Hey america, less talking and outrage, more checks and balances, thank you.

We may have to burn it all down and start over at this point

The "may" part means it's not going to happen.

No you don’t. This is how dictators are made. You fix it one piece at a time. Starting from erasing Super PACs from existence

It is absolutely gutting how much the American public is willing to put up with so long as the people they don't like are being punished.

They already gave up. No one is waiting on some imaginary last straw that doesn't exist while our owners fuck kids and enforce slave labor via the prison system.

The plain fact of the matter is that Americans are too chickenshit to do anything.

But you, you're so brave and bold with comments like these!

Absolutely mind boggling to the rest of of the world: How is this guy still in charge? WTH is happening over there? How is he not rotting in jail?

Because the country was held back by a bunch of moderate Democratic party members who wanted to make nice and move on, and then the fascists seized power again and that makes it pretty much impossible to hold them accountable because our society was already really corrupt before Trump came along and doesn't really hold people in power accountable

Lol, he has a deal where they can't investigate him or his children for their lifetime. He's now calling the FIFA to reverse decisions. He's making sure he won't lose any other vote. Nothing will happen and he knows it. Americans democratically decided to give him absolut power, he's not gonna stop until he owns the world or it collapse with him.

Someone tell trump that there is a slot machine in Vegas that pays off with every single play. We'll never see him again.

Nah, he’ll buy that casino and bankrupt it also!
