Besides, the media and congress have never held them accountable for anything, so what do they have to lose?

of starting the Impeachment investigation to see if we can get Trump to blow up and ruin his UK trip.

And the Dems should have the drum beat that it is a criminal investigation.

Interested in what she is telling him, blaring rumbles of flatulence are heard echoing in the large rooms.

Donnie Dumbfuck is such a fat slob, his FAT ROLLS are clearly seen through his suit as he squats and bends down listening to the Queen. Too bad the Queen just didn't hand him a bunch of information on treasonous people in history and leave them all in an empty room just waiting... until they finally left.

Let's cut the shit and get down to the facts: the entire Trump family and everyone around him is compromised and has been for a very, very long time. (Why the hell do you think Trump marries women from former Soviet client states? It ain't because of their cute accents, I assure you of that!) The Donald already had a meeting with his handlers in the Oval Office, and enough people noticed that he'll never do it again.

There are very few cities in Europe that are better for contacting spies than London. (The best one is Vienna.)

No, children. Trump is taking his entire retinue to London because they need to meet face-to-face with Russian intelligence.

the parade of useless Trump sycophants and spawn before the Royal Family. It is grotesque. Why on earth do any of them need to be there other than Trump and his wife? This should be brought before congress as a waste of federal funds.
