    Has there ever been a more explicit, formal, and overt monetization of the presidency or any government position? Remember when the fucking idiots who voted for this pile of shit whined and whined about “the swamp”?

      The SEC that the controls? Who should be doing something is Congress. But, they’re mostly in on it.

    I remember when Americans took to the streets over a couple of cops being unjustly exonerated for beating a guy.

    Americans aren’t angry enough anymore.

      Outrage fatigue has set in, along with a fucked up economy, weak job market, and inflation. Will people accept all this as the “new normal” and just keep trying to survive it? Most will until they can’t anymore. I don’t know what that’s going to look like, but I hope it’s rooted deeply in civil disobedience and destruction of corporate control over us all.

      A few well placed Luigi’s is also fine.

    Remember when the Biden Crime Family just openly charged fees for insider trading information?

    Yeah. Me neither.
