Treasonist

OK, time to call a spade a spade!  Donald Trump is a traitor.  Either that or he is a coward.  Or he is just an incompetent fool.  At the very least he is derelict in his duty to protect the country and the Constitution which he took an oath to defend.

It is self evident that he has not given any direction to our national security apparatus to erect defenses against further Russian intrusion and attack on our democracy.  When presented with irrefutable evidence that Russia meddled with our electoral machine, continues to play havoc with our social media platforms and is clearly planning to sabotage our elections in the fall, Trump is silent.  He answers no questions.  He, among all our Intelligence officers, refuses to accept the facts and refuses to take any action.  My friends, that is treason.

Or he doesn’t want to piss off the Russians because they have something on him that will ruin him.

What is so galling about all of this is that there doesn’t appear to be any way to stop him or force him to take action.  The entire (what once was) the Republican party is now complicit in the treason.  No one wants to step up and end this spectacle.  Our democracy is at risk, folks, and no one seems to have the ability to act to halt the disintegration of our system.

Our Congressional oversight committees are useless.  They call witnesses from the administration and the witnesses simply refuse to answer questions.  Where are the contempt citations?  Why aren’t these people headed for jail?  What happened to the rule of law?  I can’t imagine a clearer case of obstruction of justice.

It was crazy to see Mike Rogers, the head of the NSA, twisting in his seat yesterday at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing as Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) screeched incredulously, asking why we weren’t doing anything to end the current attack and prevent ongoing attack from the Russians.  And from Rogers mouth we heard, “I have not been instructed or mandated from the Commander in Chief to do anything.”  What??????

Is there nothing we can do? Maybe Tom Steyer has the right idea.  We need to impeach this traitor and remove all his incompetent, nepotistic administration if we hope to save our country.

It is inconceivable that there is no immediate mechanism we can invoke to end this madness and become the United States of America again.  And being saved by the Special Counsel is still an interminable time period away.   I know Robert Mueller is being methodical and careful in putting together his ‘case’, but unless he acts with all due dispatch, there won’t be anything to save.

And further today, we learned that there had been real intrusion into 7 state’s election/balloting systems prior to the 2016 general election.  Believe this:  if nothing is done to erect defenses and prepare for all out cyber-war with our adversaries, you can bet that all the Trumpites will be the first to scream ‘foul’ when the election results start coming in in November and they find out they are losing control of the Congress.  They will claim the election was rigged and we can’t trust the results. Who will dispute them?  If you think we are roiling now, wait until after our midterms!  We are heading for disaster with a madman/traitor at the wheel and no one appears able to throttle him.  God Help Us!
