My (often cloudy) crystal ball shows Trump slithering away after he somehow manages to throw Rudy under a bus, making it look like Rudy went rogue.   Congress will hold hearings, people won't show, and any impeachment initiative will collapse.   Conservatives will be cool with what Trump did because it's okay to violate ethics and Constitution if you're trying to beat the libtards.   Being a Repub now doesn't require a coherent ideology, just the lust to WIN!   

Now?

Heh.  The broad "now" - as in "in these times."

BTW, hempcrete sounds great, and if your house catches on fire you won't mind nearly as much.

Trudeau may be a “ woke” joke and patently idiotic to cry about his “ privilege”.
Yet none of his darkened face photos demonstrates racial prejudice let alone portray his Country as “ less than a racial haven”.

Just some basic dot-connecting.
Ukraine badly needed US support.  And Trump palmed them off to his personal lawyer who wanted campaign dirt in exchange for aid.  Trump allegedly asked 8 times in one phone call for Ukraine to investigate Biden. 

You can imagine the bind Ukraine was in.  While the US Embassy in Kiev was so worried about Guiliani running independent foreign policy apparently with the Prez's approval that finally someone there tipped off the US intelligence community about this sordid affair.

Reportedly Trump said that being friendly with Russia was more important than anything to do with Ukraine.

Whoa!  Trump tried to get a foreign gov't (Ukraine) to dig up dirt and help tarnish a political opponent of Trump's (Joe Biden).  Specifically, Trump wanted Ukraine to reopen an investigation of a gas company that Hunter Biden was on the Board of.  And this while the novice and new Ukraine President sought an Oval Office meeting with Trump to show Russia the US supported Ukraine strongly.  While Trump decided to hold up military aid to Ukraine that Congress had overwhelmingly passed.  So there is a new untested Ukraine gov't, under direct threat from Russia, being blackmailed by Trump into helping him politically in exchange for $250M in military aid and a show of support.  At the same time, Trump seems to be in the pocket of Putin and not wanting to upset Russia.  Apparently wouldn't support Ukraine and counter Russia without getting tangible help in US domestic politics.  So Trump invites another foreign gov't to interfere in US politics while being investigated for helping Russia interfere last election.


Nice summary.  You guys have good writers of drama.

Nice ongoing support for criminal behavior and betrayal of the country, Kid.

Stay classy.

Tennessee GOP attempts to roll back Medicaid coverage for the poor and for children under the guise of "block grants."

I am sure Kid and Ward will have volumes to say about this, as usual.

Hemp isn’t cannabis. No THC. Hempcrete also doesn’t catch fire.

Ignorance and paid shills come in all colors, sizes, ages...

That you repeat such bullshit without critical commentary is just more of the same from you, Kid.
