What I find incredible is that most sensible people could surely see during the election campaign that this guy wasn't fit for this office.Granted, it would have been difficult to imagine just how outrageous and downright dangerous he would turn out to be, but the seeds were there for all to see.How the hell did he fool so many voters into electing him?I've always been slightly troubled by the Presidential election process in the US; there was always the potential for some unsuitable individual to make it into the White House.But Trump is on another level entirely.The most powerful politician in the world.....it is nothing less than terrifying.

https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1020642287725043712Fee fie fo fumI smell the whiff of a twitchy bum. The Leader of the Free World saying it’s inconceivable that the police should raid the premises of someone suspected of being complicit in illegal activity. The Leader of the Free World saying it’s even more inconceivable (although I’m struggle to imagine what could be more inconceivable than inconceivable, but there you go) that someone who is about to be instructed by his boss to commit a major crime should take out the insurance policy of recording the meeting. Net closing on Donald. It’ll be the ultimate irony if he is brought down, not because of treason (which he is undoubtedly guilty of) but because he couldn’t keep his cock in his pants, then broke the law in paying women hush money during the election campaign. EDIT. And more to the point, if he can effectively be hustled by porn models, imagine what a trained KGB officer could do to him. In fact, don’t imagine it. You don’t need to. Just watch Trump’s bizarre behaviour earlier this week, while he was meeting with Putin. I always used to think that democracy was strong and that chancers and frauds and criminals would be exposed and seen through before they got close to power. But we’ve got criminals and chancers and frauds calling the shots on both sides of the pond. Just shows you how fragile democracy really is when people start closing their ears and eyes to inconvenient facts. Worrying times.
I’ve heard some cringingly embarrassing shite pass politcians’ mouths in my time, but that “would” “wouldn’t” stuff from Trump this week takes the biscuit. What an embarrassment to the office of Kennedy and Roosevelt and Lincoln and Washington. Agree with them or not, they were men who steered the USA through the most dangerous of times and they did so with clarity of vision and bravery of decision. This excuse for a man stands in front of his handler this week and cravenly says he doesn’t believe that Russia would launch cyber warfare against the USA. Then when he’s safely 5000 miles away from him, he reverses his assessment. More backbone in a jellyfish. More strength of personality in a bacterium. More bravery in Harry Forrester. The damage he is doing to America is incalculable.
Seth Abramson is on course for becoming a true all-time American hero. Here he is coldly, calmly, clinically and technically setting out why the prosecutors will have Trump’s orange b*llocks on a plate for conspiring with Russia to commit what was effectively treason. https://mobile.twitter.com/SethAbramson/status/1023224427956396034This is how democracy works. People like Abramson are the ones who stop the self-serving criminals from f**king us all over.
The condensed story is:1) June 2016, in the middle of the Presidential campaign Trump Jr was contacted by a go-between who wanted to set up a meeting with Russian operatives who could offer Clinton’s (illegally) hacked e-mails. 2) Jr jumped at the chance and had a meeting with the Russians. In Trump Tower NY...3) Jr later claimed nothing was offered. 4) Trump Snr claimed he knew nothing about this. 5) Abramson is pointing out how implausible this is: Snr is a control freak who was in an office 20 yards from this meeting and who has a track record of listening in to meetings in his own offices. 6) Immediately after the meeting, Jr made it received three phone calls from a number that he claims was blocked7) When asked under oath if his father’s number shows up as “blocked” on his phone, Jr replied “I don’t know”. That’s HIS OWN FATHER’s number...8) A couple of weeks later, Wikileaks released these hacked e-mails. There was nothing in them but the whole furore dominated the rest of the campaign. 9) A few days after that, Trump went on TV saying “Russia - if you are listening, can you release the rest of the Clinton e-mails?”10) Cohen, Trump’s solicitor, is now on recird saying Snr knew all about the meeting. 11) Snr says Cohen is lying. Abramson is setting out in some detail why Cohen has no incentive to lie to the FBI about this. Because he’s facing a very long prison sentence already, and can only extricate himself by being truthful. If he lies to them about this, he’s going down for even longer. It’s there in black and white. Very strong evidence of a conspiracy with a hostile foreign power to tip the 2016 election. That is why Trump is maniacally lashing out on Twitter every week about the inquiry. Because he knows that if he doesn’t kill the inquiry, he’s facing the rest of his days in prison.
