So you nominate a life long criminal, who has been charged with money laundering, and accused, with good reason, of multiple sexual assaults, defrauding subcontractors, buddying up to mobsters, lying/cheating/stealing, to name just a few of his accomplishments.
And somehow, with a lot of help from RussiaRussiaRussia, Facebook, a nonfeasant media, the head of the FBI, and a few million gullible and/or brain dead American voters, this asshole gets elected President of the United States.
Did they think he would suddenly stop all of his crime-ing?
Are they fucking stupid?
Well, yes.
But they also knew this was their best, and perhaps last, chance to pack the courts with Christo-fascists.
AND to give a huge tax cut to all of their billionaire/millionaire supporters.
What's a little grifting compared to all of that?
But when you have someone without any morals at all in a position of almost unlimited power, and you let him go unchecked because you're busy screwing the country in your own way, really bad things can happen.
Donald J. Trump only cares about himself and money. He will do ANYTHING for money, and to gratify his ego.
Selling our secrets to the highest bidder? Why not? If the price is right, anything goes.
It's a safe bet that intelligence assets have died because of him.
It's also a safe bet that some of our nuclear secrets may now be in Moscow, Beijing, Riyadh*, wherever the money was right.
I've said it before, and I will say it again:
At this point, anyone who still supports Trump is a goddamn TRAITOR.
*There's a reason the Saudis gave Jared Kushner 2 billion dollars to "invest" and it isn't because he's good with money. He gave them something in return. Something he shouldn't have had any access to at all, since he couldn't get a security clearance without his father-in-law's interference. Hopefully, the DOJ will get to the bottom of his crimes, and Jared can spend the rest of his life in prison.
