So, here's where we find ourselves: which is worse?

Or

A president selling America's classified information?

On Huffpost AND Crooks and Liars, on SOME stories, those most detrimental to Trump, the COMMENTS sections have disappeared. I don't know why, but they're gone. C&L uses Disqus and Huffpost uses their proprietary system.

But I never in my lifetime thought I'd see a president suspected of espionage and I never in my lifetime thought I'd see a president stage a coup.

The rest of it is the sort of incompetence and/or criminality that isn't all that difficult to imagine. Unprecedented, but with the right piece of shit in office, things like ignoring a pandemic can happen.

But a coup? Espionage?

Whoa. Never thought I'd see it.
