Awful: Senate investigations into Trump's solicitation of $1 billion from Big Oil and Jared Kushner's financial dealings with Saudis will now hit a wall with GOP control, Dems tell me. We're headed for unchecked elite corruption under Trump.

Authoritarian regimes are always corrupt and the only reason anyone in power will get arrested and prosecuted is if they do something to displease the leader or those around him.
Musk gave himself an official government account and is hiring people who must have paid X for a membership so they can DM their resume. It's Utter corruption and that's the USA now. We have fallen
*is there a sarcasm font around here*
Dammit.
We prepare while they cry how can this happen, but we were promised.
Deplorable!!
On the Democrat side, we need a more balanced approach to Industry. We need industry to make our country work, and under the Biden admin, the amount of regulation and control from the Obama da
admin. grew by more than 10 times.
Democrats are morally strong but politically feeble. Republicans are politically strong but morally bankrupt. Democrats need to learn to use their political advantages to enact change and stop doing what you highlighted above.
In a few years trump, Elmo, bezos etc will be worth half a trillion dollars each.
B/c when it comes to penetrating public consciousness, they have failed.
And they may have done some decent work, but not enough to break through & make a real difference.
It's what they voted for.
They slow rolled investigations behind closed doors.
These should have been out in the open slam dunk cases.
Which means I don't think they wanted them to go anywhere.
Kleptocracy!
Just me, but Greg's feed of never ending horror stories is bad; he should post stuff like below, stuff that you can do that will help today

His probe into Kushner's dealings will now get much harder with GOP control.

“Trump is showing he will reward people who help him by giving them tremendous influence over his admin,” @noahbookbinder.bsky.social says.

1. Break the normal operations of gov't
2. Enrage Dems; further cow disloyal Repubs
3. Leverage $ opportunities created by 1 and distraction with
both 1&2 to enable massive corruption
Everything 47 does obfuscates a grift. Follow the money.

"DJT may be one of the most manipulated stocks in market history. The fundamentals show it is virtually worthless. I see it as a money laundering system for foreign and domestic players to bribe Trump for future favors. "

Democracy is on life support , personal freedoms gone, the right of representative government is fading.
Goodbye America, a great experiment while it lasted.
American democracy can be saved but it will be costly, sacrifice many lives, shed blood.
One can only bang one’s head against the wall for so long…
Unless the country elects themselves a democrat. Then everything Trump fucked up will stay fucked up, because that's how democrats work.
