There it is, plain as day. He literally just admitted to his crimes.

      It’s interesting a little to me, because growing up everyone has known the system sucks ass. But until Trump I don’t think anyone realized how it sucked ass in a different way. There’s no shadow government. There’s no Big Plan. No one is pulling strings. It’s just assholes being assholes. And whoever has the most assholes in seats is the current winner.

      It’s King of the Hill for people that peaked during highschool.

      All these alt right morons are living in a fantasy.

        I had the sense before the 2016 election that even some on the left kinda had this impression. That somehow Hilary would be automatically elected, or that there was some mechanism to prevent someone like Trump from getting in there or doing much damage.

        It’s been made very clear to me that nothing much is preventing the country from being run straight into the ground provided the person doing so is elected president. There are no guardrails. The country isn’t baby proofed in any way. Whoever you put in there is literally and figuratively working with live ammo, and the American public will not be safe from them.

          Well yeah, the whole set up is based on the premise that the populace wouldn’t elect an idiot.

          Have you considered the possibility that any deep state actors (that may or may not exist) actually crave the type of destabilizing force that Trump represents?

          Counter to the fairlytales, a country divided is a country easily ruled.

          If you can sew enough division, using fear as a weapon is much easier.

          What better pawn to install as President than Donald fucking Trump?

          They knew his debts. They knew the people who had dirt on him. They knew he was incompetent. They knew he was easily controlled. They knew he was for sale.

          This isn’t rocket science and I’m pretty sure history will eventually prove me right. He’s a weak little piece of shit. A dog that does as he’s told by his masters, including the current line to tow in his definitely 100% real legal dramas.

          It’s all theatre. Barely better acted than American wrestling.

          Your former president is simultaneously fighting to stay out of prison whilst doing his best to run for president again? Please.

          Vince McMahon would be proud.
