Josh spells it out again in a manner maybe even some magas can understand...

Greenman and pcgeek11 will never leave the stage at the end of the clip there, "they probably did something, or maybe they have a good reason, or maybe they shouldn't have done that thing".

Easily.

The Qatari bribe alone has no analog I'm pretty sure, both in terms of corruption and expense to the taxpayer. It's closer to theft than waste though.

His time spent cheating on the golf course is probably unrivaled by any other politician, and work ethic wise he's probably only rivaled by Taft. You know, the guy so fat he got stuck in bathtubs.

As well known not only is Trump a con man but (as expected) he cheats at everything including golf:


Yeah, he cheats. Like he breathes
This is the story I remember from years back.

"NFL announcer Mike Tirico says that he once played a round of golf with President Trump, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski.

Tirico, a 12.3 handicap, hit the 3-wood of his life on a par five. He had 230 yards into a blind green. Tirico's shot was heading directly for the pin.

However, when Tirico and his caddie arrived to the green, the ball was nowhere to be found. The ball was ultimately found 50 feet left of the pin, in a bunker

Tirico was shocked.

From golf.com:

“Lousy break,” Trump said to Tirico, who checked the marking on the ball to be sure it was his. It was. Befuddled, it took Tirico two swipes to escape the bunker on the way to a 7.

“Afterwards,” Tirico remembers, “Trump’s caddy came up to me and said, ‘You know that shot you hit on the par 5? It was about 10 feet from the hole. Trump threw it into the bunker. I watched him do it.’”

What did Tirico do? He laughed, shook his head, went inside, and paid Trump his money. When it comes to golf, Trump is the tornado and you are the trailer."

Lead article at The New York Times right now, reinforcing even more (approaching infinity) that Donald J. Trump is by monstrous proportions THEE most corrupt president in the history of the USA:

Trump Is Poised to Accept a Luxury 747 From Qatar for Use as Air Force One
The plan raises substantial ethical issues, given the value and that President Trump intends to take ownership of the plane after he leaves office.

Speaking of which. Looks like Air Force money for upgrading aging nuclear missile silos, is being siphoned off to make that plane actually useable for Air Force One.

A plane that will be used as AF1 for at most 2 years by the time they are done and we're going to blow $1B on it.

Brilliant fiscal decisions like this and borrowing more money for tax breaks for billionaires to blow up the debt even more is exactly what folks like greenjeans voted for.

But now you can Venmo to directly pay-off the national debt! What a stroke of genius, why have we not done this before?

Guys, Republicans really care about debt, deficits, and responsible spending.

LOL

Well, might as well get it upgraded for free, when you take it with you when you are no longer President. I'm thinking, he thinks he's going to die in office.

I hope he takes his entire administration for a ride on that plane and it loses power at maximum altitude and all the emergency doors get jammed. Stranger things have happened.

He cheats at golf like he cheats on his wives. He freed himself from the shackles of ethics and morals because it got in the way of satisfying his most immediate wants and needs. Why bother with rules when rules are only meant to handicap the suckers and losers he needs to lord over. He views himself as the exceptional one because in this way he can ignore whatever it is that prevents him from getting his way, including the Constitution and the Rule of Law. By way of example, he's also freed his followers from the very same rules that everyone else abides by.

As far as Trump is concerned, we're all suckers and losers because of it. Just imagine what his carefully cultured persona he now lives under would look like if he wasn't a spoiled rotten Trust Fund Baby who wasn't able to cheat and lie his way through life.

For Trump, cheating is just another tool he uses to form up the self-image he wants to project, exactly like how he lies his way through his days to persuade people to believe what he wants them to perceive himself as. It's his way to make up for his sub-human intellect, his total absence of self-respect in order to "level the playing field" for himself. And millions upon millions of those suckers he relies on obliged him into being one of if not the most corrupt politician in modern times we've ever had to suffer a presidential term through.

It's all smoke and mirrors to the point where his super hero alter-ego has become his reality, his primary defense against the real guy who is a failure as a human being and "businessman". He is in actuality nothing more than a pathetic loser looking for any advantage he can to be "The Big Winner" never mind that he has to criminalize himself to get where he is now.

Emil Bove, the DOJ guy who made the crooked quid pro quo deal with Adams, and wanted DOJ to ignore court orders has been confirmed to a lifetime appointment in the 3rd circuit. Republicans bending over backwards to support people of such low moral character. But I'm sure Greenman is delighted with his choices.

Also, the administration is pro-cancer. Vought is blocking (illegally) NIH awards.

People will start to get tired and quit the US even if this means a massive brain drain like Russia is suffering.
