“Lobbying” is the politician word for “bribery”.
True 💯
@Blue Oak People take lives using guns and if you want electricity, driving cars and other energy you need fossil fuels. The United States is not the big pollution problem you think. It’s not about pollution and climate change because the two biggest polluters are being given a pass. It’s about taking money from us and giving it to other countries. Nothing will be done about climate change nor is there anything you can do about it.
@Debra Johnson
So pray for your children, ignorant!
@Debra Johnson
You take the news upside down?
The orangeman was president for “Trump first! And a lot please”!
And for the 1% richest with tax reductions.
Connect to reality!
@Cliff Medina
Liar
Remember when Trump did his sword dance with Prince’s with UAE? So surprise surprise.
@Stephen Kershaw and now we go to deflection. What’s next denial?
@Patriot805 808 and you’re still babbling about your relevant things rather than backing up your comment or citing your evidence and sources, but all the time you’re wasting flopping around and backpedaling and trying to divert away from the topic is just showing people that you don’t have what it takes to come to the table that’s why we’re bullying you🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Stephen Kershaw that’s easy, the CDC website and the CNN interview yesterday.
@Patriot805 808 nope….neither back your claims…try again
@Stephen Kershaw like I am going to accept that you actually looked it up.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂FB don’t count
Corruption in our politics and government needs to be outlawed! Why aren’t the laws written to stop this blatant criminality in our House, Senate, and Presidency? Oh, wait, the law makers are the criminals!
Your statement make no sense .
@Christopher Javens
capitol rioter, trump supporter and traitor to america
Paul Hodgkins admitted in court that Joe Biden won, i look forward to seeing the rest of the insurrectionist in court admitting Biden won before they are sent to prison!
MAGA😆
It’s across the board blatant corruption that’s the problem
@Christopher Javens
WHAT crimes did Hillary and Obama do? Pls explain instead of parroting the BS posted on Facebook.
Hello kathleen
How-come lobbyist, control laws without a conflict of interest. We the people, are shunned out of the law loop.
Can’t absolve the people. They select their representatives who allow themselves to be lobbied…
@Devil’sAdvocate Operation mockingbird worked better than the CIA could have ever imagined. Example you.
@Devil’sAdvocate Where are all the celebrities? Why is the white house empty? Where is everyone? Hmmm.
@The Morally Superior Democrat Well since you don’t follow the news you wouldn’t know it, but Tom Brady and other football celebrities were just in the White House having their pictures taken with THE PRESIDENT, Joseph Biden cracking jokes and making fun of the Big Lie. Oh, well, another stupid post by a MAGAT is false.
@Kat loves dogs hi how are you doing today?
Should have never got into politics Donald .
@trump clearlywon And your a blind fool!
@trump clearlywon You must praise Hitler then?
He never got into politics, just used his position.
@trump clearlywon a free stay in prison.
@trump clearlywon How does it feel to be used by a known conman? Wear that “L” on your forehead with a few tears.
It was along the same lines “do me a favor though” Another billionaire who we need to check their taxes.
pleas check out my design..
NO DRAFT DODGER SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO HOLD ANY POLITICAL POSITIONS. In fact no politicians should be able to serve unless they have SERVED active duty in the military
@William Yahwehson and probably 90% of the politicians
Biden is a fraud
Trump 2024
@trump clearlywon 👈 Russian BOT
@truth hurts 👈 Russian BOT
Donnie sure knows how to pick them. Manafort was the first campaign felon.
Trump won
@Drought Tolerant 👈 TROLL
@trump clearlywon 👈 Russian BOT
@Drought Tolerant cite your sources and provide evidence, put up or shut up
@trump clearlywon yes Trump won the worst president in US history and The Biggest Loser of all time😄😄😄😄😄😄
Now is the time for Trump to drop two hits of Orange Sunshine.
@Marceline A. He will be dummy
@Marceline A. Trump won
@trump clearlywon I don’t care lol
@truth hurts 👈 Russian BOT
I know exactly what that means 🤣🤣 Orange Sunshine..hahaha! 🌞
Trump: who? Tom Who? Tom Barrack? I might have met him… maybe… maybe Ivanka knows him… maybe not… the name sounds kind of familiar.
Trump thought bubble……wasn’t he the previous president??
@conehead210 Unfortunately, he was…
And some castles made of sand .
Fall into the sea.
Eventually.
No credit for Jimi Hendrix quote?
@ Chuck Johnson…. Dang man you could have given Jimi, his props. We all know it’s not your own!
Something tells me this guy isn’t going to want to spend his golden years in prison. He’ll talk.
Propaganda wake up
I think so too.
@truth hurts hear that everybody? Somebody who hides behind a fake name and a fake profile like a coward is telling us is all fake😄😄😄😄😄
Unless hes murdered like epstein
Fred Trump must be proud. That’s my boy. He really turn the WH into a bigger swamp.
Roy Cohn, the criminal is proud
…. I heard a joke a while back, I’m not going to tell you who thought it up tho, so don’t ask, but, it went, Bring back the Obama Biden swamp, and let’s clean out the trump cesspool….😂😂😅👍
@Jame Isom I see why you don’t want anybody asking, because that was barely a joke and you’re the one who came up with it on the spot. Booooo.
That makes 18 of Trump’s people that have been charged, indicted or jailed. Anyone believing it’s a witch hunt doesn’t know the facts.
@DonnaLena1 hunter didn’t run nor was in.the federal government. People need to stop the conspiracies and get the darn facts. Conspiracies don’t hold up in court
@DonnaLena1 …I would love to be able to see what Republicans would be saying right now if we could rearrange it, and it was the Obama Biden administration right now with every third or fourth person being indicted or imprisoned…or, god forbid, if Obama/Biden supporters blm and antifa had stormed the capitol in the same exact manner and did the same exact things… republicans would be seeking to chase down, and corner off, and lock up and punish every single democrat and liberal in this country…smh
Yeah, but I’m sure trump would say that he barely knew any of them, but he heard they were great guys.
@Gayta Brooks Amen to this! Thank goodness for the Law and the Constitution
LOL…everything Dump touches turns into a sewer tank. Pretty soon we will have to build a new prison just to lock them all up. Better yet send them all to Alcatraz to rot with the rats. Visitors to the island can have batting practice on them all.
“We have to knock out terrorism.”
You mean like the murder and dismemberment of American journalists?
@Roll With The TROLL!
As I said. No arguments.
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
@Sean Patrick then you’re more mindless than I thought!
@Roll With The TROLL!
Zero arguments.
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
@Sean Patrick typical beta-male… (sigh)
@Roll With The TROLL!
Nothing . . .
To quote your cult leader, “Sad!”
As you have nothing significant other than childish insults, I will just mute notifications of your silly little comments.
Goodbye.
Impossible as it may seem, with Дурак Дон, the ex-Mob-Boss-in-Chief, the truth is always infinitely worse than what is reported.
The opposite is true. 😆🤣😂
How long have you been following the Left’s hatred of Trump? Everything they’ve reported on
“OK, this time Trump is doomed”
ALWAYS goes away
@Scott Harrison
Sure, the fake troll account created a week ago is so much more reliable. 🙄
In this case Trump got played himself without knowing it. You only have to play his oversized ego.
Trump’s guild in this was that he promised to eliminate pay for play and do something about lobbying and instead let it get more worse than ever.
1:34 “we’ll work with them, because we have to knock out terrorism ”
One of the those times, he strictly read from the teleprompter, and stuck to the script…. almost like “it was personal business!”
And for the man that didn’t like NATO?
I’d love to ask Susan Collins if she still thinks Trump learned his lesson! 😏
SUSAN COLLINS IS A HACK AND A THIRD RATE POLITICIAN.
If not, she’ll “write a strongly worded letter” to that mischievous boy.
That’ll show him!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Will a reporter please ask her that!?
Preferably… A reporter– from Collinwood: to U.S. Senator Dark Shadows.
😆😆😆😆😆she’s tripping….
Lobbying is the political word for “blind greed”.
