Here’s your conquering hero Brumar, no matter what you allege Trump may or may not have done the actions of the government are 10,000 times worse. Any fool can see this unless they are a dyed in the wool statist, socialist or communist.

You have been incessantly railing about the morality issues of Trump for a long time now and have used that argument as a justification to call for his removal from office. I have been thinking about responding to this in a serious way for the past couple of days. It would require that I spend a significant amount of time explaining how it is that a born again believer in the Messiah could support any man who does not necessarily live up to my own current standards of morality and I simply have not wanted to write an essay on the matter. Well, lo and behold, Ben Shapiro has just covered the topic in a way that has almost mirrors verbatim what I was thinking of writing. If you really care about the issue and are not just a rabble rousing left wing communist trying to cause trouble, then watch this newly released video. The discussion takes place from the start of the video. Shapiro says it well.

BOMBSHELL. YOUR HERO, AVENATTI IS NOT GOING TO BE PRESIDENT! LOL Michael Avenatti was $15 million in debt during Nike extortion: feds By Rebecca Rosenberg December 25, 2019 \| 4:20pm Michael AvenattiAP Luxury-loving lawyer Michael Avenatti was $15 million in debt when he tried to extort Nike, Manhattan federal prosecutors charge in new court papers. “The Government expects that the evidence at trial will show that, at the time of his charged conduct, the defendant was in significant debt,” Assistant US Attorney Matthew Podolksy wrote in documents filed late Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. “Specifically, the Government presently estimates that the defendant’s debts at that time were, conservatively, in excess of $15 million.” In an earlier filing, Avenatti’s lawyers argued that evidence of the alleged debt – including money owed for a race car, Ferrari and Porsche — should be kept out of the courtroom. Podolksy told the judge that prosecutors want to introduce evidence of his arrears at trial to “establish his desperation for money at that time and thus motive.” Avenatti’s financial troubles also include payments owed to two ex-wives, a former law partner and his celebrity onetime lawyer, Mark Geragos, prosecutors wrote. When reached for comment, Avenatti said the government’s assertions about his finances were hogwash. “Any claim that I had $15 million in debt at the time of my arrest is bogus and absurd,” he said. “I look forward to the trial in this case at which time I will be fully exonerated and the truth will finally be known.” SEE ALSO Michael Avenatti wants to hide extravagant expenses from Nike jury His lawyer, Scott Srebnick, has argued that the information is irrelevant and would only “invite a jury to engage in class-based bias regarding the defendant’s wealth.” Avenatti is set to go on trial next month for allegedly trying to shake down the shoe and apparel behemoth on pay-to-play deals the company had with young athletes. He is accused of offering his silence in exchange for a payout of more than $20 million. TOP ARTICLES2/5TRUMP CAMPAIGN SITE HELPS SUPPORTERS ‘WIN ARGUMENTS’ WITH ‘SNOWFLAKES’ He was representing youth basketball coach Gary Franklin at the time, who claimed to have dirt on the sportswear giant’s alleged shady payment practices. Avenatti became a household name after he repped porn star Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in her lawsuit against President Trump to invalidate a non-disclosure agreement she signed after they allegedly had an affair. The suit was dismissed, and Daniels has since severed ties with the lawyer. The beleaguered lawyer is also facing indictments in New York and California for allegedly stealing settlements from his clients — including Daniels.

SENILE JOE TURNS HIS BACK ON HIS OWN SON. WHAT KIND OF MAN ABANDONS HIS OWN BLOOD, WHEN THEY NEED HIS SUPPORT THE MOST. JOE BIDEN, THAT'S WHAT KIND... ----------------------- Hunter and his new wife omitted from Biden family Christmas greeting by Joseph Simonson \| December 25, 2019 05:08 PM AP Top Stories December 25 A Christmas greetings from the Biden family were conspicuously missing two members who are the subject of considerable scandal and chatter: Hunter Biden and his wife, Melissa. Joe Biden posted a photo on Twitter late Christmas morning that included most members of the Biden clan along with a video featuring two of the family dogs. The Bidens added the message: "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. With love, from my family to yours." May your time with loved ones be full of peace, laughter, and joy. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. With love, from my family to yours. pic.twitter.com/L7mwR4nBKd — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) December 25, 2019 Hours later, the former vice president's Twitter account posted a video featuring Champ and Major Biden, two German shepherds. "When we say Merry Christmas from the entire Biden family, that means even the dogs." Neither his son nor his new daughter-in-law appear in either of the tweets. When we say Merry Christmas from the entire Biden family, that means even the dogs. pic.twitter.com/PblQHBH792 — Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) December 25, 2019 UnmutePause Loaded: 99.87% Duration 0:48 Fullscreen Inside the Magazine: December 17 The scandals surrounding Hunter Biden, 49, are fraught politically for his father, currently mounting a third White House run. On Christmas Eve, news broke that private investigators hired by Lunden Roberts, the mother of Hunter Biden's 16-month-old child, alleged in a court filing that Hunter Biden is the subject of multiple criminal investigations. His lawyers called the accusation "a scheme by a non-party simply to make scandalous allegations in the pending suit to gain some quick media attention." Hunter Biden previously denied having had relations with Roberts, although the results of a court-ordered paternity test released in November confirmed he is the father. Joe Biden, 77, has so far refused to comment on the matter. Roberts, 28, previously worked as a stripper in Washington. Hunter Biden's role on the corporate board of Burisma, a Ukraine-based gas company, partially triggered the phone call that led to impeachment hearings against President Trump, who has alleged Joe Biden improperly pressured the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor who was investigating the company. Both Hunter Biden's father and mother have maintained that their son's position with Burisma, in which he earned north of $50,000 a month at times, was appropriate. “We knew it was going to be tough. Our family knew it was going to be tough,” Jill Biden said earlier this month. “But we never could have imagined that it would turn into, that Donald Trump would be asking a foreign government to get involved in our elections." Hunter Biden married the 33-year-old South African Melissa Cohen Biden in June of this year, getting engaged just six days after meeting. Before their marriage, Hunter Biden struggled for years with substance abuse issues. He first entered a rehabilitation facility in 2003 and later relapsed in 2010. Amid a divorce from his first wife, Kathleen, of 23 years, Hunter was accused in court documents of "spending extravagantly on his own interests (including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he has sexual relations)." The three children from that marriage, Naomi, 25, Finnegan, 19, and Maisy, 18, are featured in their grandfather's Christmas greetings. In 2014, Hunter Biden was dismissed from the Navy after testing positive for cocaine. Earlier this month, the Washington Examiner reported that he was first arrested for "possession of a controlled substance" in 1988. That charge was later expunged from his record. He has admitted to using cocaine as recently as 2016. Before his relationship with Cohen Biden, Hunter Biden was dating Hallie Biden, 44, the widow of his brother, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015 at age 46.
