    1. @Yolanda Denny Problem is, Daddy knew how to make money. The only thing Donny knows how to do is spend it and invest in money losing ventures. The result: 6 bankruptcies. However, justice may be coming. Trump personally guaranteed many of the loans coming due. If he can’t pay, the creditors may begin seizing his assets. If you thought you heard him crying before, wait until that happens!

    2. He said “I could shoot someone on Pennsylvania Ave and get away with it”. Well. What a PATHETIC STORY WE LIVE IN!!

  1. Keep the lawsuits coming. The more time he spends in court, the less time he can spend on planning his next violent coup.

    1. @Jonas P I think I didn’t make myself clear, the reason Trump says he is whining about the election is to prevent “future” fraud. You and I know there wasn’t any. He just got people all riled up so as to keep his job. Trump was politicking not running the country so his rhetoric shouldn’t get him immunity. HE LIED and it’s been proven. He is just changing his story to say he did all of it to prevent election fraud n the future— alternate facts so he can get out of accepting responsibility

    2. I wonder if the soon to be Seattle NHL franchise will change its name from the Kraken. Sydney Powell has ruined it.

    1. @Mac Daddy 50 Yeah Trump was rich before he came into office. Senile joe got rich selling his influence overseas.

    2. @Samuel DeChamplain He so rich Trump has a 40,000,000 dollar note due soon. Buddy, rich is when people can’t see your house from the street.

      If Joe is so senile how did he make his money overseas ?

    3. can you imagine if Trump gets house speaker, Nancy’s job in two years from now, priceless…..you slimy dems better step it up with your frivolous claims because it aint over until the orange man sings.

    4. @jean tyler if his pocket book is not dry by now it’s coming…stress can probably give him a heart attack as well. LoL

  2. I wonder what kind of illegal stuff he’s done off the record…My guess is he’s hired the Mob for hits

    1. @Equality To All Trump hand is all over that 1 and more ,rico law enforcement on all republicans criminals GOP=GROUP OF CRIMINALS, he swears he is John Gotty the MOB boss. At the end they pay BIG.

    2. I think we only know about 4 % of all the illegal and deceptive things he has done when he was president and since.

    3. @Equality To All and where is Ghislane Maxwell?? Are they keeping her locked up tight, to release her inevitable bombshells when the time is right?

    1. @buddhastaxi666 I think Melanoma is visiting a divorce lawyer and going to make her escape while he still has a little money!

    2. yeah. I’m worried about that as well. I could easily see him “addressing the nation” on RT (Russia Times.) sowing Chaos on behalf of Putin,

    3. I may be too tired right now to see a problem with that. I would prefer that he live in Russia. I wish he’d relocate his whole family there. He could take Rudi and whole list of others with him and I’d be fine with that.

    1. @Fun Bigly Wen u refuse to understand the truth staring you in the face, u are simply staving off reality, but it WILL come. No, he didn’t win and more, he has ALWAYS been feeding u lies…. In fact I believe he is guilty of EVERY assertion he makes towards others – this is the ‘Criminal’s MO’… (modus operandi)… Just consider for a minute, that u r misinformed – how wud THAT feel??

    2. @Fun Bigly I not only have a wonderful life, I have the opportunity of offering blind fools the chance of raising their consciousness. But not to fear – I expect naught and suffer naught from thugs, liars, fools and criminals ☺️ ‘Hav a nice day’ – they are numbered 😉

  3. You give concise and understandable commentaries.
    I enjoy your presentations.
    Thank you for your service and being a patriotic American.

    PROUD NEVER TRUMPER 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. So should all the people who lost their jobs and businesses over the BLM riots…sue all democrats for pushing their exaggerated, anti police rhetoric for months

    2. @Deb Hammersley they didn’t do that? Thats funny because I heard AOC and those like her talking about “genocide” from the police. She even encouraged people to occupy ICE offices…when is she getting impeached?

    1. Sadly , We ain’t gonnna be that lucky . We saw what happened in Senate trial and final vote . There’s too many crazies out there that will protect him .

  4. Similar to mafia witnesses you need to protect them. Trump is a GOP mafia leader. Treat him no different than the NYC mobsters.

    1. @Max Power I remember when Obama became President. Do you remember him saying under his energy plan prices were going to skyrocket. And Biden is Obama’s puppet. And as far as speculation goes, when it costs more to transfer gas I speculate that gas prices will rise. In fact they already rose 30 cents a gallon where I’m from.

    2. @Max Power None of your little words confuse me. Don’t you remember what you write? You and Dementia Joe have a lot in common. I’ll remind you though. You said do you really believe all that crap. And I said what crap. Does that refresh your short memory?

    3. I believe the Intimidation’s are really Deep Connections he has from his goons in the IRS, Justice Department, Defense Department, etc. & that’s why he has never been convicted of anything & I don’t believe there will be any convictions unless you have a Complete Overhaul of these major Area’s. Take the IRS for example – maybe Trump & his children transferred most of their huge Debt money to Russia to pay which would mean they could now can get back door loans from any world bank like what Deutsche Bank was doing but the IRS never told anybody the Debt money was moved to Russia & of course the banks won’t say anything. And when Russia needs to give money to the IRS for say Military Bases constructed In Russia by Trump & his contractor’s – the IRS just tears up all that information so Russia doesn’t have to pay anything either to the USA. What a setup just like with the Capitol building riot or “Billions Spent on U.S. Defenses Failed to Detect Giant Russian Hack” thanks to his goons in the Defense Department some who just came into that area when Defense Secretary Mark Esper was kicked out by Trump. Also if Trump was really scared of anything done by him & his children, they would out of the USA by now in Israel, etc. And even with obstruction of justice through the Mueller Report (“Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. §371) a/k/a “Collusion” by the Mueller report”) he won’t be convicted now because the Connections are to deep. I sure hope I am wrong – even grade school children know about Connections.

    1. …. and hopefully trump will ‘expire’.
      “trump 2020” went from being a campaign slogan to an expiration date.
      And he’s been sour grapes ever since then.

  5. I still want Secretary Yellen to sue Trump for the full cost of the insurrection. It’s only a half billion now, but that figure grows every day.

    1. WOW! I have wondered since that day how much monetary damage was done and I had not heard.
      Where did you see that? I want to read all about it. I could Google it but would like to know what news agency reported.
      That is an insane amount and yes…trump should pay for it. Someone should and not the American people or maybe trump supporters that reveled at it should help pay. Heck, they would be stupid enough to help him pay.

    1. Well, see the problem here is: These are judges, not Trumplican senators.

      Though, I recommend that they get Trump on state charges too, and particularly in New York. That way we can have a better chance of him never receiving a pardon. I guess a liberal state like New York could have a Republican governor at some point, but it seems like a better place than say… Florida.

      20 years for Trump in prison perhaps. No visitation privileges nor ability to communicate. Should make campaigning difficult for him.

    2. I believe the Intimidation’s are really Deep Connections he has from his goons in the IRS, Justice Department, Defense Department, etc. & that’s why he has never been convicted of anything & I don’t believe there will be any convictions unless you have a Complete Overhaul of these major Area’s.

I sure hope I am wrong – even grade school children know about Connections.

  6. Why hasn’t Trump been arrested yet? Oh, that’s right, we don’t want to offend the lunatic right. Somehow telling them their favorite Trump conspiracies are not true would be as equally inapproriate as telling a four year old there is no Santa Claus.

    1. Well maybe you should do a citizens arrest?? Since you witnessed said crimes? Or have actual footage of him breaking laws or evidence like a laptop with incriminating emails oh wait thats the bidens.

  7. “The truth always comes out in the end, no matter how hard anyone tries to hide it.
    Lies are just a temporary delay to the inevitable.” !!!
