Donald Trump is a criminal.

[kentuck]

No amount of bullshit, no amount of lies, no amount of excuses, can change that simple fact.

No amount of blaming others can make it go away.

His lies about "deep state", about "fake news", about people "out to get him", do not change the basic facts.

His "walls" and his "deals" are nothing more than distractions from his criminality and his incompetence.

He is full of bullshit and he is very good at spreading it around.

Some people buy it. Some people don't.

It is what it is.

1. And not a peep from any Republican.

[dem4decades]

8. Including Mueller, so i guess he's home free.

[Baltimike]

24. not true at all

[dem4decades]

35. How so? He punted on Jr and Sr. And then refused to call a criminal a criminal.

SDNY at least had the balls to call out Individual One, different Justice Department or different sense of justice?

[Hoyt]

30. Yep, Mueller wimped out and let trump, his kids, and campaign officials off the hook.

Maybe they'll get him on something besides Russian interference, but Mueller really had to stretch to let trump off the most serious allegations -- cooperating/conspiring with Russians.

[triron]

42. Agree wholeheartedly.

[olegramps]

13. The entire Republican Party is a criminal enterprise.

Each Republican president dating from Nixon has numerous of their administration sent to prison. I can only hope that Trump is pursued by the courts and will be the first of these scum that all deserved prison terms. The Republican Party is in many ways worse than the Mafia. You knew what you were dealing with. In the case of the Republicans they are underhanded liars and cut throats who would throw their own grandmother under the bus.

33. At what point do we recognize the inherent criminality?

And get down to RICO actions against them?

[Golden Raisin]

18. Hard to decide which complicit Congressional Republicans

are more evil: those who stand by remaining silent while our Democracy, Constitution and the Rule of Law are being burned down in front of our eyes, or those who actively aid and abet. Both are long lists in both Houses.

[ginnyinWI]

2. There is a criminal in the White House.

It has been my signature line for some months now.

[watoos]

3. He is a con man, very fragile, very much afraid right now.

When he accuses people of wrongdoing or of failings, he is projecting his own faults onto others.

He lies so much that when he says something the truth will be the opposite of what he says.

I am just an internet doctor but Trump has serious mental and or physical problems. He may not have avoided those STD's like he claims. His syphilis may be out of control.

[dalton99a]

9. +1. For debate prep, whoever wins the nomination should use an actual mental patient

with psychiatric symptoms similar to Trump's

We already know he doesn't debate like normal people

[elias7]

4. "Some people buy it. Some people don't"

That’s pretty much it in a nutshell

[FakeNoose]

5. Why do we still call him a "President"?

[calimary]

22. Excellent graphic! A keeper!

[calimary]

49. Wrong title, though. Should be So-Called "pResident."

[Cicada]

6. The October NYT article proved Trump is a tax felon

The family stole hundreds of millions. Donald was involved. Time for jail has expired but tax agencies can recover the stolen money. NYT won the Pulitzer Prize for the story. Leona Helmsley was jailed for stealing a million.

[sop]

16. Martha Stewart went to prison for making false statements to federal investigators,

conspiracy and obstruction on a relatively insignificant matter. If Trump skates on his crimes, because the powers that be decide "it's time to move on, for the good of the country" after he leaves office, I think my head will explode.

[Cicada]

39. On the other hand, jailing leaders can cause civil war

Manafort’s previous Russian stooge, in Ukraine, accused the Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko of crimes. He said she should be jailed. He won, she went to jail. Then her supporters took up weapons, and the country fractured into east and west. Jailing her killed democracy in Ukraine. Will jailing Trump risk more harm that it’s worth? Will Trump supporters bomb “deep state” government buildings?

[kentuck]

40. Good point!

However, it cannot be only one side that exercises restraint.

[Kid Berwyn]

7. Kicks down. Kisses up.

[mr_lebowski]

14. Picture. 1000 Words ...

Can't decide if Donald's ... or Melania's ... expression ... is more disturbing.

On 2nd thought, it's Donald's. Melania's 'now DAT is REAL MAN' look ... is kinda to be expected, given her whole scene.

[Doitnow]

47. If 45 is happy while everyone is concerned and sad, something horrible must be happening to someone.

[calimary]

20. Sheesh, what a photo!

Vassal smiles at his great benefactor.

[FakeNoose]

32. That's the back of Pootie's head

... in case anybody is wondering.

[rampartc]

10. fraud of every kind

bank fraud, tax fraud, trump university fraud, multi level marketing and selling condos he does not intend to build.

[sop]

11. Trump has clearly demonstrated there is no rule of law in this country

The concept that no one is above the law has been proven a myth. That whole checks and balances thing we were all taught back in school is crappola. It's delusional to still believe in the constitution and the three branches of separate but equal government. The Trump experience has been a tipping point, the blinders have been removed.

[FakeNoose]

34. Well we did have rule of law until he destroyed it

Now it's up to our Democratic leaders to restore rule of law in our country. I really and truly hope this is the end of the Repukes. They will never be trusted or enabled again.

[Laurian]

12. And Twitter is his fucking echo chamber.

This morning, I decided to stop following anyone on Twitter other than my favorite sports teams. I can’t take anymore of this bullshit.

Even if those retweeting his tweets are criticizing him, it still repeats his outrageous lies and gives them a bigger audience. He needs to be ignored. He’d shrivel up with rage if he was ignored.

[yaesu]

15. We have a constitutional duty to impeach this criminal whether its hard to or not nt

[MBS]

17. You are so right. n/t

[calimary]

23. I hope you're writing and calling your reps about that.

No justice, no peace for our Reps who don’t want to move in this. They’re gonna have to be led. Arm-twisted. Force-fed. Strong-armed. Dragged kid cling and screaming into the light.

[Pepsidog]

19. Career criminal

[patphil]

21. I live about 50 miles north of New York City

I'm well aware of the way Trump conducts his business.
He is essentially the head of a crime family.
Not quite of the brutal nature of Mafia, but deeply immersed in shady and often downright illegal dealings, usually in the real estate market.
He's been at this for decades and should have been taken down long ago.
Unfortunately, there are lots of people like him who fly beneath the radar for their whole lives; making sure they have the right friends in the right places to insure they never get called on their crimes.
Trump made the mistake of believing his own hype and going public in a big way. And now his financial dealings are also about to become public.
This is what will bring him and his criminal enterprises down in the long run.

28. We don't really know about the "not quite of the brutal nature of Mafia" part do we?

It would be unsurprising if it turns out so. We also really don't know how far he will go. Knowing what we do know about him, it wouldn't and shouldn't be surprising.

[KPN]

25. "Donald Trump is a criminal". Every elected and/or campaigning Democrat should utter these words

publicly at least daily until he is gone from the political arena entirely. Never let up. Just like they never let up on Hillary Clinton -- or her husband for that matter.

If we want to make it stick, we need to beat the drum repeatedly -- "Donald Trump is a criminal".

[gopiscrap]

26. Darn right he is

[bucolic_frolic]

27. The real question is how are you going to convince the public?

because when you visit Breitbart, Trumpers are in full battle gear, you can't convince them that Trump has ever told a lie.

When is this right wing distortion going to end? These people are demented.

I only post occasionally now. Been off for about 8 months. But I do feel ok making a comment here and there. See many of the same folks still resisting as hard as ever.

[kentuck]

29. It can be shortened for effect...

"Lock him up!"

[SunSeeker]

31. The very words "President Trump," make me ill. It's such an abomination that he's POTUS.

[G_j]

36. X 100000...

[Bluepinky]

37. And he has been a criminal for a long time,

scamming insurance companies, lying to banks on loan applications, not paying income taxes, declaring bankruptcy falsely, racial profiling, and on and on.

His corrupt behavior has been going on a long, long time.

[kentuck]

38. He is the most rotten apple in the whole barrel...

...and he has gotten away with it.

[Marie Marie]

41. Yes, Trump is a criminal. And what is even worse is that

he is proud of it.

[Grasswire2]

43. Mob boss mentality.

It explains everything. Untouchable, he thought/thinks.

[Marie Marie]

44. Good point - spot on.

[FiveGoodMen]

46. He IS untouchable

Unless and until someone is actually willing to go after him.

We should do more than just catalog our enemy's offenses.

[FiveGoodMen]

45. I sure wish that that mattered in D.C.

But I see very little sign that it does.

[Nitram]

48. "Donald Trump is a criminal." What was your first clue? LOL.
