Oh f'k no! And evade justice? Trump and Musk in the deepest darkest hole! Revoke their passports so they cannot escape justice. Freeze and seize ALL their assets so they can't buy their way out of justice, so they CAN be held accountable.

oh, he'll be crying. Notice he is so hated his entire family is in hiding! We can't allow Trump or Musk to hide behind their billions and not be brought to justice.

Lorna Locke's avatar

What a stupid comment. He’s not actually been convicted of anything - you’re damn lucky to have a President who cares so much about his country and the American people. We would give anything to have him as our prime minister here in the UK. Try living in London or any other major city for just a month and you would be begging for him to come over here. Just be very careful what you wish for otherwise you could end up with someone like Kier Starmer and his circus of clowns or even worse - another Biden!!

Simple solution: Freeze and seize ALL assets of Trump and Musk, revoke their passports so they can not escape JUSTICE! Use the $ to rebuild our govt and country. Musk bought the election for Trump so Musk could dismantle our country, our govt.

President Bukele was just here and doesn’t seem to want to get involved even though he’s already involved. Trump was talking to him about the possibility of building more prisons in El Salvador for illegal and legal people in the US.

Expand full comment
Leslie Pulford's avatar

I totally agree with you. The only thing I have heard (I am from Maryland) is that our Senator is willing to go to El Salvador to meet with Bukele on his own to try to get Abrego Garcia out of the gulag. At the very least, he wants to make sure he is still alive. That is a HUGE question right now. Yes, this is a test and the US citizens cannot be silent.

Why is impeachment not being discussed if this is all so clearly unconstitutional??

Expand full comment
Leslie Pulford's avatar

I feel that I have seen that articles of impeachment have been written - but how many have to get behind that - and who (are all Dems and a handfull of Republicans enough)? I am sure some group is out there looking into this - and have been since Day 1. If it took a humanitarian crisis, I think we have it.

The Extremist Republicans hold both the House and the Senate, and the DOJj is in his pocket. There is literally no one to impeach him. And let's not forget he was already impeached twice and nothing happened.

Expand full comment
Chris's avatar

Impeachment would be tough. You wouldn't have the backing unless both sides fight together. It'll take the military to step in an get him out. Someone had said Marshall's also. If the Supreme Court would step in and revoke his immunity that would help. I cannot believe the Supreme Court lets him get by with what he's getting away with. How can they sleep at night or look at themselves in the mirror...unbelievable.

Have you've not been watching? Watch the Meidas Touch Network. Ben Meiselas has interviewed 70+ governors, senators, and Congressional representatives within the last month. In the beginning of April for the hands off protests that drew more than 5.6 million people across the country. We had a lot of democratic leaders show up. Eric Swawell was one of them. And many more. They aren't perfect by any means of the imagination, and I must say started to fight back a bit late in the game. But they're showing up now. Better late than never. Also, raising money 💰 🤑 by grassroots is the way to go. At least they aren't asking the oligarchs for billions like the republicans do. Let's not demonize them raising money the grassroots way, let's embrace it. ✌️✨️
