gtconway3d Bye Trump org.

Thoughts and prayers.

Hunter Biden and his dad sold America out to China! Why don't you report on that. Something that has actually hurt Americans! How about inflation? High gas? Violence?

Let's stop pretending the USA is still a democracy, arrest Trump and try him as Russian agent and enemy of the people. Then organize petitions by outraged American people demanding highest punishment. Study Stalin for ideas how to do it.

Rich ppl & companies avoiding to pay taxes with gimmicks. Hardly surprising, but if it goes to trial, we'll see...

Such a damn shame, he was such a nice guy in 1948 🤣🤣🤣🤣
