Heh.

It's true

It matters not whether you agree with him on how to make the nation great.
HEH (earns you two more capital letters).

"Trump's company is making millions from the Saudis"

This was never to be avoided.

The Kilmeade link doesn't work, but I'm sure it's full of the intellect and penetrating analysis that he's famous for.

"Trump's company is making millions from the Saudis"

This was never to be avoided.

A person who wanted to lead the country would have divested all financial entanglements at the launch of his or her campaign. It is more evidence of criminal intent. It’s probably on tape.

No prosecutor has lit up Gates or Weiselberg yet. We’ve only gotten the slightest tiniest taste of the impressions stored on Flynn, Manafort, or Cohen’s possessions and already four felonies against Individual 1 have been exposed nakedly in audio.

With Individual 1’s five decade career of courting criminals and flouting the law as he managed his enterprise, Congress will not have time to get through basic oversight review, much less draw up articles of impeachment before Individual 1 loses reelection and his indictments are all unsealed.

That kiiidcarter8 seems incapable of even visualizing this possibility is telling.  If Trump was a “patriot” whose only concern was the good of the nation, then divesting from the Trump Org was a no-brainer.  The mere possibility of a leader using national policy to enrich himself (whether or not he uses it, and we better believe Trump is using it) does not make us a great nation.  It makes us a third world nation.

But it’s good for Trump.  Therefore kiidcarter8 supports it.

We did respond on Koshogi.

True, “We’ll never know who killed Khashoggi” is a response, just not the response that was warranted, and not the response of a great nation.

And now that it has been confirmed by Senators on both sides of the aisle that we do know who killed Khashoggi, there has been no response from the White House.

It’s a response that serves Trump and Kushner’s interests only.  While doing long-term damage to the US’s reputation as a global protector of human rights, and therefore damage to our ability to protect our interests outside of the country.

You know, the kind of thing some people think is necessary for our nation to be “great.”

You havent followed the story very well.   It was investigated thoroughly (not swept under the carpet) and sanctions were issued on individuals PROVEN to have been involved.

Zooey Deschanel could crack Leon Redbone like a dry stick.
She is the she in She and Him, isn't she? She must like the song.

Need to find my Leon Rebone Christmas album. Only version of Frosty the Snowman I can listen to without wanting to self harm.

Heh.   There's precious little store Christmas music that doesn't lead me to the razor blade aisle.  Or the pahrumpapum rum.

Maybe no smocking gun? Just the thing you need for a cover up.

McCarthy is an admirable American, if you need a coconspirator to cover your treason and embezzlement.

FIFY.
