    Mick Mulvaney announced at his press conference today that Trump has decided to hold the next meeting of the G7 at his Doral,Florida Golf Resort.The ultimate in self enrichment to put bodies in the beds in his largely empty golf resort which has been losing money.Just another example of his profiteering from his office as our president.Mulvaney also acknowledged that decisions related to our foreign policy in Ukraine were driven by Dirty Donalds personal desire to discredit and malign his political opponent Joe Biden.

    Republicans crapped their pants when they thought Jimmy Carter's peanut farm might profit from having Jimmy having access to the Agriculture Department - now they just shrug their shoulders at Trump directly profiting from his position as president.

    WTF. It's like the Republicans have abdicated any sense of morals just so that they can share the Trump shade of brown lipstick.

    Not enough to violate the emoluments clause by accepting emoluments from other governments. Trump has left that behind and now forces foreign governments to produce emoluments for him.

    Anybody out there still has any doubts that Trump has committed impeachable offenses?

    Of course there is! There will always be a Trump cult. And by "always" I mean a couple of more years.... maybe....

    This is in keeping with Don's apparent belief if he does something unethical/illegal right out in the open it's easier to get away with it.

    Conflict of interest doesn't bother you? Profiting while being the prez doesn't bother you? Not caring about, at the least, the appearance of impropriety doesn't bother you? Wait............I forgot who I was asking. Never mind.

    No it doesn't. Of all the things one can have against President Trump whether he makes a few million dollars here and there from being president is way down on my list of things to be bothered with.

    Frankly I'm far more bothered by his hanging the Kurds in Syria out to dry than how much money he makes.

    Incidentally if I ever ran for president one of my slogans would be

    "I promise not to steal too much or lie too often".

    It would help if you actually knew what "emoluments" were. And if the prohibition on them even applied to a president.

    And as long as people such as you label supporters of President Trump as a "cult" then I don't give a damn what you say.

    So............the next prez should be so terrible as to make you have greater concerns than violating a clause in the Constitution designed to prevent foreign influence? What a strategy.

    His new deal that Pence and the Secretary of State just struck with Erdogan just left the Kurds with no homeland as we just ceded the rights to their homeland to the Turkish!!!

    What are you babbling about? The Kurds have never had a homeland. At least not in modern history.

    Not having a recognized state doesn't mean they had no homeland.

    If you're going to try to parse words, at least know what the words mean.

    Yes, I know what they are. And yes, it applies to the President. Especially to a President. Unless you believe that Trump was elected "god" ... or something....

    This is a time in our history in which we need to put political correctness aside and call things for what they are. Not that everybody that has supported or supports Trump is part of his "cult". But the High Crimes (and crimes) that Individual 1 has committed are so blatant that the only way to explain why anybody would deny them is a "cult mentality". If Trump stood in the middle of 5th Avenue and shot somebody, and it was captured on tape, and he admitted it, his cult would still deny it.

    Denying that making world leaders to meet at his private Golf Resort is impeachable, I believe would make anybody highly suspicious of forming part of his cult mentality.

    Way over the top. There is no need for him to do any of this. And, in the end, he won't. But he is setting himself up to be seen as a "dictator."

    False. Kurdistan has been and is the Kurd's ancestral homeland. It has never been a sovereign nation.

    The 1920 Treaty of Sevres which divided up the Ottoman Empire after WW1 granted Kurds certain areas in Iraq,Turkey,Iran and Northern Syria.

    The had a safe haven. Where they and all those who were persecuted by Assad and by the Turks were relatively safe.

    Trump handed that to the terrorists and to his boss, Putin.

    Under US law, it is illegal for a politician to solicit anything of value from a foreign entity in U.S. elections.

    Mulvaney's admission and the testimony of Sondland and multiple career professionals in foreign service attest to Trump's having done precisely that in his attempt to smear a political rival concerning whom there is still no evidence of wrongdoing.

    Putin is not the boss of Trump. You've swallowed a myth.

    And a "safe haven" is not the same as a homeland. Radial difference.

    It's wonderful that, after donating his salary back to government agencies, he is willing to donate the use of his property at cost and a great savings to the government for the G7 Summit. No doubt part of the enjoyment is that he gets to poke slobbering haters in the eye. Worth the price of admission.

    Do you think he should have to pay for the fun he is having at your expense?
