After the Mueller Report was released, and people got to read for themselves (redacted as it was) the OVERWHELMING evidence of Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice, Donald (as he often does) took to Twitter to express his anger. And the world clutched their collective pearls as the President of the United States used the words “total bullshit” to describe the Report. It should be pointed out here how quickly Trump went from calling it a “total exoneration” to calling it “total bullshit.” Here are the first two of his tweets:

Now, I am not AT ALL bothered by the use of the phrase “total bullshit.” I think that “total bullshit” is a fantastic phrase, and — if I’m being honest — I use it just about every day… Certainly most every time I see things that 45 has written on Twitter. There are some words that just taste better in my mouth as I say them. I can’t tell you how many times, while voice-to-texting in my car, I have had to backspace over any number of colorful phrases, because some idiot did something stupid while he was driving. When I’m driving by myself, the words that come out of me make the phrase “total bullshit” look like something you would put in a children’s book. So, no… I am not bothered by him saying “total bullshit.”

What I AM bothered by is the THIRD tweet in that series:

Read it again… Here is why those words, “Spying or Treason,” are so significant: There are 41 Capital Offenses that can bring a Federal death sentence. Of those 41, there are only TWO crimes for which people can be lawfully put to death which do not involve killing another human being. Can you guess what those two crimes are? That’s right… TREASON and ESPIONAGE.

And if you think his base isn’t picking up on that, you are wrong. James Woods — the vocal Trump supporter, former actor (whose parts were all limited to total sleazeballs), and current example of all that is wrong with the world — just posted a now-deleted tweet about the Mueller Report with the hashtag #HangThemAll… which was trending for a while on Twitter. Here it is:

People who study history know where this kind of thing is headed. It’s headed for GENOCIDE. And I don’t say that lightly. There are Eight Stages of Genocide. Stage 7 is “Extermination.” We are EASILY at Stage 5, and probably closer to Stage 6. And I know people balk when you compare Trump to Hitler. They call “hyperbole” on you… But that’s just because we remember Hitler at the end of his life — at his worst. Nobody is comparing Trump to Hitler in 1944… But comparing him to Hitler in 1932 is totally valid. This is not that much of a stretch for a man who kept a book of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed. He also regularly employs Nazi propaganda strategies…

There is a propaganda tactic know as the “Big Lie.” This is a term coined by Adolf Hitler, and it basically refers to a lie so huge that nobody would believe that someone had the audacity to tell it. You have probably heard the quote — often falsely attributed to Hitler or his minister of propaganda Joseph Goebbels — “If you repeat a lie frequently enough, sooner or later people will believe it.” This is actually a paraphrase from a psychological profile of Hitler. See if this quote from that profile reminds you of anyone…

“His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.“

It seems like “telling the same lie so many times that people believe it’s true” has become Trump’s favorite strategy. Sometime, when you’re feeling more impervious to despair, go on Trump’s Twitter feed and take note of how many times he says the Mueller Report confirms that there was “No Collusion, No Obstruction,” even though it clearly and specifically says that “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment.” In other words, THIS REPORT IS DEFINITELY NOT AN EXONERATION. The Department of Justice believes that you can’t indict a sitting President, so the Mueller Report lays out the case for obstruction charges to be used to remove him from office… so that he can THEN be indicted.

For the life of me, I still can’t figure out how this asshole is president…

HERE are the views of 12 DIFFERENT LEGAL EXPERTS on whether or not the Mueller Report “exonerates” Trump of Obstruction of Justice. It’s not even CLOSE to an exoneration. It is damning evidence of a man who was very willing to subvert and ignore the rule of law. It lays out multiple times that Trump gave orders to subordinates to obstruct justice… They just refused to do what he told them to do, because they knew it was illegal, and it would end up with them going to jail. Literally the only thing keeping it from being full-on, textbook obstruction of justice is the people who refused to follow his illegal orders. And STILL Trump pushes the big lie that the Mueller Report shows there was “NO OBSTRUCTION.” And for some reason, none of his supporters seem willing to read it…

And now that this pile of damning evidence is out for the world to see, this narcissistic man is literally calling for the DEATHS of the people who exposed his crimes. And he’s doing this while continuously using another Leninist, propaganda phrase, “The enemy of the people,” to refer to the press which uncovers his attempts to cover up his crimes. A person who is innocent of the accusations against him does not, when he hears that a Special Counsel had been appointed to investigate his actions and misdeeds, say the words, “This is the end of my presidency. I’m fucked.” And even now, even with PROOF of Trump’s total disregard for ethics and the rule of law (not to mention truth or morality), the Democratic-controlled House is refusing to begin impeachment proceedings…

With each of these men, history has proven who the REAL enemy of the people has been… And it will do the same with Trump.

Meanwhile, the president of the United States of America is putting out test balloons on Twitter to see if people will stomach him talking about having his political enemies put to death. He is calling the Free Press “The enemy of the people.” He encourages violence, and he traffics disinformation and outright lies. He and his corrupt administration are inching this nation toward authoritarianism, fascism, and genocide. And he is daily attacking everything that makes this country worth a damn… All while claiming to be “making America great again.”

He is so utterly awful that his actions are even beneath people like Joe Walsh. Think about the following tweet…

Trump has made hundreds of tweets detailing his anger at the people working to bring his actions into the light — Both the Press and the Office of the Special Counsel — but he has nothing but praise for Putin and for Russia. And now he is suggesting that the people involved in the investigation be tried for espionage and treason… The only two federal crimes you can be killed for which don’t involve a punishment for murder. Trump is not like Richard Nixon… He’s much, much worse. If people really want to Make America Great Again, they need to remove the traitorous, corrupt, lying moron who is currently in power.

Thank you for reading! I have already written another post I will probably be publishing tomorrow. Please don’t give up. I know his awfulness is relentless, but the ice is cracking beneath him. He can’t survive forever by just telling Big Lies to the people who watch Fox”News.” Look for places of encouragement. Look for the goodness in the world… It’s all around us.
