@Peoples KarmaSquad think Miicheal Blumberg, he might be a rich guy, but he is able with his money to out vote trump. Blumberg is good for the environment, a womans right to choose, investing in clean energy and closing down the polluters, etc.
Barr just paving the way for the 1st American Reich .

Barr needs to go
so the president now has the authority to mortally wound a political rival in hopes to remove his opposition and get reelected. nice, that sounds democratic.
the 22nd amendment seems to be in the way of me getting a third term.. executive order to ignore it, the article 2 powers i have say i can do it, oh and the political rival once again gets into a mortal accident, what are the chances.
@Mance Venture Lol. A trumkin calling someone uneducated. trump wouldn’t be president if there were more educated people.
..a corrupt political rival, ok!
@Robin Hood What I love is the immediate descent into personal abuse.
I bet Russia and China are thrilled to control our elections and get Trump hotels in exchange.
@Sask Sun seekers You mean insults like the ones thrown at Trump supporters since day one? GFY ๐!

Trump asks if they are listening on TV. Oh they are listening and very happy their plan worked. And they enjoy doing investigations for him since they just make stuff up.

When trump starts bashing #Bernie because he is a socialist. Explain to trump how the party system in our election is a #socialist idea!
How he just made a trade dwal with #communists.
How his favorite person #Putun. Is a #Communist.
Does trump or the #GOP even know what socialism is as they use it to #tweet out lies to us?
Right is not a number, and is sometimes all alone
Me!
@sam getalong You’re not alone. Not even in crimson red TX. ๐
How does that story go? Something about the Fox guarding the Hen house?
And this one has fangs!
with military bases worldwide it’s already too late, he’s got world dictatorship in hi sisght
Sad, sad, sad!
What!!!! They’re at it again. The KEEP cheating on Bernie Saunders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4_RyfedBU&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1dWQOmNGc92lNzJAwn5yJcE36zTXX2U3_RkectYfPneygae8ONuyzWRgw

All this obstruction, not only on this case but may others like his finances, will drag things on till election day. And if Pelosi or someone else plays by the old rule (Mitch hasn’t been playing by those rules for 6-8 years) and stops investigations the year of an election, they all deserve 4 more years of Trump. Because of the obstruction and court cases they have a legitimate reason to finish what they started 2, maybe 3 years ago and has not been resolved.
The die has cast, democracy in the US is dead. Barr playing gatekeeper is like adding insult to injury.
@Nomore Illegals please You must be native American, I hear you brah.
Let’s take a look at why he made that decision. The dems have been allowed to run free wasting tax payer money. The fbi got caught working for the dems against trump. The Mueller report the partisan impeachment where the house didn’t do a proper investigation and made there own dictatorship rules instead of following even how it was run umfor Clinton. Barry sat back and watched now has said you took your shot and failed time to back off
They continue to cheat!!! Will it EVER stop? They’re at it again. They KEEP cheating on Bernie Saunders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4_RyfedBU&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1dWQOmNGc92lNzJAwn5yJcE36zTXX2U3_RkectYfPneygae8ONuyzWRgw
A dictatorship in progress.. America the land of the free , not anymore.
@Just Say’n Trump might say “Whoppers are hamberders right? Or are only Big Macs hamberders? I like hamberders.”
so sad! your country was the leader of democratic countries of the world. With this POTUS you joined Russia, China, North Korea….from your northern neighbour from Quebec.
You can say that again!!! Will it EVER stop? They’re at it again. They KEEP cheating on Bernie Saunders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4_RyfedBU&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1dWQOmNGc92lNzJAwn5yJcE36zTXX2U3_RkectYfPneygae8ONuyzWRgw
The dictatorship was already here while your president Obama eroded our rights and legalized media propaganda via the NDAA. But you’re okay with that.
Your TDS has you Delusional
Barr just made himself Reichsfurher hey. America, you guys really are in trouble…
Yeah, but isn’t donny too stupid to be the Fueher?
@Jeff somersby It’s a twitter war mate. A twitter war with a twitter twit mad king. It should be quite a spectacle; as long as they stay where they are and not involve others. Fat chance.
Can you believe this? They’re at it again. The KEEP cheating on Bernie Saunders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4_RyfedBU&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1dWQOmNGc92lNzJAwn5yJcE36zTXX2U3_RkectYfPneygae8ONuyzWRgw
YOUR President is still DONALD JOHN TRUMP even though he has broken you into a billion tiny pieces, and it is epic!
Speak for yourself, Bert.
The corruption level in the USA is at an unprecedented level
Actually, President Trump stopped a lot of it. Thanks for the comment .
@Nomore Illegals please True Comment…. There are many issues involved and all countries have an immigration process. Provided one comes through the front door and complies with the same. I new law is being passed where any family who has a loved killed by an illegal immigrant from any of the sanctuary states, that state can now be sued.
Yep all them corrupt Democrats….
This is how Gilead begins.
True.
“It Can’t Happen Here” – Sinclair Lewis in 1935. It’s like they used it as their master plan.
Yeah, but there was a balm in Gilead. Sigh.
Homeland security, arrested Donald Trump and carry-out in a straight jacket.
Now try putting your words together to form an actual sentence.
@howdareyou41 that is what you Russian allowed Putin to do
@howdareyou41 A scary thought, but you could be right.
@howdareyou41 Except, Trumps twitching is going to get way worse!

@Mance Venture No. I am The Fox and I will be guarding that nice little hen house…stay tuned and bring a camera!
Ok Boomer
Never again will America be able to tell other countries how to become โproper democraciesโ without corruption
The world has been in a constant state of terror for thirty years before the President. I think most of the haters are true racist. Obama spoiled the illegals that dropped children here to be a time bomb it has become.
Forget giving the rest of the world lessons in democracy. Forget ยซย the greatest democracy in the worldย ยป. Welcome to the dictatorsโ club.

WOW,,, This is the Demonic
We need to impeach the current Attorney General.
I hope they are all already under investigation. They may not be able to try trump, but none of the others are (so far) exempt.
๐๐ป
@Good Action Daily trump can be tried again and again. Kinda doubt he will be. I’m afraid too many have lost faith in that process.
Keep impeaching lol. You idiots don’t ever learn a single thing.
@notallheros wearcapes Trump can’t be tried again and again.
Partison impeachment will forever be dead in the water, thanks to the Dems.

He’s got to go! Nothing good can come from this so called president.
I agree but the opportunity was yesterday and now that’s gone. This man is ruthless.

Sorry, he’s staying! HAHAHAHA!!!! You lose again!
Here we go again!!! Will it EVER stop? They’re at it again. They KEEP cheating on Bernie Saunders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX4_RyfedBU&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR1dWQOmNGc92lNzJAwn5yJcE36zTXX2U3_RkectYfPneygae8ONuyzWRgw
