Hi Lawrence, yes he is a sad little boy. Note: One bad behaving child can cause a whole room of people to be disturbed and ruin a good time. I watched Bill Maher on Friday and he had Donnie Deutsch on the show. (I am guilty of having watched the apprentice shows on TV lol) and I remember Donnie used to be on once in a while as one of the folks assigning a task to the teams on the show. Donnie has known DJT for over 20 years and he said "he's a sociopath".
On the show prior (the Friday before) Howard Stern was on. Howard and Bill commented that there was a stretch of a few years now that they didn't speak. They were both glad they are speaking now. Not one of them mentioned DJT during Bill's time with Howard on the show. I couldn't help but feel their temporary division had to do with DJT. Howard was his "friend", and Bill Maher has always disliked DJT (the orange nightmare sued Bill I'm sure you know). So the Orange nightmare not only caused division in the USA but between friends! Can't wait for his reign of terror to be over and done.
I loathe him as a human being, and the things he has done and caused are abhorrent. But in that moment, when his face fell, I felt such pity for him, and such empathy for the child who was obviously raised to be horrible, and never had a real chance for love and compassion. He's here to learn a life lesson, I'm sure, but he also must be here to teach us all a bigger lesson. Maybe the only upside of his horrendous personality and terrible parenting is that Barron was not at the game with him.
So during the testimony of Vindman the Republicans were trying to get the identity of the whistleblower. Very disturbing
Wasserman Schutlz said the Republicans present for the deposition were trying to get Vindman to reveal the identity of the whistleblower.
"What the Republicans are trying to do very clearly in their questioning is try to front door or back door Lt. Col. Vindman into revealing who the whistleblower is, even though in his testimony he says he doesn't he didn't know," she said.
This is what they care more about!
I felt the pity you speak about for about two seconds. Then I stopped looking at his picture and remembered what he has done. I know it was hard for him to hear those boos and "Lock him up" but I would have chanted right along with those people.
I'm someone who believes in prison reform, and I don't like our prison/justice system. I think people should not be locked in jail for long periods of time if they are not dangerous or violent or have not committed a terrible crime. I believe people who make mistakes should give back to their community and be forced to serve the community for a long time instead of locking them up given certain circumstances. I believe what DJT and his cohorts have done though is a terrible crime. He is indirectly and perhaps even directly responsible for immigrant deaths and children/adults being tortured at the border as well as the souls of the Kurdish who perished.
I do understand the reaction you had to the picture but I can't help remember this too.
Well, here's an interesting tidbit.
In a June 5, 2019 article about the new Ukrainian president making his first visit to meet with EU officials noted that:
While in Brussels, Mr Zelensky also met Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior adviser to US president Donald Trump, as well as Rick Perry, US energy secretary.

So, this would seem to make it highly likely that Jared Kushner was involved with this whole Ukraine mess.
She is using the impeachment playbook that was basically created by the GOP during the Nixon and Clinton impeachment, and she seems to going by the letter. That's got to be driving them insane. Even Draco Malfoy Trey Gowdy approves of the way she proceeding.
I think Trump will resign rather than allow himself to be impeached and there may be a deal to not charge his kids, but there will be lots of assets forfeited that could end up benefiting the US Treasury.
