It's to push Bannons' agenda of bringing down the government.

It was just revealed that Michael Flynn was working as a foreign agent during the campaign, and while in Trumps cabinet as national security advisor. A guy who led the chant against Hilary, to lock her up.
Remember Trump saying Flynn was set up?

Quote:Let's jump back into the territory of Trump being mentally ill. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was only a little devious about his goals for healthcare; he is not mentally ill. On the other hand, Trump is betraying every promise he ever made on that subject by endorsing Ryan's plan.

Trump’s embrace of the American Health Care Act, authored by Paul Ryan and other House Republicans seemingly in collaboration with establishment-minded members of his administration, represents a massive betrayal of his own clear and repeated promises to the American people. It would be a mistake to simply gloss over this breach of faith.
Trump’s false embrace of more centrist positions on health care and retirement security was a crucial aspect of his campaign, and there was enough campaign-season tension between Trump and the GOP leadership that a voter could be forgiven for assuming Trump meant what he was saying. He did not because he is nuts.
Trump ran and won promising to cover everyone, avoid Medicaid cuts, and boost funding for opioid abuse treatment. He is now lobbying Congress to pass a bill that does none of those things. Instead, millions will lose insurance and Medicaid spending will be sacrificed on the altar of tax cuts for the rich.
It’s not a surprising result, but in many ways it is a shocking one.

"Constantly lies and deceives others" is one trait found in sociopaths. I'm just suggesting what is wrong with Trump. I can't prove it without medically attaching electrodes to his scalp and zapping the hell out of his brain.

2nd, 6,
Also IIRC Bush admin was able to keep a lid on the torture scandal long enough. People reading the muslim news knew that something was amiss, but most americans were gulping down that MSM.
Obama, also, a semi-friendly media helps. When he was re-elected, the only continents we weren't at war in were Australia and Antarctica.
I figure there's going to be a lot of money thrown at and against Trump from all sides. More wherever the oil is.

When Trump was elected, I was, "This is so strange; it can't be happening."
I was simply embarrassed by him. We, the people, had to be crazy to elect him.
A neighbor justified it to me, "Trump's a billionaire. He knows how to balance the budget."
But ... we have an impeachment thread on this board. Maybe the answer is there.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.

Comey Elected Trump

Engagement Labs is a company that tracks "what people are talking about." Brad Fay, one of their executives, tells us that during the presidential campaign people were talking very negatively about everyone. They were more negative about Donald Trump, but they were plenty negative about Hillary Clinton too. However, the gap between the candidates changed from time to time based on external events:
"Most decisively, there was a sudden change in the net sentiment results that followed immediately after FBI Director James Comey released his Oct. 28 letter to Congress about a renewed investigation of Clinton emails. Immediately afterwards, there was a 17-point drop in net sentiment for Clinton, and an 11-point rise for Trump, enough for the two candidates to switch places in the rankings, with Clinton in more negative territory than Trump. At a time when opinion polling showed perhaps a 2-point decline in the margin for Clinton, this conversation data suggests a 28-point change in the word of mouth “standings.” The change in word of mouth favorability metric was stunning, and much greater than the traditional opinion polling revealed."
Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words:
In late October, Clinton leads Trump by 24 points in the Engagement Labs survey. Two days after the Comey letter is released, Trump is ahead by four points. Trump kept that lead until Election Day.
Once again: Hillary Clinton did nothing particularly wrong in her campaign. She didn't ignore working-class whites. She wasn't too cautious on policy. She didn't overestimate the impact of educated voters. She wasn't complacent. What happened was simple: 12 days before the election, the FBI director released a letter saying he had found a brand-new trove of emails and implying that this might finally be the smoking gun about her private email server. That's it.
We'll never know for sure if James Comey did this because he's terminally stupid and didn't realize what impact it would have, or if he did it knowing full well what impact it would have. But he did it. And that's why Donald Trump is president.

Srsly? I thought it was a disaster. She could have reached out to Sanders, and his supporters, or taken an actual stand on any issue, defended her record instead of endlessly saying on camera that she didn't say the things that she had earlier also said on camera. That struck me as a pre-information age level of stupid. She didn't really campaign in blue states. I think she thought Smartmatic was going to hand it to her.
Hillary was senator-not-from-here in New York. She had a residence she had never been to. The only night in her life she spent in New York was when she was stuck on a layover. The democratic party machine delivered her unto us, so it was personally embarrassing to see her name and New York written there, as she talked about all of the dumb neocon warmongering she wanted to do as Senator. I thought she was a disaster as Senator and as Secretary of State.
If dems don't like Sanders, fine, give us Elizabeth Warren. But don't pretend HRC isn't what she is. because people aren't fooled. That's why she lost. Because she's basically George W. Bush.

Hillary may be awful ...
But Trump is much worse.
He was well-known from TV; means Americans are really this stupid!

For many Trump voters it was simply a matter of economics, and for others, pay back. He did win though because Hilary was awful and the democrats stopped speaking to the white working class many years ago.
