At this point the American people need to establish and create a jail draft lottery for leaders in the 116th Republican House and Senate. Numbers will be assigned and drawn against these leaders and off to jail they go with no say in the matter

@William Marick Ahhhh, the classic ‘what about…’ that identifies ignorant idiots and sore losers
Add my latest report also to that:
Trump already made his own and his business allies’ fortune during 4 years and specifically out of pandemic funds!
My investigation report on how Trump spent $3 TRILLION ($3,000,000,000,000) stimulus funds that his administration received to combat coronavirus (including $100s of billions for testing, masks and other PPE). Yet 145K deaths, 4.1M infected and 40M jobless!
Please read to see who got the most of $3 Trillion and for what.

Well that sounds very authoritarian, Do you not believe in democracy?
@adrian fuentes oh jesus, a Karen named adrian…😂😂
Trump has had three and a half years to do something about cyber security. Even after the Chinese lady was caught spying at Mar-A-Lago he did nothing.
@Some Person No, this documentation explains who Trump is, explains where the US probably is at that point in time, gives reference to how Germany went from a democracy into an authoritarian state, what tactics were used, etc.
@Reinhard I’m fully aware of what you’re saying, I just don’t get why you’re acting like your the only one and are wasting your breath on someone else fighting against trumps tyranny. Move on as I’m ignoring you from now on ok troll?

Trump’s entire presidency has been nothing more than a 4 year long smash & grab crime spree for him and his failing businesses. His foreign policy is nothing more than an extention of his crime spree.
Woody Johnson is a wealthy NFL owner, and a big money donor to Trump’s campaign. And that’s why Trump made him the US Ambassador to Britain, even though he has less than zero diplomatic experience. Well Woody was warned not to get involved in trying to move the British Open tournament to Trump’s resort in Scotland, but he raised the idea anyway, and he failed, spectacularly
The American ambassador to Britain, Woody Johnson told multiple colleagues in Feb 2018, that Trump had asked him to see if the British government could help steer the lucrative British Open golf tournament to the Trump Turnberry resort in Scotland, according to three people with knowledge of the episode.
The ambassador’s deputy, Lewis A. Lukens, advised him not to do it, warning that it would be an unethical use of the presidency for private gain. But Johnson was apparently under pressure from Trump to try. A few weeks later, he raised the idea of Turnberry playing host to the Open with the sec of state for Scotland, David Mundell.
The episode left Mr. Lukens and other diplomats deeply unsettled. Mr. Lukens, who served as the acting ambassador before Johnson arrived in Nov 2017, emailed officials at the State Department to tell them what had happened, colleagues said. A few months later, Johnson forced out Mr. Lukens, a career diplomat who had earlier served as ambassador to Senegal, shortly before his term was to end.
Trump’s Turnberry golf resort drew attention when the Pentagon acknowledged it had been sending US troops to the resort on the taxpayer dime, while they were on overnight layovers at the nearby Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
Emoluments Clauses, prohibits a president from receiving any profit, gain, or advantage from any foreign or domestic government. Impeachment, as outlined by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 65, is a political remedy for a president’s egregious violations of these prohibitions.
The Framers of the Constitution were very aware of the dangers from foreign influence on any president. This is why they created rules to prevent foreign governments from purchasing undue influence on a sitting President. Essentially buying a sitting President, which is basically what Putin and Saudi Arabia have done withTrump.
The rule prohibits anyone holding any “Office of Profit or Trust under the United States” from receiving any “emolument” from foreign powers. An emolument, for purposes of the Constitution, according to two courts, is any “PROFIT, GAIN, or ADVANTAGE. This rule is what has become known as the Foreign Emoluments Clause, and is located at Article I, Section 9, Clause 8.
FUN FACT: The emoluments clauses are our country’s original anti-corruption laws. They are written into the very document that created our government and defined our system of laws.
Trump has been violating the Constitution since he was sworn in at noon on January 20, 2017. His decision prior to his inauguration to keep ownership and control of his businesses —a move that went against both long-standing historical practice and the advice of career government ethics officials—put him at odds with the Constitution’s original anti-corruption provisions the moment he was sworn in.
William H Music 2020 , dream on, William !!! Your delusional !!!!!
@KrystalOcean
👍✌ You’re welcome.
@Alex Hamilton not so sugar plum.
@Logan McLean poor baby. I see you have only one like. Give your trump doll a hug sweetie.
@Wassily Kandinsky The entity you are responding to is a troll account which is posted by whoever is on shift at any given moment.
Comment about it if you choose, but don’t respond directly.
The troll activity is at full strength since just before the Portland invasion. Funny how they knew in advance.
Expect a team to hit any of David J ‘s posts pretty hard until either November or when the coup is complete.
The quality of information contained in the David J posts denotes someone or some team who has access to well catalogued information. That alone is scary to Putin’s propaganda team.
The strategy in one word. NONE!!
Biden’s strategy would be to raise taxes and fondle little girls, one would cause server economic harm and the other would have no effect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEeWsh_lvyI&t=176s
@Ragnar Lothbrok Somehow I think that you are misinformed.
Ragnar Lothbrok #StopTrump fake news
You will never see a strategy with Trump.
Wear your mask like trump told you to do
Biden’s strategy will to raise taxes and fondle little girls, one will cause server economic harm and the other will have no effect. Watch this and raise your iq two points from 88 to 90. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEeWsh_lvyI&t=176s
@Gabe Dudley same old remark. You are boring. Go away loser
The Trump administration is simply an out of control crime syndicate that, unfortunately, isn’t as competent as the Mob.😷🤔
@Richard Hunt Tony Soprano wouldn’t have botched Corona response. And while he may have you killed for crossing him he would support your wife and children. Drumpf has no actual human empathy.
Jesus. Same names, same Trumpist troll remarks. They have no sense of irony nor do they ever talk about the topic of the video. The video talked about how the WH Deflects attention from the real issues to more cultural issues, but like you said, He sucks at it. And here we see his worshipers are doing the exact thing that was the topic of the video.
So since Trump sucks at deflecting, and we don’t believe him, why will we listen to the same BS conspiracies from a stranger on the internet
Hey! You guys need new methods. Lazy lies work on the uneducated, but that’s Trump’s Base. So yeah. You’re wasting your time here.
@Random Internet Person I see the coat hanger marks on your skull.
And unfortunately this is, per my investigations, how still some of his followers are sleeping:
Trump is master in creating propaganda & conspiracy theories to scare & brainwash his voters, and then highlight himself as the only savior & hero against the fake news and the mess he himself created!
Please read my investigation report on how he is running the biggest propaganda & conspiracy theory machinery in US history under the umbrella of SOCIALIST Falun Gong’s media channels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-wNdNH9VaQ&t=98s

Investigative audit is totally chinese propaganda
Asia is the centre of civilisation and definitely do not need US, Asia is moving forward while US is bullying weak nations instead of helping people. Trump should be praised for showing the true face of US to the entire world. No one would buy into BS of human rights from US anymore.
When the economy tanks China puts money into infrastructure which creates jobs, and then pays for itself for decades after. Every Republican President in 90 years crashed the economy, and they give bailouts and tax cuts to their donors. It’s a stark contrast, and is why America is crumbling and dying.
facts
Yep, Trumps greed and incompetence has lifted the skirts on America, we see it for for what it really is, broken, divided, cowardly, corrupt and dysfunctional.
Cheers
China will probably close US consulate in HK, thereby destroying 70 years of intelligence network in Asia.
Charles Darwin the founder of evolution , we can’t punish others for our failure!
thank you.@Charles Darwin the founder of evolution
@William H Music 2020 china is punishing murica, not other way around, simply china will cut off all medical supplies and medication supplies to murica, US depend 100% on china for those things
@xinyiquan666 F China

BIDEN REALIST

MAGA 2020 #MakeAmericanGravesAccumulated !

Tied to China and Uncle Xi……😉
@Michael W he doesn’t that’s fake news
Michael W
Biden’s son is a private citizen but if you want to talk about Trumps kids, I’m all ears…
@Michael W who cares about your silly opinion. Go away loser
Trumps kids are making out like bandits. Now he is trying to get an ambassador to get the British open at his property. Come on maybe hunter shouldn’t have done that, but you cannot continue to defend trump and his kids when they are putting all kinds of money in their pockets while Americans are suffering. Chinese trademarks for Ivanka days after their visit to china, ivanka and trump using unsecured emails and phones while yelling lock her up, and a whole Landry list of other offenses. They even found a way to benefit from the relief funds and they weren’t allowed to get any. It’s a joke. Go on defending the indefensible.
Politics and propaganda!

The only strategy he has EVER had was…
stay in office until his death.
That needs to be arranged. .STAT!
Why is it that only Dems and Independent see covid as a problem but the Repukelicons think it’s a hoax.
Because Trump tells them everything is a hoax and they believe that con man. It’s a CULT!
Because thier politicians like Biden make money in china
This is doing so much damage.
Trump will get even wilder over the next weeks and months.
what did biden do for usa in his 50year politics career except vote for iraq war 2003 ?
@MR DEW nobody cares about your silly little opinion. Go away. Get going now fool.
China should revoke Ivanka’s chinese trademarks and other business relations–that should produce a “strategy”.
Laundering money through Her companies.
What about the Russian Bounties on US Troops? Shouldn’t we be looking at those as well?
Thats been debunked as fake news.
Kealii fake news..where you been …Biden’s basement 😂😂🤣🤣
@Elcrypto yeah dumb kid. its proven reality dummy.
@Dawn Kuzio you hiding in the bunker too like bunkerboy and you have faux news there? the bounties are proven by several countries and russians themself
He still has those crazed eyes. Remember when he held a rally and 3 people showed up? That was so funny.
The USA has a FAILED LEADER. just get out and VOTE BLUE in November
Just think, a whole lot of the current situation with EVERYTHING could have been avoided if only the Senate had impeached Trump back in Jan!!!
