(17,157 posts)I'm trying to avoid the guessing game. Flynn? Manafort? Kushner? Maybe some small fry, further down the food chain. The answer will be clear in 24 hours or so.
Here's what really worries me; that the good old US, in it's self-confidence, some may call it hubris, has perpetuated a political system in which the end-game was always going to be a man like Trump assuming the highest office.
This idiot is in the White House, with no clear path to his removal. He has assumed the highest office in the land, the world, and no-one can really say with clarity how you can be rid of him.
No point in blaming the Founding Fathers; they were honest men who made provision, as they knew it at the time, for such a person as Trump to never be eligible for the highest office. What changed? What ideals became so hopelessly corrupted?
After the war of Independence, America was founded on new, fresh thought; a new system unlike the old. But there are many devices present in the old, rejected system that would have prevented a Trump from assuming office. I have no answers, only questions. Did the system have inherent flaws? In the eagerness to break from England, was the good discarded along with the bad?
This is of immediate and pressing urgency not only in the USA but the entire globe. An unbalanced fool holds the highest office in the most powerful country on the globe, putting the wellbeing, the lives of every living being on the planet in jeopardy. Once rid of this fool, what is America going to do to prevent it happening again?
