      ​@@mismissy regarding the other "President" : he was actually trying to investigate the illegal contribution to Obama's 2012 campaign but the rapper dude tried to force to his administration to drop investigation. Which is also illegal.
      This rapper donated 20 million of stolen money to Obama's campaign. That is why Obama had the most money ever donated to any presidential candidtate. It wasn't because he was the most amazing but it was because One man donated 20 million of stolen money to him.
      Some other mainstream news sources are actually reporting on this but only in print. They know the masses are too lazy and stupid to actually read. They have to be spoonfed by cable news muppete to get their education.

      I remember the media constantly saying Obama received the most campaign donations out of any president in history. Well that illegal 20 mill sure helped!

      That was money that a man stole from his country. Millions. Then gave most of it to that rapper and the rapper donated 20 million of it to Obama in 2012. That's not what Wall street does. He stole the money. There's a difference.
      Don't compare. If Wall Street does something illegal I'm all over it but that's NOT what we are talking about .

      He took 20 million of stolen money ( money taken illegally from the Malaysian govt and donated it to Obama's 2012 campaign. That's illegal.
      If you actually read the news you will see story after story of Dems AND Republican constantly getting in trouble for illegal donations or stealing things or messing with elections. It's all over mainstream news if you actually try reading instead of watching.
      Cable news and regular TV news like CBS, ABC, NBC only report the same garbage every day. Trump is bad, orange man bad, Biden is amazing, everyone is racist. I don't like trump but I would like to hear some other stories.. I am surprised they even reported on this but they left most of the details and didn't mention Obama or the rapper trying to keep the trump admin from investigating..
      What is wrong is wrong. Sorry. I could care less what party it's affiliated with. In my 20s I didn't think that way. I defended Clinton even during the Monica lewinsky scandal and his Perjury crap I still remember him looking into the camera and pointing his finger and saying " I DID Not sleep with THAT woman!" What a liar and all his sex scandals ugh and I even ignored the rape accusations because I loved him. Then I grew brain and matured, started thinking for myself and realized ANYONE who does something wrong like that is Wrong. I don't care what party.
