Liveblog: Unchecked Trump Has Asked Putin For Political Dirt Again | Talking Points Memo

Folks, it’s a pattern: Unchastened by the impeachment hearing against him for demanding domestic political dirt from foreign heads of state, Donald Trump did it again Tuesday, pressing Vladimir Putin for material on Hunter Biden in the middle of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://talkingpointsmemo.com/?p=1411142

Why is this happening again?

I will go with: We are dealing with a fucktarded orange shitgibbon. It’s what he does.

!!Well, the former guy survived 2 (TWO) impeachments for this, and hasn’t been even indicted yet, so why not? The media – and his base – just love his antics. Encore! Encore!

I see a, perhaps only metaphorical, Cody Jarrett termination to all of this.

Said this elsewhere. This is Fuckface’s response to Biden not granting Baby Doll and her boy Kushy executive privilege.

Of course he did. Trump is above the law now. He’s teflon as are most if not all of his inner circle of fraudsters. He’s emboldened because he’s escaped justice and his crimes will become more brazen as he continues to thumb his nose at Justice.

I’m sure Putin has the time and resources to help the TFG. /s

I think too much thought has already been put into this nonsense.

Maybe we should look at the Palm Beach deal where TMFWWNBN sold a mansion in 2008 to Dmitry Rybolovlev for $95M, twice what he paid for it? Who has since torn it down, sold two parcels for $71M, and has the third for sale at $42M? So after carrying costs, maintenance and property taxes, made a loss? Now why would you do that? Dmitry since been detained for influence peddling.

And of course, 666 5th Ave bailout for KenDoll’s family, saving them from certain bankruptcy following the worst deal in real estate history.

Maybe Trump has never given up on Trump Tower Moscow, with the free penthouse for Putin.

My question about Trump’s lies is why the heck is TPM amplifying Trump’s lies?

All this does, reporting on Trump pulling sh*t out his arse is increase the smell to those who like the smell. It in no way hurts Trump with those who do not like the smell of Trump.

The only relevant information, truthful is perhaps a better word, is that Trump once again asked for Russian dictator and war criminal to interfere illegally in USA elections.

But that is hardly new. Rather, the only new information in this story are Trump’s actual lies and I fail to see how amplifying those lies helps anyone but Trump.

Donald, no need to let you imagination run wild. You could better distract the media from those missing phone call records etc. by weighing in on Will Smith’s Slap Heard Round the World.

The following is a link to Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson’s next fantastical scheme:

Can we note for the record that CBS hired thoroughly dishonest, dirty and discredited Trump enabler Mick Mulvaney as political commentator just as treasonous Trump asked warmonger Putin for a political favor? This juxtaposition nicely illustrates our media’s ongoing commitment to the normalizing of fascist corruption.

Because it’s pretty stunning that a former president is asking a country we’re currently beefing with to provide him dirt on the son of the current president. Also, his political party is trying to appear tough on Russia, and it really hurts their ridiculous argument that “Russia never would’ve invaded Ukraine if Trump was still in office,” when Trump is out there asking a blood thirsty dictator for help.
