House Democrat faces threat of removal after calling Trump 'grifter'



We can all see the grift happening in real time. They are using their office to enrich themselves, sell products, bully their competitors, sell stuff in foreign markets, and more. Who is going to hold them accountable?

If corrupt Trump sycophant Comer thinks tharvremoving Frost from Congress for merely having spoken the truth about trump"s grifting wouldn't go to court, this asshole has another thing coming: Frost's remarks are protected by under law, by the Constutution's Speech and Debate Clause.

How many military flights had to go out of their way to N.E. Scotland so they had to buy
aviation fuel from Trump and the people had to stay @ his golf course?

I hope the gentleman sticks to his guns. Water is wet, snow is cold, it gets dark @ night,
and the facts show Trump is a grifter. He and his kids stole money from kids w/cancer and
so he is banned from ever running a charity again.

Don’t back down! Speak the truth.

Bill for a blow job.

The man is a grifter and a criminal. End of story.

People turning out in the 10s of millions in the streets and saying; " we aren't fucking taking this shit anymore!"

Millions pulling their money out of the frickin banks. Don't need to stuff it in a mattress, just get it in a Cashiers check, write "for deposit only" on the back, and hold it back from them for a month, or two.

A General Strike!!!

Let's not forget that they get their power to govern "from the consent of the people".

Trump University was a scam for which he had to repay people millions of dollars. He created a fake charity from which he used funds to pay his political expenses as well as to pay a golf prize someone won at his golf course for a hole in one. He also used money from the character to buy life size portraits of himself which he was forced to resell. The state of New York prohibited Trump from being involved in any charity for at least ten years.
