And get paid to serve on them. The Trumps are hyperventilating about nothing. And are clearly extorting Ukraine to manufacture fake evidence of some sort. Enough of this bullshit. Rudy should be tossed out of there.

Clearance and is still doing family business, but his name never comes up. Ivanka is getting Chinese patents left and right now how many of those did she get before her dad became president. But for some reason all I’m hearing is Hunter, Hunter, Hunter. It’s starting to sound like 2016.

5. IMO the Rs are going to play on the Biden/Burisma issue during the election just like they played on

Benghazi and HRC emails, and the media will never try to educate the idiot public and the idiot voter will be made to feel good that their vote against Biden is a vote reaffirming their support of the Rs position on Benghazi and HRC emails. IMO the Biden/Burisma issue will be the reason D's lose in 2020. Sorry to say it but I think that Biden is a hinderance to taking back the WH. The Biden/Burisma issue will be the main, if not only, R talking points during the run up to the 2020 election.

Mention ivankas China trademarks, charitwble fraud they committed and any of their maldad, bad behavior--focus on them. Then move on to talking about policy--two can play at this game or No?

But I don’t honestly think it’s going to gain any traction except in the already cloistered supporter circles.

There will always be a "gift that keeps on giving" as acted upon by the GOP and their idiot surrogates in regards to the Democratic front-runners.

Doesn't matter who it is, doesn't matter what it. The GOP will always take a mole-hill, pretend it's a mountain, and convince their idiot base to "lock her up."

Or do you think this particular issue is somehow different or more relevant in one respect or another from all the other baseless attacks upon the Democrats? And if so, what is the relevant and precise difference(s)?

13. Yes. But if it wasn't Burisma, the republicans would find something else

to repeatedly flog. So the issue doesn’t matter as much as the echo chamber that amplifies faux scandals.

Burisma is a strange word, making it memorable. It reduces the entire Ukraine narrative the GOP is pushing into a single world. It is even alliterative with Benghazi.

Essentially Burisma was meaningless until the GOP constructed a definition for it. Now the word can symbolize whatever lie or obfuscation the GOP wants to attach to it.
