Seven Ways Obama Is Trying to Sabotage the Trump Administration

Sperry: Obama Organizing Violent Anti-Trump Protesters Just Miles from White House

So let me see if I'm getting this right. Obama, who's been vacationing since the day he stepped down from office, and is having some pretty good time away from everything (and well earned, might I add), is somehow secretly plotting to overthrow America's lawfully elected president. Right?

Come on, guys. Look, I would've said you know better than that - but I'm not sure at this point. Let's face it. Trump is moving towards making himself impeachable on his own. He doesn't need someone to perform some subversive plot to undermine him - he's already doing a pretty nice job in that himself.

Don't you see where this is leading? If Trump is impeached, Pence becomes president. Then Congress has a free for all.

Speaking of Soros-type of conspiracy plotters, in fact I can see Bannon's long hand behind this piece of paranoid pseudo-news. Colbert had a nice piece on the subject the other day, I think it's quite apt:

Pretty much tells the whole story, methinks.

You know the drill. Find secret external and internal enemies to consolidate your power and distract the public attention from your own shortcomings and from the real problems that you don't have solutions for.

Video not legit. Bannon looks too human there. A nice documentary, nevertheless. :)

It's not just the Alt-right freaking out, for the record.

Obama is set to replace Soros as the right's latest Emmanuel Goldstein... er, sorry, he's always been the right's Emmanuel Goldstein.
