He's under 74 indictments and he's out there telling insane lies everyday.

Lying his ass off about the Bidens.

Telling his fucking idiots that we are sending troops to Ukraine and we should withhold aid until they investigate Hunter Biden (calling susan collins)

He's on every goddamn news channel every day 24/7.

This is not the America I was raised in and I can't fucking stand it.

Thousands and thousands of nuclear weapons,…have brought only more fear, little security, only MADness, no peace…useless things.

Use the fuel for nuclear power plants in every developing nation, power it up and power down imperial colonialism, it’s old and it’s not working on the former colonies anymore,

Just like that bastard Steve Bannon, only worse, Trump will almost certainly be allowed to remain at large "pending appeal", until every last long-drawn-out appeal all the way up to the SCOTUS is run out.

If Trump wins in 2024, he never serves any time at all.

If Trump loses in 2024, he won't even see house arrest until at least 2025, I'd guess.

What the Democrats are thinking or more poignantly the powers that be. President Biden, AG Garland, Senate Majority Leader Schumer.

If they think silence on their part helps them, letting the GOP bite at their ankles and DJT do all he can to start a war…which is what it is now, they are mistaken.

As you say DJT is under 74 indictments, arrest is imminent. DJT says if arrested there is going to be violence everywhere like no has ever seen in history…openly threatening the United States of America in this farcical presidential campaign. This in and of itself should be enough for a gag order at the least.

Who knows what the world is thinking but guaranteed they are not thinking this country is stable.

DJT should have had a gag order at the very least or arrested and jailed for the deaths of over 1.1million Americans if justice really worked. He should not be allowed to make these threats constantly and continue to cause turmoil.

For campaign finance violation of 130k hush money payment (it might still happens)

Emoluments violations but SCOTUS let the clock run out on the.

Obstruction of Justice- 10 counts.

Abuse of Office- Mueller.

Negligent Homicide in the deaths of over 1.1 million American. He lied on tape he knew full well COVID was real and deadly but he wanted to “play it down”. Did all he could to slow/stop the response to it. He was the single biggest source of misinformation about COVID.

Attacking the Capitol- This was on TV. There are clips on YouTube if you missed it.

Stealing National Secrets- He’s admitted to it.

Most of this was just in his last yr… there is still the “find me 11780 votes” pandora’s box of election interference and fraud to deal with between him and a number of his minions.

Even after all this the phucker is still allowed to do his best to incite anyone he can find in his endless threats to the country, the president and citizens. No need to suspend the Constitution the cs did all on his own.

When CBS news comes on the hour. Steve Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaython is the worst.

I also enjoy muting MSNBC as often as I can when they play a recording of traitor running his mouth.

It is not going to be quick or easy. traitor has spent his life manipulating the law, courts, people. All of us who are healthy, and don't tolerate abuse in our lives are finding it hard to live with an abuser who enjoys such publicity. We don't understand why his admirers tolerate it and we don't understand why he's imposed on the rest of us.

The America you grew up in. It's just out in the open now and on full display because "no one saw this coming!" and it's been allowed to fester for years and years and YEARS!

America has been chocked full of racist, religious extremists and greedy ass wealthy people since it's inception. See slavery and ask Native Americans, Hispanics, Italians, Japanese (remember the interment camps?) and Irish and any Middle Easterner what they think about American racism.

Religious persecuting, see the witch trials and all the horrible bullshit the puritans did, and again, ask the Native Americans what they think. Do a quick google search on the current religious right. Anyone but me remember when GW Bush flew in from Vacation and the congress convened an "emergency" session of congress at MIDNIGHT so they could pass a law that applied to ONE citizen so they could override Terry Schavio's husband and keep her on life support indefinitely? Westboro Baptist Church ring a bell?

The forming of the KKK, America denying entry to Jews during WWII, American Nazi sympathizers, Jim Crow, lynchings, disproportionate application of the laws, see minority jail rates VS whites for drug arrests. Last but not least, greedy ass wealthy people, again see plantation owners and other "whites" afraid those "dirty minorities" might get something, and while were at it, we'll fleece EVERYONE. Poverty, underemployment, next to impossible access to education coupled with redlining for MANY minority groups and that's pretty self explanatory. So yeah, this IS the America you grew up in. You're just now realizing the fantasy wasn't real.

It is. Lynchings were common in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's. Jim Crow was in place in the 50's and 60's AND 70's. Redlining was common. Black were being run out of "white neighborhoods" Gays were killed for being gay in the 60's and 70's. ROE didn't exist until 1973. America didn't give a shit that MILLIONS were dying in the 80's because of AIDS because it was "a gay disease". And I could go on an on. Like I said, you're just now realizing the fantasy wasn't real.

It's being destroyed because the PEOPLE fell into a lull and kept electing the very people who were telling us for decades EXACTLY what they were going to do when given the chance.
