Remember when the GOP acted like they cared that the President might be receiving bribes. They launched an investigation into the Clintons and Bidens over it and managed to prove none of their claims. Now Trump takes bribes in broad daylight and they remain silent.

Emoluments Clause.
This is expressly illegal.
Republicans just don't care.

It's just like David Frum said.
Republicans have completely given up on Democracy.

Maybe you do not care much about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.

Wow imagine that. A trump cult member trying to totally change the topic away from trump's flagrant and treasonous corruption.

to defend criminals attacking federal agents....

#15 | Posted by shrimptacodan

If they're a republican they're a patriot fighting for their country who deserve a pardon. If they're a democrat they're a criminal who deserves jail.

#21 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2025-05-14 02:51 PM

what have democrats done?.

Who cares?

The Dems lost.

Dems are like the poor puppy waking up after getting neutered, the drugs are wearing off, and they're figuring out their balls are gone. All they can do is lick their empty sack and look sad as all hell (heck).

And here you are, still whining about the Dems. Is it the increasing dementia or did you actually get through life this way?

Republicans traded in their morals values and integrity for a racist spoiled billionaire.

The corruption is real.

And no one other than the billionaires are winning.

I don't expect trumpers to do anything other than feel like they're somehow winning too.

It's pathetic, delusional and disgusting.

#24 | Posted by ClownShack at 2025-05-14 03:21 PM

$300 million from China.

$400 million from Qatar.

Trump isn't even hiding it.

Because he knows deplorable Trumping MAGAts will defend his corruption.

... The $400 million jet that President Trump says the Air Force plans to accept from Qatar would be worth 100 times more than every other presidential gift from a foreign nation combined since 2001, according to an Axios analysis of State Department data. ...

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
----- and fairies, tell me, where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding, economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money? No, not poor me

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Oh, yeah

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
