I'm in England and even I'm aware that many US politicians earning relatively modest salaries, have become multi-millionaires since attaining office. Surely those people can be prosecuted at least if their bank accounts are audited and misappropriation or malfeasance proved?

And their ill gotten gains clawed back to the taxpayers.

Not just their ill gotten gains. Take it all. Everything they own as punishment for their filth and corruption. Then give it back to the taxpayers.

Bettina, I totally agree with you, as do probably 95% of the commenters. Unfortunately, it's not what is right, it is what is allowed under the law. Many, or most politicians that enrich themselves don't break the letter of the law in a fashion that can be proved in , court. Both parties.

If the letter of the law of the land was/is the U.S. Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence were agreed upon and enforced, there are many bureaucrats and activist judges that have/are committing treason. No amount of mediation can change the fact that these people willfully violated societal standards by their own ambition and avarice.

It's been documented that NGOs are used systematically in the money-laundering process because they are not subject to federal law:

He gives the term тАЬEmpty SuitтАЭ a bad name. Thanks to our thoroughly corrupt media, only in America could someone as unaccomplished and undeserving as Obama be installed in the most crucial position of authority on the planet.

Biden - BC of his hot temper @ lower-primate IQ - is probably more dangerous.

Even the social security cheques cashed for dead grandmas?

Congress is a protection racket for political criminality. I am sure your House of Lords and Parliament have similar self protection among their kind.

Oh yes. Labour are proposing to ban the remaining hereditary peers from the House of Lords, so that they are all appointed (not elected). Cronyism at its worst. MPs are frequently caught fiddling their expenses. They are a mafia. They can be filmed beating someone up and escape punishment but an ordinary young mother of good character grieving her dead child gets sent to prison for 2 and a half years for an intemperate tweet following the Southport murder of 3 little girls by a Somalian teen. They also get rich in 'public service'. We are a poor country so it's all on a smaller scale here, but just as outrageous.

YouтАЩre not a poor country, youтАЩre a rich country whose ruling elites have stolen so much that the feudal system of Lords and Serfs has all but returned.

I can't tell you how outraged we across the pond are watching the murder of our mother country, of all the the Commonwealth countries.

You are our brothers and sisters...when you get to it, we will be right behind you, all the way.

A professor of war studies here has said we are likely to have civil war within 5 years: we are polarising into immigrant/marxist city v. British conservative countryside. Only one in five people here voted for Starmer (the gimmegrants and everyone else living on benefits), so please dear American cousins, do not believe any anti-US rhetoric coming from his government or the msm. The silent nobodies here voted for Brexit - against globalism. Let's face it, unless you had come to the rescue in 1942, we would have starved (warning there about self-sufficiency) and been beaten by the Nazis. We might need you to rescue us again. I am applauding the Trump administration and he is very kind hearted to impose lower tariffs on us (his late Scottish mother has given him a soft spot I think) but like the Chinese people, we could do with our government getting a hard dose of reality. Globalism needs to die. Long live the nation state and God Bless America.

Standing with you!! I fear the outbreak of civil war there as well, but I think that unless it happens, England will disappear forever under a hijab and sharia law. Will the globalist fools really wait until Westminster Abbey is a mosque to wake up??

OMG Jane, I don't know what it will take for people to wake up. Unfortunately, our main hope was the Reform party - and they are leading in the polls. However, Nigel Farage has been rowing back on his deportation of illegals policy line and the party chairman is a muslim! They seem to be controlled opposition, but they have a lot of support because most voters don't yet realise this. Elon Musk was right about Farage. Farage had a lot of credibility because he got us out of the EU but now, I don't know - wondering if he's been nobbled!

Obama had only flunky jobs тАШtil his brief Senate stint. Even with a POTUS ENTHRONMENT we canтАЩt explain his sudden ability to own four very expensive residences - including 8 figure estates.

I went to school with Barry for years. Was an unquestioning multi-generational knee-jerk libtard until the moment my mother said, "Barry's running for president.". Literally, that *instant*, I panicked and thought, "WE ARE ***SO*** FUCKED." (recall the "Oh shit!" dude from the lower-right of Michelangelo's _Last Judgment_). Voted republican ever since.

Wernher von Braun worked with Walt Disney on several space-related projects, including television programs and the design of elements for Tomorrowland at Disneyland. He served as a technical consultant and advisor on three Disney television shows: "Man in Space," "Man and the Moon," and "Mars and Beyond".

Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun was a member of the Nazi Party and Allgemeine SS, the leading figure in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany... WIKI

Walt warned us about the takeover of Hollywood by the Jews, but we didn't listen.

Unless they pull a Biden and have shell companies in the hundreds and accounts in their distant relatives' names.

No, they're just _amazingly_ good at picking stocks. They seem to have a natural instinct for when to buy, when to sell, and when to short. Like they know something we don't!

Nancy Pelosi should have her own show about finance.
