Trump daydreams about "everybody involved" with impeachment "in jail for treason (and more)"

“A lot of very good people were taken down by a small group of Dirty (Filthy) Cops, politicians, government officials, and an investigation that was illegally started & that SPIED on my campaign,” Trump tweeted.

“The Witch Hunt is sputtering badly, but still going on (Ukraine Hoax!),” he added. “If this had happened to a Presidential candidate, or President, who was a Democrat, everybody involved would long ago be in jail for treason (and more), and it would be considered the CRIME OF THE CENTURY, far bigger and more sinister than Watergate!”

Most people, even mob bosses, have some redeeming qualities. Trump has absolutely none. Stupid, ugly, mean, and vindictive. AND he doesn't care about anyone other than himself. Even his darling Ivanka, he'd throw her under the bus to save himself without hesitation.

He is pretty much a worthless human being, though in the right hands, he can temporarily be a useful idiot. No doubt, Putin mocks him behind his back on a regular basis.

"If I go down, I am taking the whole damn world with me! I'll show them." Then he can be the greatest monster in history, if there is anyone left to record history. "No one can destroy a world like me, believe me. No one knows destruction like I do."

Great choice. Yes, he does evoke that scene. No doubt about it. It came to mind a while back.

In fact, he is one of the reasons we have the three, co-equal branches of government. This is a real test of our will cement.

so now I am projecting that it is the investigators who are the criminals - by the way I've been doing that all my life until Speaker Pelosi said Efuckingnough!

So now she's crazy and all the investigators are traitors (to me of course, but that's all that counts)

committing crimes and try to hold him accountable. After all, he's Donald TRUMP, master of his own universe, and no one can challenge his authority to do just as he pleases.

Donald used to be a big fish in a relatively small pond. His biggest mistake was venturing into the ocean where he has so little control. His last and biggest con will be his downfall.

If? Already done: see "Impeachment of Bill Clinton". Was the outcome as he "predicts"? Hahahaha. If only.

His projections are showing (again).
He KNOWS he is guilty of crimes (high, low and everywhere in-between).
He KNOWS he can't allow his taxes and records and staff to testify or be examined in full.

So he lies, again and again and again and NO ONE in his "base" cares, and NO ONE in the Republican Party is willing to stand up to him.

This is like having to watch the school yard bully take everyone's lunch money day after day and remain powerless to stop it or intervene. It is madness.

He is hideousness incarnate.
He is malodorous made flesh.
He is stomach-churning unpleasantness brought to life.

He is, quite simply, the least-redeemable character in human history.
So far beyond "ugly" that if this was the Indy 500, he would be finishing the race while the rest of the field came out of turn one...on the first lap!!!

Totally agree, if Obama did half of what trump did, everybody involved would be in jail for treason.

He is right about the crime of the century. Funny how you just have to put on your Covfefe Reversal Glasses(tm) and there is the revelation that he is talking about himself and his MalAdministration of minions, sycophants and destructive appointees.

Is this all some sort of an aptitude test for Americans? Maybe, long ago, before literacy was common and there may not have even been a local newspaper yet, yeah, sure, carnival barkers like this could say anything and maybe get away with it for a while. However, now, there is just no excuse for it.

Now, instead of "the vulgar" that was often mentioned by the Enlightenment thinkers we get the dim minions. I really am transcending the partisan, (and other issues) and just going for the jugular: You support this? You just don't get it and there are too many of you for a country to have its common will enforced and expressed for the common good. That's a recipe for a downfall, historically.
