guillaumeb's JournalTrump promised nothing to Volodymyr Zelensky.
In the limited sense that in all likelihood, Trump did not explicitly promise money to Ukraine as a reward for opening yet another investigation into the already disproven nonsense about Biden and the Ukraine.
When crooks meet, often what is asked for is cloaked in coded language. And that is done because the crooks know that their conversations might be recorded.
My opinion is that the thoroughly corrupted leaders of the GOP will decide that the appropriate meme here is to claim that only if there is a "smoking gun" of direct statements will they admit that Trump is a crook.
Donald Trump is a human Jenga tower of lies.
His first issue is that he is a crook. One reason that he is a crook is because he is a terrible businessman. He cannot make money legitimately.
All of his business history, except for the reality television fantasy that was "The Apprentice", bas been a story of failure, bailouts by his father, numerous bankruptcies, and over 4,500 lawsuits against him for non-payment of bills.
And, of course, we know of his dealings with the American Mafia and the Russian mafia/oligarch/Putin cartel.
He is a terrible businessman because he is not very smart. Anyone who listens to Trump speak cannot escape the conclusion that he is incoherent and incompetent in literally every field of knowledge. He knows nothing about anything except bullying.
And the problem with being incompetent, and a crook, is that Trump must lie to cover up his crimes.
And the problem with being a life long liar, and a crook, is that every time any bit of actual truth is revealed about Trump's 10,000 plus lies, Trump's story must change to accommodate and explain his lies.
The final problem?
The leadership of the GOP will do anything to support him, and 35% of Americans think he is a good President.
There is a photo of Melania Trump here:

PS.
If anyone wishes to repost the picture here, please feel free.
The GOP is truly a one Party group in a two Party system.
And that summarizes it completely.
The GOP has no interest in being bipartisan. They see any compromise as weakness.
The GOP has no interest in negotiating because it is their way or nothing.
The GOP has no intertest in solving the many problems in this country, including, but not limited to:
climate change,
wage stagnation,
the healthcare crisis,
the economic crisis,
white collar crime,
white supremacy,
election security,
and so many other issues.
While Trump Tweets, Nancy Pelosi Unveils Proposal to Lower Drug Prices
From the article:

GOP politicians love to talk about offering a plan for US residents, but the Democrats actually offer something of substance.
Why not adopt the US health insurance model for automobile insurance as well?
Under that system, you would be restricted in what repair facilities you could use.
You would have to get all repairs pre-approved.
You would have no idea what the actual total cost of the repair would be.
Your insurance could reject your claim for repairs, and insist on a second or third opinion.
Every repair facility would need to hire people specifically tasked to dealing with the hundreds of companies offering car repair insurance.
Ridiculous you say? But this is how the US healthcare profit making machine works.

In Georgia, a Democrat launches a campaign that's all about faith
From the article:
But this year, no one is combining faith — however broadly defined — and politics as acutely as Sarah Riggs Amico, 40, a newly announced Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, running to oppose incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue....
“You don’t love the neighbor, if you shun the poor, the powerless, the least of these,” she says over images of immigrants in detention centers. “Faith is how I know that nobody should be sick because they’re poor, or poor because they’re sick. That we need to protect and sustain the earth. That we have an obligation to stand up for economic security and social justice no matter the color of your skin or who you love.”
The ad goes on to refer to Scripture several times while outlining a decidedly liberal vision for Georgia that showcases implicit support for immigrants, the environment, abortion rights, people of color, and same-sex marriage. The inclusive message is juxtaposed against what she argues are the moral failings of the Trump administration.
Centering her left-leaning political message on faith is a bold strategy that experts say is not only attracting accolades from liberals and conservatives alike, but also hinting at a new faith-fueled trend among Democrats running for office in the Deep South.
