  1. *Trump:* Lord of the Lies and a wannabe King with a *”God complex”;* An unshakable belief characterized by consistently inflated feelings of personal ability, privilege, or _infallibility._ *”The Chosen One,”* with a dash of *Dementia,* spectacular *Narcissistic* personality disorder, resentful *Envy,* childish *Entitlement,* unbridled *Corruption* and a *Swamp of Greed.* His minions, the GOP *{Government Of Putin}, extorting The Ukraine,* will circle their wagons and protect Trump, so they can continue to line their pockets, hiding the looting of our country in plain site, while 45 acts as their distraction. While corruption is commonplace in government, this administration takes corruption to a *Super Nova Level of Thievery.*

    1. People that are so blind are still following him as a leader, what’s wrong with you people wake up! He’s not a leader ,he’s a orange swap monster.

  2. The only way *Trump* will *abdicate his throne* is by being physically *dragged away, kicking & screaming.* 🐵 👑💃

    1. @Doreen Achtymichuk : In the Digital Age one could actually hang the Arch-villain and his Partners in Crime from the tallest Redwoods in California, place a number of ‘top of the range’ WEBCAMS strategically and watch the Bald “Legal” Eagle and his/her buddies [representing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of course!] eat their bones clean!

    2. @Keith Pieterse oh … we’re used to a lot of that bloodthirstiness In Canada ! of course, it’s usually animals ….. but this FITS !! it does !

    3. @Melissa Graham oh ! don’t even think that ! the fact that he says something so diabotical, OUT LOUD, so Americans can repeat it …. is horrendous ! tune him out. stop listening. he has already warped a segment of your country. don’t let him warp you, take a piece of your humanity. we will ALWAYS rise above such evil !!

  3. Biggest cover-up in US history…..and the Republicans are in the centre of it all and yet still support this mess of a so-called president.

    1. brentvfreiberger Brent, with all of Russia’s machinations and interference, I’d agree with Alessia .. Trump is illegitimate … FAKE, Phony … . Ergo, “so-called president”!

    2. @Kermit T. Frog I don’t think so. Removing and persecuting the corruption in the parties will trim them down but will lead to new ones or renewing of them.

    3. @Stefan Ionescu I am not at all sure what you mean by “corruption.” If you mean get the money out of politics, I agree. If you mean a purity test. I disagree. The two party system worked quite well back when the parties were ideologically diverse. What we have seen is that the more homogeneous Republicans and Democrats get, the less effective they are at governing.

  4. Ten-ten listening. Sound the alarm, bring on the brigade of patriots to protect the Constitution! Patrons of #UkrainianClownPosse have violated FEC Security, at the behest of Pinocchio politicians!

  5. The public is turning on Trump. Republicans will go with the wind and the wind is blowing towards bye bye time. They will be forced to impeach. He is going to be removed.

    1. @Colin Cleveland na, its people like you that cry when someone doesnt agree with you. You cry via fallacious reasoning and insults and then wonder why in 2020 Trump wins, russia was a hoax, biden and the dems have been selling out their positions, and Barr starts arresting the people you blindly follow from mainstream news.😘

    1. @Florida Crypto R speaking of money, wheres all the money trump took from the military to build the wall? the contractor was on a broadcast last night screaming because he’s sitting in limbo. strange things are afoot

    2. @jewell charles …. OMG, I did not hear about that lolol. Thank you so much ❤️. Do you have a link or can tell me where to look for that please. I am kinda upset with you though. You made me laugh so hard lmao that I spit up my ice coffee over me so gee thanks lmao 😂🤣 😂

  6. are they americans? are there still americans in the trump admin government?
    or are they blowing the whistle about american whistle blowers so moscow can give orders to handle it?

    1. the ones no on the take are scared of exposure,the few that arent are scared because they know too much.so it’s easy for them to be led to slaughter,and take us with them, no one likes to be alone at the end.

    1. And it seems like it will be a Michael Bay’ish finale to a hard and grand, Spielberg’y, Peter Jackson’y saga. Just like GoT.

    1. lol,thats a good zinger. darn, it is hard to rephrase things, certain words I now have trouble using anymore.sigh

  7. “When it rains, it cascades.”
    And once the curtain is down and people sees the tiny man behind it, the fear of him vanish in an instant.

    Let the rain flush Trump out.

    1. Marc Emson I feel your struggle to get something about the rhythm of the falling rain into your comment.
      (Rhythm of the Falling Rain by The Cascades 1963).

    2. that’s how Hitler successfully killed millions, brainwashing the weak, then terrorizing the strong, fear is a powerful weapon.it lets the people know,the republicans are weak

  8. The evidence is not in dispute. We have a Presidential confession on live TV of multiple foreign interference invitations. What’s the hold up as it relates to Trump? The man’s a clear and present danger to America its National security and the world. The rest can be dealt with as the chips continue to fall.

    1. potus does love to brag,every five minutes.tweet tweet, tweet tweet maybe he’s really a looney bird in disguise

    1. @Cicakkibin They’re prepared to sacrifice their reputations ( the lawyers) to play the delay and get him reelected game. It’s insane!

    2. @Richie Tattersall exactly. They have to vote filing charges and then the Republicans get to issues subpoenas too
      Dems sre are corrupt and you literally just contradicted yourself and admotted I was right. You ooze BS.

    1. And their usual supply of curse words and But what about, Hillary s e-mail, what about Obama and what about the crooked Dems. Yeah there will be a lot of that going around, and more.

  9. Nothing to hide, huh? Middle school teachers are covering this in real time. It’s so cut and dry that 11-14 year olds see it in plain sight. Let that sink in for a moment….

    1. It’s one of the many issues that Betsy Devos was hired to fix. Uppity teachers teaching kids to think for themselves!

    2. 11-14? I think children of 5 and up are wondering why he’s so angry, lying, bullying, hateful and aggressive all the time.

    1. But there aren’t so many are they?? And they have to hide behind whistleblower laws, and still Trump and the GOP senators want to identify them(specifically against the law), and prosecute them threatening death penalty.
      So yeah, sure lots of honest patriots standing up and speaking out…..not at all!!!

    1. The more he big ups himself the worse the situation is …What was he the other day …forget it it was just crazy ranting anyway but so cringe worthy I fell off the computer chair laughing at the fool.
      Who are the idiots who voted for this Dotard anyway?? C’mon you losers put your hand up. lmfao

    2. Of course they are alarmed. They know that the DOJ is investigating the Russian collusion hoax, that the Dems were involved, and that Ukraine has the server info. No other reason to be so alarmed for pushing for a clean up of corruption in the Ukraine. As the Pres of Ukraine said, nothing occurred in the meeting…..

  10. 45 is the worst in America history, it’s an EMBARRASSMENT to have this scammer corrupted man in the WH.
