List of potential Trump stories that wouldn’t “fly under the radar:”
- Trump beats child to death in public then eats her brains on national TV.
- Trump orders nuclear strike on major U.S. city. (A city in another country or even a small town in the U.S. would still likely "fly under the radar.)
- Trump sets fire to White House and gloats while watching it burn to the ground.
That’s all I can think of. Anything else is just Trump being Trump so, nothing to see here folks.
Oh, and the Senate would still maintain that Trump did nothing impeachable is he did any of the above.

Asshole bastard Bolton. Where was he during impeachment?

As we learned during the Mueller probe, motivation is key when it comes to obstruction of justice: Why did the President do what he did?
“Russia if your listening…”
A Trump confession on National TV was not enough for Mueller. If there were pictures of Erdogan stuffing $100 bills into Fat Donnie’s g-string as he spun around a stripper pole, it would likely fall just shy of intent.
Have the police gunned down a person of color yet today for the offence of owning and driving a car? Oh it’s only 2:18.

I can’t help but wonder if that shiny fact deflecting teflon coating on Jared is as poisonous as the EPA says it is.

In other news related to big “corruption” stories, Glenn Greenwald has resigned from The Intercept because they wouldn’t publish his take on the Hunter Biden nothingburger.
I’m sure many of you will be outraged at the brazen act of censorship against this brave reporter.
For my part, I am heartbroken that I’ll have to go to Substack to read him and Matt Taibbi.

Point 1: Fuck Bolton, that money grubbing treacherous enabler. @gregor
Point 2: Just caught this:
Matt Shuham (@mattshuham) is a reporter in TPM’s New York office covering corruption, extremism and other beats.
When’s the poor guy ever get to sleep under this administration?

What is left out of this report is a glaring omission: Trump abandoning the Kurds to Turkish Forces on the demand of Erdoğan.
This was done after Erdoğan threatened to expose Trump if he would not abandon the Kurds, and soon after Flynn PLEAD GUILTY to the charges against him (thus exposing Erdoğan and Halkbank, which is widely suspected to be his private slush fund.) Remember, Flynn plead GUILTY to acting as an Erdoğan unregistered FOREIGN AGENT for TURKEY while he was the National Security Advisor for Trump. He also plead GUILTY to LYING ABOUT IT to the Vice President Mike Pence (to cover Pence’s involvement) and to participating in a plot to Kidnap a Turkish dissident and turn him over to the Turkish secret police for CASH.
Now you know why Trump pressured the DOJ to “go easy” on Flynn and demanded the DOJ drop all charges against him. Flynn has the goods on Trump vis-a-vis Turkey and Erdoğan does not want him to sing to the Feds.
Trump, as he always does, rolled over on his back and surrendered to Erdoğan’s demands with a wimper and immediately ABANDONED the Kurds, who had been our allies in Iraq for 30 years.
In a desperation move, the now powerless Kurds had to acquiesce to Erdoğan’s demands and withdraw all their forces and in one case even ally with their hated enemies in ISIL just to survive.
There is a HUGE STORY here, and nobody in the press was willing to touch it until now, when it seems that the Orange ShitGibbon is going to LOSE THE ELECTION.
I expect everyone from Bill Barr on down will be scrambling to cover their asses the moment on Nov. 4th when Biden is declared the winner of the election, as Trump, too petty and vindictive to even help himself, will refuse to pardon ANYBODY until he is pardoned by Pence after resigning in late December.

Like a predictable crime movie, the Dons grant favors in expectation of return tribute. Erdogan and Dipshit; two peas in a pod, the latter wanting to protect his business interests in Turkey. The former to further his machiavellian master plan. I’m surprised Dipshit didn’t also offer up Gul.

Wonder why Barr hasn’t arrested the entire NYT staff for attempting to influence the election.

I think Trump’s “saving grace” is that he’s a known fabulist, so no one can accept anything he says with any confidence. Sure, he might blab some foreign actor’s secrets, but it’s just as likely he’ll gibber about completely ridiculous nonsense (and they may even purposefully fill his head with bad anecdotes just to put up a smokescreen).

The Justice Department’s current policy against indicting Presidents [only applies] when they’re in office.
Key takeaway - it’s just a policy. It’s not a law. It’s not a regulation. It’s on a par with the rules for who has to clean the break room coffee pot every day. It could be changed with a click on a “send” icon.

ETTD! Multiple officials in the crosshairs.
Any supreme court justice that supports Trump’s self pardon should be immediately investigated for impeachment and potential indictment. Let’s follow the money everywhere. Time for a major house cleaning.

Trump sells-out U.S. interests for personal gain. Is there anything new or unique about this story?
If we look at anything Trump has done, anywhere during his presidency, this is very probably what we will ultimately find. Trump is, after all, a one-trick pony, and has repeatedly proven this to be true.
