[highplainsdem]

Link to tweet

This, by the way, is next level crazy, inappropriate, unethical, stupid, incriminating.

Editing to add the Trump tweet he was responding to, just in case Trump deletes it after the widespread condemnation:

Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. GOP are all fucking traitors and us patriots will have to deal with this, eventually

[WestIndianArchie]

20. Amen brother

[CatMor]

2. That's because trump is ....

crazy, inappropriate, unethical and stupid.

[at140]

10. Agree that trump is crazy, inappropriate, unethical

Not sure about stupid, because stupid people seldom can get elected president.

I will add he is a narcissist self promoter, and a megalomaniac.

[CatMor]

12. I stand by trump not being smart ....

he's a con man, you don't have to be smart just crooked and unethical.

[at140]

16. How many crooked & unethical managed to get

elected and were stupid at the same time, among the 44 previous presidents?

[CatMor]

18. There is always a first time ...

how many previous presidents had the Russians interfering or the FBI making a statement right before the election. I can't remember a president in my time making such insane stupid statements all day every day as trump does.

[at140]

25. tRump will be gone after 2020 election or

if Mueller finds evidence of crimes sooner. Have patience. Just focus on working GOTV for next election.

[kag]

27. I agree with you, CatMor.

Trump is a moron. He got elected because he has no problem being unethical, nor do all of the people surrounding him, some of whom actually are kinda smart. Cheetohlini just sits back being an idiot, and lets other corrupt, unethical people clean up his messes.

[CatMor]

28. Thank you ... very well said on your part.

[Madam Mossfern]

31. ...and the punctuation!

It's just random.

[Hortensis]

3. Former Obama adviser Dan Pfeifer agrees about Repubs, Eliot.

8. Put it to voters this way: Republicons CREATED Trump, ENABLE him & PROTECT him. Keep brands welded.

[calimary]

23. YES. Definitely and Absolutely keep that brand going.

Laminate them together. And repeat as often as possible - to help the message seep in.

[Cha]

15. It's like Fraud has Tweeter

Tourette's.

[at140]

17. Sen Sasse called drumpf out on that tweet today.

There may be others as well, but I heard about Sasse's response myself.

[guillaumeb]

4. All excellent descriptions of Trump himself. eom

[GusBob]

5. I don't get the Obama reference?

There were not crimes when he was president or they are not crimes now?

[NNadir]

6. Look, the guy is a criminal nutcase. There's no point in trying to "get" what dribbles out of...

...his mouth while he openly obstructs justice.

The problem is the Congress, run by equally criminal Republicans. Crime and racism is their current mode of operation.

Idi Amin had more integrity than these people.

[Cha]

13. Right. Fraud's MO is to babble "Obama,

Hillary, and Democrats" when he's projecting his crimes.

[MyOwnPeace]

32. While our

"elected" representatives just sit there with their thumbs up their asses letting it all happen while NOT protecting the Constitution!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

33. disagree

They're not sitting there with their thumbs up their asses; they're shovelling our money into their coffers as fast as they can. Some of that transfer is direct, but most is through their owners by way of deregulation (pollution and corruption for profit) and tax breaks. They are hard at work dismantling any and everything that does not favor the ultra rich (individuals or corporations).

If they can recreate the culture, conditions, and government of the time of the robber barons (when J.P. Morgan loaned the U.S. gold to keep it afloat), they believe they can maintain power and luxury for themselves in perpetuity.

[MyOwnPeace]

35. You are correct.......

They ARE enriching themselves - at our expense. The "thumbs-up-the-ass" position is assumed whenever it comes time to protect the rights of the MAJORITY the did NOT vote for IQ45 and expect their elected officials to do what is right for the country, not themselves!

[summer_in_TX]

34. Yet more deliberate misinformation for his base

Trump makes a habit of bringing Obama or Hillary into the picture whenever he can to link them in people's brains to the allegations he makes. Besides his base, it can work on people who don't follow the news, low-information voters.

He's a conundrum. Stupid as all get out in many ways, while a master of propaganda and influencing an audience. I wonder. Some smart people with dementia cannot think through or learn new or complicated information. But in the well-worn areas in which they've thought a lot and formed strong opinions and habits, they can retain reason.

At least that description fits my day who turned 92 on Saturday. Unusually bright, a rebel, lifelong union member who owned and operated a union printshop in Austin, and a self-declared socialist. Doesn't get the details of medical information anymore, and his exceptional math skills have started deteriorating, but can make a strong argument on topics he's passionate about: Bernie, the Federal Reserve, and so forth. He's quite inflexible and very hard to persuade of anything. But I did get him to vote for Hillary in 2016.

Just wonder if some of that fits Trump. As a mobster and a huckster, he's thought of grifting, conning, and intimidating his whole life, so it makes sense if he still retains some abilities there, but is totally unable to understand tariffs and trade wars, international relations, and a host of other things associated with being president of the United States.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. RepubliCon enablers in Senate will try to let tRump appoint SCotUS judge who will judge him. . . nt

[Ligyron]

9. WTF is this even in reference to?

"...brought to a well publicized charge,... what charge? what two Replorable congressmen? Lunez and Rorapecker?

[RockRaven]

14. Collins from NY for insider trading, Hunter from CA for using campaign money for personal stuff

both indicted in the past couple of weeks. Trump apparently thinks the DOJ shouldn't enforce laws when GOP Congressmen are the ones breaking them.

[Ligyron]

22. oh yeah, I totally forgot about those two grifters.

Now I get it, thanks!

So many to keep track of and with Trump obstructing justice in plain sight with criminal intent, Unreal.

[malaise]

11. Seriously he should be impeached just for this tweet

It is mob behavior.

[Jarqui]

19. The main reason why someone this stupid is still in the Oval office

is that others with power, like the GOP and Putin, want him there.

[smirkymonkey]

21. You said it!

They need to stand up for this country and do something about him now!

[bucolic_frolic]

24. "The Jeff Sessions Justice Department" sounds like

a skit from a sitcom. Do they have a mailing address?

[shenmue]

26. This is called OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE also DUMB

[Toorich]

29. Well said.....

.... tRump and repuglicans goes together like peas and carrots. - Forrest Gump

[UTUSN]

30. K&R

[salin]

36. I sometimes wonder if those around him are hoping that he crashes and burns his presidency

This make me think of this old article:
