Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

Felon & LIAR Donald Trump is a TRAITOR to the United States & all U.S. allies, including Ukraine. For years, Trump has acted in Putin's / Russia's interest instead of the interest of Americans & our loyal friends. Trump is a global pariah. The world will rejoice when Trump dies! Ditto re Putin!

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

Incompetence Leavened with Stupidity Best Explains Trump's first month. msn.com/en-us/news/o... There is a rule in politics never to ascribe to malignity what one can explain through incompetence and stupidity. This approach has become difficult to sustain in the case of the Trump administration.

I follow French politics a lot, as many of you know. Any effort for mass layoffs of public sector employees there would create such huge strikes and marches, the level of disruption and paralysis would be biblical.
