20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.

They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.

They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.

The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

Suggestion: Trump wanted a Liberal win to INCREASE political tension.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
