Today in treason accusations:

"How dare they investigate crimes!"

-Mike Pence, outraged

Oy, this nonsense again. Huh? Why this nonsense from Mike Pence, who had this to say about the investigation into Donald Trump's many crimes.

"Truth is while we're watching our nation's capital, even today, we see many Democrats who spent the last two and a half years on baseless accusations. And keep trying to overturn the will of the American people in the last presidential election."

-Constitutional spare, Mike Pence

So, couple of things. Not sure anyone in that administration should be calling anyone's accusations as baseless. The first thing Donald Trump did after the election was baselessly claim that he only lost the popular vote because millions of Clinton voters voted illegally. And speaking of, is it really overturning the will of the people when most of us voted for Clinton? Like, at worst they're trying to overturn the will of the electoral college an institution that has twice in my lifetime handed the Presidency to the candidate most of us didn't vote for.

Um, if Hillary Clinton had millions of invisible, illegal voters at
her command, would we be having this conversation right now?

"Like, not even a little exonerated."

-Robert Mueller

But the premise that there's any overturning going on here is itself some amazing bullshit. This whole goat rodeo started when Donald Trump solicited help from a foreign leader in digging up political dirt on his potential rivals which is, you know, a crime and one the Mueller investigation in no way exonerated him of the last time he pulled this. Investigating said crime isn't overturning anyone's will, it's how the law works. Sorry, I should say alleged crime. But I mean he's clearly guilty, right? I mean, c'mon.

So this, but with more flipping us off.

I don't even think his supporters doubt that he's super-guilty of a litany of crimes, they're just comfortable with it. Because...actually, I don't know why. Why do people still defend him and buy into his whole victim narrative? Is it his charm? Seriously though, this is not the behavior of someone who isn't a Woodward and Bernstein away from Nixon walking his way onto Marine One. Like, did you see this shit he spouted off at a bunch of staffers at the UN today?

He's pretty lucky this isn't the old days,
People in the old days didn't look kindly
on leaders who abused their power either.

According to the New York Times, well, really according to the Guardian reporting what the pay-walled New York Times had to say:

"I want to know who's the person who gave the whistle-blower the information because that's close to a spy. You know what we used to do in the old days then we were smart with spies and treason, right? We used to handle it a little differently than we do now."

-President Donald Trump,

threatening people, publicly

Yeah, that's the former host of a dumb reality show threatening anyone who comes forward with concerns about his criminal behavior with death by execution. That's not normal. Well, none of this has been normal, but holy shit Republicans, you need to do something about this. Like, now. I mean, how would they like it if we ran the cast of Queer Eye and they won and-holy shit, we should totally elect the cast of Queer Eye...

It might seem a little weird to have five people be
collectively the President, but we live in weird times.
