Trump threatens to use the DOJ to go after his political enemies...

And if they try to over-throw an election to stay in power, and steal our national secrets, and cozies up to dictators, and incites violence against our country, then I would agree with him. Use your DOJ and go after the criminals.

Obviously, he thinks that is what they are doing to him. But if he followed our Constitution and laws, he would not have been pursued. Do as I say, not as I do?

He sees them as "political enemies". We see them as guardians of our democracy.

Who's going to pay for all of this? Surely not the very rich?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Obviously the more intelligent and industrious people despise the orange Idiot Amin wannabe POS.

When the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, the people of Cambodia faced total annihilation at the hands of the Khmer Rouge led by Pol Pot. The educated classes of peoples were thrown into camps with such harsh conditions, to be worked to death or murdered.

This is a reminder of what a MONSTER looks like.

Pol Pot was a horrible human being.

I just picked idi Amin because the name Idiot Amin sounds like a good description of the orange POS to me, and he's far like him.
