    1. @Jason Boyce and he was decent man with integrity. Shady, deviant, lawless,currupt and evil swamp worms can’t work with someone like that.

    2. So let’s not impeach Trump……or prosecute him for tax fraud, contempt of Congress, witness intimidation, interfering with an election, inciting insurrection, or crimes against humanity for willfuly spreading a deadly virus and spreading disinformation about it…. because he’s no longer President. In fact, let’s not prosecute murderers either, because they were not actually committing the murder when they were charged later…….makes perfect sense to me! Look at me! Thinking like a Republican! ….. going across the aisle! Kumbaya!

    3. @Augie Rockero I sense…sarcasm. Perhaps you should put your tin foil hat on the rabbit ear antenna where it belongs and join reality. He was not convicted because he’s innocent, isn’t that they said about Hillary?
      Btw, if you really want to get caught up in a conspiracy theory, check out how the Democrats know that vaccinated people can infect other people and ask why they then did not want the elderly being vaccinated first. Talk about complicit…wow! 🤓

    4. @Scott Butler What you just said proves only one thing, MAGAT—-Clorox margaritas and NEWSMAX are a deadly combination!

    1. Does anybody need examples for “Envy, Vexation and Vengeance? Just check out my playlist with the same name!

    2. @Lisa Work just check their connections, transactions and involvement in kid trafficking stories. This will shed more light on their leniency towards most hideous, repulsive and evil criminals while imposing harsh law for nothing

    3. So let’s not impeach Trump……or prosecute him for tax fraud, contempt of Congress, witness intimidation, interfering with an election, inciting insurrection, or crimes against humanity for willfuly spreading a deadly virus and spreading disinformation about it…. because he’s no longer President. In fact, let’s not prosecute murderers either, because they were not actually committing the murder when they were charged later…….makes perfect sense to me! Look at me! Thinking like a Republican! ….. going across the aisle! Kumbaya!

    1. @n k agreed. I think term limits but they need decent benefits/pay tho because if they dont make enough they are more likely to take bribes. thats the thought process behind the high salaries

    2.

    3. I think our Founders didn’t intend for the people to be so lazy, stupid, gullible, and ill-informed.

    4. @n k “If you voted for me, darn it, man, you deserve to be an American,” Biden said at a press conference this morning. “Thank you for your service, and welcome to America. You’re all Americans in my book — clean, articulate ones.”
      “Now, let’s build back better!” Biden pulled out his phone and played “Despacito” in honor of the votes he received.

  1. So when the people of this country see how corrupt the system is the next step would be? Maybe uniting under comment grounds and putting a stop to it. Remember it says we the people

    1. Seems very strange to rule that lawsuits filed when Chump was in office but now is out of office are ‘moot” and thus dismissed now. And even stranger that the SCOTUS would wipe out any lower court ruling on the lawsuits. Let’s see what the numerous legal scholars have to say about this. Seems like the SCOTUS just did not want to deal with politically charged matters in today’s environment and found a suspect way to exit. But as a lawyer friend pointed out to me … the law is what the judge says it is … and that certainly seems to be true now.

  2. HAS AMERICA DECIDED ALL POLITICIANS ARE ABOVE THE
    LAW!! I guess laws are just a joke then? Oh wait, only for the people at the top.

    1. @T0PAZ Thank you. I don’t usually respond in such a manner, but I’m so done with the endless racial disparagement. So done.

    2. @Christine King Oh I must have misunderstood your comment, though it was a short one.
      I’m also tired of people seeing race in absolutely everything. It is just obnoxious.

    3. Kindly contact CYBERWOOTENTRACKER@GMAIL.COM you can know who is real or not kindly contact this company, helped me recovered my lost money things like know about if anyone is trying to act smarter with you can also hack anyone’s phone to know if your partner is cheating on you they are very efficient and trust worthy today,….

  3. The emoluments clause is meant to keep powerful people from doing corrupt things while in office. But because they are powerful people in office, they don’t face any consequences. Does anyone else see the problem with this?

    1. @Marci Sunshine Nah, we know about the notes between CIA director Brennan and Hillary and the forged dossier to sabotage Trump’s campaign.

    2. @T0PAZ Hey, man. With all due respect you need to lay off the conspiracy theories. It’s destroying our country. Everyone here should agree that Hillary sucks, but we’re talking about trump’s obvious violation of the emoluments clause. QAnon/Trump supporter or not, he did commit crimes and we should stay on topic.

    3. @ManDudeYeah With all due respect, I am citing information which is publicly available. Not conspiracies.
      Trump has lost vast personal wealth over the last 4 years. Hitting him with an emoluments clause is absurd. Supreme Court saw it that way.
      Joe Biden violated emolument clause in connection with his son’s foreign dealings.

    4.

    2. All courts have procedural law that must be adhered to when making a claim to them. Since the Mr. Trump is now a “Mr.” and not the president, whether he personally benefitted by clowns staying at his hotel is no longer a debatable issue. It is a “moot point.” The Court behaved properly in dismissing the case and wiping all lower rulings off the books. Courts are not “cure alls” for society’s various ills. The problem we are going through right now is mainly a political problem, and it is going to be solved among us, The People. Either we are going to go through a difficult birth and eventually come to a new beginning (and it won’t be the first time, either😉), or the country is going to be torn asunder and something or thing[s] new is/are going to take its place. But either way, the Supreme Court is hardly even going to be a footnote in all of this. Whatever happens is going to happen among us, The People, not in the Supreme Court.

    1. @Juan Fran Obviously you have not done your own serious, in-depth, time consuming research and are content regurgitating the garbage coming from the MSM. So, if there is no election fraud, that can only mean that the woman arrested for ballot harvesting, the hundreds of sworn affidavits that were filed, the recordings including the ones by Project Veritas when admissions were made are all an illusion? The only illusion is that Biden believes he can be president of this country. The MSM/Leftists have spent millions of dollars on behavioral research to learn how to keep the ignorant ignorant. Unfortunately it’s working.

    2. Joe asked me last week, he must have forgotten. But unfortunately the DOJ won’t pursue “the big guy”

    3. @Juan Fran you mean no one who is totally uninformed and brainwashed can keep up. Those who have been awake since 2016 have their eyes wide open right now. Full commie takeover

    4.

    1. Is MSNBC the Qanon for the left? Most comments lack knowledge and credibility🤔 Speaking of that, you still injecting the Trump Russian collusion lie into your veins? 😂

    1. @Gary Whitehead You want Biden to divest his other businesses so he cant enrich himself like trump did for the last 4 years on the tax payers dime? 👍

    2. @Gary Whitehead “If you voted for me, darn it, man, you deserve to be an American,” Biden said at a press conference this morning. “Thank you for your service, and welcome to America. You’re all Americans in my book — clean, articulate ones.”
