Since Trump’s election as president, his ties to Russia have become the focus of intense scrutiny, most of which has centered on whether his inner circle colluded with Russia to subvert the U.S. election. A growing chorus in Congress is also asking pointed questions about how the president built his business empire. Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, has called for a deeper inquiry into “Russian investment in Trump’s businesses and properties.”

The very nature of Trump’s businesses—all of which are privately held, with few reporting requirements—makes it difficult to root out the truth about his financial deals. And the world of Russian oligarchs and organized crime, by design, is shadowy and labyrinthine. For the past three decades, state and federal investigators, as well as some of America’s best investigative journalists, have sifted through mountains of real estate records, tax filings, civil lawsuits, criminal cases, and FBI and Interpol reports, unearthing ties between Trump and Russian mobsters like Mogilevich. To date, no one has documented that Trump was even aware of any suspicious entanglements in his far-flung businesses, let alone that he was directly compromised by the Russian mafia or the corrupt oligarchs who are closely allied with the Kremlin. So far, when it comes to Trump’s ties to Russia, there is no smoking gun.

But even without an investigation by Congress or a special prosecutor, there is much we already know about the president’s debt to Russia. A review of the public record reveals a clear and disturbing pattern: Trump owes much of his business success, and by extension his presidency, to a flow of highly suspicious money from Russia. Over the past three decades, at least 13 people with known or alleged links to Russian mobsters or oligarchs have owned, lived in, and even run criminal activities out of Trump Tower and other Trump properties. Many used his apartments and casinos to launder untold millions in dirty money. Some ran a worldwide high-stakes gambling ring out of Trump Tower—in a unit directly below one owned by Trump. Others provided Trump with lucrative branding deals that required no investment on his part. Taken together, the flow of money from Russia provided Trump with a crucial infusion of financing that helped rescue his empire from ruin, burnish his image, and launch his career in television and politics. “They saved his bacon,” says Kenneth McCallion, a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Reagan administration who investigated ties between organized crime and Trump’s developments in the 1980s.

I honestly don’t revel in the fact that healthcare reform failed, mostly because it was never likely to pass to begin with given how diverse the views of healthcare are in the GOP, but I do relish the fact that Trump was hosting a dinner Monday night with GOP senators who were already on board with the plan while other GOP senators who weren’t on board were preparing their statement that they were going to kill the plan.

Hey Master of Deals, you’re supposed to be wining and dining the guys who aren’t on board, not the guys who are locked down.

Some of his GOP friends weren't happy that he was playing fireman and donning cowboy hats while the latest healthcare plan died this morning.

He should have come out with a doctor's coat on and a busty woman, then given a small speech about how important healthcare is, then pull a stethoscope out and start moving it around the woman's breasts, then looked towards the camera and say "These are the kinds of preexisting conditions we can cover".

Then we'd have a healthcare bill.

That sounds like an Art Fern spiel, comeds.

From that article:

When Trump goes out, it’s more often to eat—usually at one of his hotels where the chefs know he likes his steak well done with ketchup

Alright. Enough!! This right here should be an impeachable offense.

Former Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly told me that when he played a round with Trump for his 2003 book, Who’s Your Caddy? he asked if he could walk the course. Trump insisted on driving a cart. “And when you drive on the greens you do even less walking,” Reilly wrote to me recently in an email, referring to the viral clip of Trump rolling his cart across the green at Bedminster.

All right, forget about impeachment. Just shoot this motherfucker.

What?!?! I can't say that? OK, hopefully the second amendment people who like smooth greens take care of this fucking man-cow.
