TDS

The more I read the more I have to rebuke.

1. Obama's birth certificate is a fraud.
His real father is Frank Marshall Davis.

2. They weren't dancing Muslims, Trump lied.
They were dancing Israelis, and they were picked up in a van marked 'Urban Moving Systems'.

3. Trump’s phone conversation with the Ukrainian President is a nothing-burger. Democrats are throwing conniptions because Trumps looking for the pay-to-play server.

4. Questions should be asked about Hunter Biden especially when the US ran the coup on Ukraine and iconducted the Ukrainian regime change.
- Maybe you should pay attention to the Nuland-Pyatt phone call and her admission in her 'Ukraine in Washington' speech of 2013 that the US spend 5 billion to subvert Ukraine.

"Hunter Biden is being used as mud to smear Joe Biden with."

So what? It's nepotism, and just out of interest Pelosi's boy also has an interest in Ukrainian energy.

"If the internet makes the spreading of lies easy, when it is combined with a celebrity culture..."

No you got that wrong. replace 'internet' with 'corporate media'.
They're the ones spreading the lies and selling false narratives.

"Given Trump’s unremitting narcissism, he will relish impeachment proceedings."

Now you're selling bias and conjecture, demonstrating TDS.

"Trump also sadly reminds us of the enduring tendency of many people to side with the bully."

It's those against him, that never supported democracy who've been bent out of shape since before Day 1 who are the unrelenting bullies, do you think the world doesn't see it? They do.

- You're just on the side that gets by feeding bs to useless idiots.

"It will ultimately take a hard swing in public opinion"

That's right, and you're doing your best to help, and that's all this article is really about.

I'm the resident conspiracy theorist around here, I find your statements discriminatory and offensive.
Not only that you should do some fact checking.

Why put this crap to print without checking what you're writing first?
- Guaranteed that others will and call you out on your poor knowledge of facts.

It's just spoiled Gits arguing with spoiled Gits !

Graham this article is way below the standard we expect in OLO.

The trouble for the republicans here is, their ongoing and robust support for this compromised pollie? Is likely to see the republican bus driven into a ditch come election time?

Donald Trump seems to be in the first flush of dementia? Given the conspiracy theories and his inability to look at evidence contrary to his opinions and belief?

And indicative!?

There could be another explanation? Say, insanity?
Or a puppet pollie whose strings are pulled by Putin?

The Russian Mafia has a unique way of collecting on debt!
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, a wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse!

In Uncle Donald's own words...

"There's very fine people on both sides". :-))

And with a touch of salt to the wounds of Democrats, the good uncle is the best of friends with Americas wealthiest Capitalist, Stephen Schwarzman.
With friends like Schwarzman, there are no real enemies!

Hey Alan B,

Re: Russian Mafia.

"Despite his alignment with the racist right, Trump has professed ultra-right views on Israel. His connections with Israel also extend to his broad ties with the Russian mafia, many of whom hold dual citizenship in Israel. The Russian mafia is closely associated with Chabad-Lubavitch, a Hasidic movement that derived originally from Sabbateanism. The Zohar and the Kabbalah of Rabbi Isaac Luria, are frequently cited in Chabad works. Although the Chabad Lubavitcher movement is often listed as a part of Orthodox Judaism, it has often been condemned as heretical by traditional Jews. Rabbi David Berger, a highly popular figure in Modern Orthodox circles, wrote The Rebbe, the Messiah, and the Scandal of Orthodox Indifference, criticizing Lubavitcher messianism as “precisely what Jews through the generations have seen as classic, Christian-style false messianism.” His views are shared and supported by many prominent Orthodox authorities. In the 1980’s and early 1990's, Rabbi Eliezer Menachem Schach, a leader of the strictly Orthodox Jews in Israel who wielded powerful influence over the country’s politics for more than two decades, waged a campaign against the Lubavitcher movement. The messianic claim, Rabbi Schach said, was “total heresy,” adding that those making it “will burn in hell."

Ex-general likens Israel to Nazi Germany
http://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20191004-ex-general-likens-israel-to-nazi-germany/
In an interview with Radio Darom, the newly elected member of the Knesset, representing the Democratic Union alliance, said: “I’m reminding people that the Nazis came to power democratically, so we have to be careful, very careful, so that extremist figures with a messianic view won’t exploit Israeli democracy to replace the system of government.”

Keyword: Messianic.

Yes, Armchair, point taken/well made and it has a lookalike SS army as well and a right-wing PM who refuses to step down as his only defence against alleged corruption. Makes one want to click heels and say seig heil, doesn't it?

As for Unca Donald? There's an old saying, where there's smoke? There's fire! And he's really really upset with this inquiry into his use of public office!?

Unca Donald seems to think what he does with his family as nepotism, is an exclusive privilege for the Trump's and his Israeli son in law? And not Hunter?

Hey Alan B,
I'll also take your point re Trumps own nepotism.
I think the Trump Presidency has just as much to do with Jared Kushner as Senior Advisor to the President than it does about Trump himself being President.

But in regards to the current Ukraine scandal;
- It has more to do with those trying to stop Trump getting info on that pay-to-play server and those behind it, than it does about favours.

Jared Kushner's dad was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering.
