But, I have a feeling that our government knew of their plans, and we will be able to thwart the bulk of their attack.

What is that word, where they make you give all your property to the government to pay for your crimes?

Oh gawd it would be so awesome to see them in the poor house. Don't even send them to jail, (why should we pay their living and medical expenses)? Just let then wander the streets wearing donated clothes and standing in food lines

Between the trump org getting sweet deals (like ivanka picking up.l trademarks in china or the kushners getting a renegociation of their loan on 666 ), outright flaunting the emolument clause by pocketing money from lobbyists and foreign entities via the post office hotel , getting the secret service and other followers pay trump golf properties for their rooms and golf carts
etc... the list is long and I'm not even listing stuff from members of his cabinet. I bet somebody has a website where they gathered it all up. If not, it should be done.

...and his latest plan to index (what is it he plans to index, can't remember) will transfer billions more dollars to the wealthy. At the same time he wants to deny 2% raise to federal workforce. Yes. Just like the Russian oligarchy and the poverty of their people. Same thing. America will be a colony of Russia.
