The Beginning of the End for Trump

The Donald had a really, really bad day today, and just in time for Halloween too.  Two of his associates, the ever-shady former campaign manager Paul Manafort and former aide Rick Gates, have now been indicted on charges of conspiracy against the United States, money laundering, unregistered foreign agent, and making false statements, and another former aide, George Papadopoulos, has pled guilty earlier this month to lying to FBI agents about contacts with Russian agents.  Specifically, such contacts involved attempting to set up a meeting between said agents and the Trump campaign, as well as attempting to get "dirt" on Hillary.   Thus, in other words, there is really no denying collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin at this point, no matter how much Trump tries to "wag the dog" and sweep it under the rug.  And to top it off, Trump's outrageous ban on transgender people in the military was struck down by the courts.   All before 3pm today.

And Mueller's investigation of the ever-growing Russiagate scandal is just getting started.   No wonder the entire White House recently lawyered up, because it's clear that there really IS a "there", there.  Get your popcorn ready, because this is essentially the beginning of the end for Trump and his basket of deplorables in his administration.

So who will be the next domino to fall?

  1. Transgender people are a mentally disordered group. They should not be allowed to serve in any country's military. Trump was right to ban Transgender people from serving in military. Since Transgender people are a mentally disordered people, they are not good enough group to work in military logistics or in combat. I disagree with Trump on most issues but I won't fault Trump for defending a military ban on Transgender people.

  2. How exactly are transgender people a "mentally disordered" group? That's a pretty broad brush you are painting them with. Note how that sounds dangerously similar to what the so-called "experts" used to say about homosexuality (and bisexuality as well, when it wasn't erased completely by said "experts", of course). And that really wasn't very long ago either.
    Nevermind that some of our finest servicemembers are indeed among the LGBTQIA+ community, which of course includes many trans and non-binary people.

  3. And I'm not. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree about this.
