Terrified Trump Says He May Skip 2020 Presidential Debates
According to reports, Donald Trump has been talking with his advisers
about the possibility of simply skipping the 2020 presidential debates.
He claims that the media won’t be fair to him, but the truth is that
he’s terrified of the thought of going up against anyone who is going to
call out his lies and his pathetic record as resident. Ring of Fire’s
Farron Cousins discusses this.

A Few Questions For Enraged Republicans
Posted by Rude One
In the wake of Democrats finally loading the cannon on actual articles of impeachment, Republicans are somewhere between frantic denial and explosive apoplexy as they insist that Donald Trump did nothing wrong in his dealings with Ukraine and Congress. So I have a few questions for 'em.
1. If Ukraine is so corrupt, why was no funding held up in 2017 and 2018? And why was corruption in Ukraine not a significant part of any hearings in the House of Representatives in those years, when Republicans were in the majority? (And in hearings in the Senate, corruption in Ukraine was seen as directly being influenced by Russia.)
2. If Ukraine continues to be so corrupt, why were the funds even released in 2019 when they made no tangible additional effort to fight corruption between July and September?
3. If Ukraine interfered in the 2016 election in the United States, why did the Republican-run committees in the House ignore that in 2017 and 2018? Not a single hearing looked into that in those years, although hearings did focus on how Ukraine needed the support of the United States against Russia.
4. If Hunter Biden did something so awful, how come Republicans in the House didn't investigate it in 2017 or 2018? Devin Nunes was the chair of the Intelligence Committee, and Republicans chaired the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary committees. But the name "Biden" barely comes up in hearings, mostly in a historical context. And "Hunter Biden" is simply nowhere to be found. What made him more corrupt in 2019?
5. You ask rhetorically if the United States shouldn't pursue an investigation against Burisma and Hunter Biden just because he's the son of the president's political opponent.resident Trump was asked if he
had asked for investigations of a single other person or entity in
Ukraine, and he couldn't answer. Do you have an answer? Why didn't you
pursue those in 2017 and 2018? Do you think it's okay to only
investigate Hunter Biden?
6. When a Democratic president's staff is subpoenaed to come before Congress, do you agree that that president should be allowed to order them to defy the subpoena?
7. When a Democratic president refuses to allow any documents to be given to Congress during investigations, do you support that?
8. If a Democratic president asks for a favor from the leader of, perhaps, Israel to look into, say, business deals of the Trump family because Israel is so corrupt, are you okay with that? Would you support that president withholding aid to Israel until they dealt with the issue?
These are all ridiculous questions because Republicans have decided that any sense of consistency, dignity, or honesty must be subsumed in their deeply depraved defense of Donald Trump.
They are all his willing bitches and he's their enthusiastic pimp, sending them out to fuck the country, knock it out, and take its wallet.

Michael Bloomberg Thinks He’s The Only Candidate Who Can Beat Trump
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg told an interviewer this week that the
entire field of Democratic candidates was weak and that Trump would eat
them alive during the campaign. Of course, he believes that he is the
exception to this, which is laughable.
There are plenty of Democratic
candidates who would lose to Trump, both electorally and in a debate,
but there are also several who would destroy him.

Trump’s Kids Forced To Attend Classes On How NOT To Defraud A Charity
As part of a settlement agreement over the misuse of charitable funds,
Trump’s kids Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric are being forced to take a course
on how not to defraud a charity.
Imagine being so corrupt that a judge actually orders you to take classes on how to NOT be corrupt.
Sadly, that’s the world we’re living in with the current leader of the United States and his family.

Trump Campaign Compares Him To Genocidal Marvel Supervillain
The Trump War Room, an extension of the Trump for resident campaign,
tweeted out a video depicting Donald Trump as Marvel supervillain
Thanos, thinking that it would be the best way to own the liberals.
But the campaign must not have actually watched the movie, because Thanos loses in the end, and the clip they chose to superimpose Trump’s head onto is just moments before Thanos’s plan falls apart. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Joe Biden Is The Hillary Clinton Of The 2020 Election
Joe Biden might still be the front runner in most polls, but he isn’t the
candidate who can beat Donald Trump.
In fact, all of the problems that Hillary Clinton had in 2016 are resurfacing with Biden, both the real and the imagined.
And, like Clinton, some of the attacks on Biden are unfair, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t resonate with independent voters and swing the election back towards Trump.

Trump Becomes Global Laughing Stock At NATO Summit
Donald Trump attended the first day of the NATO Summit yesterday, where
he promptly became the laughing stock of the entire world.
He was fact-checked by foreign leaders during press conferences, snubbed by a member of the British Royal Family, and even mocked behind his back by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
