    I can't wait until Trump and his kids are all caught for their corruption and put behind bars.

    Because Azadre was too 2000s. And Ubiquitin is ubiquitous.

    Why did you pick Nick. Your name isn’t even Nick. It’s Tony Macaroni.

    Oh my username, it's just short for nicodemia diversifolia, because I too am a beautiful shrub native to Madagascar, no big deal.

    If you struck out corrupt, I would probably agree with the statement. I think Obama's gonna end up winning that honor now that it's obvious he abused his power to surveil journalists, made an illegal Iran deal - sealed secret from congress, used the IRS against conservatives, provided guns to the cartels, and spied on an incoming president and deliberately worked to undermine after elected. It's ironic because I can't think of one instance where Trump as done any of those things. He asked for an investigation into Burisma, which he really had the right to ask for. He actually had a duty to do so.

    Maybe Durham will come up empty and there will be nothing to see. In that case I might be wrong. But it's looking more and more that way. We already know the Flynn scandal is real and that Russia Hoax was not.

    All of this is old news not worth arguing over until history plays out and someone can claim they are right. ie: I'll reserve my judgement.

    We will see...... and sometimes it is years later before we find out how corrupt an administration really was. The only administration that has been fairly clean in my life time was the Carter administration and he wasn't a successful President. At this point I will stand by my position that the Trump administration is the most corrupt in recent history, but am open to change my mind.

    In 2018, Bongino said of himself, "My entire life right now is about owning the libs. That's it."

    Carter is widely accepted as being an unsuccessful president but looking back (I was maybe 10yrs old) he didn't start a war or have any shady dealings that we know of. I recall inflation and the Iran Hostage situation being the earmark of his presidency. Put Ford in his place and would he have done better? I don't know. Ford would have the support of the CIA and intelligence community. Carter didn't. I'm not saying Carter was good or anything, just pondering whether or not he was as bad as what's been sold to us. By most accounts he was a good person but that doesn't translate into leadership.

    John Brennan didn't vote for Carter or Ford in '76. He voted for the communist candidate. He's quoted as saying he was surprised he got into the CIA because he had to answer the questions truthfully, which he did (allegedly). How does communist make his way to Director of the CIA? That's disturbing to me.

    What's been pretty apparent is that presidents who were considered 'outsiders' were all undermined by the DC establishment. Politics is a nasty game. I never understand how someone could WANT to be president. It doesn't sound like a very chill life at all. I get the sense of duty. But man, it comes at a cost. I think being in the senate is where it's at. The folks make $$$ and have less scrutiny. Need term limits. 12 yrs is enough, IMO. I'd definitely be happy with 8yr.

    A proven corrupt liar gives you a boner? Try this on for size. Posted on Facebook and Facebook has done nothing about it. Not yet, according to the BBC.

    This is trump's very dishonest Facebook ad:

    [​IMG]


    The image of the police being "attacked" is from the 2014 revolution in Ukraine. Want proof? Here is the image. You support a liar.
    From the BBC:


    [​IMG]

    A post by Donald Trump's official Facebook account purports to show violence in the US but is in fact of an event in another country.

    The advert shows one image of Mr Trump in a calm setting talking to police officers beside another of a security official being surrounded by protesters, saying: "Public safety vs chaos and violence".

    However, the image is a photo from a pro-democracy protest in Ukraine in 2014.

    Facebook have told the BBC they won't be taking any action against the post but gave no further comment.

    What does the ad show?

    The post reads "Evangelicals For Trump are ready to help re-elect President Donald J Trump."

    On the image on the right, the officer is wearing a badge on his shoulder.

    However, it is an insignia not recognizable as one US police wear - it's a Coptic cross seen in countries which practice Orthodox Christianity.

    Using a reverse image search shows that the image is actually from Ukraine and was first posted in 2014, during the revolution that overthrew the government.

    The security official pictured is in fact not a US police officer. That badge was worn by members of the "Internal Troops of Ukraine", a now disbanded section of the national military that also assisted with policing.

    The image is also on the Wikipedia page about the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, and says it shows events in February 2014 when security officials clashed with anti-government protesters.

    The old photo in the advert was picked up by a former Hillary Clinton staffer Jesse Lehrich in tweet that has been widely shared.

    Who's seen it?

    President Trump's Facebook page has more than 30 million followers.

    The imagery appears to have been made by campaign group "Evangelicals for Trump" and has mostly reached users in Florida and Texas who are older than 55, according to Facebook's estimates.

    Social media companies Facebook and Twitter have taken steps in recent months to label posts by public officials.

    Facebook has begun labeling posts on the pages of both the president and Joe Biden - the Democratic Party's nominee for president in November's election - with links to official information.

    We have asked Mr Trump's campaign team for a response.

    Wow, to me Trump makes Obama look like Einstein and the Pope rolled into one. Obama stand head above shoulders over Trump as a President, father, husband, and decent man. I wouldn't trust Trump's word about anything period. I'm sure all his ex wives probably learned that as well, and his current wife must really love money a lot more than love.
