The blatant corruption of the Republican party is absolutely breathtaking.

An effluvium all it's own, their stench is.

It is no longer a political party...it is a crime syndicate. And in charge of policing their own crime.

All I can add is what Zerlina said many times on her SiriusXM radio program: "It's telling that the country voted for a convicted felon BEFORE we got a woman for President"-- paraphrasing, of course, but it's the truth, and for this American Patriot, disturbing.

If only this country had a Department of Justice, or an SEC...

The smell of corruption….

Playing in the sewer will do that...

"There are signs that Trump fans may be unable to prop up TMTG stock indefinitely."

I mean, people have been propping up Donald Trump for his entire life. Why would it stop now?

Adam's avatar

They all get broked? Hahaha! If only.

I think that true MAGA would regard their monetary losses as contributions to their beloved cause. Confirming Trump's clear but unstated view of them as suckers.

The buck has to stop somewhere, they say, one can only hope.

Never has the prospect of making money been less appealing. Interesting that Trump's whole reason for being is to increase wealth and power is now a huge turn-off. Adding the sham crypto.com could even be the key to losing all these profits! We'd not be sad.

I have never been greedy and now after the last 15 years or so, I am less inclined to indulge in avarice than ever.

Look at all of these horrid, ugly, awful 'people' who prostrate themselves in the orbit of the constantly consistent criminal-in-chief, hoping to benefit from his largess no matter that he will make them crawl to receive the reward that he may just withhold at the very last moment on a whim for entertainment value.

Go ahead and complain. You can get a free vacation to sunny El Salvador, too.

Crawl through excrement, no less.

I find it sad. He is 79 and won't last much longer. It boggles my mind, when is it enough.

NanceeM's avatar

Wishful thinking, I'm afraid. He is fueled by hate and the pleasure of cruelty. And golf, of course!

Henry's avatar

This man is amazing. Master criminal. Of course he's taking every advantage of his position and...his followers... and now offering the ill gotten gains to his billionaire supporters and hanger on ners.(subscribers). Not a stable genius but "diabolical" like the "Joker". How ever can he be stopped...where's batman? Are they really eating the cats and dogs?

NanceeM's avatar

The answer may be that he can't be stopped, in which case we need a plan that circumvents him.

This was totally expected. I am not smart enough to have predicted this exact scenario, but it was going to happen one way or another.

Katy Bolger's avatar

I wonder about your use of the phrase "not smart enough" to describe "law-abiding". Perhaps if you surround yourself with crooked lawyers you might be smart enough to be a criminal.

Hannah's avatar

Precisely. I don't think that way, so I wouldn't come up with that idea. I wasn't really meaning law abiding, I meant calculating if you want to take it apart.

Trump is corrupt. Dog bites man. Not news.

It would be interesting to find out where he is stashing his money. He knows that he can only stay out of jail as long as he is president. He knew that if he lost in 2024 he would have to go somewhere that did not have extradition to the U.S.A. Being elected in 2024 has given him another shot at skimming money. He not a professional politician he is a professional criminal.

How long will this debacle continue?! On every side everything is illegal and we’re sleepwalking through it! We seemingly can’t trust Congress, the military or even police to do anything! All US attorneys and members of the Justice Department arguing in court to protect this corrupt administration should be held in contempt and jailed.

Trump nepotism & serial grift MO endangers not just or economy, & our human rights, but our national security.

A serial grifter is your Chosen One? #Accountability for Trump & his organized crime syndicate with 5th columnists that poses an existential threat not just to our democracy, but to the entire Western world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBIRwoFY2-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc_kHemnEeY #VoteBlue

How crooked does Trump have to get before he can end up in an El Salvadoran gulag??

NanceeM's avatar

Since he is prosecutor, judge and jury - and maybe executioner, no end in sight.

Which part of his "official duties" is selling investments?

GingerLee's avatar

we have Dump & Muck at the helm what could go wrong? Every day they are in "charge" convinces me that the election was faulty... muck certainly has teenagers who can get in and out of a site with no prints left. Look what they did to the Labor Department site? Mockler has a chilling account of it

Stephen Miller is at the helm. Trump and Musk are the side show.
