WaPo's David Fahrenthold on Trump’s Corruption, Malfeasance, and Utter Mendacity (March 1, 2020) 

There was a law that made it illegal to do what Trump did vis a vis the Secret Service staying in his hotels etc. Because no one had ever violated this law, it has never been tried in court. Well now is the time to try it. ALL the work done by this gentleman and others needs to be brought together and presented in a court case against the lame duck president- ideally after he becomes the ex-president. Americans want Justice. We've been denied Justice for four years and for many of us it's beeb not just beyond the pale, but torture.. So I hope and I pray that the powers-that-be will understand that this has nothing to do with vengeance; it has to do with Justice. Fair is fair. IT is now the time for the American people to take to court this man and have the legal system do its duty by the American people. He may be the first of his kind but he will not be the last. This is not and has long since ceased being a laughing matter. It's Lady Liberty's turn. The of Statue of Liberty was made by the French and modeled on an Arab woman. Her time has come.

Yes!!!

He would get my vote if he was to run for President 2020

You are exactly correct and thanks for saying so. Lew Dawg, The Stray Dawgs

@@Xcris_crosX He certainly has more of a concept of the _United_ States than Five Deferment Don.

Michelle Medrano-Garcia gillibrand bet on the wrong horse. No one will ever listen to her again.

Vote blue, Nov. 3.

and those Oligarchs, aka the 'donor class" give their money to the GOP Senate.

Plenty of psychopaths in the dnc too but they tend to be loners rather than a whole party working in conjunction.

Kate White he’s getting away with it because no one is holding him to account.

Remember to oust Moscow Mitch

Loana, that scandal that wasn't, should be a warning the ultra liberals. It was those folk who pressured Al to resign. It's a shame that it happened. But the me too movement goes too far at times. And when they go too far, it can end up hurting those women who need help.

You. Need. Help. 🤣💯🤣💯🤣💯🤣 Here's Youre Buddy Al Franken. 👌👍 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eiD4XvH4zJg.html Theres a reason he isnt in government anymore. Do your research. You all sound so ignorant. No joke.

@@NickRichards7 We did our research. I have no idea why Al Franken was treated this way by his own, especially considering how so little is said about the serial rapist in the White House, but your little CBS report proved nothing. That photo was obviously just a joke, and neither was she sleeping nor was he touching her. There was a cameraman there, remember? Nothing Al did warranted his being removed from the Senate especially considering the damage so many Republican Senators have done to people in this country for years, including being against the Violence Against Women Act and women's reproductive rights. Al Franken was one of the most effective Senators Democrats had. His questioning in various hearings was brilliant. He's an amazingly intelligent man with an ironic sense of humor. We need him back, and someone needs to make an apology, especially the radical-right woman who pretended he had hurt her somehow when she was totally in on the joke from the beginning.

@@wendyscott8425 Serial Rapist? Wheres the proof or link for that? Get a life you democrat 💯 🤣🤣🤣

@@NickRichards7 No, I'm an independent and have never joined a political party in my life. Take it or leave it. "Conservatives" always hurl phony accusations against people without knowing what they're talking about, so I'm not surprised here. _Business Insider_ has this article: *The 25 women who have accused Trump of sexual misconduct* www.businessinsider.com/women-accused-trump-sexual-misconduct-list-2017-12 Not sure if among the 25 was the 13-year-old who was raped by him _repeatedly_ with another young girl watching. This was at Epstein's house, if I recall correctly, in the 70s. Here's a link to an article written by her lawyer: www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-rape-case_n_581a31a5e4b0c43e6c1d9834 The girl was threatened with death and the death of her family if she ever told anyone. Nice. He also raped his first wife Ivana when he was mad at her over some hair plugs or some shit like that. She wrote about it in her book. More recently, in June 2019, columnist E. Jean Carroll accused him of sexually assaulting her by forcing his penis inside her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s. She still has the dress in case anyone wants evidence. Furthermore, I was horrified when I saw him put his hands on either side of his _daughter's hips,_ for God's sake, right there on TV at the Republican National Convention. No one said anything, not even the media that I recall at the time. This was the same group of people who whined when First Lady Michelle Obama had bared her-::gasp::-ARMS in a photograph. Oh. My. God. Her successor had nude pictures taken of her that ended up in the paper before the election. Not a word from the Republicans over that either. He bragged about how he mistreated women in the Access Hollywood video. He talked about how he walked into the dressing room full of naked teenage girls at his beauty pageant. The guy is a sleazy, sick criminal, and he's our freaking president, and you just love him! Birds of a feather flock together. What have you got in your past?

Sure hope the Wash Post keeps investigating Chump and someday comes up with a complete list and cost of how much Chump grifted and scammed from the taxpayers over his 4 corrupt years.

This triggered era put trump in office.

@@jhitchcock5503 ...ooopsy, i thought i had that right but i stand corrected. ...tr

@@hifitommy and that's one of the things I love about this podcast. A lot of us are here because we want to be correct instead of simply believing that we are always right.

They got rid of Franken because he was actually making a difference and taking on the bankers and corporate lobbyists and winning! They can't have that.

Nick R A million times better than your buddy trump!

Nick R That is your complaint. I’m sure you are a Trump supporter. To say “there’s a reason why Al Frankin isn’t in government anymore” is laughable when you see the dozens of accusations that Trump has against him. And let’s not forget the Pussy grabbing comments from his own mouth. But he gets a pass with you? Hilarious!

@@NickRichards7 IS A BORING RUSSIAN TROLL

Sam Steffen , WTF ??????

@@1223steffen HUGEST IDIOT

Cherrish, I'll try to make time to get back to your note with some medical advice I think will help calm your fears and prepare you for future doctor visits; for now, I just want to say that yes, it's usually best to see your own physician in clinic--but if your symptoms are scaring you and you find you're getting worse instead of better, it's important that you call your clinic even when your own doc isn't available: they'll either have a staff nurse of a "nurse hotline" who will ask questions to determine whether you need to be seen sooner rather than wait. They'll want your vital signs--so it's important to learn how to take your temp, count your breaths per minute and count how many times your heart beats each minute (or have a friend who can do it--sounds like your daughter would know). Everyone should have a good thermometer at home, and people with chronic illnesses should have a blood pressure monitor--and with lung disease, a peak flow meter. Before any call to clinic, have a list of your symptoms written down (so you can save the nurse time for other patients, as well) and have a pencil and paper ready to write down any advice. If you are dangerously ill, you will be directed to the ER. If not, it's best to stay out of the ER as sicker patients will be seen first, so you may wait hours till you can be seen, and that wait time will expose you to other patients' disease. Please take care? I hope we will get a president in November who understands that we all need good healthcare coverage--and as long as we treat medicine like a business instead of as a human right, politicians will keep arguing about all kinds of half measures that, if accepted by people who think it should be rationed or better for those who can afford to pay more, or pretend that it isn't already controlled by a lot of people who aren't your doctor, then we'll keep getting crumbs and the system will get more broken and every time we make a little gain, another president can come along and sic lawyers after whatever system the last president set up. We need Medicare for All. . In the short run, I hope you get well quickly and, if not, you call your provider so you don't get stuck going to the ER when it's too late to heal you easily, okay? In the longer run, hope you vote, and I hope you'll have a chance to vote for Sanders. If the Democrat isn't Sanders, though, please vote for the Democrat because at least he's marginally better than Trump on health care, and without a doubt, far better as a human being.

@@oldwoman2121 thanks for caring, and all of your insights. I am compromised because of a botched abdominal surgery, that has been revised several times, only to fail. Iam the poster child for Medicare for all, because I spent 6 years unable to get any doctor to operate, when my bowel was twisted and sewn partially shut. Hernia mesh was exploded into millions of pieces, making small holes everywhere it migrated, and once again I need another surgery. This doesn't count my hip that was just done barely in the socket, and a back and knee I must do first, in order to be able to walk enough, after another major abdominal, which has caused about a month in the hospital and another in a nursing home after that, as well as the operation before where I got pnuemonia and ecoli, in the hospital. I have lost everything, trying to get well, and still Iam not. Don't worry because while Iam registered as an independent, I will vote for Bernie if given the chance. Iam in Oregon so by the time things get to us, we basically have two choices. I would vote for anyone virtually to get Trump out, as he is a threat to people like me, me personally, my grandchildren, and our lives are at stake, like so many others. Not to mention, I view him as a domestic enemy, an imposter installed by a hostile foreign power, to carry out vengeance and dismantle our institutions, allies, and system of government, and build himself wealth and power, by any means necessary. Yes, I am frightened, but I have no other control than to vote, and keep speaking out about the truth, even if people won't listen, it's still something I feel obligated to do, until my last breath, because the alternative ends life as we know it in this country, and it's already unrecognizable in some ways, due to the damage he has been able to do. I am much more worried about the people who count on me than myself, and I just feel helpless and defeated at times unable to do anything more than this about it.

Gosh i feel so sorry for you and your family. Americans need and deserve a universal health care system free at point of use

@@outlawJosieFox thank you, but I am positive that there are others in more trouble than my family is. I shouldn't complain, at least I have a doctor. I guess my fear is what will become of us, if our government continues to take from those of us, who have nothing else left to give, to the wealthy conservative corporate class, except our lives. America has lost its way.

Ditto

You don't need to ask him about the expenses, that Trump's forcing the govt to pay to his businesses. Yes it's true ! Every part is true. Scottish govt knows about this too.

Scottish govt knows about it because the airport in question was loosing money and the money the Air Force spends on fuel etc helps keep the airport open. Only problem is they have to pay the usual airport rates which are far higher than if they refuelled at a US air base, so basically, the Air Force is getting stung and Trump makes money !!! and this is something that should absolutely be discussed more as Trump is simply using the US Military by intentionally diverting flights to prop up his own businesses financially...

@@thediddymen1408 There's also an easy reply to this. Of course it was known to the Scottish government, you're not allowed to just fly into Scottish Air space without consulting the authorities.

Whatever you do won't matter. Nobody will be punished.

corryjookit: How is that an easy answer when I stated that the Scottish Gov knows about it ? I wrote that because someone insinuated before that they weren't aware of the deal...

I got it - but I'm old.

Indeed. ..the story on how the US was offered working and effective virus tests by not just the world health organization but the Chinese government too and turned down by the Trump Administration all the way back in January should be spoken about 24/7 on news programs. .. if this was simply a deal where Trump and his sleazy friends wanted to make money off of a American virus test that would be bad enough. ..but its even worse than that. ..TRUMP and his team have been bashing the EU for years and supporting any stupid country that wants to leave the European Union. ... so what were actually seeing here is a situation where Trump and the GOP have no problem with seeing a million plus people die. ..as long as they demonize the EU, a conglomerate of countries who have decent health care systems and a bunch of other good stuff for their citizens they just don't care what happens to us. .. IE Trump and his team can't take Virus Tests from the EU because they understand that by doing that you'd be telling the world ...the people we've been saying can't do anything right. ..prove we were wrong by creating a Test that works better than ours does. ...

@@NickRichards7 dummy

Nobody wants a boyfriend who thinks he is prettier than you! Good job on saying, I am not putting up with this, because these kind of people can cause massive damage to others, simply because they always have alternate motives, for anything they say or do, it's always about them.

My partner when we first met, had a picture of himself in 2013, taken 20 years ago, when he was a high flyer in the auto industry. He’s also a narcissist and it took me about a year to have it removed. I’ve realised since then that it doesn’t stop his need for aggrandisement.

Thats my mother also. Pictures if herself everywhere, and constantly telling anyone who will listen how wonderful she is. Classic narcissism.

@@sueneilson896 I'm sorry, that must be difficult, I notice Trump rarely speaks about his mother, and their must be a story there.

22:00 "As a special addition, we now present you with a bonus episode of 'Al Franken Apologizes for Jokes Not Received Well!'" Poor guy.
