Bullshit Trump Says

It's going to take a generation to reverse the damage from this guy. If we even make it that far.

 
It’s a pretty big tell of what the Nunes fantasy memo will be.

Fantasy: the democrats paid for a dossier that the FBI and DOJ used to get surveillance on a member of trumps campaign because they are anti-trump and wanted to gather information to use against trump and his campaign.

Reality: a member of trumps campaign has been under surveillance for years when a renewal was granted, the surveillance and renewal were legit because the person of interest had extreme ties to bad actor foreign nationals, during this time a dossier paid for at first by republican opposition then democrat opposition was compiled showing all the links the campaign itself had to bad actors. This information was shared with the FBI, who could have thrown it in the pile with all the other justifiable reasons to continue carter pages surveillance, or maybe they didn’t doesn’t actually matter.

Bingo
 
And during all this, the FBI didn’t tell the American people while falling all over themselves about Hillary’s emails.

And those people are supposedly conducting a coup against Trump.
 
From a macro perspective it's abundantly clear what Donald is doing: discrediting anyone who has power to undermine him (which just so happen to be institutional norms serving as checks on the power of the executive).

1. Any negative coverage is fake news - can't be trusted. Undermines the role of the Fourth Estate by attacking its credibility. Information coming from Donald and his cabal is the only true, reliable information.

2. Investigations by lifelong law enforcement and civil servants into any allegations of wrongdoing. They're liars with an agenda acting in their own interests to maintain the deep state's stranglehold on America where the bureaucracy and administrative state are the real power pushers in Washington. We can't trust anything they say because they're doing it solely to save their own skin. Again, the information coming from Donald and his cabal is the only true, reliable information.

3. Attacking the judiciary by accusing them of being in on the deep state witch hunt. Undermining credibility in the branch of government which traditionally has the highest approval ratings of the three with the public. Attacking the judiciary for partisan bias so that any negative rulings against his administration can be spun, again as, wait for it....fake news where Donald and his cabal possess the only real information.

To figure out how Donald will react (and therefore rubes who buy into him will react - and make no mistake, these are one and the same - if you buy into the fiction that Donald is peddling you're a rube) all you have to do is see if the individual, entity, or group could, in any way, pose a threat to Donald's ability to consolidate power in an authoritarian manner so he can wield more individual influence. The byproduct of this is a consistent attempt to subvert America's democratic institutional norms. Meanwhile roughly 40% of the country, including rubes like Moonz, Sailor, and TheReff are buying in hook line and sinker like a bunch of naive little boys. It's sad.
 
This is significantly more serious and dangerous than Watergate. Nixon was capable of admitting his own wrongdoing and repenting. Trump is not, and has the biggest cable news station, the loony talk radio zealots, and, sadly, the Republican Congress on his side willing to lie, cheat and obstruct Trump's way out of this. They will keep all keep fighting and obfuscating and destroying everything in their path and Trump will never admit his culpability.

The economy is better than ever (for everyone, even minorities). What damage are we going to have to reverse? Liberal butthurt? Lube up, Sally! You have another seven years of hell ahead.

I'm guessing the hold up is over risking the release of information that would either A: Put informants currently being tapped at risk or B: Alert other marks that they are being tapped.

With regard to it taking decades to fix what Trump is breaking, I'm not saying that people should put blind faith in their government, but this populist nonsense has got to stop before they poison generations. If you were going to devise a plan to destroy a democracy, it would involve pushing both parties to their radical edges, then discrediting the justice department.

He wasted vast amounts of money while making tens of millions of people dependent on government largesse. Am I supposed to thank Dear Leader for his best effort to turn America into a slacker's paradise?

He cynically wasted an opportunity to rebuild America by buying the votes of the downtrodden and dependent Democrat base.
