Did Barr find those Ukrainian photos during his “manufacturing evidence tour” paid by hard earned tax dollars?

Truth be told, Trump is desperate to find something that he can fight AND dominate now - someone or something he can decry as enemy of the people because Biden is kicking his fat ass in the polls!

Sadly, in his quest, he cannot recognize that he - Trump - is the enemy of the people worldwide!

I am beginning to think that President Trump and his team do not have a firm commitment to fact-based arguments.

I mean, this sort of thing has happened more than once before, if my memory serves me correctly.

Just wait until he has snipers start firing into the crowds, use of imagery from 2014 is totally appropriate for what he’s trying to do.

Bannon probably pulled them from his files and passed them on.

By the way, is it me or is the Trump administration buying into a city/state mentality and reacting in that mode?

No, you misunderstand; Trump is using the pro-democracy demonstrations in Ukraine as the sort of thing he hates. Keerist, they are so stupid.

Your Daily Reminder: Trump has now spent more time defending Goya beans against consumer boycotts than he has defending US troops against Kremlin murder.

misleadingly featured an image of pro-democracy protests

the “pro-democracy protests” part is right, and in both cases they are egaging “Putin-aligned puppet security forces” so I’ll cut them a little slack…
