To be fair, Putin had his thumb on the scale in 2016.

Let's see how 2020 work out, shall we?

The Criminal in Chief should be indicted when he leaves office.

Here is the link for those who want to read the statement from former GOP and Democrat prosecutors.

Quote:
The Mueller report describes several acts that satisfy all of the elements for an obstruction charge: conduct that obstructed or attempted to obstruct the truth-finding process, as to which the evidence of corrupt intent and connection to pending proceedings is overwhelming.

Trump would have been charged with obstruction were he not president, hundreds of former federal prosecutors assert
Quote:
More than 370 former federal prosecutors who worked in Republican and Democratic administrations have signed on to a statement asserting special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s findings would have produced obstruction charges against President Trump — if not for the office he held.

The statement — signed by myriad former career government employees as well as high-profile political appointees — offers a rebuttal to Attorney General William P. Barr’s determination that the evidence Mueller uncovered was “not sufficient” to establish that Trump committed a crime.
Quote:
“We emphasize that these are not matters of close professional judgment,” they added. “Of course, there are potential defenses or arguments that could be raised in response to an indictment of the nature we describe here. . . . But, to look at these facts and say that a prosecutor could not probably sustain a conviction for obstruction of justice — the standard set out in Principles of Federal Prosecution — runs counter to logic and our experience.

Donald seems to lie about issues when it comes to Puerto Rico and helping them. Why?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ll/1117274001/

The dispute between Trump and congressional Democrats has delayed congressional approval of a $14 billion federal disaster relief bill that remains in limbo.
Because he has issues with a failed resort there
Trump has a long memory for people who criticize him
This article from Snopes is more fair to Trump than others might be
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/tr...o-golf-course/
But his company did take Puerto Rico’s money and didn’t provide the success for the golf resort it promised

Let’s see. Trump has officially told over 10,000 lies in office, divided by his time in office (835 days) equals 11.976 lies a day. So, basically Trump tells a lie just over every hour he’s awake. I’ll admit this, that takes some F’ed up talent.

He's basically told lies and half truths on par with just about every politician ever. The difference is that the media and others scrutinize every single word he speaks and they call him out on everything.

If you were to check places like politicfact.com you will see that AOC has as many "Pants on Fire" awards as Trump does...

Actually he has not since you are citing fake news(WAPo in this case) again, but the sheep continue to repeat it as fact.

Bahhhh...

You’re right though, it is fake news, he actually tells 23 lies a day, which is more than one a waking hour. Thanks for helping resolve that.

But on April 26, just 226 days later, the president crossed the 10,000 mark — an average of nearly 23 claims a day in this seven-month period, which included the many rallies he held before the midterm elections, the partial government shutdown over his promised border wall and the release of the special counsel’s report on Russian interference in the presidential election.

When you view something as evil, it adds justification to you being able to kill it in the name of your God. Just ask the Christians, Jihadists, Joan of Arc, etc how demonization works for ya.
