The sh*t has definitely hit the fan (52 USC ℥30121), and even the stock market cannot save the Malignant One. Thank you, George Stephanopolis.
Update: It took another shoe, but thank you, Nancy for finally admitting the imposter in the Very White House is lawless, a clear and present danger to the Republic. Or is US Person just mentally ill?
{23.09.19}That's what über cop, Joe Friday (Jack Webb) told witnesses on the iconic TV crime drama of the 50's, Dragnet. With that nod, NYT opinion columnist, David Leonhardt has given us forty (40) facts to hurl at the Malignant One holed up in the Very White House. He may indeed be the most corrupt president in US history. The question is: why did 'Mericans elect a failed inherited real estate mogul and 'reality' TV personality with a documented history of questionable business practices and bankruptcies? Perhaps for the same reasons the Germans elected a ego-maniacal failed artist turned paper hanger and house painter. At least Schicklgruber served with distinction in his nation's army. We got bone spurs! Here are the facts (some of which may be classified simply as distasteful personal failings, not impeachable offenses) so far:
He has pressured a foreign leader to interfere in the 2020 American presidential election after he urged Russia to intervene in the 2016 presidential election.Thank you for reminding us, David, about why we must remove Il Douche from the most powerful office in the land!

He has encouraged his supporters to commit violence against his political opponents.He has called for his opponents and critics to be investigated and jailed.He uses a phrase popular with dictators — “the enemy of the people” — to describe journalists.He attempts to undermine any independent source of information that he does not like, including judges, scientists, journalists, election officials, the F.B.I., the C.I.A., the Congressional Budget Office and the National Weather Service.He has tried to harass the chairman of the Federal Reserve into lowering interest rates.He said that a judge could not be objective because of his Mexican heritage.He obstructed justice by trying to influence an investigation into his presidential campaign.He violated federal law by directing his lawyer to pay $280,000 in hush money to cover up two apparent extramarital affairs.He made his fortune partly through wide-scale financial fraud.He has refused to release his tax returns and claims he is immune to any investigation.He falsely accused his predecessor of wiretapping him.He claimed that federal law-enforcement agents and prosecutors regularly fabricated evidence, thereby damaging the credibility of criminal investigations across the country.He has ordered children to be physically separated from their parents.He has suggested that America is no different from or better than Vladimir Putin’s Russia.He has called America a “hellhole.”He is the president of the United States, and he is a threat to virtually everything that the United States should stand for.
