Lol

Did you know Trump's casino was a money laundering operation as determined by the DOJ?

Do you think that's a bad thing?

[spurraider21]

I'm not so sure any longer, 21. Once, IF the dam breaks it won't be that difficult to get to 20. "He's going to be voted out in 9 months anyway, why should I stick my head out."

If true he should have just fought Biden man-to-man. He has/had the swing states, the ability to (fly over) 1/2 the damn country & a boundless boodle.

He's going to have to go to court, that will give him a chance & it will give him time.

the second trump offers any sort of mea culpa is the second where he validates the impeachment on any level, which he wont do

cocaine mitch wont let anything harm his dear leader. , look at lindsey graham. said trump getting elected would be akin to getting a bullet to the head. now he's bootlicker #1. the party has gone unhinged. you might call it Trump Derangement Syndrome

The kicker? I wanted Bolton. I thought he'd soldier splendidly for the old man, would never double cross him, would want to shove it to the D's & Media for all the years they called him everything but a white man.

But, the relationship was rocky from day 1 with the old man always up his ass with ridicule. I didn't understand it, it was never explained. Christ, one minute he's hired, the next he's on a banana peel. !

guy had been inaugurated for a minute and his cult following bought hook line and sinker his "this is the greatest cabinet in the history of this country" crap (which has no objective basis, obviously)... and now feels like every position has had 2-3 different people

Trash + corrupt Deutsche Bank, both convicted of money laundering. It was DB that loaned Trash $100Ms when US banks wouldn't touch him, with the money actually coming from corrupt Pootin's corrupt mafiya. "some say" Pootin's net worth from looting Russia is $200B

Darrin et al are such gullible tool for rightwing propaganda

I know, I was just being fanciful. That is what (I) would do thru a back channel. You're right, he'll never do it & like I said even if he did they'd never take the deal.

He'll have to stall thru the courts, but, if there is enough blood in the water & (loser) in the air this thing could go sideways real in' quick to where he won't have a friend anywhere to count on as they'll all want to refurbish the Republican Party to the old days & will take their medicine in a blood letting like after Watergate..."I'm sorry I went "unhinged," beat me & make me suffer for a while. I deserve it."

[[[If true]]] once again it's like Watergate: targeting an opponent who you stood at least a 50/50 chance of whooping honestly.

& don't be surprised if Bolton doesn't have media/tape confirming these allegations.

Well, he had back stabbers galore: Tillerson, the Generals, Comey,,,

&&& he didn't clean house Day One of every Obama holdover. "Oh, they're all Americans deep down, they'll soldier fine." No. That's in the social studies books from Junior High from the '60's.

That was foolish, reckless &&& LAZY. He didn't want to take the time & effort to clean & repopulate those positions. He just (let it go) bowled a few lines down in the basement bowling alley with Barron.

TRUMP SAYS HE HAS NO INTENTION OF HAVING BOLTON’S BOOK READ ALOUD TO HIM

WASHINGTON —Donald J. Trump has “no intention whatsoever” of having John Bolton’s book read aloud to him, Trump confirmed on Monday.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that his daughter,

Ivanka Trump, had obtained a draft manuscript of the Bolton book and

had offered to read it aloud to him “like she does with all of the other books,” Trump said.

“She reads the books to me slowly and stops

when there’s a long word to tell me what it means,” Trump said.

“But I told her that the Bolton book was the last book in the world that I wanted to hear.”

the coverup always smells just as bad (if not worse) than the crime.

its the exact reason the russia investigation blew up the way it did. if he just let it play its course, had his people cooperate, not fire comey, not try to have his lawyer fire mueller, etc, it would have been a much quieter investigation that would have ultimately found no collusion

he's making the same mistakes this time around, preventing people from testifying, refusing to turn over do ents.

I got no problem using the courts. D's/Media are always heralding the 3 Branch of Gov't, but, only when it serves their needs. Well, now it serves our needs. Let the courts decide it.

But, this is MeToo at work...nobody wants to wait for "courts"---takes too long & the verdict is uncertain. Thru MeToo you don't have to wait.

This one on John Bolton was a big, stupid lie even by Trump standards

“The Democrat controlled House never even asked John Bolton to testify. It is up to them, not up to the Senate!”

The House Intelligence Committee scheduled a deposition with Bolton in early November,

then waited to see if he’d show up.

Bolton instead said he would go to court to get a ruling on whether the White House could block him from testifying.

“We would welcome John Bolton’s deposition and he did not appear as he was requested today,”

“His counsel has informed us that unlike three other dedicated public servants who worked for him on the NSC and have complied with lawful subpoenas,

Mr. Bolton would take us to court if we subpoenaed him.”

the committee marked Bolton’s refusal,

under White House pressure,

as another piece of Trump’s obstruction of Congress.

GOP senators privately demanding to know why White House set them up to take the fall over Bolton

some Republicans are privately angry with the White House for boxing them into a political corner, with some demanding to know what they knew and when about the manuscript Bolton was going to release:

Maggie Haberman
✔@maggieNYT

Per sources,

some GOP senators privately pushing White House for information on

who at administration had visibility into the manuscript over the last month.

Senators feel blindsided.

7:36 AM - Jan 27, 2020

the talking point that Democrats’ call for new witnesses is pointless because none of the witnesses are claiming direct knowledge of any corrupt motives behind the Trump administration’s decision to withhold the aid.

Bolton is revealing he did, in fact, have this knowledge, it obliterates the major justification Republicans hung their hat on to skip hearing from witnesses and summarily dismiss the trial,

lawyers for Bolton transmitted the manuscript to the White House a month ago.

“HE REALLY THINKS HIS CALL WAS PERFECT. IT WASN’T”: TRUMP AT ODDS WITH GOP, KUSHNER, HIS CAMPAIGN AS IMPEACHMENT BITES

Angry at

Kushner for the Time magazine cover and

at GOP allies for their lukewarm impeachment defense,

the president is veering off his campaign message. And advisers are worried.

“A lot of Republicans think the Democrats have done a very good job,” a prominent Republican who is close to Trump’s legal team told me.

“It’s been a lot better than we expected.”

Florida congressman Matt Gaetz, one of Trump’s fiercest House allies, seemingly spoke for many when he blasted Trump’s lawyers, telling Politico this week that the

Trump team’s presentation was worse than “an eighth-grade book report.”

Trump himself is making the situation worse, both with his rages—he set a 142-tweet record on Wednesday —and

his insistence that Republicans buy in fully to his defense strategy.

“It’s really not helpful,” the Republican close to the legal team said.

“Trump is mad at Republicans that they aren’t saying his call with [Volodymyr] Zelensky was perfect.

He really thinks his call was perfect. It wasn’t.”

the dynamics of the Senate trial are clearly shifting in directions that are dangerous for the president.

Trump’s circle is waking up to the notion that impeachment is a serious drag on his campaign.

“Impeachment is drowning out all his accomplishments,” accomplishments???

Trump and his advisers about whether the campaign should run on base-incitement issues like immigration or a moderate-appealing message about the economy

Trump is focused on other stuff and going after [Joe] Biden.”

Parscale said the top issues the campaign would emphasize were

the economy, sucks for MOST of Americans

the China and Mexico trade deals, problems caused by Trash

national security, and making America less safe, like any Repug does.

protecting Medicare.

Trump recently told some Republicans that he decided to say “ it” and kill General Qasem Soleimani

Trump may rein in Kushner by bringing in Kushner antagonist Chris Christie to replace acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney.

So, you counter deal:::"Fine, I'll go, but, all charges from my birth date to the end of time are wiped from the scrolls, blood line as well. I'll toss that nary (pardon) will be lodged before I go. Deal?"
