Common estimates are that he’s made $4B off the presidency, he got the Supreme Court to decide that any “official” act by him is legal, and sued his own justice department for $10B to orchestrate a “settlement” with a legally binding agreement to never charge him with anything.
He’s ready to retire now
Edit: oh, we’re only talking Iran? At some point Iran will propose everything they want and hype it online as trumps plan so he can say “winning!”
I do. She wasn’t just the only candidate who was not an evil egocentric conman, but would have continued policies for the long term improvement in the country.
My biggest complaint against Biden policies was this country is too schizophrenic for policies that build over a long term. Another 4 years might have gotten the ball rolling enough so they couldn’t be turned back. Meanwhile back in the real world, most were canceled after spending huge amounts of money but before we could see any benefit
…. And if anyone knows treason, it’s mango Mussolini
Fantastic that seeing consequences for some of their actions …. And there’s no presidential pardon keeping him above the law
We have laws against treason that just need to be enforced.
But we had to elect him: he’s good for business. He said so many times on that stupid “reality” show he funded about himself. Never mind the long history of bankruptcies, tax evasion, and contract breaking
I never said they weren’t cowards. A craven sycophant can still recognize how far they’ve fallen and have an attack of conscience
Trump would not be able to cause as much harm without all the evil self-servicing minions to carry out his whims. Trump may be old, Trump may have had a rubber stamp Supreme Court say he has complete immunity, but his minions haven’t. Consider the silver lining when he passes that all those minions are subject to the law without his blanket pardons. Thats the real opportunity
There’s a good chance many of the cowards are “the good ones”. Surely some of them have enough of a sense of morality to not want to be part of this …… to not kiss the feet of the golden idol
Jd Vance has committed fraud against the concept of human intelligence, and should be in jail for trying to abuse the power of government for personal gain
Seems like a lot of stories recently about government services quietly resuming after going through the court system. Maybe there’s hope for us yet.
Of course then there’s the offshore wind fiasco. After losing in court, the current administration want to pay $1B for the developer to not develop approved wind farms? How is that anything other than wasting our tax money for personal spite, just to make lives more difficult?
The anticorruption policy where I work requires me to disclose anything more than $50. But I guess there is no morality standard here
I wish it hadn’t come to that … it ought to be more straightforward to roll back the clock, as MAGAts want to do. Roll back all those tax cuts for the wealthy. Roll back Supreme Court decisions letting them avoid taxes. Roll back letting corporate money dominate politics. Roll back union busting.
Income taxes used to be very progressive, in that wealthy people paid a much higher percentage. However now that ladder stops, the percentage stops rising, and ever more wealth and money accumulation can be defined as “not income”, so the wealthy pay the least in taxes (by percentage).
Rolling back these changes should help narrow the huge gap of income inequality, reduce corporate ownership of our government, and give ordinary people more of a voice
This is his chance to retcon the goal - by wrecking one of the biggest oil producing regions in the world, his owners can see even more profits as the us dominates oil production. It was “intentional”. /s
As long as there’s no budget, he gets to say “see, government is a swamp”, and convince all too many to vote against their legislators to “drain the swamp” (ie redirect the blame), and convince all too many it’s ok for him to act without regard to constitutional checks and balances
I’m still expecting it to be enforced only against people who “look like” undocumented immigrants
Many of us have legislators that are doing something to try to keep fascism/racism/classsism at bay
I’m fully ready to believe those gullible uneducated rednecks are acting in good faith, after falling for the most vile manipulative hate speech
This kills my only hope …… a couple weeks ago I was trying to be positive on environmental news and made a big deal to my kids that during their lifetime they’ll be able to eat unlimited tuna.
The general recommendation for tuna has always been to limit it to once a week, to moderate mercury poisoning. The mercury is generally from coal emissions. However globally we appear to be at peak coal and likely to drop quickly, given china’s rapid buildout of renewables both there and in developing countries, and given US coal use has been declining for years. In only a couple decades we’ll have greatly reduced mercury contaminating the ocean food chain, a few more years for it to drop out of the food chain, then MTGA, Make Tuna Great Again!
It seems inevitable but this one deranged individual can noticeably slow the process. Can I still hope my kids will see it?
BS.
I understand the desire for justice, I agree this case is egregious, and the proof does seem out in the open, but wishing doesn’t make it so
