    1. He just might, the USA is basically a fascist dictatorship: Twenty-eight states have enacted anti-BDS laws or executive orders that prohibit state agencies and state-financed entities, such as colleges, from doing business with any person or firm that hasn’t pledged never to boycott Israeli goods.

  1. i have never hated anyone this much…it scares me i feel this much hate for one person, but trump is that horrible.

    1. @Rudy Penza While your association(s) are explanatory, it is unfortunate that this medium precludes the use of pictures for those of defective comprehension abilities.

    1. Justice and the Republican party play favorite. The whole Trump family and members of his administration committed crimes. They need to go to jail.

      Good old USA, hypocrites like no other country. Trump is just a product of his culture.

    1. @joe ward No, he won’t be remembered forever! There were many Roman emperors, for example, that ruled the world and few but the professors remember their names. Same with Kings of European countries and Chinese and Japanese Emperors.
      But when Trump* is remembered, there’ll be that asterisk indicating Impeached! Romney’s fame is guaranteed!

    2. @Michaels amazing videos , a Republican half-truth. Other half is that his approval rating never has been very high.

  2. We’re a system of two sets of laws: One for the rich and connected and the other for the rest of us. Anyone that tells you different is a chump. There is one thing I’m thankful to Trump for: he exposed (by example) the rotten underbelly of our system for all (who are willing) to see.

    1. Jay Zenitram I do agree with you sir. Politicians are certainly not being held accountable for their actions. Washington is in a state of corruption this country has never seen before. It doesn’t matter what side of isle it is. Money and political power can get you a get out of free jail card.

    2. Iv’e been saying that for a couple of years but it’s good to see others are coming to the same realization. The two century old ‘constitution’ virtually guarantees a Trump and is utterly worthless in dealing with one.

    1. @Mike Green Thankfully you inbred morons are a minority. You support a liar, criminal, and TRAITOR. Just like we took back the house, we’re coming for the Senate next. Your lawless president will be going to prison. I will bathe in that glorious moment with every ounce of my being.

    1. M 3 the law didnt come to bite him they came to set him up. Im no trump supporter, but the law shouldn’t be weaponized against people because you couldnt accept their aquittal.

    2. If Bernie Sanders wins in November, then Trump will be in handcuffs next year FOR CERTAIN. It’s inevitable.

    3. Tessmage Tessera how can you be certain about anything? You must think bernie is an angel. He can be corrupted like any ithe politician.

  3. He pardoned Blagojevich because he went to jail for selling Obama’s seat in the Senate, among other things. Plus their old friends from The Apprentice. ..
    Kinda saw this one coming

    1. @Leonard Pereira Trump doesn’t give anything any thought there’s nothing in that head of his to allow him to think.

    2. @Deacon Borges I’m from chicago illinois. And he needs to stay locked up. Because that was man is guilty as sin. And his own political party removed him from being the governor of illinois. You even had people in the city of chicago. And the suburbs of chicago. That was signing petitions to remove him. He brought our justice department. In Illinois to complete shame. And for this dude to pardon. Somebody that did wrong. For the state of illinois in the city of chicago. That is utterly stupid.

    1. @Jonny Sevent i see the truth i juss dont care…i also dont feel like paying 20% more in taxes so a bunch of parasites can get to live longer….im a sociopath theres plenty of us around get used to it

    2. @Whitemanfromtowne T … Don’t blame black people for this trash created by trump…
      We stayed home …

    1. @Todd Smith dude I’m from illinois. And this bozo. Is trying to pardon a former governor of illinois. That was convicted of high crimes. Against the state of illinois. He needs to stay in jail. Because he doesn’t deserve to be pardoned.

    1. So…… they ARE capable of such a task? I was beginning to wonder if they lacked training, or if they’re even actually alive. Zombies for Trump……. think maybe out of a $1 BILLION cake he divvied up among those with the immune votes? I mean……. with a billion he could pay 1,000 people a million EACH.

  4. “He looks like anybody you see on the street. But when he grins, birds fall dead off telephone lines…the grass yellows up and dies where he spits. He’s always outside. He came out of time…He has the name of a thousand demons. Jesus knocked him into a herd of pigs once. His name is Legion. He’s afraid of us…He knows magic. He can call the wolves and live in the crows…He’s the king of nowhere.”
    ― Stephen King, The Stand

  5. He’s already pardoned himself. And will fight in courts til he’s dead to uphold his right to have done so. They need to check under that ridiculous beaver on his head for the 666

    1. And count in his minions those deplorable Republicans that have enabled the Orange Dumpling and his band of deplorables. SAD and WRONG

  6. trump is pardoning all his Criminal Friends more Corruption in his WH. But who will Pardon trump and his DIRTY MOB? NOBODY let him go and live with Putin or Kim

    1. 66 Million? No wonder Trump is in the lead. MSNBC need to invoke blind hate in about 280 million more people before that happens.

    2. They love to keep bringing up the 63 million that voted for the orange blow fish, but what about the 66 million who voted for Clinton!!

  7. If democracy is truly a so-called “experiment”, then Trump is doing everything within his power to blow up the entire damned lab. Certainly, a madman who is being cheered on by his fellow mad scientists, namely; the entire GOP.
