The Right allows this in quiet agreement out of h**e for Liberals but this "quiet agreement" acts as h**e or disrespect for American decency, values, principles and laws. The president is setting the bar as low as it can go (presently, only a snake, a skinny snake, can get under it) and we may never raise it again as his amoral, con man character becomes the new norm for politics in this nation and the Right fails to speak t***h to power, in order to preserve and protect this country, just to watch the Liberal suffer. It is so outrageous I can barely breathe at times. Remember again: it can happen here...and it may already have.

It's always darkest before the dawn.

The right's hatred of liberals can only hurt if taken seriously. I am mostly amused, at this point, by the right.
Remember, it's a big country with room enough for all. I actually pity some on the right as they are clearly out of their depth and only parrot Trump talking points. This, too, shall pass and after this step backwards, there will be two forward after the mistakes are analyzed and corrected by the American people. Keep the faith, man.

Where do you think you are, in a video arcade? The left's hatred of president Trump and his supporters is a very serious threat to our country. The attacks began nearly 4 years ago, and all roads lead to the Obama/Hillary/DNC conspiracy to o*******w a l********e p*******tial e******n. If you nimrods choose to continue denying the t***h about the greatest political scandal in our history, then don't start crying when it is exposed for the world to see.

There is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed, nothing covered that will not come to light.

Blade, deflecting from Trump's horrendous words and actions throughout his life by the utterly ridiculous and self-contradictory wild conspiracy that "lead to the Obama/Hillary/DNC conspiracy to o*******w a l********e p*******tial e******n." The absurdity of it blends to madness. The DNC and Hillary, through a crowdserver in the Ukraine looked to sabotage themselves and a chance for e******n. Brilliant!...hahaha. Wait, for the Season: Hohohoho....

I get a little bit nervous by ignorant people who form beliefs rather than intelligent reason, Hitler got a bit out of hand because enough believers went along with and supported him. The blind support involved here should worry people.

rumitoid

Wow, you nailed it for me. Did not recognize what sometimes drives me over the edge with Trump and supporters. Very frightening and dangerous.

Are you hallucinating? Democrats trying to win the 2020 e******n is not a conspiracy to o*******w the President. The left isn't the only side feeling the h**e, and is no more of a threat to this country than your side. If you don't like the way they are going about it, too bad. The President sets the tone for political discourse and this is where we are....in the gutter because that is where Trump likes to operate.

working class stiff Loc: N. Carolina

The comparison to Hitler is misleading. Most Germans in the late 30s and early 40s supported Hitler, whereas Trump only has the blind support of a minority. The majority of folks v**ed against Trump, and still do not support him. That is a major difference.

I'm beginning to think you are mentally incompetent . Your statement sounds like you have a screw loose.

rumitoid

This is what really tries my grasp of reality: all these seemingly good people unable to recognize what an ass and threat to our nation is the president. It is neon lights and fireworks...and they do not see it!

How you allowed yourself to be deceived is anyone's guess. Most likely media spoon feeding is responsible. Go ahead and keep laughing, fool, but keep in mind the t***h will make you free.

Obama’s FISA Men In Black Played Key Role in Russian E******n Conspiracy


The Real Coilusion Story

In a textbook example of denial and projection, Trump foes in and out of government wove a sinister yarn meant to take him down.

Barack Obama keeps a close watch on his emotions. “I loved Spock,” he wrote in February 2015 in a p**********l statement eulogizing Leonard Nimoy. Growing up in Hawaii, the young man who would later be called “No-Drama Obama” felt a special affinity for the Vulcan first officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise. “Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy,” the eulogy continued. “Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed.”

It is the rare occasion when Obama lets his Spock mask slip. But November 2, 2016, was just such a moment. Six days before the p**********l e******n, when addressing the Congressional Black Caucus, he stressed that the Republican candidate, Donald Trump, threatened hard-won achievements of b****s: tolerance, justice, good schools, ending mass incarceration — even democracy itself. “There is one candidate who will advance those things,” he said, his voice swelling with emotion. “And there’s another candidate whose defining principle, the central theme of his candidacy, is opposition to all that we’ve done.”

The open display of emotion was new, but the theme of safeguarding his legacy was not. Two months earlier, on July 5, in Charlotte, N.C., Obama delivered his first stump speech for Hillary Clinton. He described his presidency as a leg in a relay race. Hillary Clinton had tried hard to pass affordable health care during Bill Clinton’s administration, but she failed — and the relay baton fell to the ground. When Obama entered the White House, he picked it up. Now, his leg of the race was coming to an end. “I’m ready to pass the baton,” he said. “And I know that Hillary Clinton is going to take it.”

But he was less certain than he was letting on. Hillary Clinton was up in the polls, to be sure, but she was vulnerable. Three weeks earlier, on June 15, a cyberattacker fashioning himself as Guccifer 2.0 had published a cache of emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee (DNC). They proved, as supporters of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders had long alleged, that the DNC had conspired with the Clinton campaign to undermine their candidate. Sanders was still withholding his endorsement of Clinton for president, even though her nomination as the Democratic candidate was now a foregone conclusion. At the very moment when Clinton had expected the Democratic party to unite behind her, its deepest chasm seemed to be growing wider. In contrast to Clinton, Obama held some sway over the Sanders insurgents. He came to Charlotte to urge them to support Clinton against their shared enemy, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, Donald Trump.

The insurgency was not the only Clinton vulnerability on Obama’s mind. He had come to Charlotte, in addition, to deflect attention from the news conference that James Comey, the director of the FBI, had held that morning in Washington, D.C. The investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server was complete, Comey announced. The FBI would recommend no criminal charges — that was the honey. But Comey administered it with a dose of vinegar. He dwelled on Clinton’s mishandling of classified material in such detail that it sounded as if he was laying the foundation for an indictment. The decision not to charge Clinton, his statement signaled, was an exercise in prosecutorial restraint, not a true exoneration.

From the perspective of the v**ers, Clinton’s twin email travails — the hack of the DNC and the investigation into her server — were two faces of a single problem. Call it “Clinton, Inc.” Sanders and Trump were painting Clinton as Wall Street’s darling, the establishment candidate. She was the greatest defender and a prime beneficiary of a r****d political and financial system. Comey’s statement had played directly into the hands of the Sanders insurgents. It left the distinct impression that laws are for the little people; they simply don’t apply to Hillary Clinton, because, well, she’s Hillary Clinton.

Which points to Obama’s third and final job at Charlotte: humanizing the queen. “I saw how she treated everybody with respect, even the folks who aren’t, quote/unquote, ‘important,’” Obama testified. He enlarged Clinton’s humility before the crowd, because it was invisible to the naked eye. With his jacket and tie off, the cuffs of his sleeves turned, and a winning smile spread from ear to ear, Obama came to loan Hillary Clinton his common touch.

Passing the baton to her was a team effort, however. It demanded hard work from countless enablers. These included not just Democrats but also many Republicans, who shared the conviction that Trump represented an extraordinary threat to our democracy. Desperate times call for desperate measures. To block Trump, Clinton’s supporters bent rules and broke laws. They went to surprising lengths to strengthen her while framing him — both in the sense of depicting him in a particular light and of planting evidence against him.

When it comes to ongoing FBI criminal investigations, presidents typically refrain from describing their preferred outcomes. They fear the appearance of exerting undue influence over Lady Justice. But in the case of Hillary Clinton’s email abuses, Obama made an exception. “She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy,” he remarked in a TV interview in April 2016. She has displayed “a carelessness in terms of managing emails,” he allowed. “But I also think it is important to keep this in perspective.”

Oh, my gawd. Now I know the t***h....Obama wanted Mrs. Clinton to win the e******n and supported her.

That is unexpected. What a scandal indeed.

Love all this article, will pour over it when I have time...but what has it to do with Trump. Hint: nothing! Respond to the thread, not a defense of Trump by distraction. Stick to the topic. Wh**ever Obama did does not excuse Trump from what he did. Foolish attempts to mitigate the ugliness of Trump by any standard other than decency is so Trumpian.
