Let’s be clear: we have a president who is a criminal and whose crimes, were he anyone else, should have landed him in prison for the rest of his life. Incomprehensible that he is free. Insane that he is president.

1. Yes It Is.

2. Its like the worst nightmare ever.

3. The Trump crime family belongs in prison.

4. His sister, a retired fed judge, should "go directly to jail"

and not stop and collect $200. His whole Crime Family should be tossed in a cell and have all their assets seized.

12. I think she is a sitting judge, not retired.

14. I have heard both within three hours on MSNBC.

The latest one said that she is a sitting judge and she be brought up on charges. It is a civil crime and they can face steep fines.

5. Totally agree.

[byronius]

6. Yup.

7. It feels like we're in a Groundhog Day Nightmare EVERY SINGLE DAY 😳

8. I wake up thinking that every day. I think it is ruining my health.

10. It has been horrible for so many mentally and physically!

Every day I wake up thinking "Well, he hasn't blown the world up yet."

9. Were it not for the 60MIL head start from daddy, he'd be dead or in prison.

Because he's not a smart criminal. He's a dumb, thin skinned criminal.

[SunSeeker]

13. It is estimated daddy gave him $413M in today's dollars.

That is quite a head start.

11. Applause for speaking plainly and clearly, rather than with measured balance. Not so hard. nt

15. The mainstream media has a really twisted idea about what constitutes "balance" or fairness.

I think it's partly a result of the highly effective "liberal media" narrative that right wingers have been pushing for the past several decades. The media is so damn afraid to call things as they are, and they overcompensate by acting as if all statements are equally valid opinions. There are no facts. There are no lies. There are only opinions.

Of course Trump is a criminal (for starters, he bragged openly about committing sexual assault). Of course Kavanaugh has repeatedly lied under oath. And of course the media won't bluntly state those facts.
