"Trump's corruption worse than Watergate."
No criticism, because it's true, but it must be the understatement of the millennium. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being "A bit shady" and 10 being "Are you fucking kidding me?" I think it's at 1000.

Trump’s corruption, Trump’s lawlessness, Trump’s madness is INFINITELY beyond Watergate. It’s like a mound in contrast to Mount Everest.

To me it’s very obvious it’s worse than Watergate. I find it unbelievable that everyone doesn’t see that. Perhaps it’s easier for those of us who lived through the Nixon years.

I am in amazement that more people are not concerned. It is as if they do not understand, yet hard to believe they are that ignorant.

I totally know what you mean.

TACO's corruption makes Watergate look like a bug-free picnic. Our only weapons are the vote and the law. We lose either, we lose all. America the free dies.

How is he corrupting the military? That is a critical question. With generals paid off, it will be easy to subvert the republic.

He’s getting ‘yes men’ in key positions

And damned Rs in Congress do nothing. Concerned citizens must demand that their Congressional delegation work to impeach, convict, and remove Trump ASAP.
