Brumar is an ass clown, he’s jealous of Trump and lacks any form of attention outside of what people give him here, hell of a way to spend his dotage.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what these Leftist MORONS SAY OR THINK ... They are a DYING BREED because they live off "UNSUSTAINABLE AND UNSUBSTANTIATED" MENTAL GARBAGE. One is really WASTING ONE'S TIME trying to engage in constructive dialogue. Any individual can only "Live A Lie" for so long, BUT they are determined to prove that ADAGE wrong. However, eventually those Mental Retards will just Fade Away into the vast Dustbin of History. But as they do so, they will nevertheless continue screeching, hurling abuse, indulging in "identity politics", etc, etc, ... because THAT'S ALL THAT THEY'VE GOT. THEY ARE A LOST CAUSE BECAUSE THEIR MINDS ARE SHUT TIGHT AND NOTHING, NOT EVEN BLATANT FACTS, CAN EVER PENETRATE THEM ....

Joe Biden wasn't alone in asking for the crooked prosecutor to be fired - the entire European community also wanted him fired and his firing was consistent with US policy at the time. The Ukrainian Rada Wanted Shokin Removed ? Viktor Shokin had much bigger issues than the corruption case against Mykola Zlochevsky. Almost immediately after he was appointed, he started to cause almost irreparable harm to Ukraine’s legal system. For starters, he failed to prosecute any prominent members of the Yanukovych regime or anybody in the current government. He constantly blocked reform to Ukraine’s broken legal system. He was in charge of implementing the 2014 law on prosecution which the European Union had asked Ukraine to do for years. The law aimed to reduce to role of prosecutors who “were absurdly superior to judges in the Soviet legal system that persisted in post-Soviet Ukraine” according to Atlantic Council. It also called for a reevaluation of all prosecutors in order to weed out the more corrupt and incompetent ones. Shokin manipulated the process so that the old system mostly remained the same and minimal, ineffective changes were implemented. He was the largest obstacle to judicial reform in Ukraine. It wasn’t just Joe Biden calling for his ouster, it was the United States government and the European Union. Steven Pifer, a career foreign service officer who was ambassador to Ukraine under President Bill Clinton, told Politifact that “”virtually everyone” he knew in the U.S. government and virtually all non-governmental experts on Ukraine “felt that Shokin was not doing his job and should be fired. As far as I can recall, they all concurred with the vice president telling Poroshenko that the U.S. government would not extend the $1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine until Shokin was removed from office.”” The European Union also called for him to be fired and celebrated his removal. “This decision creates an opportunity to make a fresh start in the prosecutor general’s office. I hope that the new prosecutor general will ensure that [his] office . . . becomes independent from political influence and pressure and enjoys public trust,” said Jan Tombinski, the EU’s envoy to Ukraine, in a statement at the time.
