To quote Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, “the suspense is killing me, I hope it lasts!”
@Senator Joseph McCarthy What I wrote is the financial crime Trump has committed all his life and people are too dumb to see it.
@david clark
DrUMPf’s brand is leveraged.
Whoever is leveraging the brand is using it to launder vice profits.
@Senator Joseph McCarthy
Tell what you know of the relationship between Ivank Trump, Jared Kushner, Wendi Deng Murdock, and Vladimir Putin.
Some arrangement?
This arrangement may explain the cozy relationship between Trump inc Panama and oligarch friends of Putin.
How many bankruptcies and fly by night failed businesses?
mr weissmann says the ny atty general’s office doesn’t have the authority to investigate or prosecute CRIMES? that’s the stupidest thing i ever heard. ALL 51 attys general have not only the authority but the damned obligation to investigate and prosecute crimes. THAT’S THEIR DAMNED JOB! my god our country is becoming more absurd, ludicrous and crazy by the minute. trump has 50 years OF CRIMES to arrest him on. the statute of limitations doesn’t apply when it protects the predatory actions of life-long criminals. ANY JUDGE can extend those limitations AT WILL!
is trump EVER going to face responsibility for any of the 1000’s of crimes his committed over the last 40 years? why hasn’t he been arrested for the treason, fraud and profiteering he conducted while in the white house. why haven’t ANY of the GOP been arrested yet for their treason.
here’s the reality of the law, NO congressman that voted to overturn the election or who has come out to downplay and cover-up the GOP crimes of 1-6 CANNOT participate in the decisions to investigate and prosecute the insurrection. they don’t have the authority to abuse their positions to cover-up their OWN CRIMES! they must recuse themselves or be FORCIBLY recused. THIS IS INSANE! the criminals are being allowed to decide whether or not they should be investigated! THAT’S ILLEGAL!
OUR COUNTRY SUX! the rich and connected are EXEMPT from the law! WE LIVE in a LAWLESS NATION where we’re ruled by RICH predators for the benefit of predators. its in our corporations, our businesses, our govt, our politicians and our “law” enforcement.
Trump HATE, Trump HATE, Trump HATE!!! HATRED of a man that you have NEVER met and has NEVER done ANYTHING to you or your family, other than get you more take home pay by way of a tax cut and got you the COVID vaccine faster than ANY other vaccine in history!! Are you getting the picture yet?? Sure looks like a lot of HATE from the self-proclaimed ‘loving & tolerant’!! Meanwhile, this propaganda outlet avoids showing you the current President, who wears diapers and has to have someone remind him to take his Aricept!!
Allen Weisselberg is another person the former guy doesn’t know. May have seen him around or something
@PabluchoViision Major falling out? Could it be that both were doing the same underage gal at the same time and got limp and fell out?
@Duncan Macpherson Who? Weisselberg was trunt’s CFO.
@PabluchoViision I want to know why NO ONE said anything when Rudy predicted that dirt would appear about Hillary Clinton- and it did the next day! Russian hacks and Assange made it happen. Rudy backtracked, but he said it.
Trump HATE, Trump HATE, Trump HATE!!!

@Jagger Lux ” continue pretending that you’re some sort of leftwing super agent of YouTube comments”
lol, look what you are pretending to be…
@BitBuhkit Eww, don’t call me a leftist. How dare you insult me so?! 😏 I however, cannot confirm or deny being some sort of “super agent of YouTube”. I do appreciate the attempted compliment though. 🤭
I agree. It’s allways someone else not the evil 👿 Democrats. Someone that votes 🗳 on lies/hearsay NO Evidence to try and impeach a president they hated them people cannot be trusted to do the right thing.

OUR COUNTRY SUX! the rich and connected are EXEMPT from the law! WE LIVE in a LAWLESS NATION where we’re ruled by RICH predators for the benefit of predators. its in our corporations, our businesses, our govt, our politicians and our “law” enforcement.
Love it lol nice 😘

@Wayne-O 5169
A simple search of this channel for Michael Avenatti shows how wrong you are. You never disagreed with anything your Crown Prince, your Trump Slayer said…
@S Jeffries
Most of the America hating subscribers to this channel are non-Americans. Never assume the America-hater is a fellow American, most are not. These are worldwide forums and lots of America-hating non-Americans love to stick their filthy noses into our business.
I continue to stick needles into soggy Cheetos and hope for the best. . …
Best comment here!!
Good one. Can you do a mini Cheeto for Jr.? 👍
why are they sogg………………………..NO scratch that I DON’T WANNA KNOW.

Although I want to see Former Guy in a jail cell, I really want to see Princess Show Pony doing time because she needs taking down several hundred pegs from her ‘perfect’ life.
@anon ymous The one the whole world watched live. America is not the only country that shows news you know. Which is your problem is it not. Like Trump you may lie and lie and lie. However, that was covered by world press. Not just Fox.
@kathleen gallagher I’ve always figured that Fred and his wife were part of the German American Bund before WW2 regrettably the membership records were destroyed the minute Hitler declared war on America.
@S Jeffries trump tariffs cost US consumers $1900 each.
@tom wool I am sure it is drunk. Why else would a Trump fan be on MSNBC Youtube page? Dunk or getting paid to troll.

@S Jeffries lol your cult leader is going to jail. 🤣🤣🤣
@dragonfly6908 lol your cult leader is going to jail. 🤣🤣🤣
@Francis Santiago Only 266,000 jobs added in April, the city was expecting one million.
Have those 4 people ever really done anything for anyone else, in their selfish lives? Doubt it . . .

@S Jeffries Blame CNN and blind leadership from Lemmings
@Eve Again You conveniently stopped responding when I posted just ONE fact about Biden’s feckless existence. You cant keep the charade going anymore.
@c. j. macq Settle down, Francis. I saw your dissertation when I clicked on it. No way I’m reading all that on YouTube. lol. Seek counseling if this is your therapy.
May Donny be blessed with nightly colonoscopies from the boys at Rikers Island ‘Welcoming Committee.’
@72defender I know. I’d be so sorry for those prisoners!

@S Jeffries Oh dear. You got it bad.
This is easily a RICO case. Everyone should be charged!
@Jeff S SDNY is Federal so of course they can.
Exactly sir!🤨
@Little Dikkins I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what I said. I don’t understand your point? I’m pretty sure we’re on the same side.
@S Jeffries ok.
Biden’s policies are helping the country prosper.
At long last. Keeping my fingers crossed & praying Teflon Don at long last faces justice. What will all those R/Qs in Congress do w their leader in prison? The R/Qs have shown us who & what they are & must be voted out of office.
