Irrespective of what Trump wants, If I was the FBI I would check anyway, hopefully they will do this anyway, grow some balls.

Geez, gotta go through more than that to get an apartment

[robertjohnston]

The world is in disbelief at how America could be deluded by this perverted criminal, and elect him, not once, but twice.
God help you now.

Is this even LEGAL?? Sure doesn't sound like it!!

[lynnewilson]

I’m so sick of trump and his people how in the world he won the three offices well we know what happened….😱😱😱

[claireshoemaker]

I was preparing myself for the onslaught of Trump's disastrous four years but I am shocked how quickly he has started his regime. He hasn't even been sworn in yet. Before the election I kept telling myself my vote was my strongest weapon. Now all I have left is prayer. We are a lost nation.

[KarenMichalec]

Biden should just refuse to step down!

[leahtaylor]

It is appearing that the Constitution is only a suggestion and nothing more. Wit no teeth there can be no law. Great example for the world.
