Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.

My daughter watched the movie The Apprentice. She hates DJT as much as I do. She said the movie exposed Trump, how he was trained to get dirt on anyone and hanging it over their heads. This is what he does. He has dirt on all the Republicans. And if it's not true, his base will believe him

Every level of government has gift limitations. I'm a Parks and Rec Commissioner, and I have limits. No, I cant accept a $400mm airplane. Government is not supposed to be for sale. That Trump doesn't get this and Bondi would justify it, proves how far in the weeds we are.

Republicans **must** be voted out of office. Accomplishing that, along with massive peaceful protests, will begin the process of getting rid of the authoritarian regime. If Republicans continue to win elections we will never be free of their authoritarianism.

So DO SOMETHING about it. The Democrats are clutching their pearls, and ringing their hands, but they're not doing a damned thing. I'm about done with y'all. Righteous indignation is cool and all, but action is a lot more appropriate. Do your damned job. Uphold your oath.

Yep! Even AOC is starting to get on my shit list. They want non-violent protesting, but if they aren't going to do anything, there's only ONE WAY that he's going to leave. And not a single Dem OR Rep will EVER hold another elected position. What about THEIR oaths?!

Drumpf and the "gop" congress need to be charged with Conspiracy. They are conspiritors to DISMANTLE The United States, and everyone knows it around the globe. That the 47 regime isn't being hauled off by other authorities, makes the entire country (particularly the government) look weak.

As it should be and is the way for most countries who don’t have a dictator and a corrupt leader ! I so admire you Cory Booker , love snd respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 can I ask when is this going to be stopped ? He’s gone so far over the line , the line can’t be seen anymore

Just add it to the tally and let us know when we've reached "impeach/convict/ remove" status. I would have thought shipping random people to irreputable, foreign prisons would have been enough-- but the magan's have been so busy cashing in on their "wins", it's really hard to interrupt that flow...

All that is needed is a total of 8. It is so hard for me to comprehend that the Democrats in the house and senate can’t move 8 people to grow a spine , do their job,uphold their oath to the constitution and to the rule of law ,not to mention the very democracy of our nation .

I agree , we have all heard they worry this admin and their $ Will primary them and I say if their constituents stood up and demanded better they would have more power over them as the Wisconsin voters clearly showed over Musk $

Trump has kompromat on all of the Republicans. The RNC servers were hacked at the same time the DNC was, but the DNC data was leaked through Wikileaks, and the RNC data was held for blackmail.

The same thing the entire country has been doing since this fascist coup has taken place. Absolutely nothing. Ignore the extreme danger. About to swallow up everything. Pretend it doesn’t exist. Close your eyes and go back to sleep America., That’s been your only fight against the fascists.

Normal gifts between nations is given to the nation itself. Like the gift from Norway to “Trump” during the Norwegian visit of late, a picture of the now King in Norway as a child after returning to Norway after living in the White House during WW2. Gifts between nations should be symbolic and

be addressed to the office of the President of the USA not the President. Not a huge jumbo jet targeted to scratch an itch of a current president. It is then not a friendly act between nations but a deliberate act to gain influence. Aka corruption.

Clearly. So since the majority party is aiding and abetting, what are WE, the powerless, gonna do about it? And I’m not being facetious. I really want to know. Protest? Where? Obstruct? How?

Well, there literally is an amendment in the Constitution for such occasions. It's just that the ones who are typically most vocal about it are silent in it's most important time of need. Ignorant of history they will sit back as they watch 'their guy' destroy the nation. Perhaps we wont?

this is why it would be good to have a strong organized labor movement so you can just stop working and making these assholes lose money (the only thing they care about).

Do Something!! All I hear is a bunch of talk, so sick of the feckless Democratic Party!! You’re the reason we are embracing a fascist. You should have prosecuted Trump for Sedition when you had the chance!!

There’s so damn much law-breaking going on in the Rump Administration every fucking DAY, with absolutely ZERO consequences, that it doesn’t mean ANYTHING anymore! You leaders in DC have to GET OFF YOUR FAINTING COUCHES AND STOP THIS BS!! NOW!!!

Why do we vote for them as our representatives if they’re not expected to do ANYTHING about the worst crisis this country has ever seen?What are they being paid to do? They’re supposed to be our LEADERS, ffs! SO WHAT if they’re in the minority! So am I, in my State, & I fight like a bitch every DAY!

We had to listen to the bloviating of Cruz, Jordan, Hawley, Gaetz, and all those F’ers touting the Constitution. Now here we are with their Leader violating it daily and they clap like seals.

They are all thinking about their bank accounts, the same as ScrOTus. If it was about the law they would have all been arrested by March 1st. Hell if it was about the Constitution, Drumpy wouldn't have been on the ballot. Our government was taken over decades ago. We ARE little Russia

If they can’t do anything, then why do they keep telling US to do something? Like protest! If there’s nothing our leaders can do to stop this Nazi craziness, then we’re all wasting our time & money when we drive all across the State, going to protests, right? They’re not lifting a finger to help.

That’s usually what happens with an authoritarian government, and the people are unhappy. The people revolt. I don’t think we are there yet. But, the democrats in congress really can’t do anything. They don’t have any power.

Gift my arse. No one “gifts” a $400 million plane! He’s giving them something in return! In addition, everything he’s doing is grifting using the office of President to do it! Why is congress allowing this!

When leaders accept luxury gifts, the price isn’t the plane—it’s their integrity. Negotiations didn’t fail—corruption just landed first, sipping champagne in diplomacy’s first-class seat… all on someone else’s dime.

meanwhile he sneaks an Illegal National Sales Tax past the news media, public and congress ... with nary a peep... bsky.app/profile/ogre...

OgreDragon@ogredragon.bsky.social

Wake up and smell the NEW TAXES. The Orange GODKING has imposed a Sales Tax on all Americans without that tax being approved by congress. This is unconstitutional. The public has been hoodwinked. YOU ARE BEING TAXED BY THE KING. I haven't asked this before: Please repost this everywhere

Also it seems like inviting a Trojan horse into your domain…and can only imagine how many bugs and spying technology wld be tucked away EVERYWHERE on the GRIFT…I mean, GIFT

And what are Americans going to do about it? What are Democrats going to do about it? What are maggots going to do about it? What is the media going to do about it? The same thing you all have been doing since this fascism take over started. Absolutely nothing. Close your eyes and go back to sleep.

What will you and your colleagues do about it? We need and demand action. Not just pointing out the obvious violations. They are destroying our country and all we are hearing is a bunch of tattling.

How about just stop voting for anything Republican! And while we’re at it, we might want to consider emailing our Representatives Maya Angelou’s words: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

It's corruption and greed at its most basic, but what did you expect? Security? Laugh. This jet is like the American embassy the Russians built in Moscow. Unusable because the whole structure is is one giant listening device.

Cool. I’m not a Senator right now, I’m going to need at least one of you to draft up articles of impeachment against Johnson. After that we can talk emoluments clause for Trump/Vance. Otherwise, I’ll be out here organizing and waiting for Congress to do ANYTHING.

This is a genuine honest question from a Brit but why hasn’t anyone done anything about this? If I did this where I work I’d be sacked. I know you will appreciate this but if you let someone break the rules or laws once, how will you stop them if they break them again?

Most of the reason why is because the entire spinless and cowardly RusPublican party has put power over country. They are afraid of losing what little positions of power they have in Congress to the magats, the most deplorable people ever to have lived. They are in control, so it goes.

Too bad nobody in congress has balls to stand up to him. Ds & Rs need to go. We need a continuously functioning REPRESENTATIVE government & won't get it with the SHIT in office now. If this regime keeps acting like King George III & parliament circa 1775, don't be surprised WHEN we go full colonist.

Straightforwardly, it's an easy no. A kid in middle school knows that. His parents never let him tantrum. They gave him whatever he wanted, & FAST, because his whining was insufferable. Unlikeable child, unlikeable adult. Developmentally, he never learned distress tolerance. Ugly, ugly person.

Trump takes a foreign jumbo jet—an open violation of the Constitution. GOP bows. Dems mumble. SCOTUS naps. No indictments. No hearings. No consequences. Just another day in this Groundhog Coup — where lawlessness reigns, institutions rot, and the only thing bipartisan is cowardice. #GroundhogCoup

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.

Will repubicans do anything about it will democrats just shrug their shoulders and whine. These questions and more will be answered on the episode of How Much Can Felon45 steal.
