And here's how corrupt the corruption is. Senator Murphy was right when he said last Wednesday that the purpose of the t ariffs was to force countries, companies and individuals to come to the Godawfulfather and bend the knee to be blessed with the opportunity to surrender to him.
And here's what he said today flying back from Mar-a-Lardass after his strenuous weekend winning yet another championship at one of his golf courses:
“I spoke to a lot of Europeans, Asians, all over the world. They’re dying to make a deal. They are coming to the table. They want to talk but there’s no talk unless they pay us a lot of money on a yearly basis.”
The US government and the US public are like a blue whale, truly enormous. Sharks like the Orange One can take a lot of big bites out of the whale before it succumbs to the collective impact of 1000 chunks ripped from its hide. It seems outrageous that the first family can benefit to the tune of 100 million dollars on transaction fees for mere vapor, but when its a million persons wagering 100 dollars on something whose value is ethereal, they'll say no one was harmed. That's how big those entities are. The grift is just as bad whether it's $100 or $100 million. We have been inured to the outrage due to the sheer magnitude of it; we can't wrap our minds around sums that far outweigh anything we have ever experienced ourselves.
I think you're right, but, you know, the blue whale can survive a whole lot of shark bites and go on. But if the whale opens its mouth and swallows the shark, that's the end of the smaller creature. I am hoping that Hands Off was a sign of the whale shaking itself and starting to open its maw.
While a “great number of Americans” will see the connection and, it is hoped act on it, very few, if any, Republicans in Congress will. The most we can expect, and this is nothing at all, is some pearl clutching from the likes of Susan Collins. There is nothing that the Trump mob could do, nothing, including for example, the establishment of death camps for undocumented immigrants, hundreds of thousand s falling victim to death by starvation and disease, that would prompt any protest or opposition from Congressional Republicans.
But the main issue is why no group anywhere actually rises and takes on Trump aggressively. Not one single group!! But now the Supreme Court willl say nothing about his disregard of their irder as well. See, now they do not count either. If all stand together - all - we could possibly still save our country. If no standing together then the only branch that will soon exist alone is the executive branch . We heard today that the SCOTUS doesn’t; Congress has already acquiesced. Perhaps we are now living in a dictatorship.
Not one shot fired. All done by a con and a computer manipulator.

Right there in front of everyone.
Well done, Jon. As an aside, I made extra signs for the protest Saturday for those without. One of them did say “Stop the Grift”!
My naturalized neighbor, heretofore a rabid Felon 47 supporter visited yesterday. He’s disgusted. And done. I had no need to say “I told you so.”
That is encouraging!

Thank you Jon and keep
beating this drum.
Eventually more will hear
it and pay attention.
WIRE needs to post names of the 5 million
dollar diners and the
suckers paying 1 million
to dine with an orange
bafoon.

It was honest until November? That’s hilarious. The whole system and both parties being corrupt is how Trump won.
I don’t think I spotted a single one that concentrated on the corruption that is wracking our society. Not one.
Including you. 😁😁
The two major characteristics of this administration are corruption and incompetence. Read Jon Rauch “One Word Describes Trump.” Completely on point.
I can’t think of anything to say that hasn’t been said better. But ‘ the Godawfulfather’ has to become part of our lexicon. Thank you , TC in LA
