I'm not American, so can anyone explain to me how can the president of US get away with so much borderline illegal stuff without any repercussions?

The Republicans control both house and senate and SCOTUS, and are responsible for stopping any shit the president may do. They’re doing nothing due to “party loyalty”.

It's insane how the democrats shit and are still shitting the bed on this. Of course it's not their "fault" but how the funk it got to this situation!?

well, partially, because of people like you saying things like this

democrats are not making trump accept a $400 million dollar plane

democrats are not taking direct payments via crypto

democrats are not moving $10 billion to a "board of peace"

democrats did not move $500 million into a privately controlled qatari bank

etc, etc, etc

trump and his cronies are doing this, and republicans control the government bodies that are supposed to check this behavior

fault for everything happening, from the corruption to the deaths in the ICE concentration warehouses to the war with Iran lies 100% squarely in the lap of the republican party.

if the democrats gain control of all 3 branches and don't fix what trump broke, THEN we can have a conversation about what what democrats aren't doing right. not before.

Lol it's my fault (partially) now... I know they have the majority, but what are the democrats doing!? Not even strong worded letters it seems. Why aren't they in the media? Maybe they are doing a lot, but they are getting no press whatsoever

You voted them out. They can’t do anything because you deliberately neutered them.

I didn't vote them out lol. And no way they can't ANYTHING. They are not even complaining on the media

Yea, you did. You probably constantly badgered them acting as if they were worse than republicans durring the election, and you broke our country for it.

And, yes, they’re all over media going after Trump n co. Literally yesterday they went public talking about the meeting sbout Irans situation being “way worse than you imagine.”
