And a few decades ago, Carter put his family peanut farm into a blind trust to avoid the mere suspicion of a conflict of interest.

The Grifter in Chief.

You also have to add the numerous kickbacks Trump's family has received through deals done by the federal government.

All this is hardly reported because the administration has successfully cowed the media.

I wonder if Democrats will have the courage to pursue justice to the fullest if/when they're back in power.

Corruption is what kills countries.

Our inability to stop this is a very bad sign about our future.

Weak country Weak constitution Thoughts and prayers masquerading as checks and balances

Military coup now, seize the global assets of everyone involved in this shambles of an administration, imprison them and their families. Disappear them.

Rewrite the constitution so this can never happen again.

So, when would billionaires want to remove politicians? When the politicians are

a) too corrupt or

b) not corrupt enough

The answer seems obvious. To me, at least, apparently not to quite many US citizen.

What baffles me is, how do the people who like him justify this to themselves? Do they just pretend it's not happening? Like, this is third world dictator levels of corruption, but the third world dictator's corruption is _usually_ not so blatantly visible while it's going on. This is all very... out in the open.
