It should surprise no one that the man who made his living selling Trump-branded condos to Russian mobsters through anonymous LLCs, and who paid a ten million dollar fine to FinCEN in 2015 as a settlement in his money-laundering case involving his Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City (which was found to have willfully and repeatedly violated the Bank Secrecy Act), had his supplicant Treasury Secretary gut the Corporate Accountability Act this week; effectively
Wow. What an informative and intense piece, and so on the money! I knew Trump was a sleazebag, but I honestly had no understanding of the scope of his criminality. Fuck him!!! It's waaaaay past time we took to the streets!
"To never be dislodged from their privileged perch of insatiable profiteering, and naked, blatant corruption is the ultimate goal the MAGA movement."
It's the ultimate goal of Trump and others who are using the MAGA movement. I doubt many rank-and-file MAGAs are more than dimly aware of the scope of this administration's corruption. They're too busy trying to stretch the diminishing buying power of their wages over ever-rising prices for essentials.
Every day I see and read about more MAGAs describing their disgust with Trump and berating themselves for being scammed by him and his minions. Maybe we should use that sense of betrayal to open their eyes to the big picture, and say, "No, you didn't vote for this. But this is what Trump and Republicans did with the power you handed them. You have a chance this fall to let them know furious you are: either vote for candidates running against Republicans, or refuse to vote at all."
Ugh , this is not the country I grew up in. If I wrote all this as a story it would be labeled FICTION! No one would believe this nonsense is actually true and happening right before our eyes. It’s unbelievable how many gullible fools can’t see this administrations for the organized crime group it is. Hope everyone in Hawaii is safe from the storm. Thx Noel for the info.
We live in a country with a 1000 billionaires and 21% of children living in poverty. Sniveling unprincipled geldings and hypocrites like Mike Johnson lament that any attempt to reconcile these sort of vulgarities would be the vanquishing of our republic by Marxist crackpots. Trump is a metastatic urinal mint- but just basic republican worldviews are the long term wipeout.
Not gonna lie…the escalating pace of the outrages coming at us right now are totally terrifying and are freaking me out.
I am really concerned that there seems to be no core of leadership to rally the resistance against this mobster regime.
The corporate media is intentionally laser focusing on the supposed infighting between the progressives and the Dem centrists…giving Trump a pass on his mounting failures, outrages and blatant corruption.
How do we gain some control over the narrative? How do we counter the tendency toward cynicism and detachment that beckons in times like these?

Seems worth a try.
