Aborting A Presidency

THE UNITED STATES HAS SIXTEEN or seventeen spy agencies. Its easy to lose count. You can be sure that every single one of them is absolutely necessary to protect our nation. Or, they are absolutely necessary to simultaneously monitor our global empire against clandestine threats to American corporate imperialism and to safeguard the national security state, take your pick. Indeed they dropped the ball on weapons of mass destruction, as Trump points out, but this time, there is no mistake. They all say the same thing; the Russians hacked into computers during the election to try to help Donald Trump win. All of them, including the CIA, say that straight out, and many members of the Senate, including republicans, are calling for an investigation, and saying that all Americans should be alarmed. I can show you one who sure as hell is. President Obama has already ordered an investigation, and wants it completed before he leaves office. President elect Trump denies the Russians did anything wrong, and claims that there is no proof of any hacking or election tampering by the Russians, as if he would have any way of knowing. Furthermore, the president elect is now accusing the democrats of inventing the whole story to cast doubt on the results of the election, in a display of bad sportsmanship. Believe it or not, that's what Trump is saying. Don't you find that alarming, that he would say something so dishonest, outrageous, stupid, and harmful to national security? Donald Trump is going to be one reckless, frightening president, if he actually gets sworn in. During the campaign, Trump constantly alleged that the election was fixed, and he encouraged the Russians to hack into Hillary Clinton's computer to find emails she had deleted. Trump also repeatedly expressed his admiration for Vladimir Putin, who has the power to and apparently used his power to do exactly what Trump wanted. Therefore, it may well be that the election was stolen for Trump, and that Trump and the Russians worked together to steal it. We may be about to find out. If Trump is proven to have collaborated with the Russians in stealing the election, he may be impeached, indicted, tried, convicted, and executed before he is inaugurated.
