Where did he make a profit on something that did not happen. This story is wishful fiction with no proof of any, again I say any, illegal activity.

Well, yes, the UK govt isn't going to push anyone to use Trump's golf course just because he wants them to. That might work in NY and Saudi Arabia (etc) but Scotland isn't going to go for it.

There's plenty of evidence right there in the article to merit concern, particularly given that it fits the pattern of the current WH - people willing to scratch backs and do favours get ahead, people with integrity get shown the door. Over and over again. If the allegations are false, then the NYT can/could be made to retract in, as on the few occasions when something that actually is false is printed and there is an instant hullabaloo that lasts for weeks, however minor the issue is. Anything that is actually true gets nothing more than flat denials without any attempt to counter what is said.
Tom, man you think that the NYT is going to make a retraction, seriously, they will do that about the same time they return the Pulitzer prize they got for the Russia Hoax stories.

I got the impression that Scotland does care much about what the UK govt wants.

They do make retractions, on the extremely rare occasions it can be demonstrated something actually false was printed.

Well, you can be certain few people in Scotland care much about what D Trump wants.

What can the Democrats do?

If they have a House hearing, what do they base it on?
Has any formal complaint been made? Has any whistleblowers report been filled out and submitted to the IG?

Even if it gets that far, what can they do?
Trump claims "absolute immunity" and puts pressure onto everyone not to testify or offer documents or evidence. People wanting to testify know that they will get fired or demoted. Any IG that does any investigations will get fired.
If it goes to the Senate there will be no witnesses, no evidence.
Republican senators will reject the charges regardless of how compelling the case is against him.

And you call the Democrats disgusting, not the guy committing the crimes or his team of Republicans who enable him and cover up for him and obstruct justice for him?

I am not the least bit sympathetic to Republicans, but there have been plenty of Democrats that are cowards in the face of Trump's tyrrany.

I certainly think she is fair,

But I've been doing some internet searches and I'm struggling to find where she criticises Obama or Democrats.

She's definitely biased pro-Democrat. That being said, she also does solid research and remains factual. She may not cover things that look bad for the Democrats, but i haven't found her to misrepresent the things she does cover.

You got the wrong impression, Scotland largely doesn't care in the slightest what the UK government wants, they have their own government and of the 59 Scottish seats only 6 of them are held by the UK government's Conservative party. The Scottish government is held by a huge majority by the socialist Scottish National Party.

The NYT makes corrections all the time. You'd know that if you actually read it.

I think that was a typo, Clint meant ‘doesn’t care’ not does care

Yeah... but the disgusting thing is that the establishment Democrats will wait for the elections and play it safe. They really aren't interested in justice anymore.

They tried impeachment already -- but with the Senate in McConnell's control, and McConnell firmly in Donald's pocket, it's a waste of time.

Calm down, it is not like Trump needs more money. We do not even know for certain if Trump had anything to do with this and nothing happened so what is the excitement all about?
Trump cares only about himself and money.
He cares so much about money that he calls up Forbes pretending to be someone else in order to tell the how rich he is. His presidency is one massive cash grab for him. He instructs the armed forces to stay at his golf course, he instructs his VP to stay at his hotel, his AG signs up to have a party at his hotel, he tries (and fails) to have the G7 at his property and he has his regular golf outings and meetings at his golf facilities.
I would have thought a Republican supporter would have been interested in whether a govt official is taking from the tax payers coffers, but it seems many are not interested during this administration.
They get a special pass this time around.

They tried impeaching him and it got nowhere. Another impeachment would just make them look even sillier after being shot down in the senate.
