It is utterly ridiculous to think that Obama has some secret plan in place attempting to get Trump impeached. On the other hand, I hope he succeeds ---

Yes indeed. Then I just need to pad the academic credentials with an online PhD and I, too, can create fake news and look _fabulous_ while doing it! My new career as a spokesperson looms before me! ---

You could also get yourself ordained through the Universal Life Church. I did it years ago, and it absolved me of any sins that anyone might think I’ve committed, and I can absolve others. The great part is that, when I did it years ago, the fine print actually said “you are not required to believe this.” ---

Or does he mean that Russia has no control over information and it all leaks all over the place, in which case he an even bigger idiot than I thought. I seem to keep saying that. There has to be a bottom to that somewhere, right? I suspect that it can only be asymptotically approached, like Absolute Zero. ---

There really is no depth to which he will not stoop. I remember well the cold shiver that went down my spine when he loudly, proudly, publicly entreated Russia to dig up and publish through Wikileaks Hillary’s “thirty thousand emails.” Couldn’t believe he got a pass from any segment of our citizenry then. Can’t believe he continues to get a pass from any segment of our citizenry now. It sickens me how ignorant so many are about the very foundations of our republic. He’s a complete treasonous fuck and the sooner he’s in prison for it, the better. I’d almost be willing to make an exception for one last rendition. Almost. ---

We’ve always trusted that “the System” the checks and balances, the “division of labor or power”, the decency of MOST people, and the Constitution, would protect us. We thought we had a “rule of law” and the common good. That whole “of the people by the people blah blah blah”.
