The fraud that was pulled by McConnell in the Senate will be there for all to see and it's going to become harder and harder for Trump's base to continue ignoring his corruption.
Be careful what you wish for.

I never said the Obama's were the first, the only, or the last, but its still corruption.

Books "written" (usually by a ghost writer) by powerful politicians, and their speeches, during or after their tenure, are just money laundering scheme's to move dark money to political recipients.

Barry didn't write the book, then suddenly every public library in America was shipped a pallet of them, and voila, best seller, #1 NYT, and the money flows into Obama's hands. That is corruption.

When Bill Clinton went to China to give several $250,000 15 minute speeches after his Presidency...corruption.

What the Biden family did in the Ukraine...corruption.

what Dick Cheney did with defense contractors...corruption.

What the Bush family did with energy company's...corruption.

What all the political candidates do skiming 15% off the top of all their donations as advertising buying fees, or consulting...corruption.

These schemes are all bordering upon being illegal, but since they are all doing it, and its not blatantly illegal, other politicians and the meida look the other way. The American taxpayers are being ripped off by ALL of them, and its worse now than ever. Most of the Stimulus and Tarp Billions...corruption. That really opened up the flood gates.
^crazy talk

I wish they had a clue how much could have been accomplished if they had worked with Trump, exactly as they ran on in 2018.






I'm glad he is being acquitted because this whole deal was an attempt to hijack the Republic by the Dem led house.


Shifty should be impeached.
I wish some posters would read and attempt to digest the original post and the provided and related articles as opposed to automatically regurgitating the Trump manufactured talking points in the usual knee jerk reaction to any differing viewpoint or thoughtful long-term perspective.

When Trump kicked hill baby's sloppy, fat, old a$$, he saved America..! All of the deplorable democrats should be on their knees thanking the man. He has MAGA and has made life much better for every stinking democrat out there.

A vote for the democratic candidate is a vote that you hope America will fail...
When was America not great ?

Probably because it gets under the skin of some Trump supporters.

No, it is purely correcting someone whom is plainly WRONG. Emotion has nothing to do with refuting a point that is meaningless, like the popular vote in a Presidential election. People make themselves look really stupid, and look like petty, sore losers when they keep bringing it up.

If you dont think all the politicians are corrupt, you are naive.

Look at how much they have when they take office, and then add how much we paid them.

Comapre that to what they have when the leave office, and that difference is ill gotten gains.

If you'd rather stic your hed in the sand, have at it.

He'll expand the map in 2020.



The Dems keep saying how HRC won the popular vote. Only because of CA.


Take out the CA votes and Trump won the popular vote as well.


CA does not represent the US as they once did. Kalifornia is about right.
