Trump just tweeted to quote Hannity saying the entire list SHS read today should lose clearances




“I’d strip the whole bunch of them. They’re all corrupt. They’ve all abused their power. They’ve all betrayed the American people with a political agenda. They tried to steal and influence an election in the United States.” @seanhannity

I want him dazed and confused, numb and dumb, shufflin' and scufflin' down the hallway, hugging the walls for support, unable to put two words together, much less a sentence. Not knowin' who he is, where he is,or how he got there, and bat shit crazy.

Plus it would make the 25th Amendment a lot easier to pull together,

Then milions of Americans will take to the streets and use their 1st Amendment rights to Free Speech and tell Trump in a loud voice, "You'really fired you piece of shit! "

he'll parrot anything he hears without thinking about the consequences or understanding the self inflicted problems he creates. He's exploitable and anyone can influence him and manipulate him.

http://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/sean-hannity-deep-end-trump-donald/12045/

Donald Trump is having a historic night, in the sense that he’s posting far more tweets, and far more ridiculously incoherent tweets, than he perhaps ever has. The pressure has clearly gotten to him, and what little might have been left of his coherence has now fully snapped. Trump has ranted about everything from Hillary Clinton to a “gong” tonight, and now he’s going berserk about Sean Hannity.

First he quoted one of his longtime political lackeys while attacking former CIA Director John Brennan. Then he quoted one of his legal lackeys while trying to blame Hillary Clinton for his own crimes. Then he tweeted “WE’RE NOT GONG” in all capital letters when he meant “WE’RE NOT GOING.” But as it turns out, that was just a mere warm-up act for what would come next.

Trump posted this quote from Fox News lie-teller Sean Hannity, who is himself wrapped up in the Trump-Russia scandal: “I’d strip the whole bunch of them. They’re all corrupt. They’ve all abused their power. They’ve all betrayed the American people with a political agenda. They tried to steal and influence an election in the United States.” Hannity was presumably talking about stripping security clearance from everyone who has ever criticized Trump. But some respondents pointed out that without the proper context, Trump made it sound like Hannity was talking about simply stripping everyone’s clothes off.

So there we have it. It’s now approaching midnight on the east coast. Donald Trump has posted five insane tweets in the past two hours – six tweets if you count the “gong” tweet, which he deleted. He’s clearly the most rattled he’s been in a long time. This can’t simply be because of how poorly today went for him. He must either know, or fear, that a huge bombshell is about to drop on him in the next day or two. And to top it all off, he’s quoting Sean Hannity of all people. Next he’ll be quoting Benedict Arnold.

Maybe that's what Susan Sarandon, Bernie Sanders, Jill Stein and all the rest of the "real" progressives wanted when they told us, "meh, WTF...I mean Hillary's just the same as Donnie Shit for Brains".

Oh, I know my post will get deleted, but WTF? I mean seriously...WTF???

A bat wearing a blindfold in a fucking black hole could have seen what the fuck was coming if we elected Donnie Short Fingers and gave him a Retrumplican majority in the House and Senate to play with.

Congratulations!!
