Who really believes that Ukraine is the only victim of extortion?

[panader0]

Trump sits back and thinks, "So many countries. So many opportunities
to twist some arms."
We know he did it in Ukraine. I'll bet my next SS check he did it
elsewhere as well.

1. I agree 100%.

I wonder if we'll ever find out about every one of his dirty deals.

2. Just one example:

3. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have quid pro quo's,

with every country, other than our allies.

4. Didn't Mulvaney say say words to the effect this is standard procedure?

.....Just before he said to get over it. I know it is hard to believe anything they say.

5. I'm pretty sure there are others...nt

[CincyDem]

6. This is why he wants out of multilateral agreements.

Bilateral agreements are much more conducive to extortion.

7. I hadn't gone there

but yes, of course, you are correct.
Groaning with the sense of doom.
I may need a news diet.

8. There are other victims of trump's extortion

We are fortunate that we have whistle blower for the Ukraine story

[Johonny]

9. Hill would not answer the question

So I assume it was yes. But for national security reasons she didn't answer it.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. I agree

Hard to believe that Ukraine is it. There is probably so much more skullduggery in general going on in Trumpworld that we have yet to hear about.

11. they're (trump/russia) coordinating with linmbaugh so maybe

a search of those limbo transcripts (iheart does his transcripts too) might show mentions of lebanon out of the blue, for instance

it has been noted that trump made extortion call a few days after the mueller report came out

the day after the mueller report came out trump played golf with limbo to intimidate gop senators but maybe limbo started talking more about ukraine right then

so yes - mueller report release was april 19, they golfed the next day and the ukraine call was a few days later i think - and on 30th here's blimpo: was he just following other media coming out then on

Yeah, you knew it. You had forgotten it, because it's never reported. No, hang on, before you go crazy out there, folks. Joe Biden's son, Hunter, "was kicked out of the Navy for failing a cocaine drug test; then he divorced his wife, the mother of their three daughters, after a yearlong affair to marry his brother's widow. Over the course of the divorce, Biden's son drained hundreds of thousands of dollars from the couple's assets by spending extravagantly on his own interests, including drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs, and gifts for women with whom he had sexual relations while leaving the family with no money to pay legitimate bills."

Actually, worse than that. By the way, I have news links for every one of these stories. This one is Delaware Online. Now, all of this is on top of the billions of dollars Joe Biden dubiously arranged from the Ukraine. There is a huge financial scandal. Biden's up to his neck in Ukrainian scandals, not Trump, and it puts Manafort to shame. Biden has a daughter who has been arrested several times on drug charges. "While he was vice president, she was videotaped snorting cocaine, but the news media decided not to publish the video.

"She hid out in her Delaware home for a week or so until things calmed down." Now, look, I know, folks. "We're supposed to leave the kids out of it," right? I understand all of this. We're not supposed to talk about Hillary Clinton, but we can talk about the Bush daughters (Chelsea Clinton, I'm sorry), and we can smear the Trump kids all day long. That's the point that I want to make. All of God's children have problems. I'm the first to admit it and understand. I'm not climbing on the children now. I'm talking about the media.

12. Cmon peoples.. CHINA is right out there in the open.....

Hunter is also linked to chinese companies. Trump has been dragging out a disasterous trade fight complete with crippling tarrifs, and even the princess has been mining gold there.

Trump has a lot he can give china. Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the south china sea have long been their holy grails. Trump could (and is) just walking away from our committments there, including south korea troop levels.

It is SO FRIGGIN obvious. Why nobody is digging there is beyond me. I guess he just has better henchment there.

13. $100 million in aid to Lebanon is currently being withheld

Trump is taking multiple approaches for his quid pro quo graft.

[DallasNE]

14. Elsewhere On The Page

Is an article about a hold on $100 million in aid to Lebanon.

15. Me

Ukraine is the only country that has Russian troops firing at their troops

Russian occupation of Crimea is the sole cause of economic sanctions on Russia.

The sanctions have reduced per capita GDP by 30%

As Pelosi said all roads lead to Russia.
