'president' don trump retweeted this today....



NOW THAT RUSSIA COLLUSION IS A PROVEN LIE, WHEN DO THE TRIALS FOR TREASON BEGIN?


Trump retweets meme calling for imprisonment of his own deputy attorney general

President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning retweeted a meme calling for a number of prominent Democrats and law enforcement and intelligence officials to be imprisoned.

Behind text that reads, “NOW THAT RUSSIA COLLUSION IS A PROVEN LIE, WHEN DO THE TRIALS FOR TREASON BEGIN?” the meme features images of special counsel Robert Mueller, Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former President Bill Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, all behind bars.

Notably, Rosenstein continues to serve as Trump’s hand-picked deputy attorney general. Trump appears to be fine with the idea of locking him up anyway.

A number of the officials pictured in the meme were sent bombs in the mail about a month ago by a Trump fan named Cesar Sayoc. Sayoc’s van was emblazoned with a number of right-wing memes not dissimilar to the one Trump retweeted.

I think it is Huma Abedin who was Hillary Clinton's right hand and married to Rep. Weiner.

Still, he is just retweeting stupid crap to appease his fears.

The white supremacy, the misogyny, abuse of children, threats to journalists.

I'll never understand why the media keeps looking for some kind of remorse from Trump.

He's Steven Miller, without the charm.

his Republican red wave win of the midterm elections.

He must think his base gets all their information from him alone, ‘cause even FOX had to admit the Republicans lost Bigly.

This and other atrocities that we hear and see daily from the so-called president. The danger is that being constantly bombarded with his stupidity and ignorant horrors, we become inured to them. We can't let "oh, that's just Trump" go unanswered. It's dangerous, NOT normal, and wrong.
