Any other leader of a foreign country who would have sat in the WH with the president and refused to return a man who was wrongly deported would have been tossed out on his ass...but only after he was humiliated on national television.

Yes, I want to see it end this monstrous criminal regime. I’m disgusted, furious and heartbroken over this monster taking our country to ruin.
I agree.
In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Trump is attempting to turn the US into a vassal state of Russia’s, and it is way past time for our leaders in Congress to say so and fight far more aggressively.
The Justice Department asked a federal judge late Thursday to release a former FBI informant from prison pending appeal of his conviction on charges that he peddled misleading claims seized on by Trump allies to falsely accuse the Biden family of taking bribes.
Justice Dept. Lobbies for Release of Ex-F.B.I. Informant Accused of Lying About Bidens
It was the latest in a series of moves to scrap or soften punishments against President Trump’s supporters, including members of the violent mob that attacked the Capitol.
