"SNIP....

New York Times: “President Trump’s re-election campaign has run menacing and misleading ads this fall accusing Joe Biden of corrupt dealings with Ukraine. Republicans in Congress are scrutinizing Mr. Biden’s son, pressing the State and Treasury Departments for information about his work for a Ukrainian energy company. The president himself has unleashed a stream of unfounded accusations against the Bidens and pushed for them to appear at a potential impeachment trial in the Senate.”

“As Mr. Trump faces impeachment for allegedly pressuring Ukraine to investigate Mr. Biden, he and his allies are now turning those same claims about Mr. Biden and his son into a key element of their defense. And they plan to continue to hammer at the Bidens’ Ukraine dealings as impeachment proceedings move into the new year.”

“There is no evidence that the elder Mr. Biden, while serving as vice president, improperly intervened in Ukraine to benefit his son. But the president’s advisers are betting that many voters will ignore the complexities of the allegations and absorb a simple message about a father using his influence to help his son.”

1. Blatantly lying is an assault on the public trust

They think they will control the narrative with PR lies and distortions, but everyone, every media outlet is aware of their MO now. Some will surely call them out on it. Democrats cannot be bludgeoned to death with lies from Trump's White House.

2. Its deflection

Away from what he did in Ukraine, and was caught this time in the act, but wants attention focused away from his guilt. He's done this numerous other times.

3. Thing is, Biden didn't make the ask, and Biden's not president up for impeachment.

4. But they will vaguely attach Biden to Ukraine. They want that narrative

for the election: 1) Biden did something in Ukraine so 2) Trump was improperly impeached.

5. We always knew it was going to be a shitshow.

The President is the worst person in the world.
