We're in a permanent coup

[GURPS]

Americans might soon wish they just waited to vote their way out of the Trump era

On Thursday, news broke that two businessmen said to have “peddled supposedly explosive information about corruption involving Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden” were arrested at Dulles airport on “campaign finance violations.” The two figures are alleged to be bagmen bearing “dirt” on Democrats, solicited by Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman will be asked to give depositions to impeachment investigators. They’re reportedly going to refuse. Their lawyer John Dowd also says they will “refuse to appear before House Committees investigating President Donald Trump.” Fruman and Parnas meanwhile claim they had real derogatory information about Biden and other politicians, but “the U.S. government had shown little interest in receiving it through official channels.”

For Americans not familiar with the language of the Third World, that’s two contrasting denials of political legitimacy.

Really strange things going on in Washington.
It would seem the only way to drain the swamp is to pull the plug on the FBI and the CIA.

If you want to understand what is going on in the federal government look no further than Montgomery County.
Allegedly one of the wealthiest counties in America, liberal and where do you think they work?
It's been known for a long time that the senior level bureaucrats (career employees) were doing as they damned well pleased.
Where do you think the "leaks" and derogatory information comes from? This is a group who feels they know best and defy the people who were voted into office. It's why we have programs that don't die, just keep growing. These are the elite that make decisions in spite of what the president and the top officials want.

Kinda funny how you morons can't keep your stories straight.

So just to point out the stunningly obvious:

The electoral college voted Trump in...not you morons. Had it been the "will of the people", Hillary Clinton would be president...dumbass.
