President Trump said Saturday that he is ordering the Department of Justice to "look into" what he describes as threats by Democrats to impeach senior Republican figures, calling them "extortion at the highest level."

The level of cope from this ridiculous man is unreal. Donald Trump simply hopes that everyone forgets what separation of powers is and what congressional oversight looks like.

... "There have been no impeachable acts committed, or even thought of, by the victims of this illegal process," he said. "This is extortion at the highest level, and they should be held accountable for this."

Mr. Trump accused Democrats of also threatening GOP donors with imprisonment and other punishments "just because they happen to be Republicans, or Republican supporters."

"This is Weaponization and Lawfare at another level," he wrote, adding that it was the Democrats who should be facing "imprisonment" and calling them "EXTORTIONISTS", writing in his trademark capital letters.

The president's post comes just days after Democrats laid out plans to investigate Mr. Trump and others in the administration.

They said the subjects they would focus on would include the Trump family's business dealings, corporate corruption, actions of the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Rep. Robert Garcia of California, who will chair the House Oversight Committee next Congress, singled out Stephen Miller, Corey Lewandowski, Kristi Noem and Trump family members as particular individuals they would target. Miller was named Mr. Trump's chief of staff on Friday. ...

I'm among those who thinks that Trump bobs in and out of psychosis.

The problem being, that there are many still willing to carry out a psychotic order.

If there's one person who knows a thing or two about extortion, it's Donald Trump.

Projection at the highest level. And fear. Yeah, a lot of fear.

Since Todd Blanche is the target, let's see if he will investigate the investigators of himself . . . or dissuade Trump.

Trump is nuts to bring this down on his own head. It's Catch 22 situation for the Trump administration.

Trumpy will burn it all down before he ever consents to recognize the will of the People.

For those playing at home, the next two uncertain years of our battered democracy is unfortunately still fraught with great peril. You can feel it, can't you? That vague, nagging dread of the other foot falling?

Piggy is a malignant narcissist

Piggy cares ONLY about himself

Piggy doesn't actually think you or I exist

Piggy is obsessed with legacy, leaving a unique mark on our nation's history

Piggy thinks about his legacy in terms of stealing land-Greenland

Piggy thinks about his legacy in terms of winning wars-Venezuela, Cuba, Iran

Piggy thinks about his legacy in terms of monuments-arch, ballroom, destroying the aesthetic of DC

Piggy is seriously considering using a nuke. There is not a doubt in my mind that he is weighing that option.

Piggy thinks that will cement his place in history as a leader who had the will to do it. Despite it not achieving anything but destruction

Now I want you to know something.

The military in the chain of command run tests constantly on the launching of nuclear missiles

The people actually turning the keys and pushing the buttons would not even know they were actually launching a nuke.

That leaves the use of a nuke to Piggy and stopping him to Hegseth and a very few high-level generals.

A general staff that has been and is continuing to be purged.

Rest well at night

I'm pretty sure they can't stop him even if they wanted to. Legally, that is. POTUS has the sole authority to launch a nuclear attack.

Correct but those are the ones that would be in a position to know and take action to stop the launch even though it would be against orders

The myth of the honorable soldier would stop him

Maybe. Wonder what he would do then?
