Never trust a former president who wears Jim Bakker’s haircut and Tammy Faye’s makeup.
Hey, That’s an insult to Jim and Tammy!!!
😂🤣😂
That is just 2 clues….many many great big RED FLAGS from this abusive “person”.
I’ve despised this guy since the day he rocked up in Scotland selling snake oil to there natives he’s the worse of dogs in a pack that’s rabid
Now that’s not only true, but funny!
Do it like Al Capone style. They took down Capone by going after his accountant.
@James Smith name one thing Biden has done that has helped Americans. I’ll wait. Was it inflation? Stock market drop? Insane gas prices? Paying hamas to shoot rockets at our allies? Destroying the southern border? He’s done nothing to help Americans. Or Maybe you live at home with no responsibility’s and you are just brainwashed.
@Joshua Everett so nothing. You can’t name a single thing. His achievements match your IQ. Zero.
@Punchy Fartbox Adorable. You think you’re scoring points here? You’re asking me about something I wasn’t responding to? Classic. And you have to resort to nonsense insults even then? You seem to be a walking Dunning-Kreuger case study. How do you make it through a day without accidentally hurting yourself?
@Punchy Fartbox you are so right. Biden has ruined america in a few months. So obvious
Taxes or mail fraud: both leave a nice paper trail.
The BIG LIE will always lose to the BIG TRUTH !
Jus’ takes a little time.
Gotcha
@George Acton Have a delightful evening and prosperous tomorrow.
The GOP new slogan:
“SCAM Я US”
@Eric Luna we do have one world religion it’s GREED. That’s why we are so messed up.
Man. Woman. Camera. Deutchbank. Tax Fraud. Putin. Money Laundering. Rubles. Prison.
“Truininanashahabadepressure.”
-Joe Biden
Well, it beats, “You know…you know the thing.”
Lmao
@paul rollings Since last year, I saw a lot of things I never thought could happen. Maybe that will be one of them.
@Terry Kane proof? 5 years of nothing hes not going to jail !!!!!
@Helene Flamand Sadly, the rest of the world looked upon America in total disbelief with the Donald Trump saga and the elections itself; the George Floyd saga; and then the attack against the Capital. America certainly provided some intense viewing for the rest of the world.
If you have a son in high school who is having girl problems, just tell him that it is ok. Matt Gaetz didn’t have his first high school girlfriend until he was 35.
I don’t think it counts if he had to pay her 😂🤣
LOL High five
He such an ugly mug😝
@P Elayne Poston yeah the first three or four times 😁
@Silky Tp another copy/paste joke you must be amazing at parties 🙄
The people who delighted in telling Democrats to “get over” Hillary losing in 2016.
Are the same people who are re-counting Arizona’s ballots in 2021.
What HIPPOCRITS.
Recount the votes! Sir we already did 100 times, you lost; I said recount them again!
Th
@John Lindblom
No you didn’t get the $200. It has to be in the form of a question. 😅
Answer
“What is hypocrisy ?”
Yeah and y’all still crying about Hilary losing 😂
Hey Stable Genius! 👋
Losing that immunity sure is a b****, huh?
😅😂🤣
@Mainely Statutes of limitations should be frozen for the time a president is in office. The OLC memo isn’t law, therefore there should be a compensatory factor, otherwise a criminal president could get away with anything.
@Linda Broomhead ⬛️ State charges are extremely important. Any future republican president would immediately issue a corrupt pardon to get Trump off the hook. ⬛️ GA is even better than NY because the GA governor does not have clemency powers — it is up to an independent board to recommend pardons. ⬛️
Don’t say stable genius. That’s an insult to horses!
the media is playing you
@Bruce Molyneux yes, Faux and other far right anti-democracy propaganda outlets are playing you. They are like Chinese or Russian propaganda machines! Wake up dude.
It would be magic to see the orange bone head doing some time.
Don’t hold your breath and don’t have another wet dream thinking about it.
Yeah, I’d love it more than anything, but it’s not gonna happen. Those qyoo weirdos would lose their freaking minds.
@Susan Maggiora I also think that he’ll get away with it as he always has. He will never be held accountable for his crimes.
He moved from home state NY to FL saying he couldn’t afford the taxes while President
I don’t know how he’s even able to afford his legal bills now.

@S McDonald that’s a beautiful list, indeed.
@S McDonald easy, he doesn’t pay his lawyers.😄
@Leonie Romanes He has a history of not paying contractors and employees so at least he’s consistent. He’s garbage.
@Sarah F. 4.1 Hope he loses everything including his freedom.
Weasleburg knew when Trump ran for President he had a lot of cooking to do
They never intended to win.
@Sylvie Walker what a great blunder, Trump runs on the platform he didn’t think anyone would buy into just to boost his brand, then wins and creates all kinds of attention to his crooked business practices and possibly ends up in jail…..the greatest comedy of errors
Cooking like Mr. White?
It is time to measure Fat Donnie for an orange jumpsuit!!! Thank God!!!
Gayness around bjbjhy hgt
You are a fine American
LETS GOOOO ENUFF OF THIS JIBB JABB.LETS GET HIM🎻🎸🎷🎺⭐🎹🙏🙏🙏❤🎶
He’s going to show up to court with a walker Harvey Weinstein style lol….
Golf Cart more Like
His narcissistic ego wouldn’t allow to do that because it would make him look like the weak man that he is instead of the strong man he postures to the world at large.
I don’t hear much about Harvey these days. Old fat white guys don’t do particularly well in prison.
Haha Bill Cosby did the same thing 🤣 Like a walker somehow makes you look innocent
I’d say The accountant has already flopped. That’s why it is now criminal.
Ponzi scheme 😷😷🤔🙈🙉🙊😁😁😁😂😥😀
@gary Stoltzenberg Guess what Gary there was no evidence the laptop existed and we are not talking about the Biden’s right?
Yeah possible huh
no 1 is going to jail mabye house arrest youre all sick and this will cause permanent dmg
@gary Stoltzenberg this laptop thing is lame…Rudy Guilani mentions hard drive when he gets raided…if he does have them it will be tossed out because it will be called tainted evidence , even this repair shop that said they had it…the repair guy is blind you would think vision is the biggest part of computer repair , however he let this device go to someone else other than law enforcement….that in itself is illegal that act is and is called identity theft no shop that repairs computers or anything that is a communication device cannot sell a device that someone left and failed to come back for…all info has to be wiped before you sell it…you can thank the shop and Rudy Giuliani if there was actual proof and these 2 idiots didn’t turn this over to law enforcement before they made their claims just dropped the ball…Rudy Guilani knows this yet he pulled this lie which any defense attorney would have a field day tearing this apart…
Trump: “You knew I was a snake when you accepted me.”
Me: Look out Weisselberg, he’s gonna finish you off with the final venomous bite.
the day he will be arrested, I will call in sick, just so I can watch it happen
Because the whole world will celebrate.
👍🏻
The choppers are in the air following a white Ford Bronco! HAHAHA
Partying in the streets!
LOL … you and about 100 million others as well.
“I like people who don’t get caught okay” Donald Trump
Exactly!! he doesn’t like suckers or losers.
He’s a pretend mob boss. I like mob bosses who don’t get captured and go to jail
the media is playing you
I’m surprised the fat Orange grifter asn’t been wacked yet
😂😂😂😂😂
“allen, it’s terrible what they’re doing to us, allen. allen, I just need 17800 more. Just 17800 more, allen. if you just do that, allen, they’ll like you”
Begging is a terrible suit for the fat orange man. Maybe fluorescent jumpsuits will look better on him.
The reason for the insurrection….. he was terrified of losing immunity. He didn’t care who was killed or hurt.
That’s the truth!
You are soooo right.
That is the only reason , I agree 💯
