A blatantly stolen election? Two of them?

Advance warning of a massive terrorist strike with no response by our government before that strike occurred?

A conspiracy to defraud Congress and the People into supporting a war of aggression against another sovereign nation using completely false claims of certain knowledge of illegal weapons of mass destruction, the quick discovery that there were no such weapons, that there was no certain knowledge nor could there have been?

The revelation of a related conspiracy to punish a whistle blower by revealing the covert status of the whistle blowers wife, destroying in the process the real weapons of mass destruction investigation efforts being conducted by that covert operation and the careers and possibly the lives of an unknown number of foreign operatives working with the covert agent, said conspiracy managed by top administration officials?

The conviction of the Chief of Staff of the Vice President for obstructing the investigation into the conspiracy to reveal the covert agent's status?

The commutation of the sentence handed to the Chief of Staff of the Vice President by the President, creating a clear and obvious quid pro quo condition wherein the executive branch used its power of pardon and commutation to protect said Chief of Staff from punishment, and in doing so protect other administration officials from being implicated in said conspiracy?

The prolonged drowning of a major american city on live TV while the federal agencies responsible for emergency services failed for days on end to mount any relief effort?

The fraudulent war, proclaimed "mission accomplished" one month after the initial invasion, transformed into a completely predictable nightmare quagmire occupation with a clear potential for destabilization of the entire region, drags on for longer than our engagement in WWII with no end in sight, no possibility of anything resembling a victory or even an exit strategy, and no political willingness by either de facto official political party to do anything substantial to alter a disastrous and endless foreign adventure?

The spectacle of the Attorney General of the United States repeatedly dissembling and outright lying under oath on multiple occasions about many issues some of which clearly involved impeachable offenses, and quite likely criminal offenses committed by the executive branch?

The astounding assertion of a carte blanche executive privilege by an administration faced with numerous congressional investigations into highly questionable activities committed over the seven years of malfeasant corrupt rule by this gang of texas oil mafia hoodlums?

Oh I could go on. But I ask, what outrage committed by this criminal cabal would actually cause a prolonged public and general outrage, an uprising if you will, against a regime that must be clearly seen as outside the law and outside the constitutional framework of our dysfunctional and perhaps defunct republic?
