It’s impossible to give the Trump administration the benefit of the doubt



When previous administrations took controversial steps, there was a general assumption, even among critics, that they were acting in what they believed to be the public interest. When this administration makes contentious decisions — such as awarding a $10 billion Pentagon contract to Microsoft instead of Amazon, or probing the origins of an investigation into Russia’s attack on the 2016 election — the presumption of goodwill has been replaced by a presumption of ill will and illegality.

If that sounds harsh, you haven’t been paying attention. Trump’s relations with Ukraine show how he operates. There is now overwhelming evidence — not least from the president’s own mouth — that he held up military aid to Ukraine and a meeting with Ukraine’s president over a demand that Ukraine manufacture dirt on former vice president Joe Biden and information clearing Russia of 2016 hacking. This would be not just an impeachable offense but, as Philip Zelikow of the University of Virginia argues, an attempt to solicit a bribe in violation of federal law. But wait — there’s a second layer of corruption too! Trump delegated Ukraine policy to his personal lawyer, Rudolph Giuliani, who was trying to drum up business in Ukraine with two shady characters who have now been arrested. Giuliani’s own business practices are under investigation by federal prosecutors.

This seaminess is entirely in character for a president who was surrounded by felons (his previous personal attorney, his first national security adviser and his former campaign chairman); lied about his payments to an alleged mistress in apparent violation of campaign finance laws; engaged in pervasive obstruction of justice to stymie an investigation into his campaign links with Russia; continues to do business as a property manager and developer around the world; lies 22 times a day; and even falsified a weather map to show that he was right about a hurricane.

[Butterflylady]

2. Well

He said he grabs them, maybe that's the one that got away.

[Cattledog]

3. Is that a scar under his chin?

When you zoom in it sure looks like one.

[Demovictory9]

4. it does look like scar

[Quackers]

12. No. Just another fold line from the next chin down. nt

5. Textbook neck-gina

to accompany a litany of textbook corruption. His corrupt regime belongs in prison - one & all, family & friends.

6. look turkey to me

A wattle is a fleshy caruncle hanging from various parts of the head or neck in several groups of birds and mammals. A caruncle is defined as 'A small, fleshy excrescence that is a normal part of an animal's anatomy'.[1] Within this definition, caruncles in birds include those found on the face, wattles, dewlaps, snoods and earlobes. Wattles are generally paired structures but may occur as a single structure when it is sometimes known as a dewlap. Wattles are frequently organs of sexual dimorphism. In some birds, caruncles are erectile tissue and may or may not have a feather covering.[1][2]

Wattles are often such a striking morphological characteristic of animals that it features in their common name. For example, the southern and northern cassowary are known as the double-wattled and single-wattled cassowary respectively and there is a breed of domestic pig known as the red wattle.

8. "...manufacture dirt on former vice president Joe Biden". WP saying it correctly. Good job! nt

[Hermit-The-Prog]

11. not quite -- he wanted what's called "black propaganda"

He wanted Ukraine to -announce- an investigation to taint Biden's run without the public knowing -why- an investigation was announced.

That's manufacturing ongoing ill will without an easy way to find out its basis. By the time it could be traced back to Trump, the election could be over.

[chowder66]

13. It's better than saying digging for dirt or digging up dirt as if there was any in the first place

and using something like black propaganda is going to go over the heads of regular people.

9. Good gravy!

He looks dead!

[Grammy23]

10. How does he even breathe with that collar and necktie digging

into his flesh/flab? And what happened to his eyelashes? Did he yank them out one day in a fit of rage?

That expression is so cold and frightening. He is dead inside. Cold as ice. I hope before he dies he has to face who he is.

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. Yet he calls Schiff "pencil neck"

Because he wears shirts that fit comfortably instead of cutting off his circulation.

[Skittles]

15. if anyone has a pencil neck it is Ivanka

she looks like a friggin' Pez Dispenser

16. The real pencil neck is Tom Cotton:
