain Americans involved in Trump's campaign and Trump himself.
Corrupt Russians are a problem for Russians.
Our problem is not that the Russians are corrupt but that our president may be seriously involved in corruption with not just the Russians but with people from other countries like maybe Qatar and China. We won't know for sure whether anyone will be convicted unless and until there are trials, but there seems to be enough evidence to put people on trial.
The whole thing really makes me feel sad because I care about people even the Trumps, even if they don't care about anyone else, and I don't want even Trump to be guilty of corruption.
Facts are facts. And they sure point toward the need to at least obtain confessions or trials. It's a very bitter, very shameful situation. I don't see how Trump could find the nerve to run for president when he knew what we now know about his life. We shall see what happens.
But we can't just dismiss the facts we know.

(9,722 posts)given a house in Flint to live out his end days. (Sorry, Flint you really dont deserve to be his prison.) Not allowed to leave the city limits. Forced to do his own shopping with, of course, no money, forced to do his own laundry wait(!)the water is not that bad. Sarcasm for those that missed it. Forced to have to figure out just how to feed himself, Big Macs will be out of his price range. No one would be allowed to give him any money, hed be forced to apply for Welfare.
No health insurance, no doctors willing to lie to him about his health. No Medicare, no Social Security.
Force him to live as the poorest of the poor live.
Take away his phone he couldnt afford it anyway.
Prison is too good for that ass, let him suffer.
