Bring in an independent investigator to follow up on these no-bid contracts and other outrageous expenditures that are approved and granted with no oversight and no accountability.
Allow the chips to fall where they may and execute any government official caught in these corruption cases.
Bring back hanging, the firing squad, or the guilllotine.
Start at the top. if any of these politicians are guilty, without a shadow of a doubt, execute them.
We, as many Christians do, support capital punishment for killing or raping one person, than certainly putting to death a person for the crime of killing an entire nation should hold equal sway.

Yes, or no Darville?

I grew up in the US, lived there for 45 years.
I hesitate to go back because I may run into someone who voted for trump. Anyone who supports trump, especially now, is an idiot.
Full stop.
Anyone reading the papers recently?
Trump only cares about himself. A leader? Please.

Rubio is a certifiable jackass, who has absolutely no principles.
Expel the US diplomats until they start to treat us like a people worthy of respect.

Perhaps we should grow some balls too.
