Pompeo is flying around the world trying to bribe other governments to manufacture dirt on Biden while the US ambassador is running from Baghdad with his tail between his legs and our embassy is looted. And Trump is playing golf.

not knowing what the hell he is doing, or how his words will affect events. It is so depressing to see how desperate these hoods are to cover there misdeeds. It just looks so bad.

2. Rudy can't be trusted at this point.. won't be prosecuted, but not a valid messenger any longer

So trump ordered his sos to do rudy's errands.

A lot of world governments are very, very, good at doctoring evidence. It's a mo brainer they are doing just that. It takes time, but they have that. They just need a fig leaf to hang to make this look remotely plausible. It can still be a lol fake, but they will laud it as authentic and run with it. People will believe it. The nyt will talk about it. It will be legitimized on mtp. And there will be snarls that both sides do it.

And this isn't just a biden problem. They will have dirt on all the candidates. Just in case one ends up as the nominee or a vp choice.

Wait for it. Be prepared for it.

11. "Rudy can't be trusted at this point"?????

When has Rudy been a person of trust? I don't know about you but I have always had an immense distrust for that crook.

You can tell a lot about a person by what kind of "family man" he is. Even his kids hate him.

That they will have dirt on all candidates is a given, republicans never talk about the issues, their campaigns are all about fake dirt on their opponents, and Biden seems to give them so much material that they don't even have to go outside to find it, it is a gift that keeps on giving.

"Wait for it. Be prepared for it." --- I hope Democrats (DNC) are not sitting on the butts "waiting for it" because everyone knows its coming, are Democrats ready to stop it? I would hope they are, but there is no indication of any proactive actions that would lead me to believe they are ready. Republicans are still taking minorities off the voting lists, and I don't see anyone stopping them, yes Harris in Georgia is fighting it, but so far I don't see any dents in stopping the repubs from doing it, 300,000 people have been removed from the voting lists in Georgia.

I think the world realizes it.

Did they actually have to evacuate the ambassador? So many conflicts in the news.

Based on recent revelations, hopefully his Senate candidacy is doomed.
