I mean that the subject of “Russia” keeps popping up in places I never expected. Case in point: When […]

Share

According to Rudy Giuliani across several Sunday shows yesterday, the possibility Donald Trump may not have paid any income taxes for 18 years because he ran his company into the ground in 1995 makes him “a genius!”.
