    This is probably just the tip of the iceberg:

    "we still don’t know the extent of the foreign payments that Donald Trump received.(…)

    James Comer and House Republicans buried further evidence of the Trump family’s staggering corruption."

    Of course he was. He hated the job, so why else would he want it back?

    Yes. We knew back then. This is all no surprise to anyone. But now what, there seems to be no consequences to anything the guy did or does. Short of divine intervention and a pop of his clogged heart he’ll be president again in the US’s last free elections for probably at least a generation.

      With the billions of people on the earth, it occasionally happens that more than one thing happens at a time. And sometimes there’s no agenda behind it.
