"Once again, the president is using aid to extort re-election help.

Last December, during a congressional hearing on impeachment, the Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan tried to explain the gravity of Donald Trump’s Ukraine quid pro quo by making a domestic analogy.

Members of Congress, she said, should imagine living in a state “prone to devastating hurricanes and flooding.” What would they think, she asked, if their governor requested a meeting with the president to talk about disaster assistance, and he replied, “I would like you to do us a favor”?

Karlan seemed to assume that the grotesquerie of this hypothetical would be obvious. Now, with American life upended by coronavirus, her flagrantly corrupt scenario has come close to reality.

True, Trump is not demanding that governors investigate Joe Biden in exchange for federal help. But he’s strongly suggested that if governors speak candidly about his monumental incompetence, he’ll penalize them and their states as they struggle to contain the coronavirus. Once again, he’s using his control of vital aid to extort assistance with his re-election."

Breaking News: Trump's a f*ckhead.

There'll be at least 3 months of ads exposing him for this and everything else. I don't think those in red states are going to be happy about the job he has done to date in another few weeks.

This is what I'm talking about G. This radio host from NY is a major Trump supporter and contributor. Or should I say was. He's pissed G and he's only going to get madder. I believe he's going to open the eyes of many other Trump supports.

Here's Mike Francesa on Monday having a go at ripping President Donald Trump for him not taking the global Coronavirus Pandemic, that has killed many in NYC, seriously based on his press conferences, statements, & his lack of actions trying to combat it.
