    Trump's Businesses Got $7.8 Million In Foreign Payments During His Presidency: Report

    And another thing he hasn't been prosecuted for...YET. :rolleyes:

    What we've seen so far is just the top and most obvious.
    But there's still tons of things he did that they haven't gotten to yet.
    There's only so much time, mind and money...only so much courts, agents and so on can handle. Only so much the media can focus on.
    It's like trying to drink from a fire hose.

    Much less what his family and cronies got and pocketed...beyond himself...

    Part of me wants to dig and get it all and drag him into every court. :mad:
    The other half wants to stop, him to fade and not hear his name ever again. :oops:

    I hope one day for quiet.

    I say hound the greedy, sleazy bastard to hell if necessary. The punishment is a problem because many politicians, and quite a few judges, follow the hallowed Glass Houses Rule.

    I like this part of the report re Republican hypocrisy in the Hunter Biden investigation and Biden impeachment:
    "As HuffPost has previously reported, the foreign payments that went directly to businesses controlled by Trump himself might be better examples of the kind of corruption Republicans are talking about."

    Many people have been saying this.

    Hope it makes Chump sweat.
    Probably will stink even more for his cronies.

    Some say that SCOTUS will do a write up that sez, "Just this time, for this situation" to allow T an out but not give B an opening.

    Frankly, this is getting stupid and hideous.
    By now, we're just looking for ways to destroy our nation.
    Bit by bit, law by law, we're giving in to tyranny in one shape or form.
    Slippery slope...

    I'm pretty sure the conservative SCJs would've already done the "just this once" thing if they could've figured out the wording...and getting five votes.

    At some point the immunity issue has to be settled. I just hope it's not under a Repub POTUS, esp not NPD Trump.

    14.3 should make immunity seem like first year law school debate, but something tells me it's going to be sidestepped until it goes away.

    Meanwhile to many people in the US, and most of the world, it looks as though NPD Trump is getting away with everything.

    Trump Calls On Supporters To Put A Stop To 'Bags Of Crap' Arriving At Polling Places — HuffPost

    Same Shit, Different Day

    Ok, we already know what’s going to happen
    (If he isn’t jailed or banned)

    Same shitshow…
    More idiots going to do stupid illegal things for him
    More trails, more jail terms

    Him instigating, then saying “who me?” :rolleyes:

    We know what is going to happen
    Nothing new, same plan

    That doesn’t surprise me
    But, the authorities and courts will likely allow it AGAIN!

    Then we have to clean up the mess
    And the media will say, “This happened!”
    “How could this happen?”

    And then many will ignore it.
    Some won’t believe it
    And so on…

    How do I know???
    Because he was fuckin planning it all the first time
    And it was leaked AND put in the media
    BEFORE it all started.

    He either tells us or he has very obvious tells.

    That’s what is wrong.
    That we know, yet we don’t stop it.

    Then we have to investigate it???
    What’s to prove? It’s all out there.
    He and his cronies are incompetent sloppy shits.
    (God forbid we ever had smart subtle bad guys)

    Why can’t we just not let it happen?
    Don’t let the damage and chaos occur.

    Chump is telling y’all.
    Government do your fuckin’ job.

    I think NPD Trump crossed the line (even further?) when he specifically said

    "If you see bags of crap coming into the voting areas, you’ve got to stop it."

    Donald Trump didn't sign Illinois loyalty oath that pledges he won't advocate overthrow of government

    And this surprises you??? :rolleyes:

    Again, he's telling US everything he's going to do...
    Just like he did before.

    We're just lollygagging around.

    I wonder if America will win The Darwin Award?

    Here's the funny thing, people thought I was a conspiracy theorist back when I was warning about Covid-19 coming... :confused:

    Well, I guess I can always have the pleasure of saying, "I told ya so". (even though that's really annoying)
    I guess everything is negotiable, except nukes.
    (Hope he's not crazy enough for nukes, he's certainly crazy about everything else :eek:)

    In the article somebody is quoted as saying the loyalty oath is part of an old (outdated?) McCarthy era policy, which sounds right to me. But that doesn't mean NPD Trump couldn't sign a document that is/was largely symbolic...and mostly meaningless.

    I'm not sure NPD Trump has the fortitude for using nukes. If the reports are correct, he stopped, at nearly the last minute, the air strike on Iran in retaliation for Iran shooting down an extremely expensive US drone because he didn’t like the casualty potential numbers.

    Would NPD Trump (try to) use nukes on his perceived enemies within the US? That's an interesting question.

    Yes, it is a traditional yet meaningless document.
    So, why not sign as all the others have...again, it's part of the pattern.

    There have been a trail of breadcrumbs for this whole time Chump has been in the Federal government arena.
    Lots of pointers.

    Yet, he's still done it all, again and again...not only shown ahead what he's going to do, but then actually done it.
    Smoke and mirrors...redirection and distraction.
    Leveraging the boy that cries wolf syndrome...but he's actually the wolf claiming the sheep.

    Gotta stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. Yes, even nukes.

    This is what he relies on.

    Point, why do we have to wait until the pandemic is actually here before actually thinking it exists???
    We did THAT too. Look at the damage.

    What I'm saying is even in the seemingly inconsequential, there IS a pattern and trend.

    If it's wrong fine...however, he's already proven it right, repeatedly.
    Why wait for it again???

    This is what pissed me off, all the indicators, all the pointers, all the smoking guns...
    Again and again.

    What? Do we have to wait for him to shoot off nukes before we can confirm he may do it??
    Crazy is crazy. And PROVEN crazy. again and again.

    Understandable frustration. There is long history of NPD Trump doing things his way, be it unethical or illegal, and getting away with it.

    Your head would've exploded if you heard the "conversation" I had on Saturday with a true maga believer. He was one of the ones I consider truly dangerous.

    "Trump is a piece of shit, election denying, huckster whose own wife won't campaign with him."

    NPD Trump doesn't know when to let certain past stupid actions stay quietly in the past.

    Meghan McCain blasts Trump after he said John McCain 'couldn't get his arm up' to torpedo the GOP's Obamacare repeal bill: 'A huckster whose own wife won't campaign with him'

    Nobody on NPD Trump's election team, at least those with a partially functional brain, would want NPD Trump to bring up John McCain. He shouldn't want to remind people of some the most embarrassing and classless things he said & did re McCain.

    This isn’t first time NPD Trump has dug up McCain, although it has been a while. I wonder if he would go to Arizona and say some of these things? That could be very interesting.

    Trump told European leaders that US ‘will never come to help you’

    Yet another reason, Chump is a poor leader...allies essentially pissed on...other nations can't rely on him.

    I just don't understand how there can be voters for him.
    Other than just pure anger, rage and spite.
    They want a bull in the chinashop.

    And willing to risk everything.

    It just doesn't compute to me.
    Anyone care to take a stab at it?

    Before they stub at US... :eek::confused::oops::(

    It sounds like the typical "You may now kiss my ring" narcissistic arrogance that is NPD Trump.

    I'm still trying to figure out the poll numbers showing the amount of support for him. At this point I'm hoping it's his relatively small number of base supporters skewing the polls. I'm also hoping the divide between Repubs & Dems isn't so deep it drives normally rational people to support NPD Trump only because he is (appears to be?) the Repub candidate most likely to win.

    Trump says he got money from China and Saudi Arabia because he was “doing services” for them

    Suuuure... :rolleyes:

    Y'know there are street whores a lot cleaner than you.
    (more respectful too)

    Slime.
    Does anyone believe him anymore, other than his fans?

    Maybe that's part of the problem, people just ignore his BS, expecting it. And just vote for "their side" or "not the other guy".

    I'm going to have to back off from posting about Chump
    just too much diarrhea to keep up on, surging in the election year.

    I'm getting slimed just from reading this crap, much less talking about it. :oops:
