If the Jackson Family loves Gary so much, they could save Roosevelt High School. They went to school there and have more than enough money to spare after what Michael earned and is still earning.
Ken Starr, who was just added to Trump’s legal team, was the special prosecutor who investigated the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky affair. He is a former president of Baylor University, and was forced to resign from Baylor after information surfaced of his failure to properly handle charges of sexual misconduct against a Baylor staffer. Seems like a good fit for Trump.
Lev Parnas is more trustworthy than Donald Trump or William Barr. I am thinking he decided to speak out now, because he didn’t want the same fate as Jeffrey Epstein.
Watched some of yesterday’s impeachment opening and could not stop laughing as I watched the Senators swear an oath to be impartial jurors. They are a great bunch of actors, being able to keep a straight face and not smirk and giggle as they swore the oath.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is proving himself to be a fully qualified member of the Trump “team.” Now he’s promising to investigate charges that Ukrainian ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was under surveillance in Ukraine and possibly in danger before Trump fired her. Well, not exactly “investigate” — Do “what we need to do,” though the reports are “probably wrong,” and we will discover “nothing.” This cover up is off to a good start.
“All is well,” and “so far so good,” Trump announced after the Iranian missile strikes on American locations in Iraq. And Trump and Secretary of Defense Esper both assured us that no American troops had been injured. Now more than two weeks later we learn that eleven service members were injured seriously enough to have to be evacuated. Either Trump and Esper did not know that troops had been injured, which it’s hard to believe, or they deliberately and brazenly lied to the American people. That’s not so hard to believe.
Trump insists that just because he appears in about a dozen photos with Lev Parnas and invited him to dinner at the White House that doesn’t mean he actually “knows” him. Apparently poor Lev is not a very memorable guy. Devin Nunes, who even gave Parnas his cell phone number, doesn’t remember him either.
The U.S. Attorney General should not be going after the president’s political opponents. He should not be traveling overseas, looking to settle the president’s personal scores. He should not be withholding evidence of the president’s criminal activity. He should not be picking and choosing what he wants released about investigations, depending on how it will make the president look.
The current GOP administration and its enablers in the Senate and the Congress are part of what appears to be a mafia-like criminal enterprise, whose heads demand cult-like subservience and loyalty. They are destroying the U.S. in many different ways. It has no right or moral authority to lecture the most corrupt third world countries in any way.
I sure hope the public servant takes a break from all the incredible research taking place in the Quickly column daily about the president. Getting out in front of fairytales about everything the president does not matter if it’s a fake news story or something so unrealistic a grade school kid reads right through it. It makes me wonder if this is a stable person. Dreaming of taking swings at ghosts with glass jaws doesn’t reek of a stable genius to me. My favorite one is when he claimed the president assassinated Qassem Soleimani, who is well known as the top terrorist in the world and who’s killed thousands of people including 600 Americans while the Iranian people celebrate his killing in the streets, burning posters with his face on them. Maybe they should change the name from Quickly to the funnies.
The Trump Crime Syndicate has more ties to organized crime than Al Capone ever did.
Trump’s standard line of defense — I don’t know him. Despite evidence showing otherwise.
The Secret Service would never have allowed Lev Parnas to be around President Trump for all of these photo-ops, if he was a random stranger.
