I speak for all Americans when I say Trump belongs in prison.
Actually. No.
Umm, that would be Resident Biden & son..research…
The volume of documents indicates Trump had been doing this over a significant time period, not something that had happened in error on moving day.
What bothers me most is the empty document jackets labeled *TOP SECRET*. Where did the secret material go?
in Putin’s hands…
@Level Up I am afraid, you may be correct.
@John Buckles I am the last person ANYONE would ever describe as FULL OF THEMSELVES EVER. But again, WHY let facts get in the way of a cruel comment. You go Big Guy, and I’ll enjoy my new ride.
I bet you know…. Trying to play it 😎…. As if you aren’t all, ‘mine mine mine mine…’ as you spread them about your dimly lit flat… anticipating a nice couple bottles of red
I agree with Bolton. They should have done a warrant for every residence he has because I can guarantee you that he has documents elsewhere. Otherwise he better start explaining why he has empty folders that are marked classified and what those documents were.
There’s potentially some in a 45 bar somewhere. There’s a video on you tube. PS trump is yet to, to my knowledge, remove presidential seals from his bedminster golf course.
When the President calls out fascism and embraces democracy, if you feel threatened by that, then President Biden isn’t the problem, you are. Maybe you need to take a long hard look at your own moral compass.
@Jason O’rafferty Get off this. You wanted attention and you got some.
@Skip Hoffenflaven get off deez 🌰🥜🌰
but her emails…
Guys don’t waste your time and energy on people(trolls) like Jason O’rafferty. It’s obvious the intentions of the troll is to do nothing but invoke a reactionary response. It’s pathetic. Stay focused and vote vote vote.
So, does this mean Trump needs to be classified and kept in a special compartmentalized viewing room, i.e. a solitary prison cell?
@Mournstar Wooo Hooo . . . I love jokes . . . OK OK OK . . . *”I don’t know . . . How many?”* . . . I got a good one for you too, but first, let’s hear your joke . . .
@Hany Messiha AN ARTICLE? I WANT A POLICE REPORT
@Mournstar It’s late, I’m tired, so if this comes out wrong, you have my apologies.
Macro-economical models have shown that there were many factors that contributed to significant inflation that was experienced worldwide. In other words . . . these high prices were NOT caused by corruption.
Also, as for Fascism, this is what Google says;
*Fascism:* a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a *dictator* controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government.
Questions
1) What has happened to each and every person who EVER disagreed with Trump while he was in power?
2) Which party wants to control a) Abortion, b) gender affirmation or whatever it’s called, with which I disagree, incidentally, but I’m not ramming my opinion down anyone’s throat.
3) Which party DAILY insults people? Demeans them? Threatens VIOLENCE against them AND threatens to “Cut of the heads” of their children? . . .
So, you see . . . it’s not about *”Democrats”* or *”Republicans”* . . . it’s about a Neo Nazi GOON Squads CALLING THEMSELVES Republicans, but aren’t really, but it’s like people say; “It’s the squeaky wheel that gets the oil”, and these people are loud, and they have a PhD on how to motivate people through *Anger* and *Hatred* and the *Fear* of not being able to put *Food on the Table for my Kids* . . . and the list goes on and on and THEN they say Hey ! ! ! Look ! ! ! They’re the ones responsible ! ! ! Go Get ‘Em ! ! ! All the while, they’re sitting back in their living room, counting all the money they’re making OFF OF YOU, and some of you will even go to jail, like the 846 that Trump “Promised to Pardon” if elected . . . you might want to ask Trump if he even KNOWS how many were arrested and still awaiting trial, and while you’re at it, ask him if he even knows how long the longest sentence handed out was to one of the more recently sentenced victims of Trump’s words . . . I’ll guarantee you he doesn’t know, because he doesn’t care. To quote Trump; “I don’t care, they’re not there to hurt *ME.* ” . . .
Clearly the Grand jury now has to call Trump in and ask where the missing classified documents from the empty folders are.
@Maria Velikonja But if he is a patriot, he will do everything he can to help secure sensitive defense information, so of course he will testify. Won’t he?
@Brenda Cowling only if. Unlike the NY civil case where he was called and took the 5th 400 times, he cannot be compelled to testify in his own criminal case or even be called to the stand
Where’s the classified docs?? Trump: “I gave some to Putin, Xi, MBS of Saudi Arabia, and Kim Jun Un. They in turn paid me big bucks and a ticket for asylum in their country. Ain’t I a great Deal Maker??”
If this doesn’t cause for alarm for those who love this country and the democracy that lies here in
I don’t know what will!! 😳
USA CITIZENS WAKE UP!!!

Vote blue! Vote Trump’s maga republican party out of Congress! 💙🇺🇸✌
I’m pretty sure the missing top secret documents are somewhere in the wrong hands, up for grabs for the highest bidder. This is absolutely disgusting.
💯 sure on that
@Tim Johnson oh no, it’s disgusting, terrifying and outrageous! We must go over everything trump has done for the last 2 years, every detail. We have to figure out what happened to those missing docs.
Do you know what else is really disgusting? There’s a process for handling these docs, those aides knew those docs didn’t get turned back in. Why was nothing said or done??!!
Not y mention scary !!!
It isn’t “settled law” because it’s a no brainer. Lawmakers aren’t required to anticipate his level of audacity. The fact that she even said that just shows she’s preparing to give him what he wants cause obviously he has dirt on her. She wouldn’t have her position if he didn’t!
Dirt? I have come to believe that is very likely true of her and all the sickening sycophants who bend inexplicably to Trump’s will! I sure hope there is a vigorous and immediate appeal of any order this so-called judge may make approving a Special Master
Judges often ask questions in the Socratic philosophy. Just because a judge asked this question is not an indication of which way they are leaning. They’re often just trying to verify an understanding they already have.
—– > Even if Judge Canon thinks executive privilege is not a settled matter, the Crime Fraud exception should nullify any claim Trump might make.
@Texmenistan She was recommended by the Federalist Society. She was also deemed unqualified for the position by the American Bar Association.
The question is what has he already done with these documents and how much has he already earned or benefitted from
And how many copies have been made and handed out already?
Princess Saudi Arabia gave team Trump $2 billion. Last minute business deals. And they were just there at Mar-a-Lago a few weeks ago.
and did he make digital copies, where has his private jet gone lately? He can re-sell the same documents more than once when copied. I suspect the delay in each branch of classified documents was to allow for them to be copied and distributed. So obvious. Did he slip a USB drive to the Saudi prince at their golf meeting last month?
Having a “master” or not having a master does not change the “fact” that he “illegally” possessed classified, secret, and top secret documents he wasn’t supposed to have in his home. And by having possession of those documents, he broke the law – end of story!
its stunning that this judge is saying executive privilege could be held by a former president against the executive branch itself as if this isn’t obviously not a case where that would apply even if one did exist.
@madgodloki there must not have been any missing documents or they would have noticed it long ago.
@Arnold Linder that is some serious denial bud. lol
Trump wants a special master, because one man is easier to blackmail than a whole team.
When a former Federal prosecutor, now judge, asks “What harm could it do to have a special master?” That tells me she is going to side with Trump. Again. He’s going to get his way. Again.
Criminals need to start protesting and demanding the same treatment that this guy gets. He gets more forgiveness, more opportunities, more second chances, than anyone else alive.
@RONALD VAUGHN didn’t have to point out the female part of judge it really didn’t add anything to the conversation to point out that it’s a woman judge.
Trump wants a special master because it’s easier to blackmail one man than a whole team of them.
He’s a BLACKMAIL artist. DUH.
I just hope people start to realize how incredibly dangerous and irresponsible this is at the very least. Keeping top secret intel in your home in itself is illegal…. Keeping them at a resort that anyone could have access to is downright idiotic
You’re so smart! I wish more people spoke up like you. If you aren’t a lawyer, you should be a lawyer! Because… like, wow!!!
There should be no special master. If there is, the special master needs to be supervised by DOJ. This whole thing is truly sickening. 🤬
@Richard Hammer oh how about you tell us what’s on hunters laptop that’s anywhere equal to national security.
@Richard Hammer butt butt Hunters laptop mommy Hunter lives rent free in my head Mommy Waaaaaaaaaaaa Waaaaaaaaaaaa
The ‘harm’ is that there are possibly lives at risk because of missing classified documents.

Here’s the full video that explains this video…
103 documents at 5 years each…
plus another 11,000 at 1 year each…
That’s a lot of prison time!
Not long enough
He has had 4 years in office and two out to sell any damned information he wants! Why has it not occurred to anyone sooner that a con-man would be selling anything for a lump of cash? This is NOOOOO surprise to me.
I lost a friend in 2016 February before he even secured the nomination but it was clear to me that he would. I was screaming this then.
I would ask the security detail who protected him for 2 years in maralago, did they never realize, that there are top secret documents??? why no one of them reported? who was the last person who signed out the documents, and never signed them back in? Chain of custody was broken and no one raised alarm???
Hello, impressed with your profile and personality. I also admire your good sense of humor over here. I don’t normally write in the comment section, but I think you deserve this compliment.
We certainly knew what he grifter would do with the classified documents. Use them for monetary and/or political advantage. Or, if need be, use them as a blackmail/threat to any wanting to indict him. Period! Exclamation Points!!
They need to search every inch of every property he ever goes to, including his kid’s residences. Also check his phone(s) and search for burner phones especially. This is a huge crime and it’s incomprehensible that he’s not in prison already.
