In your mind he is. in reality, voters had held their collective noses and voted for the 'lesser of two evils' all my life. Now we're scraping the bottom of a trash can behind a restaurant looking for candidates and only NOW Trump is destroying the country? Mannie, just like any Trump supporter turns a blind eye to his evil ways in favor of his 'perceived' good actions, Dems have done the same with Clinton, Obama and Hillary. Hillary should have been prosecuted for destroying evidence but a corrupt Obama FBI let her skate. Hillary pushed Obama to back big oil and the MIC's scheme to take down Libya. That's a F'n war crime of the first degree. Obama and Hillary allowed right wingers to engage in a coup de tat in Honduras and now there is absolute silence from the Left, totally ignoring the Elephant in the Room that the illegal immigrant "problem" is a direct result of Hillary/Obama/Wall st directed foreign policy in Central America. Bush and Obama let wall st off the hook after stealing trillions from idiot American homeowners and we're all still on the hook. Bush and Obama let Epstein of the hook! This country is already destroyed.

Perhaps we need Mueller to investigate Chinese interference in US elections? I can better understand why O was reluctant to open the can of worms with Russian interference in 2016. Not to mention Biden using the Ukraine to interfere as well. thehill.com Banker Behind Biggest Malaysian Corruption Scandal Indicted For Donation To Obama Campaign by Tyler Durden Fri, 05/10/2019 - 16:25 Twitter Facebook Reddit Email Print Pras Michel, the Fugees rapper who once included a cameo appearance from a pre-Apprentice Donald Trump on his hit solo album "Ghetto Supastar", has been indicted alongside the Malaysian banker and alleged mastermind of the $4.5 billion 1MDB fraud for funneling money stolen from the doomed sovereign wealth fund to benefit President Obama's reelection campaign. Yes, you read that right. The rapper, who has largely faded into obscurity until he appeared in several stories about Malaysian financier Jho Low's lavish Vegas parties, was identified as a close friend of Low, and allegedly helped open bank accounts in the US that were used to disguise the source of Low's money, which was donated to PACs working to support Obama's reelection bid. Michel and Low were indicted Friday afternoon in the same indictment, which - for those who have been keeping track of the sprawling 1MDB probe - ties the 1MDB scandal - one of the biggest financial frauds in history - and former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak to political organizations that supported Obama's reelection campaign. And where did this money come from initially? Why, it was raised by Goldman Sachs! So an international fugitive who is believed to be hiding somewhere in China under the official protection of the Communist Party illegally used foreign money to tamper with a US election. Sometimes, the truth can be stranger than fiction. Both men were charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States (one of the charges that was bandied about by Russian collusion conspiracy theorists like Rachel Maddow). Here's more from the DoJ press release announcing the charges. A United States entertainer and businessman and a Malaysian financier were charged in a four-count indictment unsealed today in the District of Columbia for conspiring to make and conceal foreign and conduit campaign contributions during the United States presidential election in 2012, announced Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. Prakazrel "Pras" Michel, 46, and Low Taek Jho, 37, also known as "Jho Low," were charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States government and for making foreign and conduit campaign contributions. Michel also was charged with one count of a scheme to conceal material facts and two counts of making a false entry in a record in connection with the conspiracy. Michel appeared today for his arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey in the District of Columbia. Low remains at large. The charges are an outgrowth of the sprawling federal probe into the collapse of 1MDB, which was purportedly looted by former Prime Minister Najib Razak, Low and members of their inner circle. While Michel is in custody, Low remains at large. Remember this the next time Democrats denounce foreign interference in American elections.

Mannie This kind of stuff is what drives people to someone like Trump. Personally, I feel Obama was as big a hypocrite as any president in US history. The Honduras coup is what started our current immigration crisis and yet not one D is willing to pony up and admit it. The same scenario is being played out in italy with Libyan refugees. To this day, D's will point to Honduras and Libya as Hillary successes, making her the "most qualified presidential candidate" in history. === Superstar rapper Drake, who rails against climate change, buys massive private jet The private jet ownership is despite his efforts to campaign against climate change in his songs. With song lyrics that include: "[They’re] talkin’ bout how the weather’s changing / the ice is melting / like the world is ending," you would think he would try to live a low carbon lifestyle, but alas. By: Marc Morano - Climate DepotMay 10, 2019 4:24 PM with 0 comments The rapper Drake, who has surpassed The Beatles in song popularity, is now the proud owner of a 767 cargo jet despite his vocal climate change campaigning. Drake acquires a gigantic plane. – Via Daily Caller – “The superstar rapper showed off his plane, called “Air Drake,” on Instagram Friday, and it’s downright absurd. The interior is absolutely massive, and he points out that it’s not a ‘timeshare’ or ‘rental.’ It’s just all his.” ========= In 2006, former Vice President Joe Biden told a South Carolina rotary club audience that he proudly voted for the Secure Fence Act - authorizing the construction of 700 miles of fencing at the southern US border. He also called for a crackdown on companies which hire "illegals," saying: "I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats — and some of you won't like it — I voted for 700 miles of fence," adding "But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high, unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and — and you will not like this, and — punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing." So, 2006 Biden and President Trump agree on immigration policy based on this video unearthed by CNN's KFile. "Now, I know I'm not supposed to say it that bluntly, but they're the facts, they're the facts," said Biden. "And so everything else we do is in between here. Everything else we do is at the margins. And the reason why I add that parenthetically, why I believe the fence is needed, does not have anything to do with immigration as much as drugs. And let me tell you something, folks, people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it's all coming up through corrupt Mexico." zerohedge.com

The Dems are completely supportive of Trump's tariffs. The only opposition I have heard recently came from Senator Paul from KY who has urged the President to resolve differences with China and eliminate tariffs or a recession will come in 2020. Dems really offer nothing when you think about it.
