And what is most fucked up about it, he's a true psychopath, he does it for the sport, the rush of getting away with it

He will continue to do this as he's done his entire life, leaving broken lives wherever he goes until someone finally stops him and puts him behind bars.

For all the talk about President Trump and Russia, there's also Trump and Ukraine, Trump and Turkey, Trump and Saudi Arabia, and likely elsewhere where the shadow of self-interest and corruption eclipses the clarity of our national interest.


SPOT ON, Dan. And yes it's worth clicking through for the comments.

That server probably evidences some of the most severe sell-outs in history!

What did they give him to move our embassy to Jerusalem?

Did he sell out for a measly licensing agreement for "Trump Heights?"

And I do hope that one day, someday, justice will prevail in a very legal sense. For tRUMP personally (as Eliz Warren said) tRUMP is Money Grubbing Grifter; and his crime family. No fines, no community service, no shutting down a foundation and moving on. Just some hard time. But, with the ace in the hole (ass) Pardon's I'm afraid might not make it all happen.

Always helps to keep in mind - where he can SNEAK.

And countries with a relatively low profile to most Americans - like Eastern Europe. Not necessarily high on the travel radar, like the more conventional European locations and Japan.

Where the law enforcement might be more lax especially for wealthy American wheeler-dealers looking to hide money and cut corners. Where you can be more of an outlaw and nobody cares that much since too many of ‘em are on the take, skirting the rules, and already corrupt as can be.

And he got not one but two of his three wives from that area, also.

This was just after the Khashoggi murder.

Anyone who knows the Trump-Russia case knows Trump's inaction on Khashoggi is tied to a 6-nation "grand bargain." More proof—Khashoggi was banned from Saudi TV, newspapers and conferences for criticizing the Saudi Crown Prince's involvement in the bargain: google.com/amp/s/www.inde…

2/ I can't underscore this enough: the Khashoggi case is a chapter in the Trump-Russia scandal. Reporters must understand that the Trumps' relationship with the Saudis is inextricably tied to its relationship with and expectations for the Russian government with respect to Iran.

3/ Trump and Kushner figured out early on—well before the 2016 election—that they could enrich themselves via both the Russians and the Saudis if they dropped sanctions on Russia in exchange for Russia giving the Saudis what they wanted: a curtailing of Russian support for Iran.

4/ I've said before and will say again that the Trump Jr. meeting reporters most need to focus on with respect to Russia didn't take place in June 2016 at Trump Tower but in August 2016 at Trump Tower and did not involve Russian agents but agents of Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Israel.
