Belated thoughts (better late than never..)

The approach to Ukraine was a two pronged: trying to undermine Biden but also open the door for Giuliani and Sondland and the Trumps to enrich themselves an their buddies without an interference from an honest ambassador.

A second thought - OK in my wrapped mind but.. When Trump said that Yovanovitch would be “going through some things” my initial thought was that he was thinking of menopause, because we know how obsessed he is with women's blood. And because for many years too many men in the workforce tried to "justify" a woman's behavior by "the time of the month," "she must be pregnant" or "going through menopause." While men just lamented something that went wrong..

OK. take your shots..

Trump's remark was clearly a veiled threat. "Going through some things" obviously meant that she could lose her job and be subject to other harassment. Nothing to do with menopause, that's just bizarre.

It was a tough guy talking that he would deal with her. Straight up threat and intimidation that people best deal with him the way he wants.
