So, I take it by your response that it is only treason in your eyes when a guy you agree with is being investigated.

When it's anyone else it's justice.

Hillary did serious crime and Trump is innocent! If the Dems want to blame him for something there is actual material from decades ago! Too bad you aren't supposed to prosecute that- even though they did with kavanaugh!

In the post I attempted to poke fun at - with unsurprisingly little success - you list four predicates about Chinese finances (if they can all be so broadly categorised):
  • The Democratic Party is being paid off by Beijing.
  • These "donations" from PR China are intended to disrupt and weaken the USA and its administration.
  • Beijing is also paying off Mexican cartels.
  • These cartels are attempting to place the USA into a state of heightened crime rate and bankruptcy.
Please provide PROOF AND SOURCES for each of these four assertations. If you cannot do so, then I will not continue this little discussion.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

The Trump administration, ladies and gentlemen.

Lynne Patton, a regional administrator for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, wrote last week that she may have broken a federal law meant to prevent officials from politicizing their government positions, but said that even if that were the case, she “honestly” didn’t care.

“Just retweeted this amazing tweet from both of my Twitter accounts — professional and personal,” Patton wrote on Facebook last week, pointing to a message that championed her boss, HUD Secretary Ben Carson, but was critical of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). “It may be a Hatch Act violation. It may not be.”

“Either way,” she continued, “I honestly don’t care anymore.”

The 1939 Hatch Act prohibits officials working in the executive branch from using their “official authority for political purposes” and is meant to prevent “federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity,” according to the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Many members within the Trump administration have run afoul of the law before, and last November, six White House officials were reprimanded for using their social media accounts in violation of the Hatch Act.

Patton, who is paid an annual salary of $161,900, according to 2017 figures, is tasked with overseeing one of HUD’s largest regions with a budget in the billions of dollars. But when someone pointed out her potential lawbreaking, Patton doubled down on Sunday evening, mocking those critical of her as “lazy internet parrots” and “liberal snowflakes” on her personal Twitter account.

CREW has singled out Patton for violating the Hatch Act before, including an instance in April when the official displayed Trump campaign material in her government office. The group notes that Patton is currently under investigation by the Office of Special Counsel for using her official Twitter account for partisan activity.


This is the rot you encourage, each and every day Trump remains in power. Impeach Trump, remove Pence, get rid of Ivanka and Jared, take out anyone and everyone in any position of government power who seems to favor the motherfucker, his family, or his underlings.

Exterminate Trumpism root and branch.
