    Default Trump's kids and former staffers get Secret Service protection at taxpayers' expense

    Secret Service protection for his adult children and top loyalists will cost millions

    As one of Donald Trump's final abuses of the office of the presidency, he extended Secret Service Protection beyond himself and his wife Melania –– as is guaranteed in the Former Presidents Act –– to 14 additional family members and former administration staffers, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.

    Proof enough that the USA has a dumbass Constitution if it is allowing for this crap. Trump and his crime family incite violence at the Capitol and they get protection?

    Someone needs to pull the plug on this thievery!

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Why not? We the taxpayers have already spent millions upon millions to keep the Trump children in the lifestyle they need, and to keep the Trump companies up and running, and not a single republican has complained about the dollars wasted. So, a few dollars more shouldn't matter.

    Hopefully that's what the Senate impeachment trial will do.

    Maybe they will all board the same plane for a family trip and run into extraordinarily bad weather. I seriously detest every last one of these parasites.

    the constitution says state legislators decide election rules. these processes were change outside those narrow specifications. many state elections are technically invalid.

    You know and I know that is total bull shit. That same tactic was brought before more than one court and lost each time.

    You are simply a pathetic liar. Republican judges, trump appointed republican judges, the US SC, the US AG all said there was no proof of a single illegal vote. But of course, your kind needs justification, excuses, for trying to over throw a duly elected President. possibly if the election had been much closer, but you lost by 8 million votes.

    When you post not out of your ass all you do is end up with an empty ass. Republicans are saying that it wasn't stolen the only one saying stolen are your low IQ opioid addicts types. have the kid from next door teach you how to use a search engine because he has done more in the first couple of days than your guy did in four years and you'll find that out when you do a search

    No they're not invalid you're just making crap up. your problem is that you're a loser and instead of trying to ignore the fact that you're a loser you really would be better off figuring out why you're loser and correct the behavior
