Yer President’s id is running wild

“These guys, the investigators, ought to be in jail. What they have done, working with the Obama intelligence agencies, is simply unprecedented. This is one of the greatest political hoaxes ever perpetrated on the people of this Country, and Mueller is a coverup.” Rush Limbaugh— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019
The Mueller investigation is totally conflicted, illegal and rigged! Should never have been allowed to begin, except for the Collusion and many crimes committed by the Democrats. Witch Hunt!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019
The president is agreeing with Rush Limbaugh that Mueller and the other investigators should be jailed. I guess they’ll string them up next to Hillary Clinton and the cast of Saturday Night Live which he also threatened with “retribution” today:
Nothing funny about tired Saturday Night Live on Fake News NBC! Question is, how do the Networks get away with these total Republican hit jobs without retribution? Likewise for many other shows? Very unfair and should be looked into. This is the real Collusion!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 17, 2019
It’s the President’s Day long weekend. I’m sure the founders would be so proud of where we’ve come.
I agree with this:
2. The usual response to this stuff is "Trump is a blowhard. He's not actually going to arrest Mueller. His threats are a sign of weakness, not authoritarianism." But in fact, a president making threats undermines democracy in a number of ways even if not acted on.— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) February 18, 2019
4. Let's be optimistic & say only 30% of population believe full Trumpian line. Still, for 30% to buy into an unhinged conspiracy theory with no basis in fact (that Mueller & his team are criminals) is a big problem.— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) February 18, 2019
I take this seriously because it’s scary as hell to have an arrogant, fascistic imbecile in the most powerful job on earth saying things like this for the very reason Jeet Heer spells out.
I don’t know if you can put this evil genie back in the bottle and it’s terrifying.
