The President Of These United States Is Openly Using The Power Of His Office And The Resources Of The Executive Branch To Conspire With Foreign Governments Against Americans

>





-by Joseph Mamét

So one thing I haven't seen teased out or talked about at all is, if the President has such serious concerns with what the Bidens did in the Ukraine, why didn't he ask his own investigative services like, for example, the FBI, to look into it? Why let a country we know is corrupt lead the way? And why isn't anyone asking that question? I mean, the answer is obvious-- their premise for all this is a bunch of crap-- but that no one is questioning said premise seems like a missed opportunity.

I think what I’m really asking is why aren’t Democrats asking any hard questions at all? Questions that could lead to all kinds of traps. For example: You don't you trust your own FBI, Mr. President? Then do you trust the acting DNI who just testified? Should we? Why would you trust a foreign country-- where corruption is rampant-- to investigate an American citizen? Some people are calling what you are doing a witch hunt, how do you react to that? What other favors have you asked foreign countries to do? When else have linked conversations about aid the American people are sending to foreign countries to having them do favors for you? And my favorite: Fucking hell, Mr. President, what other batshit crazy stuff have you done? Are you investigating me? Are you ok?


Every single Democrat should be planting seeds of doubt like this, making this about everything else, the unknown and unknowable. That's what Trump does, and it's ok to beat him at his own game. Instead, I bet Democrats all just keep their noses down, doing their homework, and that’s fine, and important, but meanwhile the Republicans poke constant holes in the story and their efforts.

And Democrats would be wrong to screw this up because this is incredibly serious stuff. I’ll put it in front of you again: by any reasonable interpretation, the President of these United States has been caught openly using the power of his office and the resources of the executive branch to conspire with foreign governments against Americans. Read that again and tell me I’m wrong, I’ll wait. Yah, didn’t think so.





And, so help me, if you say, “well, the conspiracy wasn’t complete,” or “well, we don’t know if the Ukrainians did anything,” or “well, maybe Biden did it,” any other kind of stupid shit, I will slap you across your stupid face, just like Batman slapping Robin. Why? Because this isn’t about knowing the 100%, perfect, no-doubt truth anymore-- and that’s unknowable anyway, my naïve friend-- so get over it. No, what this is about is a cage-match-death-battle to protect our country, protect the concept of the Presidency, and to protect ourselves. The sooner you realize that, the better the chance we have.


Are Democrats holding back because it might hurt Biden? Bah. That can't be a real concern, can it? I mean, not if he's clean, right? But honestly, and this is important, so focus for a second: it doesn’t fucking matter if it’s true or not. It. Doesn’t.

What matters is we're talking about the greater good, and I don't just mean the "Trump is horrible and should be removed" greater good, I'm talking about the "if he can be duped into something like this by Rudy Anyone-who-listens-to-me-for-more-then-three-seconds-knows-I’ve-lost-my-marbles Giuliani, than he really is a real threat to this country" kind of greater good. After all, what's next, Stephen Miller convinces him that immigrants are all carrying a disease that only affects white people?


No, I think no is asking hard questions because Democrats lack the strength and creativity to attack this with anything close to the enthusiasm that we know their opponents will bring. I'm afraid that Democrats are generally such of bunch of weenies that they won't press down on the gas pedal like they should. "Well, we have to let the process play out and carefully assess all the information and then take our time making a determination." Meanwhile, Trump and his sycophants have not only stolen all the hens from the hen-house, they burned it down and built a for-profit prison in its place.

So grow a spine liberal weenies-- all of you! Yes, this means you, Mr. I-don’t-want-to-offend-anyone-sensitive-guy, and you, too, Ms. Reading-this-in-your-underwear-on-the-couch-with-chips-strewn-across-you-like-a-junkie. Oh, and especially you, Little-Johnny-do-gooder-let-the-process-play-out-super-weeny. All of you are hereby ordered to call your Congresspeople and tell them to grow a spine. Tell them that this is their shot and they better not screw it up. I mean for fuck’s sake, this is truly horrible. Truly fucking horrible. Let me say it again: the President of these United States is openly using the power of his office and the resources of the executive branch to conspire with foreign governments against Americans.


I suppose incitement to civil war-- treason-- was inevitable

Now you say it, and say it out loud with me: the President of these United States is openly using the power of his office and the resources of the executive branch to conspire with foreign governments against Americans.

Now grab your dog and yell it in his face: the President of these United States is openly using the power of his office and the resources of the executive branch to conspire with foreign governments against Americans.

Grab your partner and say it together: the President of these United States is openly using the power of his office and the resources of the executive branch to conspire with foreign governments against Americans.

Say it to your co-worker at the water cooler: the President of these United States is openly using the power of his office and the resources of the executive branch to conspire with foreign governments against Americans.

And then ask, “Jesus, what the fuck else has this idiot done like that?”

This country has been undefended since Kennedy rode into Dealey Plaza.

Its power was neutered when LBJ refused to do anything about Nixon interfering with the Vietnam Peace Talks.

Its integrity was trashed when Ford pardoned Nixon for wiping his corrupt feet on the Constitution.

Its effectiveness stopped the first time Carter did what Bert Lance advised.

Its patriotism was perverted into a laughingstock when some obsolete missiles were enough to bribe Iran into keeping Americans hostage so that Reagan could interfere with the 1980 election, and the subsequent running of drugs to pay for a war the Congress wouldn't fund.

Its honesty died along with at least 4000 Panamanians killed to silence a crony of the former CIA Director who actually ran those "enterprises".

Its freedom died when Clinton "felt our pain" while unleashing predatory capitalism.

Its righteousness was the first casualty of the illegal war of aggression waged against Iraq by a military deserter and a draft dodger.

Its liberty disappeared with The USA Patriot Act.

Its prosperity was cashed in to save large investors at the expense of We the People.

And after over 50 YEARS of these illegal and immoral actions taken against the American People someone FINALLY noticed that Trump has kidnapped the Federal Government to be used only for the benefit of himself?

All Trump really did was drop the pretense that the governance of the United States is better than when China was divided up among the various warlords vying for power. That it is better than the the Tongs ran Hong Kong while the colonial British powers pretended they were still in power. That the United States is now essentially "shared" by a corporate Cosa Nostra whose word is the law, the power emanating from the barrel of "government" guns paid for by those so oppressed.

There is no Rule of Law anymore. There is no cavalry riding over the hill to our rescue.

Anyone who doesn't see this is bogarting that joint, my friend, and refuses to pass it over to me so that I can become as oblivious about the truth as they clearly are.

10:21, you are me... only much better. I am truly humbled. that's some Pulitzer-level shit, my friend.

"Why let a country we know is corrupt lead the way?"

The author doesn't understand. The FBI wouldn't have access to Ukrainian sourcing.

Also, trump was not asking them to "investigate" the bidens under threat of withholding a half bil of aid. He was telling them to "find" shit on biden with a half bil of enticement to do so. Like Cohen said, you have to be able to translate trump's words into their true meaning.

The Democrats aren't afraid or stupid. They are very creative and aggressive when it comes to attacking their own progressives.

This has been going on for decades; "missed" opportunities, "Timidity", a supposed obsession with fair play that doesn't apply to their own left, "incompetence".

They had the most charismatic party leader in decades, and an opposition whose policies all but left the country a smoking ruin. At the end of Obama's eight years they had lost a 1000 offices, and didn't control any branch of the federal government. At the state level it was almost as dire. They were on the way to extinction.

While that was happening, this Democratic party didn't seem all that upset about that.

I remember that when the first thing this Democratic party did after firing Howard Dean was to lose the safest Senate seat in the country, and the reaction was in some Democratic circles "relief" because it turned the Senate.

I am just going to say it; the Democratic party has been taking a dive for going on thirty years. They have been throwing the fight for money.

Nancy Pelosi has been doing her best to protect Donald Trump, just like she protected George W. Bush.

Pelosi was fine with courting foriegn interference up through last weekend.
The reason she is impeaching now is because she has no choice--full stop. She lost control of the caucus.

Pelosi will now work from the inside to sabotage impeachment and continue to protect Trump by limiting the scope as narrowly as possible, by moving as fast as possible.

You don't move fast to "strike while the iron is hot"-- to increase the impact when you know the Senate won't convict. You do it to make sure that three months from now nobody will remember it happened.

And SomeITguy brings it home. wow. out-freaking-standing. waiting for the lame bitcher to try to put a dent in this deluge of truth.

"I am just going to say it; the Democratic party has been taking a dive for going on thirty years. They have been throwing the fight for money.

Been saying these things for years... but it's more like 40 years now (rigging for biden proves the 'taking a dive for the money' thing); and it was cheney and former AG gonzalez. Kucinich never proffered articles on the bushbaby. Does not invalidate the point.

very well done all of you.
