A Rogue’s Gallery Of Criminality, Still They Follow Blindly Behind The Naked Emperor

“He hasn’t grown into the job because he can’t.”

Never before has it come to this, that a sit­ting President is deemed to be such a threat to the Republic that his pre­de­ces­sor is forced to issue such dire warn­ings, that keep­ing him in pow­er may mean the end of this American project.
Such is the threat posed by Donald Trump. Maybe there are oth­ers who could explain it bet­ter than Barack Obama, but we haven’t seen any­one step for­ward to do so as yet.

Barack Obama’s state­ments have par­tic­u­lar res­o­nance, he is the pres­i­dent Donald Trump suc­ced­ed. If a div­er comes up from the deep and tells you there are sharks below do you dive in with­out a death wish?
That is the lev­el of cred­i­bil­i­ty that Barack Obama’s state­ments have as it relates to the impend­ing doom of a con­tin­ued Trump presidency.

But did it require the past pres­i­dent to warn us, wake us up to the dark and present dan­ger the Trump’s pres­i­den­cy poses?
On Thursday morn­ing, the day after President Obama’s address, and the resul­tant deranged all- caps twit­ter freak­out we all knew was com­ing, we learned that Steven Bannon his for­mer Breitbart senior advi­sor was arrest­ed on fraud charges by the Feds and was cool­ing his heels in a in a New York Jail cell.
Trump him­self may be look­ing at an indict­ment were he to lose this elec­tion, hav­ing been report­ed­ly named as an unin­dict­ed co-con­spir­a­tor in an indict­ment by the Southern District Of New York.
That wait­ing indict­ment may be rea­son enough for Donald Trump to do every­thing in his pow­er to remain in pow­er. Hoping to run out the statute of lim­i­ta­tions clock on the wait­ing indictment.

But this lat­est arrest should come as no sur­prise to any­one, not even to those who haven’t been pay­ing atten­tion to the events that have unfold­ed since he assumed the pres­i­den­cy. I mean the whole damn thing has been a ver­i­ta­ble rogues gallery of criminality.

Forget for a moment the 13 Russian nation­als and 3 enti­ties that Special Counsel Robert Muller charged that the American Justice may not man­age to ever bring to justice.
The litany of crim­i­nal­i­ty has been astound­ing and arguably be unprece­dent­ed in the his­to­ry of the country.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, guess what, it is a damn duck. A rogue’s gallery of criminals.
So if you are sit­ting there scratch­ing your head as to why any­one could sup­port this admin­is­tra­tion you may be alone?
Never in record­ed his­to­ry has a pres­i­den­cy pro­duced so many crim­i­nals, much less a pres­i­den­cy that isn’t even four years old.
So yes, the cult that fol­lows behind it ‚they are not all fools or reli­gious nuts, (well except for the black ones),this cult of sup­port is based on a sin­gle principle.
He hates who they hate.
