Donald Trump Is Attempting a Coup We Must Have a Special Prosecutor

[Arkansas Granny]

So Donald Trump fired James Comey because the FBI director mistreated Hillary Clinton last summer over her use of private emails.

Stop laughing.

Trump takes us for chumps. The Republic is nothing to him but a crap game. And he loads the dice.

In this case, he signs the letter dismissing Comey and hands it to his personal bodyguard to take over to the FBI office. But Comey isn’t there. He’s in Los Angeles, where he will hear on television that he has been dumped — and at first think it’s a practical joke. We are not making this up.

Excellent article by Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.

1. If he picks John Cornyn to head the FBI, the coup will be complete

2. Which will force 70 million patriots to decide whether or not to

we go along or put on our big boy patriot pants, hit the streets and I mean ALL of us.

3. Right behind you with pitchfork and torch in hands!

4. How in the ever-loving fucking HELL is Cornyn QUALIFIED to run the damn FBI?

He's a freakin' Congress-Critter, not an LEO (isn't he?) ... and a highly-partisan one at that.

A move like that ... it really would have to be the last straw, wouldn't it?

I mean, of course McTurtle will go along with it, but not 1 Dem will, and I have to think we can peel off 3 R's in the Senate and refuse to confirm.

Or is there no confirmation process for FBI Director?

5. I believe there is a confirmation process.

I don't believe there's even 1 decent repug who would vote against him.

10. "Decent Republican" oxymoron

n/t

[lark]

13. Exactly and sadly true.

Even Collins and McClain are just paper tigers and will almost always go with the party at the end.

7. None of his cabinet heads are qualified. THAT is the point !!

He wants lackeys who will destroy the government...or..rather Dugin and Putin and Bannon want it....

Shrump is just pissed off at Obama for dissing him at that dinner.....

[sharedvalues]

9. The confirmation process will buy us a few weeks

For indictments to come down.

[pangaia]

6. The coup started way, way back last year....

WAY back!!!

11. It is sickening to me to realize the people who are allowing this to happen are

also among the first to wrap themselves in the flag. The ones who claim loudly to be defending our core principles and values. They are either active participants in the coup or standing idly by while others do the dirty work. Yes, Republicans in Congress, I am looking at you.

We are being sold out and our country's governing body is being undermined. Yes, there are outside people but the rot is from within. How much more do we have to see and hear that they have done before we rise up and throw them out? I can't believe that the people duped by tRump can listen to him deceive them with lies and distortions and not get even a little suspicious. Surely not all of them are that dumb?

What else does tRump have to do (or his minions) before there is a massive resistance to the overthrow of our government? The stunt with the Russians in the Oval Office was no trick. No accident. It was an in your face insult to all of us saying, "We've won. You lost!" Oh, yeah. Says who?? You and which army??

Time to unite and rise up!

12. K&R to THAT!
