All about the fear.

"I will never allow these politicians to steal your health care and give it to illegal aliens"

That's a bit like standing on a beach in Miami and loudly proclaiming: "I will never allow those Finnish rascals to invade and conquer our beach!"

Trump raised Biden with Xi in June call housed in highly secure server

During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.

The White House record of that call was later stored in the highly secured electronic system used to house a now-infamous phone call with Ukraine's President and which helped spark a whistleblower complaint that's led Democrats to open an impeachment inquiry into Trump.

On Thursday, Trump told reporters at the White House he'd consider asking his counterpart in Beijing to investigate the Bidens, adding to a growing list of foreign leaders he's tried to enlist in his attempts to bring down a potential Democratic challenger.

"It's certainly something we can start thinking about," Trump said when questioned whether he would seek the help of Xi in investigating Biden. "Because I'm sure that President Xi does not like being under that kind of scrutiny."

One Trump ally outside the White House described receiving a message from Chinese government officials asking if Trump was serious when he suggested China open an investigation into Biden. The response: investigating corruption is an easy way to earn goodwill with Trump.

Impeachable conduct galore likely resides on that server storing the calls.

First you start a trade war and then you publicly ask for illegal help from the people with whom you started the trade war. Is Dari really Trump?

Just remember- soliciting campaign dirt from foreign countries is perfectly normal & acceptable if you ask enough of them. Doing it once is illegal while doing it repeatedly changes the paradigm.

At first I thought perhaps Russia told him to do the China thing to try and get heat off of their involvement in the Ukraine shit. I shouldn't have underestimated the stupidity of DJ Turmp, watch him make that record skip!

Which I guess we found a new defense for Turmp's unwanted advances, he's apparently scared shitless of Biden. They need to put out a medical alert. "Do you suffer from BPABD? Biden's Pussy Ass Bitch Disorder, is a rare and serious acute disease. Symptoms include committing high crimes, potential treason, shrinking hands, orange skin hue, Big Mac cravings, and uncontrollable angry Twitter posting based on conspiracy theories."

The proto- conspiracy theory about Crowdstrike, Ukrainian servers & how they supposedly helped crooked Hillary in some way is perfectly nebulous. It's certainly no counter to the obvious & documented efforts by the Russians on Trump's behalf.

He’s super concerned about corruption it just so happens that all the corrupt people happen to be his political rivals.

I’m sure he was as surprised as anyone.

It's a classic Nazi propaganda technique- Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.
