Trump returns to a familiar obsession: Russia
CNN ^ | May 10, 2020 | Chris Cillizza

Posted on 05/10/2020 4:43:26 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Faced with the grim reality that coronavirus isn't going anywhere anytime soon and polling that suggests he is a clear underdog to Joe Biden in the fall campaign, President Donald Trump is returning his attention to an old favorite: The idea that the so-called "deep state" -- including outgoing President Barack Obama! -- sought to sabotage his presidency before it ever began with allegations of Russian collusion.

"They tried to take down the President of the United States, a sitting, duly elected president of the United States before I even won," Trump told "Fox & Friends" during a nearly-hour-long phone interview Friday morning. (He never made clear who "they" actually were.)

Then, between late Saturday night and Sunday morning, Trump tweeted or retweeted more than 50 times in relation to Russia -- both the Justice Department's decision to drop charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn and the release of interview transcripts from the House Intelligence Committee's Russia investigation -- according to Axios.

Russia is CNN’s obsession, not Trump’s.

So it's no longer a conspericy? I guess that is progress.

RUSSIA is Trump’s obsession. These people are nuts.

He is rightly obsessed with the failed putsch, the perpetrators who belong in prison, and saving the Republic and the rule of law.

Why post this trash for admitted liars CNN. We already know what these bad guys are doing. No need to rub our nose in it.

Let’s focus on what the good guys are doing about the bad guys and our future.

This is how it usually goes with the Treasonists though doesn’t it? They accuse and accuse and when they get caught with their pants down being the lying bastards they are, they blame the same person they were accusing as if Trump made them lie. They act just like little kids.

Simply because a governor says you can go out to get your nails done -- or get a tattoo -- doesn't mean that most people will do so. Opening the economy is all well and good, but it's not the same thing as people genuinely believing things are returning to normal and that they can safely resume normal activities.

Utter BS.

I made two trips out today, one to each major Walmart based shopping cluster, everything is packed and lines everywhere.

The only thing folks around here might be worried about is how long will the lines last outside of everything.

We are close to mid May and the nice 70s and 80s weather is going to vanish - soon.

If I were him, on my last day in office I’d invite some Russian hookers to stay in the Lincoln bedroom, and post pics of them watching CNN.

And the President made clear -- on a number of occasions -- how he believed the Justice Department should exonerate Flynn. It's not exactly a surprise then that it happened. Nor is it an obvious example of justice being, you know, done.

.

Given that 100% bulletproof evidence in the form of the progs own communications that the members of the deep state coup are not busy at new jobs decorating lamposts is a more glaring example of justice being, you know, NOT done.
