is this just some rightwinger out of his mind cause his wife left him?

did trump make some shit up about obama to distract from the epstein shit?

i saw a video of trump talking about how they’re all guilty of treason but he didnt say what they did

is the tweet not at all related to that video and its just like i said some fascist making up conspiracies?

    I have a lot of thoughts.

    • Obama deserves it,
    • if this happens of fucking course the first and probably only person it will happen to is the black guy
    • it’s very funny that Trump might break the glass on arresting former presidents to distract from Epstein
    • it might be good in the long run if presidents start facing consequences for their actions
    • it will almost certainly not shake out that way though, either because elections will stop or only right wingers will do it or it will all kind of get swept under the collective rug and forgotten
    • this is probably not going to happen

        Leading a campaign of Hope and Change to sheepdog progressives into his neoliberal agenda where their victories were symbolic and his were political, financial, and military, and then using his hard-fought icon status to attack every progressive who tried to make positive change after him.

        Trump is probably going to argue that Obama’s foreign policy (reducing sanctions on Cuba, trying to realign Russia) weakened America’s position and is therefore treason, see also Benghazi, Chinese loan after 2008, Iran nuclear deal.

        That being said, it’s probably going to be a nothing burger

          Nah, it’s something about rigging the 2016 presidential race (which eagle-eyed readers may know Trump won anyway) by working behind the scenes to push Russiagate. The “evidence” they’ve released so far is comically shaky, with the main bit being that a briefing that may have said Russiagate was false was postponed, Obama ordered an investigation into Russiagate within a day of that cancellation, and that info of this investigation was leaked suspiciously quickly. Imo even the Trump-appointed hogs in the court system wouldn’t back this.

        I read that it’s about internal CIA memos concerning russiagate. The CIA said that russia can’t really affect vote tallying. I believe that because the CIA stated that, Tulsa Gabbard claims that the investigation into Trump and his family by the CIA was election interference by the Obama administration and the CIA head at the time that capitulated to Trump and then was later fired by Trump.
