The anti-Trump resistance takes shape: 'Government's supposed to fear us'

[TerrylSky]

Well for those who are so sorry they were naive enough and duped into voting for Trump, well the die is cast.  Now that people are waking up to reality let's roll them again with open eyes; He should be impeached, but alas, eyes are still closes and people paid off. They have a special on eye glasses at Tesco Lotus; aisle 16, half way down, lower shelf.

As usual, the Trumpeteers don't face facts, prefer to accept endless lies, rather than admit they've been Royally conned.

 

"I don't ever think that I'd see anything. I just wanna stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who's gonna leave?"

 

About begrudging a blatant LIAR?

 

"he's probably strategising as he plays."

 

Oh yeah, he's strategizing all right. On how to cheat.

Trump on pace to surpass 8 years of Obama's travel spending in 1 year

 

"Washington (CNN) Donald Trump's travel to his private club in Florida has cost over an estimated $20 million in his first 80 days as president, putting the president on pace in his first year of office to surpass former President Barack Obama's spending on travel for his entire eight years."

 

"The outsized spending on travel stands in stark relief to Trump's calls for belt tightening across the federal government and the fact that he regularly criticized Obama for costing the American taxpayer money every time he took a trip."

 

"To date, Trump has spent six weekends -- and a total of 21 days -- at Mar-A-Lago, his private Palm Beach club. The total estimated costs for those trips are around $21.6 million."

Credible prediction that trump will be IMPEACHED:

Quote

Allan Lichtman, a professor at American University, reached meme-status last fall for predicting long before anyone else that Trump would win, using a formula based on the popularity of the party in control of the White House that accurately predicted the eight previous presidential elections. Now Lichtman wants everyone to pay attention to the rest of what came through his crystal ball — that Trump will now be impeached.

'Concrete evidence of collusion between Trump team and Russia' handed to official investigation

The official investigation into relations between Donald Trump and Russia now has "specific, concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion", it has been reported.

New evidence proves discussions took place “between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material,” a source allegedly told the Guardian.

The developments come as it has emerged that Britain’s spy agencies were among the first to alert their American counterparts to contact between members of Mr Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives.

I didn't vote for him, and I am not part of the resistance.  Three months in, forty five months to go.  Seems a little early to throw in the towel.

[Jingthing]

The resistance is about trump but it's also about a lot of his supporters. For the resistance to succeed, many of those supporters need to weaken their support. So what motivated them to elect the autocratic demagogic clown?

Uh oh.

It's pretty deplorable really.

Largely -- RACISM.

OK, not at all surprising, but depressing nonetheless.

In Break With Trump, National Security Adviser Pans the Use of ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’

 

"President Trump’s new national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, has reportedly spoken out against the use of the term “radical Islamic terrorism” — a notable break with the president and many others on the right when it comes to talking about the war on terror."

 

"To that end, Trump has repeatedly emphasized the phrase and regularly ridiculed anyone who tries to label terrorism differently, while others in Trump’s inner circle like chief strategist Steven Bannon have embraced the idea that the struggle against terrorism is in fact the beginning of a full-on religious war."

 

"According to the New York Times, The Guardian, and CNN, McMaster told members of the National Security Council during his first all-staff meeting on Thursday that he felt that “radical Islamic terrorism” was an unhelpful way to describe terrorism, particularly since becoming a terrorist is actually “un-Islamic” in the first place.”

Potential legal paths for the predicted (by the famous American U. professor) impeachment of donald j. trump --

 

 

Quote

 

The Options for Impeaching Trump

A legal expert lays out three very strong cases

...
We’re talking about concrete enrichment of the president while in office, which has not been the case for other people and is unlikely to be the case for other presidents in the future. We’re talking about abuses of power with respect to allegations of crimes that have never been undertaken, to my knowledge, by any president in this way. And if something to do with the Russian allegations is shown, we’re also talking about a form of corruption of the democratic process that, with the exception of Nixon, has not been shown of a sitting president. You have to focus on these cases because if you don’t use the impeachment process now, there is a question of what’s the point of having it at all.

Surprise? No surprise. trump supporting far right extremist (fascist) Marine La Pen in the French elections. Both horrifying and predictable. 

 

I miss having American presidents that clearly puts great distance between herself and white supremacist nativist European fascist movements. Oh well, need to wait for trump to be removed first.

 

Quote

 

Trump is now supporting far-right French candidate Marine Le Pen, for all intents and purposes

 

When you combine all of this with the fact that Le Pen's policies are so close to his own on issues of immigration and national sovereignty, it's clear what's going on here. And if Trump isn't actually supporting Le Pen, the White House should probably take this opportunity to dispute that characterization. Because Trump is really making it sound that way.

Dozens of psychiatry experts claim Trump has 'dangerous mental illness' at controversial conference

 

"Amid backlash, a group of psychiatrists claimed on Thursday at a conference at Yale University that President Donald Trump has a "dangerous mental illness" and is not fit to be president of the United States."

 

"Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist and advisor to psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, said during the conference that the president is "paranoid and delusional."

 

"Worse than just being a liar or a narcissist, in addition, he is paranoid, delusional and grandiose thinking and he proved that to the country the first day he was President."

Never claimed to be.

 

But dozens of Psychiatrists did. (As stated in the title of the article)

 

"During the conference, Psychiatrist and New York University professor James Gilligan said based on his experience working with "murderers and rapists" he can "recognize dangerousness from a mile away."

 

"You don't have to be an expert on dangerousness or spend fifty years studying it like I have in order to know how dangerous this man is," said Gillian.

 

But, don't let the truth get in your way...

Much of the work that goes into deciding whether something qualifies as a psychiatric disorder is done by psychologists, not psychiatrists.   The DSM, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders, relies on a lot of research as to how prevalent symptoms are in the general population.  

 

Psychologists are permitted to make a diagnosis of a mental disorder.   They are not, however, able to prescribe medication.
