There seems to have been an intelligence briefing back in march to the affect of Russian troops attempting to place bounties on US troops with Afghans.
Doesn't sound like 'strong on military' to me.

Trump cultists call Thom Hartmann. Yikes. One's a segregationist and the other is just plain looney.

Trump wants to be King George and rule ALL America, but he cannot. He's obviously frustrated and wants the economy to get going, but knows that the virus data is continually going to pop that balloon. Hence, he wants the data swept under the rug.

What worries me is whether he's doing this for his own good (re-election) or because he knows that the collapse of the American (and hence World) economy is imminent.

You know your country is fucked when your president is found out (yet again) to be a traitor and it's not even front page news.

Trump has ramped up his accusations of treason against Obama (for the debunked claim that he was spying on him in the 2016 campaign).

Given the "Rules of Trump" that's a strong indicator that he himself is guilty of treason. I'm having difficulty working out which of the many, many treasonous things he's done he's feeling guilty about.


OK, that's that question answered.

Is there any mechanism in place to remove the president quickly in the event that the is incontrovertibly shown to be a threat to the USA?

I'm guessing it's just down to the Secret Service deciding their loyalty to the Constitution overrides their loyalty to the presidential office.

It's called the 25th Amendment. It assumes a cabinet and Vice President have a fucking spine to enact it.

The weakness in the system of checks and balances has been exposed now since Bush the lesser was in office. Trump is just taking advantage of it.

Dear Deirdre@rt.con, I've tried to launder some misinformation many times now but to no avail; the story keeps falling apart at the seams upon a light inspection. Am I using the right RT.CON or should I try a New & Improved TV Nosti outlet instead?
