The Founders never imagined two of the three would be corrupt.

Luckily, our allies across the globe have been on this from day one. There are volumes upon volumes of evidence against the traitors. As that evidence is made public, the republicans who haven't committed treason will start to turn away from Trump.

Do not despair. We got this. It will be painful and ugly, but the Repulbic will stand.
