Cute quote from a youtube member I follow

My cannibal friends say that the rarest culinary treats are Republican spines-- none on the market at this time.

tRump, with the help of Barr, prematurely ended the Mueller investigation

tRump did what Nixon only dreamt about doing. tRump is getting away with his crimes and has setup a barrier between himself and justice. I do not see how justice will be done under this scenario.

tRump is unleashing a militarized police force on us and calling it "The Surge"

"They didn't want to make you look so tough," the president told a room full of cops on Monday. "They didn't want to make you look like you're a threat."

President Donald Trump on Monday said the Justice Department is preparing to launch a sweeping crackdown on crime that he named "the surge," a term commonly associated with the George W. Bush administration's decision to send tens of thousands of additional troops into Iraq in 2007.

"In coming weeks, Attorney General Barr will announce a new crackdown on violent crime—which I think is so important—targeting gangs and drug traffickers in high crime cities and dangerous rural areas," Trump said during the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in Chicago. "Let's call it the surge."

The president did not provide any details on the plan but said it is going to be "very dramatic."

"And you're going to see tremendous results very quickly," Trump added.

As if to emphasize his view of America's cities as war zones, Trump went on to tout his administration's success in putting military equipment into the hands of U.S. police officers and claimed "Afghanistan is a safe place" compared to Chicago.

Nixon was caught working with a foreign government to interfere with a US election

Much like the concerns Obama had, LBJ didn't want to make it public, make a big stink about it so close to the election. The meat of it, summing it up starts at 8:55
