Guess Who Else Donny Is Colluding With
While everyone’s focused on Ukraine, Trump is selling out to Turkey.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/...rds-syria.html

Quote:
It’s hard to keep track of President Donald Trump’s betrayals of his country. First he solicited Vladimir Putin’s help in the 2016 election. Then he teamed up with Kim Jong-un to lie about North Korea’s arsenal. Then he covered up intelligence about Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s role in the murder of a U.S. resident. Then he pressed Israel to deny entry to members of Congress. Then he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Democrats.

In the midst of all this madness—most recently, the administration’s stonewalling of a congressional inquiry into Trump’s coercion of Ukraine—the president has ordered American forces to get out of the way of a Turkish invasion in Syria. The troop withdrawal looks like a distraction, but it isn’t. Trump is colluding with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, just as he has colluded with other authoritarians against the United States. The timeline of their relationship tells a story of disloyalty to America and its allies...

Did we betray the Kurds for Trump Towers?

Without a doubt.

Donny pressed Tillerson to help Giuliani client facing DOJ charge

https://www.salon.com/2019/10/10/tru...harges-report/

Time to get Rex under oath. Repubes will have a tough time repudiating someone who's a highly successful businessman, lifelong Republican, and honest enough to push back on Donny's repeated illegal schemes. He represents what used to be the Republican party, exactly the opposite of the slimeball-in-chief. He has a lot to say, get him talking under oath.

Appointees and staffers are expected to serve to pleasure the POTUS, a distinction with a difference.

Federal judge says Trump's use of emergency funds to build wall is unlawful

https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/10/11/pol...nds/index.html

Pretty much everything Donny does is unlawful.

The media needs to focus on the real corruption

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...al-corruption/

Quote:
President* Trump unconstitutionally receives the benefits of foreign deals and refuses to release his tax returns that would reveal sources of income. And we’re supposed to be concerned that Hunter Biden, whose father is no longer in office, is serving on a Chinese company’s board? Something is terribly wrong with this picture.

The media need to press Trump and his children — and Congress should be investigating and subpoenaing records — to reveal all foreign sources of income for Ivanka and Jared and all foreign business activity by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. Perhaps the House should pass legislation specifically barring adult children of the president from engaging in any foreign business dealings. Ivanka and Jared need to divest from their business holdings or leave the White House. Period.

Biden’s campaign has yet to call for the Trump children to take the same pledge as Hunter Biden, but it really should consider going on offense. Ivanka, Jared, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are the poster children for familial corruption. We do not know whether actions Trump takes (e.g., abandoning the Kurds at the behest of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan) are taken to further the family finances. (They sure don’t benefit U.S. national security.) We don’t know how much money they all reap from foreign businesses and whether they engage in foreign business dealings as they travel on the taxpayer’s dime.

We Found a “Staggering” 281 Lobbyists Who’ve Worked in the Trump Administration

That’s one lobbyist for every 14 political appointees, and four times more than Obama appointed in half the time.

Drain the swamp!

Trump Tax Documents Show Major Inconsistencies
The president’s* businesses made themselves appear more profitable to lenders and less profitable to tax officials. One expert calls the differing numbers “versions of fraud.”

https://www.propublica.org/article/t...nconsistencies

It’s called tax fraud, Donny. It can land you in jail.
