The nation is close to dead

Remember when you were in grade school? Like, maybe, 4th grade (shout out to South Park). And you remember when your teacher had a local professional come to class to speak to the kids about their job, and then suddenly the idiot kids start telling them what they "should do?"

"Oh you're a garbage man? What you should do is spread all the trash out on the street so that people can take what they want before it goes to the dump."

"Oh you're a mailman? What you should do is open the letters first and read them so that you don't deliver mail people don't want."

"Oh you're a cook? What you should do is bring everyone free samples of all the food you sell so that we can taste it and decide what we want to eat."

"Oh you're a border agent? What you should do is build a moat around the country filled with snakes and alligators, and if immigrants swim through that, then shoot them in the legs."

Could you imagine if Obama owned multiple hotel and resorts and there were massive reservations followed by empty rooms? Could you imagine the outcry from the Right about the emoluments clause, corruption, and bribery?

See that? Obama said that in 2011 when he was basically parodying the extreme stance on immigration/border protection on the part of the Right.

And now the concept has become reality.

Here you go. Obama mocking the GOP in 2011.

Im not going to lie to you, I love seeing the despair coming from the poor, racist, easily manipulated tools like ajax1(adolf)8(Hitler) when it comes to the state of this country. I love that gullible, impotent, shit-for-brains white supremacists who spend their days digesting right wing propaganda feel like the the country they wish existed was dying off. When you have nothing but your skin color and claims to your "ancestral" lands to offer society, you are worthless. Society is doing something right even with the orange stain occupying the white house...

Religious, old, white, sister diddling bigots are losing power and can do nothing beyond cower in their crappy hollers and bitch about how the nation is dying (because you know mr 18 is way too much of a chicken crap to actually get out and do anything about it).

Its also validating to see that religious devotion and support for Trump are highly correlated. I have never doubted the hypocrisy of the religious "right" but its nice to see it in action. Its been a treat to watch claimed "christians"/devout Mormons justify support for a pussy grabbing, cheating, lying, incompetent, selfish, dishonest and un-"christian" white supremacist garbage human just because he has an R next to his name.

As a gun owning, fiscal conservative, its obvious to me that the repubulican party has lost its mind and given up any claim to both the moral high ground and the party of fiscal responsibility by blindly supporting fookface von clowstick.

Could you imagine what the Right would've been saying if Obama had suggested that? Can you imagine if Obama had inherited his wealth, bankrupted a half dozens businesses, had multiple children with multiple wives, was a serial adulterer, is on record saying he kisses other married women because he can’t help it and grabs women by their pussies, insults veterans, dodged the draft, and can barely form coherent sentences unless he’s reading from a teleprompter? Could you imagine if Obama had five kids from three different women? What if Obama had a private email AND a private phone like Trump? Imagine if...

Imagine if Obama asked Iran to hack the RNC.

Imagine if Obama ignored the reports of our intelligence agencies that Iran was heavily involved in our election process.

Imagine if Obama said he trusted Hassan Rouhani over the NSA, CIA and FBI on a global stage.

Imagine if Obama had a meeting with Hassan Rouhani where he took his interpreter’s notes and ordered him not to disclose what he heard to anyone.

Imagine if Obama was building an Obama tower in Iran after lying about it.

Imagine if Obama had Iranian intelligence in the oval office without the US press after he fired the FBI director for looking into his ties to Iran.

Imagine if Obama’s administration reversed 25 National Security Clearance denials.

Imagine if Obama’s administration reversed the denial of Sasha and Malia’s national security clearances.

Imagine if Obama hired Malia for an unspecified job in the White House.

Imagine if Obama made sexual comments about his daughters, and even suggested that if they weren’t related, he would date them.

Imagine if Obama’s personal lawyer was the Deputy Finance Chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Imagine if Obama paid off a porn star during his run for presidency to keep her quiet about an affair from years before while his 3rd wife was taking care of his 5th child.

Imagine if Obama and Rachel Maddow talked every evening.

Imagine if they shared the same lawyer.

Imagine if Obama took Rachel Maddow to meet with Kim Jong Un.

Imagine if Obama bragged that being a congressman allowed him to “Grab ‘em by the pussy. You could do anything.”

Imagine if Obama’s Secretary of Labor covered up underage sex trafficking for a California multi-millionaire whom Obama knew for 15 years and said of him, “Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

Imagine if Obama told someone to break the law and he would pardon them.

Imagine if Obama’s campaign chairman was sent to federal prison for 7.5 years.

Imagine if Obama offered to release his taxes and never did.

Imagine if Obama claimed Bush was not an American unless Bush showed his birth certificate.

Imagine if Obama ordered a very high-risk military raid that Bush rejected because it was too dangerous, and it killed dozens of civilians, including an 8 year-old American girl.

Imagine if Obama sent troops to the northern border in order to help him campaign for the midterm.

Imagine if Obama declared a National Emergency to secure funding to build a wall on the US-Canada border.

Imagine if Obama claimed “victory" after Eric Holder got a report from a Special Counsel on possible crimes Obama committed, made a public release saying “the report does not exonerate him, but I myself have looked at the evidence and exonerate him,” and then told Congress that he will not share the full report with Congress.

Imagine if Obama said “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m screwed,” after Eric Holder recused himself and told Obama a Special Counsel was investigating him.

Imagine if Obama said he would head to the Supreme Court if the Republicans tried to impeach him.

Imagine if Obama sold weapons to Afghanistan after they were “suspected” of torturing and dismembering a US media member.

Imagine if Obama sided with Ali Khamenei against Mitt Romney.

Imagine if Obama had a call with Iran during a Republican Primary debate, and people only knew about it because Iran told the media.

Imagine if Obama shared a photo from a classified US surveillance satellite.

Imagine if Obama falsified a National Weather Service forecast and passed it off as official.

Imagine if Obama planned to host a G7 summit at his Hawaii beach resort.

Imagine if Obama said “Make America Great Again.”

Imagine if Obama made fun of a disabled guy on stage in front of cameras and a large crowd.

Remember how mad they were when Obama played golf? What if Obama enlisted Ukraine, Australia, Italy, and now Britain for “favors” reference his re-election?

Thanks for reiterating this list of misdeeds. All of this is so well documented and damning that anyone who still insists on supporting Trump has to be seriously delusional or willfully ignorant of current events. Nothing that Obama ever did or was alleged to have done comes even close to being as bad as what everyone already knows Trump has done. The worst part of it is that much of Trump's loyal base knows everything on the list is true, and stupidly defends and supports him anyway!

[_Some Schmo]

In private conversations, President Donald Trump has advocated for building a water-filled trench stocked with snakes or alligators along the nation’s southern border. He also wanted to electrify the border wall and top it with spikes and suggested that soldiers shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down.

This was exactly the first thing I thought of when I heard Trump's ideas too.

There's something about being comically evil and stupid that makes you say crap like this out loud.

It cannot be stressed enough how poorly supporting Trump reflects on one's own personal character, especially in the area of judgment.

[_Res Ipsa]

Trump went on a rant about this article on TV today, railing against the Washington Post.

Except the story was in the New York Times.

I guess the corrupt media is fungible.

Imagine if Obama shat out dozens of semi-literate tweets a day:

This is still one of the craziest aspects of the Trump presidency. Foreign and domestic people looking to influence the US government, including people whose interests are opposed to Americans, hand giant piles of cash over directly to Donald Trump via buildings with his name on it in giant letters and successfully purchase that influence.

Republicans complain about aspects of the Trump presidency, but they are near 100% unified in being fine with this and, because Democrats spend their outrage on other things, the media covers it as vaguely unseemly, but business as usual. This is the sort of thing that would've been thought a bright line impeachable offense by near everyone not that long ago.
