Golden age of grift

[Mac1958]

I think they know that je is a crook but he is their crook. None of their contributions on this thread even acknowledge the issue.
They built a whole industry around Bidens supposed dishonesty but never prroduced a scrap of evidence.
Their servile acceptance is what empowers dictators.

That's exactly right. He's the Bad Guy, but he's THEIR Bad Guy. Theirs is a simplistic, pro wrestling mentality, and how ironic is it that he's been involved in pro wrestling. Hell, he has a top person from Pro Wrestling IN HIS FUCKING CABINET.

Americans love their anti-heroes. It's a Batman movie and he's the Joker. They couldn't care less about the damage he causes.

All politicians grift.

What a STUPID comment that is!!! No wonder you vote for a convicted felon.

Only if the voters are too lazy and stupid to stop them. You elected a convicted criminal. Talk about stupid!!

That too!!!

Plus he hires people on the basis of their looks. Overweight homely people need not apply. The cabinet looks so good on TV now. No bald ugly people, and almost no one who isn't white.

He hired Pete Hegseth because he looks so good on TV. Straight out of Central Casting. That's working so well for him.

‘Roadmap for corruption’: Trump dive into cryptocurrency raises ethics alarm

The president’s hawking of $Trump memecoin has sparked a firestorm of criticism over potential influence buying

www.theguardian.com

This isx breathtaking stuff. Dive in to crypto and abolish all the govt checks on crypto. It enables you to pick up bribes from all countries and convicted criminals.
Of course it doesnt affect your judgement in any way whatsoever.

America needs some sort of grifter clause in its constitution to prevent this in future. Maybe something that deals with emoluments?

I bet you $10 that at least 50% of our Congress holds a Bitcoin wallet
