this is what's coming out of the dunce summit at Camp David. I think they will go for the "Just Crazy" defense against the Russia treason. It's a set-up and they are prepared to move on to Pence. JMHO.

I wonder if they'll try to paint Pence as crazy also?

Maybe he is a genius.

No matter what he says or does he will be in office for at least three more years.

That's pretty genius.

He capitalizes on a free social media platform to communicate to millions every day.

That's pretty genius.

He lies whenever he breathes yet has defenders crawling through glass to support him.

That's pretty genius.

NO! That is the Republican party putting greed over country. It could have been any raving lunatic in there and as long as the party was getting what they wanted, they would not care and put him out of office.

He capitalizes on a free social media platform to communicate to millions every day.

That's pretty genius.

No! A lot of people use free social media to communicate to millions everyday. I bet Snookie does and so does the Bieb. That does not make any of them geniuses. If he was a genius, how come so many bankruptcies? And I could go on but you get the picture.



He lies whenever he breathes yet has defenders crawling through glass to support him.

That's pretty genius.

NO! Because his supporters would crawl through glass to support him does not make him a genius. It makes them as bat shit crazy as he is. Calling him a genius, for this, is the same as calling Jim Jones a genius because his supporters would literally drink the Koolaid for him.

When you are a smart person, you do not need crazies to support you. Smart people get the support of others and then try and decide how they can change the world for the better (for a majority, not just billionaires) with all that power. When people are in ivory towers announcing to let the citizens eat cake, we have all seen where that can lead and you think he is a genius? You and I obviously differ on what genius means.
