Donny's feeling the pressure and it's causing him to go off the rails more than usual. What an incompetent, unsophisticated moron.

I like it that the media are now pointing out when Trump just makes things up that aren't actually evidentiary based, and are just conspiracy theories.
CrazyJoe
So DT's juvenile taunts scare Republicans so much that they cower in silence? It doesn't take much to intimidate them, does it? It seems to me that their best response would be to point and laugh. They wouldn't have to say anything.
It is disgraceful that the GOP won't stand up to this bully. Show some courage and do what is right for the country.

To support Trump means to support foreign meddling in U.S. elections, and to support foreign meddling in U.S. elections means you're certifiably a bonehead.

Country? Since when have the Republican oligarchs cared one anything about 'country'. They've led the US into wars that they profit from. They set legislation for them to profit from. They care about maintaining the wealth of the wealthiest. Politicians like Trump have got their support because he's making decisions that of course benefit him first, but whose secondary effects are benefitting the richest. In the US and around the globe.

so Trump goes off yet again..... meanwhile, the paper mache Rome he has built continues to burn to the ground
Strangerland
He's a master at getting us to focus on these verbal farts of his, rather than things like the complete and utter collapse of his foreign policy on North Korea.
Chip Star
Agreed. Don't worry, it won't be long before Trumpophiles are here decrying this as fake news pushed by the biased, liberal MSM.
Chip Star
Forgot to throw in the Deep State nonsense. Apologies.

The lack of evidence of any wrongdoing by the Bidens is mentioned in numerous articles I've seen. You would think the Trumpophiles might start to get the message but I think their their egos will collapse if they accept they've just bought a lot of worthless spin.

Even Tuck the Cuck Carlson says Donny made a mistake using foreign aid as leverage for dirt on a political rival. Tuck the Cuck also admitted he spins stories to appeal to ignorant conservatives.

The Dems now have the big, fat, orange flounder thrashing about wildly on the hook of the Ukraine scandal, but they to be careful and reel him in real slow as he twists and turns implicating ever more of his co-conspirators that have become entangled in the phishing net of the corrupt Trump crime family.

Correction:

You can see the desperation in Donnie's tweets and his interviews - he's losing what small grip he had on reality...
As more and more evidence comes out and even more Whistle Blowers come forward, he'll sink deeper and deeper into a psychotic paranoid state - irrationally lashing out.
The parallels with Nixon are striking.
I sure hope someone has hidden the nuclear button....
Haaa Nemui
I agree with your post but sheesh please don’t joke about this. It’s too close to reality.
lincolnman
Believe me, I wasn't joking. If Gen Mattis was still there, I'd be a little more assured, but with the current band of sycophants.....

Romney savaged Trump during the 2016 campaign, calling him a"con man" who was unfit for the presidency, but the two men later set aside their differences.
I like how Trump teased Romney, inviting him to dinner and getting his hopes up that he would be picked for Secretary of State, hehe
Even Tuck the Cuck Carlson
You can't cuck the Tuck.
the corrupt Trump crime family.
Are saints compared to the corrupt Clinton crime family.
Me and millions of other Americans and yes, millions of people around the world say thanks for the insult.
I sure hope someone has hidden the nuclear button....
You have no idea how that works, do you? One person, even the POTUS cannot launch nuclear missiles on his own with the push of a button.

"the corrupt Trump crime family."
Deflection is tacit acceptance that the Trump family is corrupt.
Haaa Nemui
again I agree.
Refer to the post above and you’ll see that it is clearly understood. It’s all about context.
lincolnman
And Romney is now saying thank God I'm not a member of this kindergarten cabinet - as they all go down in flames with Trump...
Who really sucks...
Very convincing....
Trumper grammar - they copy their Sainted Leader....
Especially when the POTUS is a Moron...but you may want to do a little study on the nuclear football....

Romney had a lucky escape.

re;that the president of the United States used “the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.”
If it proves to be in the interest of national security of the US, so be it. He can use whatever resources he feels he needs. Each country must protect its best interests at all costs not politically correct or use of fabricated, twisted words to unseat any leader.
If only the Democrats would have not wasted their time and concentrated their efforts into a 5 yr balanced budget then perhaps the country would be booming. They have done nothing but wasted time, energy and costs. By the way who is footing the bill on yet another witch hunt? waste, fraud and abuse? hmmm
Blacklabel
More people voted for Trump for President then voted for Romney for President. Plus Trump actually won. So there is that.
Blacklabel
(And btw a top Romney adviser was on the same Ukraine board as Bidens kid. So of course he wants this all to be stopped)
Blacklabel
Cofer Black is on their board even now. He is why Romney is attacking Trump to hide Romney’s own knowledge of Ukraine through his top adviser.
bass4funk
It’s not really going to make a difference what Romney says. He may want to challenge the President next year on the GOP side, but Romney should know he just would never get the traction, respect, support or even the crowds Trump gets.

Stopped? Nothing has even started.
Strangerland
Haha, you want to get into the numbers of people that voted for Trump? Really?
ToshiYori
If this is true, and there's no China-related wrongdoings, this whole Ukraine\China thing appears to be a win for the Democrats. There's no need to pursue the "Trump is asking foreign governments to undermine political opponent" scenario. Cancel the committee meetings and discredit the President by giving maximum publicity to the fact that he has falsely accused the Bidens of corruption.
starpunk
He has no friends, that's a sign of a Macbeth unravelling.

While what Romney says is true, and he is for the most part a man of integrity, I lost all respect for him when he groveled to Trump for the Secrtary of State position. Remember that photograph of the two at dinner?
Raw Beer
There is a video circulating showing Biden bragging that he was able (when he was VP) to pressure Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who was investigating the alleged wrongdoing.
bass4funk
Gosh, where were all the Mitt worshippers 8 years ago? All these people that praise and respect his integrity, why you guys didn’t speak up then.....I mean, kindly like y’all are doing now?
Well, lost respect when he showed he was weak and not Presidential, that’s when I lost respect for him.
Serrano
House Democrats are examining whether there are grounds to impeach Trump based on a whistleblower's complaint that said he asked Zelenskiy to help probe the Bidens. Hunter Biden was on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company for several years.
Biden: "I didn't know anything about Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine. I just figured he went to Ukraine for cheap hookers and cocaine."
Simon Foston
Raw BeerToday 03:18 pm JST
No. You're regurgitating discredited garbage. Biden pressured Ukraine into firing a prosecutor because he was hardly investigating anything. That video is, for your purposes, useless.
SerranoToday 03:40 pm JST
Well up to your usual infantile standard.
Raw Beer
@ zichi,
I have seen the video in many places, here's one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCF9My1vBP4
@Simon
Are you suggesting Biden pressured Ukraine to fire the prosecutor because he was NOT investigating the Hunter Biden-linked company? Riiiight...
BTW, there is also a video showing Joe Biden telling a reporter "I've never talked to my son about his overseas business dealings" and then we see a picture of Biden playing golf with his son and a Ukraine gas exec. You can see this at about 37min into this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz9hyJzt0Mw
I wonder why the FBI has never found any wrongdoing, perhaps they should be fired for not investigating...
