Hand with Rudy Giuliani, the president s personal lawyer, pushing the scheme for which President Trump was ultimately impeached, pressuring ukraine to announce investigations into the biden family to try to hurt them in the 2020 election. Lev parnas had met with President Trump on multiple occasions. He was carrying out this ukraine scheme on his behalf. There were a gazillion photos of lev and the president meeting together. But when mr. Parnas and his partner igor fruman were arrested and charged with multiple Campaign Finance felonies and their ukraine scheme got laid out in their indictment, mr. Parnas learned the hard lesson that so many trump folks have learned over the years, particularly over the course of his presidency, which is that while donald trump demands absolute loyalty to him, for you, you get nothing. Loyalty only goes to him. It never comes from him. President trump claimed that he did not even know lev parnas, had nothing to do with him, never met the guy, or if he

Designed was to give a lot of power to a little group of people. That and what biden can do on his own to ensure we never have a year like 2020 again when all in starts right now. Joe biden won the presidency decisively and he did it in a country that is nearly as polarized as it has ever been. We know basically the fine vote count. Bidens margin victory is over 7 million votes. 4. 5 points in the popular vote. It a larger margin than barack obama in 2012. Obama was an incumbent and larger than George W Bushs win in 2004. Get this, that 51. 3 its the highest vote share of any candidate challenging a sitting incumbent since fdrs win over Herbert Hoover and thats because it is hard to beat incumbents, so hard four elected president s have lost in the last 100 years.
