The idiot is as unstable as they come and I agree w/ Michele Obama, that he's putting people at risk w/ his rhetoric and mutterings. He doesn't think long term what-so-ever, or just does not care about anyone else. Probably nothing new, but just thought good FYI. Take care.

Breaking, via @WSJ: Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have gathered evidence of Donald Trump's participation in payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal "that violated campaign-finance laws"
https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-played-central-role-in-hush-payoffs-to-stormy-daniels-and-karen-mcdougal-1541786601?mod=searchresults&page=1&pos=1

According to The Wall Street Journal, federal prosecutors have evidence that Trump directed his former fixer Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, and others to make payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen MacDougal. Trump previously denied knowledge of the payments.

This very detailed report reinforces that the president of the United States very likely lied to the public about his role in paying hush money to a porn star who alleged an affair with him, in possible violation of federal campaign finance law.

So.

This is both 1) not remotely surprising given Cohen's statement during his plea that Trump directed him to commit two felonies; and 2) a staggeringly big deal ->

WSJ: "Trump was involved in or briefed on nearly every step of the agreements. He directed deals in phone calls and meetings with...Michael Cohen, and others. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has gathered evidence of Mr. Trump’s participation." https://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-played-central-role-in-hush-payoffs-to-stormy-daniels-and-karen-mcdougal-1541786601

Remember, Mueller farmed this case to SDNY.

This refutes two years of denials by Trump, his legal team and his advisers.

We went to the protest and I told her that during the next two months are going to see him at a new low as far as crazy goes. When the indictments come rolling down and his dear son is nailed we will be having a new level of crazy from him. Fasten your seat belts...

The psychiatrists who signed Duty To Warn say he clearly is a danger due to the extreme level and combination of narcissism, sadism and sociopathic tendencies..

8. His serial crazy is going to get masses of people killed. He is a dire threat to civilized society.

Other countrys are watching this lunatic and without doubt wondering if he is a direct threat to them.

Our country has become the frog in a pot of water that is approaching the boil. It is long past time to get out of the pot. i keep wondering when the alleged adults in the room will see that it’s gone to far and is time to act.

The Republican legislative bodies seem frozen in the blinding glare of trumpism. They are afraid to move. They will get run over by the freight train that is the majority plebiscite known as the American people if they don’t act....now!

His delegitimization of our country’s norms is one of the most dangerous things he has accomplished. Just today he has directly indicted the election process in two states, just because he doesn’t like the potential results. He has NO authority to make any declarations concerning states elections, period! Any destabilizing of a country’s elections could be considered an act of war under normal circumstances. Just look at the consequences of the CIA and it’s efforts in South America. Just look at Russia’s efforts here in trump’s election.

If the republicans wait for the New Democratic House to do the work that should have been done by responsible actors in the Republican Party, the thing that will end up suffering the most will be a slaughtered Republican legitimacy.

Trump is taking us to the brink, daily he is lunatiking his way through his presidency ( if it can be called that). His thoughts are for himself, nothing for the nation. He is the ultimate crass seeker of attention. The presidency is nothing more than a bauble for him to stroke his insufficiently endowed desire to be a man. Something he will never accomplish, no matter how many people he try’s to insult.

It’s time he goes!

Mandy Lee has been on several talk shows because she and others published a book
entitled "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump".
I have encouraged my friends and fellow DUers to read this book. It spells out how important
a full examination of Trump's mental capacity is. Our future as a civilization could hang
in the balance. Let's get on it.
