Republicans say, "If we just ignore Trump's crimes, maybe they will go away?"

They stood by and watched him take a $400 million dollar bribe and did nothing. And said nothing. As he made "deals" around the world to enrich himself. We can only assume that it is all OK with them.

Selling access to the White House to the highest bidder. He is like reverend Ike. He doesn't want to hear pocket change rattling. He wants big money.

I read yesterday that he was the first "crypto" billionaire. Life is good for Donald and his family.

The Constitution could not be more clear when it states that no federal official can take a gift of any sort from any king, prince, or foreign state. They know what it says.

They stand by as our laws are broken and they do nothing.

What more do people need to know?

We wouldn't want to rush to judgement, now would we? Better by far to make sure that the powder is dry.

As they are increasingly squeezed, they will lash out. Business owners will raise prices, consumers will be squeezed, denied service, unable to buy. They will take it out on each other. Tariffs are only the beginning. Look at the tax policy. Federal car licensing fees. $100 to start.
