The GOP'S Most Brazen Lie: That Trump CARED About Corruption In Ukraine.

Sure he cared, the way Colonel Sanders cared about the welfare of chickens.

Trump is a moron, but he has a GENIUS for one thing. CORRUPTION. He LOVES it! He LIVES for it. He's a MASTER of corruption like Rembrandt was a master of color!

Who else but Trump could come up with a crooked scheme like this?

Create a FAKE CHARITY, and blackmail people to donate money to it. Then use money from his FAKE CHARITY to BRIBE Pam Bondi to drop the lawsuit against his FAKE UNIVERSITY!

And you know what? I'll bet the reason Pam Bondi joined his legal defence team is because he BLACKMAILED her with the threat of exposing the fact that he bribed her to drop the lawsuit.

THAT'S A HAT TRICK! A TRIPLE PLAY! Seriously, wtf?

- the contractors who worked for him and got stiffed. Then there's his love affairs with corrupt leaders like Bibi.

3. No one mentions George H.W. Bush's boy and Harken Energy. They gave away a bunch of money

to the boy, plus stock, which he sold off probably on insider trading information. That score allowed him to buy into the Texas Rangers, which ultimately helped him end up as Governor of Texas and then President. So maybe we should look at Hunter Biden as a candidate in 2024?

4. I'll agree that's the most egregious confabulation of the moment

But one that will largely be a footnote in the historical record, compared to the GOP's reckless abandonment of environmental stewardship when devastating global storms, droughts, polluted oceans and waterways seriously impact our grandchildren's food supply and everyday survival.
Greta's house is on fire, and GOP idiots sit back and have a cigar, confident that their stack of dollars will shield them from all consequences of ignorant inactions. Meantime their base prays to a chosen confabulatory diety for rain, a wall and a ridiculous arsenal to protect them from duh bad hombres.

8. His former campaign manager was the poster child for corruption in Ukraine

He was paid $12 million out of the billions that the corrupt ex President Yanukovych stole from the Ukrainian treasury. And then he tried to hide that money from the IRS.

And now his personal lawyer, who he has decided is also his foreign envoy, is rubbing elbows with the most corrupt people in the country.

Donald Trump loves corruption and hates Ukrainians.

9. i want Dems to hammer this idea for it's total hypocricy and lies.

The person who was convicted 3 times in the USA for fraud is not one who cares about corruption. He is personally implicated in stealing money from children with cancer to pay for campaign costs, Pam Bondi bribe, and a huge picture of himself. This is someone who has been CONVICTED by 3 different courts of fraud, same thing as corruption. It is not even within the bounds of reason that someone who is CONVICTED 2x during the past 2 years in office of fraud and cheating is someone who welcomes, invites and 100% participated in corruption. This is someone Mueller said obstructed justice 10x during the reporting period and the true extent of his corruption with Russia in affecting the 2016 election will never be known because is his rampant obstruction.

I want Dems to talk about this every time they have the mic, he is a criminal and has always been a criminal. He got charged twice with racial discrimination in housing and went back to cheating every time, even when promised not to in writing. We've got to get some R defectors so his condemnation is bipartisan. Hopefully there will be 2-4 who will vote for impeachment so drummpf won't get the story he and PUtrin are trying for.

there's a whole bunch of Senators and Representatives that are throwing their hats onto the ice to "honor" the Con Man!

THOSE are the true criminals - aiding and abetting a known felon.

member with any credibility left. They have all been compromised, all are crooked. The way they blindly back tRump says a lot about their standards, ethics and respect. Moscow Mitch needs to be exposed for the criminal that he is. What happened to Graham is anybody's guess. They are all traitors, openly and unabashedly. WHY? tRump is the dumbest, most corrupt, inept person they allowed to be the face of their party. With any luck, he will destroy the entire brand. The sooner the better. The truth will eventually be exposed.

The GOP'S Most Brazen Lie: That Trump CARED About Corruption In Ukraine. Sure he cared, the way Colonel Sanders cared about the welfare of chickens.

The match is yours, mon ami. And your retort reminded me of the bizarre truth behind the idea of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Yes, shepherds look after their sheep and keep them safe from predators--because they are a valuable economic resource.

When the time comes, it is the shepherd who fleeces the flock and chooses which will die to fill the cooking pots. The shepherd also controls the mating habits of the sheep which may be why Fundies are so obsessed with everyone else's sex lives.
