The untaxed greatest ego in all history has enough cash to pay private investigators to put Biden in jail. But his game is promoting himself onto the world stage even if everyone throws tomatoes. Impeachment may even suit him for attention grabbing. The only US pres behind bars ? Perfect.
 
It will be interesting to see how Don and the Republican Party deal with the testimony of the US diplomats who were instructed on how to persuade the new Ukraine govt to open an investigation into the Bidens.

US diplomats told Zelenskiy that Trump visit was dependent on Biden statement
Newly released texts show diplomats made clear that better Kyiv-Washington relations were linked to cooperation

US diplomats told Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, that a prestigious White House visit to meet Donald Trump was dependent on him making a public statement vowing to investigate Hunter Biden’s company, and a Ukrainian role in the 2016 elections, according to texts released on Thursday night.

The texts, released by three congressional committees holding impeachment hearings, show that the diplomats made clear that any improvement in Kyiv’s relations with Washington would be dependent on Zelenskiy’s cooperation in Trump’s quest to find damaging material about son of his leading political opponent, and on the Democrats in general.

In August, Zelenskiy’s government became aware, through a US press report, that military aid for its struggle with Russia, had been withheld by Trump, in an apparent effort to increase the pressure on the Ukrainian government.

The texts are exchanges from July to early September between three US diplomats - Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, Kurt Volker, the then special envoy on Ukraine, and Bill Taylor, the acting ambassador to Kyiv. Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani and a Zelenskiy aide, Andrey Yermak, also make brief appearances in the correspondence.

The conversations leave no doubt that the state department was deeply involved in the effort to use the office of the presidency to pressure a foreign government to investigate Trump’s political enemies. At one point the diplomats even draft a statement for Zelenskiy to read out

If he talks his way out of it then what can Canberra complain about when China pushes into Aus politics? Downer will be speechless.
 
A subpoena has been nailed to White House chief John Mulvaney's door. The sand bags won't allow him to reach it but journalists read it out with Donald threatening to bankrupt socialist traitors. EU has launched Interpol alert for Boris the Brexit last seen in an Irish swamp.
 
Saw an interview with Stormy Daniels on Scandinavian TV . (You tube)
Naturally it was on the Trump relationship and the efforts by Trumps lawyer to not only get her to sign an NDA but then sign a statement that she had never had any relationship with Donald Trump in any way.

Interesting interview. One of the telling points, in my view, was the fact that she and Donald Trump had about 3 hours of quite intelligent conversation around largely businesses issues. She thought at that stage, he was intelligent and articulate. Dons current incoherence looks all the more intriguing.

 
As a genius himself, he was enthralled by her eloquence, oratory and syntax which enamoured the platonic bardic lyricism within his Byronic breast.
 
Insight into Donald Trumps thinking by the guy who wrote The Art of the Deal" for DonaldTrump (And deeply regretted it ever since .)
 
The Guardian today:
Serious people, including some Republicans, worry that Trump is the “doomsday president”, determined, if he goes down, to take everyone and everything down with him. If such a point is reached, it is frighteningly unclear whether a goaded, maddened Trump could be trusted to act sensibly and sanely on issues such as Iran and North Korea.

The example of King George III, another American sovereign who lost his reason and his control, comes to mind. From hubris, chaos.

If Trump's Rage Brings 'Civil War,' Where Will the Military Stand?


https://www.thedailybeast.com › if-trumps-rage-brings-civil-war-where-wil...

13 hours ago - Earlier this week Donald Trump, commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces, tweeted that his impeachment “will cause a Civil War”

This bit :roflmao::roflmao:

"
“Donald Trump is everything the U.S. military should despise: a draft dodger, adulterer, flabby, lazy, unread, a tabloid joke for decades, and TV reality show star.”
"
 
Another whistleblower on Trump. This time he seems to have actually heard the phone call.
This should really send him into orbit.
I wonder how long the Republicians can keep their fingers in their ears and pretend nothing is happening.?

A second whistleblower comes forward with ‘first-hand knowledge’ of corruption
Another whistleblower has come forward with allegations after an impeachment inquiry was launched into US President Donald Trump.

A second person has come forward with corroborating first-hand information about US President Donald Trump’s alleged attempts to pressure Ukraine for personal political gain, local media reported on Sunday, US time.

ABC News revealed that lawyer Mark Zaid said the second whistleblower was an intelligence official who “has first-hand knowledge of some of allegations outlined in the original complaint [and] has been interviewed by head of intelligence community’s internal watchdog.”

Marty Lederman Retweeted Donald J. Trump

Is there anyone out there who could, sincerely & w/a straight face, argue that the person who wrote this tweet (like countless tweets before it) is fit to be the head of *anything,* let alone the United States? I don't envy historians who'll have to explain this.

....This makes Nervous Nancy every bit as guilty as Liddle’ Adam Schiff for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, and even Treason. I guess that means that they, along with all of those that evilly “Colluded” with them, must all be immediately Impeached!

China is ignoring the norms of the western system of trade and freedom. Maybe it no longer exists as a predictable world-order with the US the way it is now. 1 year to go for the loony - unless he doesn't go...
 
I believe Trump is removing air power protection for their allies the Kurds who defeated Isis.
The Turks will soon be sending in Arab militias with their air power to kill the Kurds in Northern Syria.

I don't think the US populace will be happy with this, I'm not, it's a betrayal. It will also allow Isis to reform.

Hopefully he wakes up!
