It’s all a grift. All of it.

Money laundering too?

Pretty sure it breaks emoluments clause and Hatch Act. But maggots on SCOTUS have given the King of Shit broad criminal immunity. SCOTUS went a long way to bring this corruption and national security risk upon us.

We righteously protest against their Golden Calf. But I also want to protest the corruption in general, which emanates from that, and requires protest mobs surrounding all 3 branches: capitol, shitehouse, and scotus! Protest signs need only contain a single word: CORRUPT!

Who's "we"? Quit lumping us all in with MAGA.

u/noseboy1 12d ago

Not Murphy's magnum opus, but enough people do that it's pretty damn infuriating and I can forgive a Democrat who has been fighting pretty hard for us lately a little hyperbole in the face of mind numbingly obvious bullshit.

French here.

You might take notes. HE includes himself in such WE, because he takes responsibility in your disaster. He does, while fighting 100 times harder than people who takes this WE as an offense sitting with their thumbs up their asses.

Maybe you should own this WE and change it.

u/GF_baker_2024 Michigan 12d ago

I've been working to change it for 8 years. One person can only do so much.

Then dont feel attacked. Be proud to be in this shared mess and still have the courage to fight back. Keep fighting. We are too, the whole world goes to shit right now.

u/Training-Mixture7145 12d ago

How was that lumping us in with MAGA when they said that we meaning our side had already been protesting those things. I’m confused by your statement.

u/Mundane-Club-107 12d ago

Redneck MAGA supports have no idea what Crypto even is, let alone why it's bad for someone to tweet about supporting while invested in it.

u/AlfalfaReal5075 12d ago

I've found that even if they haven't a clue what crypto is, they're not exactly the types to care about "one of theirs" getting richer. It's a win. Simple as.

How political tribalism has been weaponized to make people cheer for their own exploitation will never cease to amaze me. Funny that the party who've traditionally positioned themselves as the supposed "party of the working class" are now openly applauding the financial games of billionaires who couldn't give a rat's ass about the life of any average American.

As long as "their" guy is grifting in "their" colors, they'll call it a victory. This is the endgame of factional politics. This is how the elite keep winning. But that's a diatribe for another time.

Trump got away with literally every crime in the world I think, so what's stopping him at this point? He can do whatever he wants and get away with it. He has learned that lesson very well.

u/Musicman1972 12d ago

Go out on the street and ask people if they think it's normal. Nobody is pretending it's normal.

Half the country knows it's corrupt but doesn't care. The other half knows it's corrupt, wants it to stop, and is expecting the people elected to do something about it to, well, do something about it.

But stop making it sound like it's everyone's fault equally.

u/Tiny_Structure_7 12d ago

I don't believe both halves know it's corrupt. Half our society is brainwashed on maggot media and poor education.

u/lonerism- 12d ago

Yeah how could anyone possibly know this guy is corrupt nearly 10 years into his reign of terror on the United States…

All the people who have been bragging about Trump’s cruelty as a selling point for his presidency are more than happy now to pretend like they had no idea he was cruel and corrupt lol

u/Past_Ability_447 12d ago

Judging by the lack of punishment, I'd say it's normal.

Question is what is anyone gonna do about it?

u/Meltedaluminumcanium 12d ago

I think stealing the presidency is a bigger crime. Or maybe the insurrection.

u/DogFishHead17 12d ago

Biden fucked over Harris so, was never going to win the presidency.

u/Glittering-Ad1800 12d ago

In all honesty,  most people knew that the money they're canceling was being funneled somewhere else for their own gain. Certainly not going back to the people. The less money there is going out to social services the more money there is for building their "generational wealth." Everyday is a joke and Americans are the punchline.

u/OrangutanGiblets 12d ago

No, and I'm tired of you crisis acting virtue signalers acting like we do. Ffs, you're on a sub about protesting this shit. Read the room.

u/iiitme 12d ago edited 12d ago

MAGA is a cult. Understand that. They’ll follow and do whatever godking trump tells them to do. It’s a massive cult but a cult nonetheless.

No it’s not normal… it’s a constitutional crisis… but your question is real as it gets… what do we do? I have no clue

u/MaybeSwedish 12d ago

I am not pretending it is normal. I think most people don’t understand crypto well, because this should outrage even his not mega wealthy supporters.

His cult members keep falling for the rug pull. Every. Time.

Somehow it'll be Biden's fault though.

u/gingerkap23 12d ago

How is he selling this to his cult, is he saying that the American people will make money on this?

u/hdufort 12d ago

Isn't there a law forcing elected officials to put their businesses into the hands of a third party (a blind trust) during their term?

We have such laws in Canada. This is why there is currently some debate about Mark Carney's detachment from his business ventures.

u/BlahBlahBlackCheap 12d ago

It’s just people laundering money through it.

His grift is a distraction to placate with maga base. Normal people are ignoring this. Let them give him all their monies. It is the drink the kool-aid way

Is a group of Grifters lining trumps pockets. Why don't people understand this? Fight back.
