    That's the spirit! What's in it for ME?

    Trump keeps insisting that America still has the greatest economy in the world - so why do we need Bloomberg's help? Or Gates? They're asshats anyway, so let them help those far less fortunate, without great economies. You don't want their money or help, do you?

    Well, here's something that got missed by the msm. Gee, I can't imagine why.
    If I were cynical ...


    The FBI exonerated Trump jr for the tower meeting, but mueller failed to make note of it in his "report":

    https://justthenews.com/sites/default/files/2020-03/SCOFBIInterview302AnatoliSamochornov.pdf

    Mueller’s hidden evidence: Translator exonerated Don Jr. in Trump Tower meeting

    Samochornov was one of the few eyewitnesses to the meeting: He was hired by Veselnitskya to act as a translator on her law work and attended the Tower confab as such. His account to the FBI undercut the false collusion narrative.

    “Samochornov could not speak about other occasions, but said there was no discussion about the 2016 United States presidential election or collusion between the Russian government and the Trump campaign at the meeting,” the FBI reported.

    “There was no smoking gun, according to Samochornov. There was not a discussion about dirt on Hillary Clinton. Samochornov did not think Hillary Clinton was mentioned by name at the meeting," the FBI report added. "Samochornov had not heard Veselnitskya say anything about having ‘dirt’ on Hillary Clinton. Veselnitskya did not offer any materials during the meeting and no papers were exchanged.”

    Thanks for having my back, lol. Funny, I was responding to his post which swerved from the OP, but I guess my response had him thinking that it was 'off topic'.

    Did anyone ever seriously doubt this? ALL of Trump's money has been laundered from Russia since he took a CASINO bankrupt some years ago. It's hard to get people to back you when you had to "restructure" a business where people GIVE you money for nothing. His ****** Campaign Manager is serving time right now because of his connections to Russia.

    Thank you, BaghdadBob, for admitting that Gates and Bloomberg are donating 165 million to the fight against Covid.

    Yes, the anti-Trumpers were so confident in their incorrect views.
    If a "misleading tweet" is "Obstruction" what is withholding exculpatory evidence by dirty cops?

    There is virtually no other news. The entire world is pretty much shut down. If you want to get news from around the world, as much as there is these days, watch BBC World News. They do actually cover the entire world.

    Why are Trumpettes so blind? No one is saying he created the pandemic. What they are saying, and what is the truth, is that his poor, abysmal handling of the problem here has caused and is causing thousands more deaths than would otherwise be necessary. He is a complete failure as a leader. Why do you think the US, a country with a miniscule population compared to China, has so many more deaths than they do? Because our federal government failed to contain the virus early on. Duh.

    Just none of that is true.. One thing that will be sorted out in the future is whether or not we over reacted and destroyed a thriving economy based on fear.. right now, I believe the President is acting on the side of caution, as I am also doing.

    Good. Just goes to show that not all news reported is only about coronavirus (probably the biggest news item of the century) but also about other stories that people would be interested in.

    Really? It usually makes me want to puke on my shoes.

    I don't enjoy watching the death of a once great nation.

    Stop watching CNN and you will drastically reduce the fake news.

    According to King Trump, nobody at all watches CNN so how could you tell someone to stop watching CNN? They have zero audience at this point.

    Not according to the King; he has stated that CNN has no viewers. Not a handful, not a few, not one, but no viewers. I hope you are not accusing the president of lying; I don't think that he'd appreciate that at all.
