The evidence of corruption is undeniable.

It is? Let's see some.

Zelensky can perk her up with another trip to Ottawa to clap for the nazi hero championed in their Parliament.

That seemed to be a high point for her.

That $40,000 shopping spree was never real, it was just part of the countless internet tales of yachts and Florida mansions.

Sure enough, the haters are already piling on.

To some, truth is hateful. To others, truth sets men free.

That just goes to show you that even all of the money we sent them doesn’t make up for it! Staying outside the Ukraine and. living in high class hotels and restaurants can’t end the depression.

I’m sure another million dollar shopping spree with our taxpayer dollars will sooth her bruised ego.

Is that the fake story about a $1.1 Million shopping spree at Cartier in New York?

How many of those posts proved corruption on the part Zelensky's wife?

I'm gonna post this AGAIN:

"A factor about the internal Ukrainian situation that badly needs to be understood:

The implosion of the USSR, and subsequent freedom for Ukraine, left in place a whole network of Soviet oligarchs and kleptocrats who were used to operating outside anything resembling law. (Like Russia still has today.) These people have been undermining Rule of Law in Ukraine from that day to this. So more than a little of what Putin advocates are preening about has been reports of efforts to clean this up. In that context, declaring martial law aids this purpose, because it cuts off some of the legal loopholes they exploited. A wise move, if there is ever to be a peaceful Ukraine with free markets, human rights, and Rule of law. Which is what the Ukrainian rank and file want. It's why Ukraine tossed out Yanukovich, and why they elected an ex-actor who'd never been an oligarch, first chance they got."

She doesn’t seem to have suffered “psychological burnout” when it comes to buying, and wearing designer clothing.

The fact that you don't provide evidence to prove anyone wrong is very telling. Sob some more Chad.
