What other revelations do you expect to find out about Trump’s final days? -Chris
@SOUP 650 damn right
@warpedjaffas1 that was a good read. Have you got any plans for a sequel?
@Real American what happened in Fulton County?
Still suffering from TDS I see @cnn
@Real American you’re a democrat and you’ve chosen the name Real American. I’m not the one who’s trying hard….🤡🤡🤡
It’s not worse than we thought. We knew it was as bad as we thought. We just didn’t know about it. He’s just that bad. These people should have spoken up in real time! That’s the problem. Hillary and Obama told us he was unfit for office! He got elected anyway. I knew from the start we would have chaos and confusion with his presidency. He delivered!
no hiiary and obama were
As Trump killed over 600,000 of his own citizens under his presidency by downplaying Covid while Obama left him the playbook on how to prevent this? Hillary and Obama didn’t kill. Trump did. He told Bob Woodward how bad it was and bragged that’s he did the opposite of what Fauci said to do. He should be in jail for that alone!
@cindee D what a load of crap .and hillary and obama did kill .you need to look at what they did when they were in office then
Hillary and Obama???😂😂😂😂 you need to raise your standards!
@Marlene Trainor yes cindee does lol
It doesn’t surprise me.
The trash dump has had it out for America most of his life.
The trash dump and family and more is in need of prison.
Lock up all the trash dump criminals.
@Alex Domanovic In your wet dreams.
@Michael Lewis Why do I even bother. Idiot can’t even spell his name right and insults him instead… XD
@Robsonski Jr you don’t seem realize it would NOT be a one party state, we have several parties and one of those would just step into the republican spot.
@psycobleach46 tullis America with only leftist parties… Yeah, good luck with that. God, imagine being THIS delusional…
Nothing a trillion dollar Check can’t fix
Impossible as it may seem, with Дурак Дон, the ex-Mob-Boss-in-Chief, the truth is always infinitely worse than what is reported.
@Zennbubba
There was never a trial nor charges brought because of a DOJ interpretation of the law.
But there were several convictions that were pardoned.
And all those arrows he handed out to his nearest and dearest that “weren’t as many as Obummer dished out”, yet none of you ever asked why they needed them and what they were for in the first place?
He “owned the libs” and that was all you cared about wasn’t it?
@Sean Patrick aka would not stick.
@Zennbubba
Republicans refused to even read the Mueller report because they were well aware of how damaging it was and preferred to remain willfully ignorant, just like yourself.
I don’t think, in the pandemic era we should be having the Olympics. Actually we don’t really need the Olympics anymore. But whatever.
I dont care about the olympics personally, but when do you think the pandemic will end and what should we be doing until then.
I agree 👍
I hope by the time the World Cup in 2022 arrives the pandemic will be fully contained
JP Morgan’s gotta make some green backs baby…so yeah let’s have a pandemic olympics, it’s not like they’re going to suffer one bit.
The WORST hasn’t yet been revealed.
@Kathleen Huff It sure does
@jeffr p I will make whatever comment I want to make but I won’t argue with stupid. Why don’t you focus on the people who are actually saying negative things about President Trump. I see folks calling Trump a dictator here but you are upset because I said folks drink kool aid?
@Michael Lewis I listened to your advice but someone still found a reason to pick a fight over my Kool Aid comment. It is funny because this person is ok with people calling Trump all kinds of names but don’t say people drink Kool Aid. I guess I hit too close to home.
says who? you…Kent Grey for President…
From a fiscal standpoint for us fiscal types it was much worst than we thought which is why we stayed home in November or did a write in. Had someone taken the dates off the numbers of our debt and budgets I would have sworn the last 4 years a dem was in office. For the record I expect the current President to blow past $8 Trillion.
National Debt increased by $8 Trillion over 4 years compared to Obama who added $8 Trillion over 8 years.
Cost to taxpayers for golf outings was $147 Million over the past 4 years compared to Obama costing tax payers $106 Million over 8 years.
Hopefully the worst will be actions and not financial.
This is what you get when the leader is actually the greatest threat to the people he’s supposed to be leading.
@Jeffrey Barberich errr…Ukraine would like to have a word with you. Also “brideden”? Is name calling a prerequisite for the dotards cult members?
@Jeffrey Barberich actually trump did sell out when he sided with russia over our intel agencies and gave russia classified information. Biden hasn’t done any of that.
Actually I suspect it’s far worse than even m this story reports.
Well government is far worse than theyd be honest enough to admit anyways
Have a great day!
It’s pretty interesting that that he saw BLM protests as specifically against him, even saw mask-wearing as somehow against him. Very strange attitude, not normal, delusional and dangerous.
@Joshua Trujillo You are attacking CNN for information aggregated from 3 separate books, written by 3 different authors all independently saying the same things about Trump. Is CNN misrepresenting what is in these books? Trump was a corrupt, tax cheating fraud (Trump U, Trump charity both shut down for fraud) before he even ran for office.
@Freddy Kitchens fox and cnn do NOT even compare, they are NOTHING alike.
@psycobleach46 tullis yeh ones left and the other is right, that’s the only difference, they both spin lies
@psycobleach46 tullis ur delusional
@Barney ah yes, a man of culture
This was and is criminal, we need to hold the president much more accountable to the LAW.
It’s like you put John Gotti in office…giving the “Teflon Don” a whole new meaning!!
well yeah
So true
John Gotti may have made for a better president.
The Trumpster’s tenure on a whole was a disgrace and very troubling.
@Engage360 The Fraudit Audits are clown theater to give them cover for rigging elections and to overturn elections when they don’t like the outcome. Banana Republic Dictatorship Classic.
@Robinette Dementia hell yeah!
@Engage360 A fake ‘Audit’ done by a crazy partisan nut case with no bipartisan oversite. Investigation into Cyber Ninjas coming.
#TRUMP2024 #GeorgiaElectionAudit
@OldManGhost you are in over your head. You think router logs come from a router trees
How does a such a dangerous clown stay out of prison or a facility for the criminally insane.
Because he’s sane and not a criminal
“A dangerous clown”!?1? Geez, you must have had a traumatic childhood! Ronald McDonald must scare the hell out of you!
Sociopaths seem normal.
@Ralph Boyd When sociopaths seem normal thats when your locked in the bubble world of your cult.
It’s a very fair question. Trump exploited a lot of norms that previously went unchallenged. Every time he got away with a crime, just emboldened him to go farther down the hole. And people who still support him? They have no moral compass. Period.
The US is in trouble. We’re not coming back from this.
What the fake insurrection? Or the mainstream lies used to spread their narrative and propaganda? You’re right we probably wont
Our Democracy is still Intact. What’s left is, “Justice to Prevail”.
@Russell Jordan Trump literally spreads election lies with no evidence whatsoever and even his attorneys in federal court said that they weren’t pursuing fraud. And considering your claims about January 6th, you are either blind or willfully ignorant.
@Russell Jordan —- I see you haven’t been paying attention.
@Russell Jordan How do you explain what the entire nation witnessed on live television?
Now, more than ever, we need to find a cure for PTSD (Post Trump Stress Disorder), especially for his supporters.
Coming from someone glued to news about trump…
Yes. I think CNN and MSNBC are not coping with the changes and don’t want to let go. Poor Joe’s being treated like an illegitimate child at a christening.
For real just stop talking about him
Nice books but Trump’s followers, like him, probably can’t read.
@contagious chaos whatever cofveve. Bigly cofveve
Lots of reading material I could recommend, but I suggest you start with Gulag Archipelago, then maybe move on to The Communist Manifesto. Sm
MAGA
@Engage360 so, how is Vladivostok this time of year, Comrade Troll?
Great opportunity for audio books 🔉 📚 🙃
@Alexander dayton Robertson His excuse is he’s an imbicile.
I’m an atheist, but I’d be willing to bring back hell just for McConnell’s sake.
Trump has said no to him but he has to say it has not occurred as they
THE ONLY THING TRUMP EVER EARNED FAIR AND SQUARE IS THE ELECTRIC CHAIR
I’m not for capital punishment, but in this case, I could make an exception.
“On January 6th, Trump did what most dictators do on their last days in office, keep encouraging a mob of his most rabid supporters to keep fighting for a lost cause” -Trevor Noah
First dictator in history to lose power by an election rigged against him. Shitty dictator by dictator standards
I don’t know why people are still getting surprised by Trumps actions.
This guy is the embodiment of the 7 deadly sins. I expect far worse things to come out, if people keep digging and putting pressure on the GOP.
Is stupid a deadly sin? Or do we need to add an 8th?
