Neither a Raid, Nor an Attack on America

This is what happens when you elect a narcissistic sociopath to the Presidency. I wonder if our Very Stable Genius President understands how crazy he is. He appears unable to see things from any perspective but that of a 4 year old in a temper tantrum.

"BREAK IN"

First, it was not a "break in".  VSG President Trump said (on TV)...“So, I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, a good man, and it’s a disgraceful situation,” he said. “It’s a total witch hunt. I’ve been saying it for a long time. I’ve wanted to keep it down.”

The "break in" was a properly executed Search Warrant, requested by the Federal Attorney's office in New York (a Trump appointee), approved by the DOJ (by a Trump appointee) and vetted by a Federal Judge.

"ATTACK ON OUR COUNTRY"

Second, it was not an attack on our country. It was a search for criminal activity of a citizen. It was, in fact, the opposite of an attack on our country. It was validation that everyone in our country is held to the same legal standards regardless of power, money or stable genius-ness.

"WITCH HUNT"

The term comes from the Salem Witch Trials - or, more accurately, the fictionalization of that period in The Crucible by Arthur Miller. A Witch Hunt refers to the persecution of a group of people driven by irrational fears and a mob mentality, those people being collectively not guilty of the said persecution. Traditional examples are the Salem With Trials and the Joe McCarthy Communist Hearings of the House UnAmerican Committee.

The term does not apply to the current investigations, since there have already been at least 11 cases of people already pleading guilty to crimes.

"BY DEMOCRATS"

Bob Muller, Rod Rosenstein and Geoffery Berman (NY Prosecutor) are all Republicans, and two are Trump appointees.

"NOVICE POLITICIAN"

We have been told by our Congressional Representatives to cut President Trump some slack, as he is a novice politician.  True, our VSG President is a novice politician, but he is a savvy businessman who has filed for bankruptcy multiple times and has made extensive use of the court system in the past. He knows this is not an illegal break-in or an attack on our country. To sit and pout about this is one thing. To sit and pout at a meeting to decide how to react to wholesale chemical attack on women and children, with the military and press standing by watching is - well, I guess right now, it is "Presidential".

If this image doesn't scare you, you aren't paying attention.

Somebody get him a diet coke and a cheeseburger, stat!
