but i'm convinced the president himself is in up to his bald spot in debt, money laundering, etc. really the whole family. they never had to play by the rules. they appear to truly believe that laws don't apply in their case. i hope they all go to prison for ages, i really do, and i hope they end up in poverty. it'll be good for them.

His venture in publishing failed. When the Kushner came into a large multi-billion dollar amount of money he plunked it all into that 666 building which is a money pit. While Trump excelled at getting other people and/or companies to pay the price of his failure, Jared's failures stick to him like glue.

Trump has been known for years as a huge micro-manager getting involved in the smallest details. So, I think that if Papadopolous or Manafort or somebody came up to him and said, "Hey, my buddies in Russia said they can get some dirt on Hillary Clinton, do you want it?" - Trump would have not only said yes, he would have directed his son, son-in-law and others to set up that big Trump Tower meeting. He was probably listening over a muted speakerphone as well.

If you haven't read Fire & Fury, Wolfe (the author) makes a point in telling us that the administration, being as incompetent as they are, simply do not concern themselves over collusion, polls, legislation, etc.. Anything that can be considered as part of an administration's job, they simple screw it up, screw it over, and take a mulligan the next day on Fox news.

Everything that is, except Trump's personal finances. Wolfe related time after time the look of abject fear in all the Trumps' eyes (Jared, Invaka, etc.) when the subject of Comey or Mueller cracking open the family books.

So I think you're right. I believe Trump is well aware that he's gotten himself in too deep, and what we're watching now are the Beverly Hillbillies trying to save the Titanic by pouring water onto it.

...for the Russian organized crime syndicate.

They played him -- and, ultimately, us -- like a cheap violin.
Or, to put in terms that the current generation could understand -- like an MP3 downloaded from a dubious source.

Get.
Out.
The.
Vote.

Dammit!

Jared is like Uday and Qusay, dumb as a box of rocks. His investment skill with 666 Satan Ave tells us much about him.
