Folks, if you thought Trump had finally hit the bottom, you are sadly, sadly wrong.

“In the middle of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine, Donald Trump's priority on Tuesday was urging Vladimir Putin to hand over any documents he may have about Hunter Biden's dealings with Russian oligarchs.”
——Daily Mail, UK (3/29/2022)

And that's completely aside from all the stuff he's done (and continues to do) that I, at least, would never have imagined.

Fairly early in his presiDUNCEy, I realized that I was never going to be able to predict or even guess what he might do, because there are places his wizened narcissistic scrap of a brain can go to that I didn't even know existed pre-2016.

Why?. ..Donald Trump is sure he can get away with it and have NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL!!!

NUMBER 2:......Donald Trump has no conscience at all about lying or stealing. None at all.

And NUMBER 3: ...What have the consequences been up to now? ..Has he lost his money, home or whateve?

Do they expect to find Hunter routing stolen oil money to his dad's campaign? His dad wasn't in office or running for anything during the time period in question, nor was he planning to run for anything.

In any case, dirt on Hunter is dirt on Hunter, not his dad, and at this point, undoubtedly manufactured by the Kremlin.

TFG seems to be determined to be a bigger and bigger fool. I just hope he paid his Russian buddy in advance and now that Russian buddy can't get it out of his ATM.

The answer is a lot easier today than most days. Also, always remember the greater the magnitude of the distraction, the more important the truth being obfuscated.

The answer: #FailedCoupGuy and Eastman committed crimes beyond a preponderance of the evidence.

Tue Mar 29, 2022, 10:32 PM

which he most likely wasn't and it was one of his sober periods, it would have been drunk, shot or snorted.

I hope for his sake he's managed to stay clean. If he hasn't, you can bet his dad never saw a dime of any ill gotten gains. His dad would have refused them, anyway, and I think Hunter would've been too smart to take them. Windfall money would have threatened his sobriety.

Why do Republicans always think everybody else is as dirty as they are? Is it how they manage to look in the mirror, "everybody does it?" Or do they think their own crimes are perfectly understandable, just like their abortions are, while the ones they think we're doing are sheer evil?

It would make riveting reading in a psychology dissertation.

other than finding the 'evidence' that the Bidens were somehow tied into illegalities in Ukraine before Putin invaded.

#45 thinks any 'proof' will magically unwind all the things that went wrong for him after that and he can move back into the White House.

No, the current war in Ukraine doesn't matter to him.
No, the fact that this makes him look insane hasn't occurred to him, and it never will.

#45 has an inability to judge the relative importance of different facts and events in the world around him.
Never did, never will.

What secret(s) is Putin just sitting on for the right moment to hurt our country? And anything about Hunter Boiden that is 'discovered' will be fake news. Just to take the focus off of the trump crime family. This seems so obvious.
