Like the frog in boiling water
Donald Trump has made billions off the Presidency. Massive corruption and it’s being normalized.
Conflict of Interest
I’d complain that Jared negotiating on behalf of the US while on the payroll of other countries is a massive “Conflict of Interest,” but I know no one in the Trump administration knows the definition of that term.
Tariff Exemptions
As the Tariff exemptions roll in, watch how they map to those who donated to Trump and his inauguration. Patronage at work.
Who are these Bogeymen?
While there’s undoubtedly waste, what Musk and Trump are really doing is cutting programs they just don’t like. And agencies that would investigate or regulate them. All despite Congress passing bills to fund and spend on these programs and agencies. Trump and Musk just lie and misdirect to talk only about fraud and waste.
Felons
Menendez and Trump, a tale of two felons. The parties are not the same.
A study in contrast
A study in contrast: the Democrat response to Sen. Menendez being indicted on corruption charges, vs. the Texas GOP clearing Texas Attorney General Paxton of corruption chargers in his impeachment.
So far, the Democratic Governor of NJ, several Representatives and some Senators have called for Menendez to step down. There’s even an announced primary challenger.
Innocence until proven guilty is always the presumption. But we ensure follow through to drive corruption out of government when there’s such clear evidence and it can be proven.
Ken Paxton Reeks of Corruption
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton reeks of corruption. So much so that he’s facing lawsuits and indictments, and was charged with 16 articles of impeachment from the Texas House based on whistleblower accounts of his abuse of office and trading favors for political donations. He’s using taxpayer funds to pay a $3.3 million settlement for retaliation against whistleblowers. Yet still, the Texas Senate GOP held their nose and acquitted him.
Just another example of putting party over the people.
The Game
Republicans often don’t get that most Democrats would jettison their own candidates if there’s proof of real corruption.
Clarence Doesn’t Pay
Luxury trips, real estate, private school tuition for a dependent, payments to his wife with her name removed from the invoice to disguise it - Clarence Thomas is willing to take it all from rich benefactors without disclosing it.
It’s not the way our Supreme Court Justices should act.
It’s a Bad Look
Harlan Crow, billionaire sugar daddy to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, reportedly has a collection of Nazi memorabilia including a Hitler-autographed copy of “Mein Kampf” and a painting by Hitler.
Let’s face it, even if you’re a history buff, collecting Nazi memorabilia is not a good look.
