5. A fucking

celebrity con POS is doing Putin's bidding, and people are getting killed. Get him out please.

2. It would be a shame if something happened to TT Istanbul.

You would think some of these fighters would realize that Trump's real estate interests are putting them in harm's way. Maybe if they weren't there anymore? Just saying.

3. She sounds concerned. Must've studied up with Susan Collins n/t

4. Okay, but something else has to be going on.

7. Yeah. I don't think it's all about the towers.

More about who is backing the forces moving in from the south.

8. Doubt it's the hotel as it's not even his, he's just licensing his name to the real owners (nt)

9. I can believe that greed is all that's behind this, but Russian kompromat is certainly a possibility

even when they had the power to do so, so stop lying.

Trump has promised to keep his business empire separate, handing over control of his commercial operations to sons Eric and Donald Jr. for the duration of his time in office. Trump has refused to fully divest from his empire, in what critics have said was a violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause.

Multiple investigations and reports allege that Trump has been personally profiting from the presidency, using the office to bolster income at his resorts, hotels and other businesses.

11. This IS baffling

I wonder if this is meant to grab our attention away from something else? But what could it be??? Well, , it's a mystery we'll probably never solve, right Liz?

12. Wow! Another idiot named Cheney

Of course you don't understand. It's genetic thing in your family.

He will through his children under the bus if it will save his sorry ass.

Kinda like your dad. He threw America under the bus to save his failing
Haliburton and then enriched himself to pamper your dumb ass.

14. Apples don't fall far from the tree...

[Wounded Bear]

13. Trump never met an agreement he couldn't violate...

He never honors his own deals, why should anybody expect him to honor deals other people struck?

We should send him to the Wheel.
