It is mind boggling to me that Republicans ignore the corruption of this president. Beyond being hypocritical, it is disgraceful. I wonder every day how republicans live with this truth and then I realize they probably are not listening to the truth to make themselves feel better about the demise of our county.

Coming from the guy who was hawking Teslas from the White House, it's unsurprisingly brazen. It also sounds like it won't amount to much if all he's incurring is $200 fines.

Anyone in any position to prosecute, and doesn't, should rot in hell whenever they get there.

The list of actual crimes just keeps growing. I say "actual" because Twump's presence in the White House is a crime unto itself. It is a result of all the bad in humanity finding a valve to release itself, like opening Pandora's box, and all the nasty vibes, fumes and illicit actions come oozing out and slime us all. Clean up on aisle America!

This is why the midterms are so important. Having a Congress to do oversight of this corrupt, careless, callous, chaotic Queens real estate mob boss and his selfempretzeling administration is the last guardrail before our country runs itself off the democratic edge into the authoritarian Christofascist abyss.

This is really incredible reporting. Unfortunately, the Republican lemmings will just insert their heads further up Trump's backside while announcing "Nothing to see here!!."

Trump says no thank you to $10 Billion from his DOJ Just set up a ~$2 Billion slush fund for my convicted fraudsters & violent insurrectionists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGORP-lgIUM

Only $200. That is so pathetic. We need to ramp up accountability.

$200 fine is not a punishment, it is a trivial cost of profiting from insider information.

Add this to all the market manipulation he's doing with his bullshit pronouncements over Iran and you have a pattern of criminal behavior that even a Liberty Law graduate could litigate and win. But he will skate on this just like everything else. These are, after all, official presidential acts per John Roberts.
