If we can find the will we have the way to remove or @ least hold him in check and stop his terror.

Trump has taken millions of dollars in bribes to stop the opening of the brand new Geordie Howe
Bridge from Windsor, Ontario to Detroit Michigan from the owner of the old an outdated Ambassador Bridge because that old bridge brings in tens of millions of $s in tolls every year.

This is as naked of an example of corruption as there is call your senators and congress critters.
The old bridge is straight and in line and runs through urban areas on both sides of the Detroit River
however the new bridge is built to feed its traffic to the U.S. interstate system (I 74, I 94, & I 96) and
the Canadian Highway system (Rt. 401). We are talking about billions of $s in trade, jobs, and
infrastructure here.

A bridge to Canada may be blocked by the Trump administration.

Far too many of whom are Republicans unwilling to do anything to check Trump’s corruption and criminality.

…. brought to a boil and some Republicans might not want to get scolded by the boiling water.
The problem is that the Republicans own the media

Although we have seen that the Republicans have been willing to protect a child rapist,
a con man, a career criminal, and a murderer.
