    On Thursday, the Justice Department moved to seize assets from a Ukrainian oligarch who was involved in the scandal that led to President Donald Trump’s impeachment — and who is now accused of laundering billions of dollars in stolen money from a bank he once owned.

    “A complaint filed by the Justice Department that seeks to seize commercial properties in Texas and Kentucky from Ihor Kolomoisky and his business partner, Gennadiy Boholiubov, alleges that the pair moved billions through various companies to ‘thoroughly disguise their nature, source, ownership, and control.” 

    Kolomoisky was involved with Rudy Giuliani’s plan to dig up dirt on the Biden family’s business transactions in Ukraine, which ultimately led to Trump trying to coerce the Ukrainian president with military aid. Giuliani had asked him for assistance, but he reportedly refused and called it a "clear conspiracy" against Trump’s political rival.

    Trump retribution for not playing nicely with Rudy in the sewer.

    What party is in charge in FLORIDA that sets the policy as to how deaths are to be reported officially?

    Obviously they must be DEMOCRATS

    The embarrassment that is Jerry Falwell Jr has been asked to take an indefinite leave of absence from Liberty University. Pool Boy has been summoned to console him.

    The Lord works in mysterious ways.

    When asked about the situation. Falwell said he's not at Liberty to say.

    A man will spend the rest of his life in prison for stealing hedge clippers after the Louisiana Supreme Court denied his request to have his sentence overturned last week.

    This guy is an habitual thief and has spent 23 of his 57 years in prison costing the state of Louisiana taxpayers 500k. I would think they have a formula to tally the cost. If he lives another 20 years, he'll cost taxpayers almost a million. 

    Now maybe just maybe, if we took 100k to rehabilitate this thief, he would have changed his ways. Other than his armed robbery in 1979, most of his crimes have been petty thefts like the hedge clippers.

    And maybe he's just not going to change because staling is in his soul but it still looks like a better use of taxpayers dough to me.

    Drug rehabilitation. Anybody stealing hedge clippers is a drug addict.

    Trailing in election polls, Trump breaks a promise by reimposing higher tariff on Canadian aluminum.  This absurd and unnecessary move could backfire by hurting Americans more according to Peterson institute.  US industry doesn't have enough aluminum for manufacturing and imports 60% from Canada.  There is no national security justification for these tariffs.  Canada intends to retaliate with counter tariffs.  Trump forgets that Canada buys more from the US than any other country in the world.  Even Trump allies such as Wall street journal criticizes Trump trade policy.  US chamber of commerce says this is a bad time to restart a trade war in a recession.

    Trump says 160K deaths is a credit to the US response, without which 10 times that many would have died.

    This sounds like Jets head coach Adam Gase saying "Yeah, we lost by 40 but without my coaching it could have been a hundred."

    I don't see anyone stepping up to take credit but this clown.

    Dentist warns that too much mask wearing will bring on mask mouth! 

    The symptoms of mask mouth are cavities, decaying teeth and dangerous halitosis!

    The article is on the front page of The Gateway Pundit.

    President Trump: “We’re looking very seriously at a capital gains tax cut."

    Millions are out of work.

    Millions can't afford their rent or mortgages.

    Schools don't have enough resources to keep our kids safe.

    There's still not enough testing or reduction of time for test results.

    And this POS priority is to help the top 1%.

    And for perspective, this update illustrate trump's woeful performance:

    Here are 4 nations located in very close proximity to CHINA
    who each got their first case on or about the same day as USA.
    All of these are KNOWN for widespread "mask-wearing"

    Taiwan death toll                                 = 7      (0.3 per million)
    Hong Kong death toll                        = 77       (7 per million)
    S. Korean death toll                        = 305       (6 per million)
    Japan death toll                            = 1,047      (8 per million)

    Trump-enabled carnage =  163,465   (502 per million)
