See Putin
You should come to Turkey to watch kleptogracy at work.
🤬😡😡
Time for legislation that will put teeth in the emoluments clause.
Because in the US corruption has no consequences
FELON PEDO TRUMP IS A TREASONOUS CROOK AND CHILD RAPIST. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOCKED UP DECADES AGO. MUSK AND HIM HACKED OUR ELECTION - HES NOT EVEN OUR PRESIDENT! LOCK HIM UP ALREADY!!!
The Big Dick (Nixon) was very corrupt by American standards. The Grifter in Chief is 3rd world dictator corrupt.
The law only works when those in charge obey it. They have not in the U.S. for some time now and the people continue to tolerate it.
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨SEIZE ALL OF IT ‼️‼️‼️‼️🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Can't individual states go after him for this? I am sure there are leverage points for states to take him to court on mis representing himself or false testimony or some on these cases that cross their state lines.
If only we had checks and balances against suck fuckery.
He's been violating the emoluments clause since day one of his first administration. Congress wouldn't stop him then and they won't stop him now - IT'S UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO PUT ASDIE THEIR DIFFERENCES ANDEND THIS REGIME!
..by rights, everyone involved, both givers and receivers, need to be vanished.
Pretty clear to me that having all law enforcement report to the executive is a bad idea after 250 years; the found fathers never imagined an entire party acting with no integrity.
The next POTUS must seize all his and his families assets. Then set up a committee like they did with Hilarys Email thing to investigate it all.
13 billion seconds is 412 years. Yes, years...
When WE seize those assets in 2 years, it will go a long way towards reparations to all the people harmed by ICE.
Could you guys do a thing on State Capture please. Please. We are in the throws and no one knows what it is.
I have never seen nor heard of a dictator willingly stepping aside or when forced out, go into exile poor. The people are tho.
They are
Republicans in Congress enable this violation of the Emoluments Clause! 🤬
"Often also kleptocrats"? Never been an autocrat, better say "dictator" though, that has not been corrupt, resorting to nepotism and favoritism as a preferred way to form alliances.
Now what.
The law needs to change so that people who ignore court orders can be arrested and jailed.
I feel the emoluments clause should be enforced with something stronger than the honor system.🤔
Everything that orange asshole and his asshole boys have done apparently has been done in the open so it's okay... you know because of transparency according to all the shitty defenders.
Everybody talks about the billions Trumps got, but the interesting part is what the other parties got in return!
And what are ya going you do about it?
He's a known traitor. Ask Jack Smith.
It has to be stopped.
MAGA! It’s fucking real! Shalom
The most corrupt crime family in the world Still Over two more years to go 2028 He will have that jet gift ready to go He can’t stay in America He will go to jail What country are they bribing to build a resort for him to retire Oh ya That doesn’t have an extradition treaty with America
Republicans are destroying America and America's democracy Republicans are hypocrites and Christian racists Trump is a traitor
$13B translates to $13,000M of our tax dollars. What family DESERVES THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY?
ALL TRUE. We need a separate commission to investigate the obscene corruption of Trump & family & ALL WHO ENABLED THIS CORRUPTION!
he breaks a lot of laws but he OWNS the DOJ and CONGRESS so NO CONSEQUENCES
This is exactly why all candidates dealing with highly classified information must earn a security clearance…not be given one simply because they were elected. tRump & the majority of his administration would not be in office, if they simply had been vetted for clearance.
Truer words were never said about the trump crime family!!!
Have you only just worked out that the USA is now a kleptocracy?
He doesn’t care and won’t stop until Congress stops him
"It's not a bribe or emolument, it's an investment."
He has also been stealing tax payers money by funneling no bid contract worth billions to his own sons. This is corruption and criminal. When will this crime family be held accountable?
You ain't just whistling Dixie.... bsky.app/profile/prop...
SCOTUS (as corrupt briber takers themselves) have failed us on supporting and defending the Constitution in this area. Hospitality, gratuities, political contributions, and thinly veiled "investments" are all bribes & emoluments. Now we have more corruption than the worst mobsters ever.
👍
Laws that are not enforced are just suggestions.
If it wasn’t about destroying the U.S. and establishing a new world order of atrocities. This wouldn’t be happening.. Greed and selfishness is not new, anymore than compromise from blackmail.
private political donations are a national security risk those donating could be acting as middlemen for a hidden source no one gets money for free
Lock them (taco family) up in the ICE camp after letting all people “staying” there out.
Hang ‘em
He is not working as a president, just the sleazy business men he always was, calling himself president, with a big army, taxpayer, and a government working force every business men dreams of. It works for him and his friends and 300 miljoen people ar being robbed of everything they have.
Not enough people paid attention when Donnie Jnr admitted on camera that the Trump family “get all the money we want from Russia”. Now their treasonous actions have raked the Trump family in billions of dollars.
ACTION to stop legalization of bribery. indivisible.org/actions/stop...
For those who TRULY care about preserving our democracy & having a secure voting system, you can now read Jonathan Simon's book, Code Red: Computerized Elections and the War on American Democracy, free as a pdf on his website. You now have no excuse to ignore this. codered2014.com/wp-content/u...
If these claims are accurate, they deserve a thorough, transparent investigation. Accountability should apply to everyone, regardless of political party
It is sad that most leaders are in it for the money and not for a cause... why even have elections 🥺
As massive as the corruption is, it obfuscates that our military has been depleted of 900 years of service and expertise and all non-dominionist chaplaincy and tier one powers turned directly inwards at Americans with a vague, wide net.
They all need to be investigated.
Its A fungus, it just grows and devours everything in its path
Oh, please include Biden and his kickback money from Ukraine when you say that. All politicians are crooked. All of them.
From what my eyes see and my ears hear we are way past the point of bribes…what’s the killing of innocent people??? Come on now folks.
There is no doubt in my mind that the current president is owned by Russia, China, and all the Arab countries in the Middle East. There were conflicts of interests way back in 2015 when he launched his candidacy the first time. Things have gotten much much worse now.
I hope they are doing like Walmart and waiting until he hits some super felony level and they are going to say he owes trillions in taxes and arrests him like Al Capone.
One day. One day. One day. they may all be jailed. If a real DOJ is ever operational again
😉Thanks to Bitcoin. I mean, Patel can sic his dogs on tracing Bitcoin transactions &/or account holders ala Nancy Guthrie ransom demand, but WE ALL KNOW, when it comes to their fearless leader, ALL TRANSACTIONS are impossible to try & track down, especially knowing where & from whom they came from😉😉
Because there is no one with the stones to stop him. Newsom would but he can't do it alone.
Every politician with $1 million or more in the bank is taking bribes! The Left defends Ilhan Omar and many others that take bribes and steal, while trying to act like Trump has done something that the Democrats and Republicans in our government aren’t doing! All bribes need to stop!
The Emoluments Clause was ABANDONED (specifically for Trump and family, along with shame) in 2017. It needs specific supporting legislation. If denocracy survives this.
