on Trump goes viralhttps://www.rawstory.com/2019/09/a-threat-to-virtually-everything-that-the-united-states-should-stand-for-scathing-nyt-op-ed-on-trump-goes-viral/
A damning piece by New York Times Opinion Columnist David Leonhardt is going viral. Donald Trump vs. the United States of America says its Just the facts, in 40 sentences.
Thats all it is.
40 sentences, 40 facts chronicling President Donald Trumps lawlessness, self-dealing, un-American behavior, attempts to do real damage to vital institutions, and grotesque acts. Some are impeachable offenses. Some are just not worthy or are disqualifying of a president of the United States.
A few excerpts:
He often declines to read briefing books or perform other basic functions of a presidents job.
He lied to the American people about his companys business dealings in Russia.
He publicly undermined American intelligence agents while standing next to a hostile foreign autocrat.

How about pilfering money from congress-authorized uses to build a vanity wall?
The hundreds of lobbyists placed in regulatory and administrative positions?
How about not staffing the State Dept?
How about not defending the country against cyber attack?
How about using powers to appoint 'acting' cabinet members to get around congressional approval?
How about DOJ hiding the mueller report and blocking congress's ability to see mueller docs, counter intelligence intelligence reports, and more?
How about floating pardons and encouraging staff to break the law to get the wall built?
How about Kellyann still free to violating the law, preaching politics while on govt payroll?
How about the swamp status?
How about money laundering for decades?
I wish media would stop spending days on one issue without evaluating how it fits into the larger picture. Everything is part of a pattern and the pattern is diminished when we forget that.
