    Collins, who has been singled out on multiple occasions by the president in the past, reminded Trump that the U.N. had allowed CNN into the building.

    And:

    The Trump administration has barred Politico, CNN and MS NOW from White House grounds due to what the president considered unfavorable coverage of the administration and “fake news.”

    The pedophile was at the United Nations General Assembly and somehow thought that White House-barred reporters can’t report from anywhere else.

      Give him time and that’s what he’ll try to do next. I bet you they’re already drafting up executive order to do just that.

      While I definitely would be happy with this outcome, there’s fates far worse than death for a narcissist like him.

      Guantanamo Bay with his family completely stripped of their fortune and complete public humiliation. Let him rot in his perceived victim hood until he dies from an inevitable stroke from the rage, with shit in his pants and his corpse thrown into an unmarked pit. No presidential memorial center. And no McDs. Vegetables only.

        it will not happen. assuming the democrats win, they will use him to score points with years long congressional hearings, allowing him freedom to do what ever he wants, including leaving the country. and the democrats will use these worthless hearings to hide the fact they are at best doing nothing to fix the damage at worse continue to govern at the behest of the same doners the republicans had, and trump will die of old age, free, possibly playing golf.

          Honestly I was surprised Joe Biden didn’t pardon him to “Let the nation heal”, he was more subtle by merely refusing to prosecute him.

          Sadly, yes to all of this. Capitalists gonna always capitalist, with one side claiming a false sense of moral superiority over the other.

          Money and control. The two core values of a typical American voter. The elected leaders are just a reflection of that.

      I’d vote for hanging but I’m worried we haven’t discovered a strong enough material for that

      No, we mean literally. Do the world a favor and remove yourself from it

      I’m not American, but I suspect my critical thinking and general knowledge would be severely hindered, too, if I had no access to education, healthcare, unbiased information, and no free time for myself.

      It’s not the average Americans’ fault they were born and raised in a fascist empire that deliberately cripples their lives at all times.

      It’s not just the US either. In virtually all so-called democracies anywhere between 50 and 95 percent of votes goes to politicians, who are suspected, known, confirmed, or even previously convicted criminals.

      In my home country, on average about 60-70% of politicians’ statements are lies or manipulations, as analyzed by independent journalists. For the best ones it’s “only” around 20%. Much better than the rest, but they only get like 5% of votes anyway.

    Everyone is surprised to see him alive after most of the planet wants him to die so i guess we’re all disappointed.

    It’s about time the UN moves to a more hospitable, actually neutral nation like Switzerland or something
