.@PhilipRucker: You appeared to accuse Obama of a crime yesterday. What did he do?

TRUMP: "Obamagate."
RUCKER: What is the crime?
TRUMP: "You know what the crime is. The crime is very obvious to everybody." pic.twitter.com/EUueidNwGp
I suspect that the accusations against Obama are merely a means to deflect attention away from the growing body count, and to excite the racist Republican base, but it does seem like these idiots are going to drag Obama through a bogus legal charade of some sort:
Folks, I'm telling you, there's a decent chance show trial-style charges are brought against Barack Obama before November. Watch this clip. pic.twitter.com/y5Mebqxnv9

For the record, that's Jim Jordan, who helped to cover up serial sexual misconduct while a college wrestling coach.
I can't imagine this fake scandal going well. At the very least, it will drive angry voters to the polls, at the worst, it will lead to mass demonstrations. President Obama had a scandal-free presidency, and this attempt to paint the first African-American president as the most corrupt president in the history of the United States while the country is going down in flames is enough to infuriate over half of the country. It's a desperate gambit by a bunch of trapped rats, and I'm not that confident that the media won't try to play along.

Oh please let them try and arrest the real president. Please.
It would be the worst mistake Trump ever made in a long, worthless life full of them.100% Democrats will come out to vote, and Trump, the GOP senate, GOP state posts, will all wash away in an ocean of blue.
Obama is *beloved*. Lay a hand on him, and be prepared to lose it. (Probably because Michelle will rip your arm off before the Secret Service can!)
Why are we cursed with such inept, incurious, and vainglorious twits at the heads of our governments at this crucial juncture? Morrison isn't as bad as Boris Johnson, who is not as bad (slightly) as Trump and Bolsanaro. But cut from the same cloth, they are.

All of this. No scandals, no one charged with a crime and put on trial and found guilty....it was "No Drama" Obama for eight years. The sad thing is that we got complacent, while the GOP tried to push nonsense like Benghazi, Solyndra, and the tan suit while some on the Left were screaming about how awful the ACA was and how Obama had "betrayed" them and that he was a war criminal...and some still mutter today about how Obama was no better than Trump.
What utter horseshit.
Barack Obama is not just 1000x better than Trump is as President, he's 1000x the man that Trump claims to be. He is smarter, more charismatic, a better husband and father, and also has empathy, which Trump sorely lacks. Only someone who is a few cans short of a six pack can claim that there is no difference between Trump and Obama or could claim that Obama is a criminal.

He's not bright, and he's a cornered rat, so he just might do it.

They are a small, but very vocal, contingent, the sort of people who wear Mao or Che T-shirts unironically.
