Read the Mona Charon piece I linked to in other thread, and tell me who is actually doing previous harm to the USA. Hint--he was elected with a minority of the votes.

Hey, still have the link in the buffer, so here you go:

I just read that article for this simple reason: I used to be a big fan of Charon. But that was when I was a Republican. After reading that article, I now see her as just another mouthpiece of the uniparty, AKA, Deep state.

And it hit me with this paragraph:

He has violated campaign finance laws by paying off a porn star, flouted legal subpoenas from Congress and other duly constituted authorities looking into administration actions, abused Article II power by dangling pardons to former associates facing criminal trials, encouraged border officials to keep asylum seekers out in violation of law (again promising a pardon), unlawfully diverted Defense Department funds to begin building a border wall, wrongly fired numerous inspectors general, and encouraged police to rough up arrestees—among uncountable other violations. He has attempted to strong-arm an ally to invent lies about his domestic opposition, and begged for other foreign leaders to help his election prospects. His attorney general is diligently attempting to reward his friends and punish his (perceived) enemies—exactly what happens in corrupt dictatorships.

I'm not even going to argue her points other than to put it this way: Everything she said is true - from an enemies perspective. It would be fun to hear Laura Ingraham or Gutfield attack each point, one by one. I can do it easily but I'm sure they would do a much better job.

But my point is this: As a republican I liked Charon. As a conservative independent, my eyes are opened. She is a member of the Uniparty and Tump is their enemy, even when they may "appear" to be on his side, as Graham has sometimes done. She has been outed by Trump, and that article exposed it to me.
