It's Now Illegal To Be A Republican!

It’s just a thing I thought of right now, but apparently it’s a thing, and I really want to get into it.

Check this out.

That’s incredible. I’m not sure what I’m looking at. Did they start with the treehouse, and then the bonsai tree grew around it? Or did they start with the tree first?

It looks like somebody built the house, and then planted the tree inside the house.

Wouldn’t that make it the opposite of a treehouse?

That tree is a housetree.

calirepub · December 16, 2018, 2:50am

I don’t think so. There’s really no way to build a house on top of a tree and expect the tree to grow to fit the house. You have to go the opposite way and build the house around the tree. You can’t tame the tree, but you can help shape it, and work with it, to achieve what you want.

Yeah, I figured my mistake when I looked closer at the elaborate staircases.

I just put my bonsai seeds in a wet paper towel, inside a plastic bag, and into my fridge for a week.

What is a bonsai seed?

Illegal to be a Republican?

Glad I dumped my Republican Registration after the 2016 election.

I didn’t know it had become illegal, I just knew it had become politically intolerable and infinitely embarrassing to be a Republican with the likes of Trump, Ryan, McConnell et al as the leaders of the party.

Seeds for growing bonsai tree-plants.

Sewell · December 17, 2018, 9:03pm

It looks like an oversized poppy seed. I guess if I follow the instructions correctly, it becomes a bonsai tree. They’re pretty small.

The Mueller witch hunt is just that. It was begun on a fraud dossier - made up lies from opposition research from Hillary illegally used to get FISA warrants several times, & Mueller is now putting people in prison basically for being republicans working for Trump.

The actual criminals, & those who did collude with Russia are off scot free BECAUSE they are democrats. You can commit multiple felonies including committing a conspiracy to overthrow the legally elected government of the United States, fraud before a FISA court, treason, & selling influence to foreign countries.

Mueller & his cohorts are part of the Coup, treason & fraud, they are evil, & lowlifes. There needs to be a new special investigator appointed to investigate all of them, including Hillary, Bill, Mueller & his cohorts, much of Obama’s cabinet, Obama, & several former & present DOJ & FBI officials.

This is the biggest corruption scandal ever in the history of the United States & they need to be held accountable.

Wow. So this is what it looks like when all of the unproven President Trump defense talking points are compiled into one single train of thought.

Terrifying. It is really no wonder this man was elected. There is a substantial part of the population that is so predisposed to believing conspiracy theory and have an apparent immunity to facts, evidence, truth, and reality.

Quite literally nothing in this OP is accurate or true. But I suspect the author of the OP genuinely and sincerely believes it all. Despite the facts, evidence, truth, and reality. How do we as a society overcome such a challenge from so many of our fellow citizens? How do we as a society hold people accountable for their detachment from basic reality?

Baloney, almost nothing in your post is true. nothing. The witch hunt was started by use of the Hillary opposition research fake dossier, the basis of the FISA court authorization. It was a lie from the start, & they just keep pushing the lies. It should never have even begun, & it’s a political prosecution.

The parts of the Steele dossier that refer to Carter Page turned out to be true.

So there is that.

I suggest you start preparing yourself for all the criminal indictments and jail time that Trump and/or team/family are going to do. It’s not fake laws they broke.

calirepub · December 18, 2018, 12:11pm

Trump should be above the law, just like Barry was.

I already commented on how I believe that you genuinely believe these things. Even though they are objectively untrue. I understand these falsehoods are regularly used by the defenders of President Donald Trump to try and muddy the waters of the legal and political perils he faces for his many criminal activities involving everything from his now-defunct Trump Foundation, to his campaign, to his administration, to his Trump Organization, etc. Unfortunately the evidence and facts and reality do not support the conclusions made in the OP, or in this response.

TommyLucchese · December 18, 2018, 8:45pm

Yeah, it turns out it’s illegal to lobby for the government of Turkey while national security adviser to the president of the United States and now he’s avoided jail time only by promising to testify against somebody bigger and they said it in open court.

I suggest you gird your loins, champ. Cohen is talking publicly, Manafort lost his cooperation agreement and is looking at dying in jail, Flynn flipped like Sammy Gravano and the Trump Foundation just shut it’s doors in attempt to avoid prosecution and that’s just in the last couple weeks.

mollyBrown · December 18, 2018, 8:45pm

My son had to find samples hyperbolic postings on social media. I almost wanted to show him this op, but alas he has to do his own work.

One small note on the bold, the NY AG is continuing to investigate President Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump for criminal activity regarding the Trump Foundation even though they were forced to close the charity for misappropriating funds and self-dealing. They still all have the potential to face prosecution for their actions with the Trump Foundation.

TommyLucchese · December 18, 2018, 8:56pm

Oh I know. But it was definitely a move to limit their legal exposure.

ComfortablyNumb · December 18, 2018, 8:58pm

I would say that is likely. Whether it will work remains an unanswered question. My guess is no, and they are all still on the hook for serious criminal malfeasance related to the Foundation.
