But of course he did! And he should be a candidate for a firing squad, not for POTUS. Meanwhile the DOJ has the goods on him and allows him to fly all around the country, stirring up trouble. It is embarrassing to be a citizen and a taxpayer and watch this endless circus.
This has been going on since day 1 of his presidency and almost everyone turned a blind eye. He's never played by the rules and if we thought his first term was a felonious fraudulent shit storm disaster, a second term would even be more horrific to us and the rest of the free world.
If I remember correctly, there were some Democrats in Congress and/or Senate who filed with the courts for his violations of the Emoluments clause, as related to his D.C. hotel and other foreign dignitaries’ stays at his properties. The court ruled against them, due to the vagueness of the Emoluments clause, and the fact that there is no type of enforcement or penalty as written. Can anyone else weigh in on this, please?
What you and we will learn is the identity *of congress critters and other enablers who've conspired against our country and democratic governments around the world that's been trending to save their master's and their own azzes.
And the grift goes on. The Constitution is very clear about this. (Emoluments Clause) This has been known since his inauguration. It seems like the Constitution is being used as toilet paper.
Let's include the side-hustle of son-in-law & favorite daughter, "assistants" in WH each receiving many unusual & quasi-legal "bribes" or pay-offs, including one historic "investment" of $2B to Kushner from KSA (Saudi Kingdom), secured BEFORE he left office. For what? Connected to missing Top Secret documents? BTW where-tf ARE Jared, Ivanka & Melania?

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I don't even have any words left except swearing. Those words will not change donald. I can only hope karma acts swiftly and thoroughly. Plus, I am going to vote HARD.
Holy shit... I hope this is enough. But of course they will find some reason to defend his blatant corruption. I think he's finally going down. We can only hope. I think corruption, abortion, and democracy are the triumvirate. We need to beat those drums relentlessly. We can't let any republican win anything. It's a fascist white nationalist christian movement that needs to be nipped in the bud. Thank you Mary for all you do...

Thank you, Mary. We are here for you and back you 110%, always. we need to stop him from getting elected, can’t count on impeachment. If the dems control the House, they can impeach but if the senate is controlled by the GOP, it won’t get him out of office. This man is despicable. None of this is surprising, so many of us “knew” this and yet, here we are and nothing will happen. The GOP would rather impeach Joe Biden for something, anything. What a world we live in.
The ONE THING donald CAN'T escape (at least not forever) is the toll his obesity, age, fast-food diet, stress, minimal sleep, etc. HAVE to be taking on his health. He has weasled his way out of the law so far, transgression, after transgression, after transgression, ad nauseam. Perhaps MOTHER NATURE will intervene where our government and judicial system have so far failed.

Watch Ari Melbur’s show from tonight, featuring Richard Painter. This was covered extensively.
Painter didn’t hold anything back. Beyond disgusted.
That's what I recall as well.
Me, too!
I recall the same thing.
You're correct, that did happen but unfortunately like you stated Kris, there weren't any consequences. Thank you for refreshing my memory.
I remember that!
I totally agree.
Patience Jack; there's a far wider net cast than you know.
"Oh, the truth to you I'll tell..."
Wow! Every day is SPHD.. S#*t Piled Higher and Deeper..and we probably don’t know half of it. Thanks, Mary!

We don't, yet.

Fascinating information regarding Sons in Laws. What a perfect setup.
If I were them - Jared, Ivanka, Don Jr., etc., I'd be headed for a country that has no extradition treaty with the U.S. or allies....
I don't know how much more of this I can take. I don't even have any words left except swearing. Those words will not change donald. I can only hope karma acts swiftly and thoroughly. Plus, I am going to vote HARD.
And if something doesn't happen soon, I will be drinking hard liquor.
Thankfully beer works and a little wine at bookclub. There are times tho...
Lol paligranny !
Is this a REALLY Earthshaking surprise ( with all due respect ) ?
No, not to most of us; However, the fact that "proof" that's court worthy, is big, and great news !
The media HAS seemed like they're more trouble than they're worth. & my late journalist uncle would agree !!
And he’s already lying about this to cover it up by sending his “best and brightest”--umm (checks notes) Eric Trump--to defend him 😂
Oh, spare me!
😂 😂 😂

Triumvirate, yes, I like it. The dishonesty on display by him and his cult is staggering.
What about Russia?
He's been laundering money for Russian organized crime for year's.
Good question, Robyn. Donald wanted a building built in Moscow.

Great quote choice Lisa, brava !

He has broken every law in the book and he is still walking free. How do I care? Government doesn’t
Only the stone wallers. Don't let them bully you. Stand strong on behalf of this beautiful country, not the mean people or you are giving them power.
As a country we need to do the right thing.
They aren't even going after him on the emoluments. It looks like he got away with this. As usual.
What else is new ? Just more evidence.
EXACTLY.
