We have not even begun to find a way to politicize the gross corruption of the Trump Administration. Just the outright firesale of impunity for people who pay him for it.

Reposted from Robert Reich

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.

Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.

See how this works?

It's all a giant pay to play scheme

Hypocritical liars and criminals. This administration is nothing but batshit crazy lunatics, sex fiends, assholes, drunks, cunts, and suck-ups desperate for attention. Fucking sick of this bullshit.

This is also a structural issue. Companies should not be allowed to give money to ANY politician, for any reason. It is these deep structural issues that need to be rooted out.

What % of people will hear about this? 27% maybe, few of which are MAGA.

how many memberships in Junior's clubhouse would that buy?

I think people have given up on it because *legal* remedies either failed or are now (at least temporarily) unavailable. But you are right. This should be a major pillar of the *political* fight so that there is ravenous thirst for aggressive reform at the next opportunity.

How much money do you think Trump has stolen so far?

mi-forest.bsky.social•1 day ago

he doubled his wealth in the last year so the reports have said.

I think he’s trying to outdo the Ferdinand Marcos family, who stole billions from the Philippines treasury. He may have surpassed that in just 100 days.

I’d love to know to, and we all deserve to know.

continue.

The most corrupt administration in US history.

edwalker.bsky.social•20 hours ago

In Trump v. US Roberts points to the Constitution Art. 2, § 4 to say impeachment is the remedy for bribery; then explains that criminal prosecution is possible over Barrett's dissent. What he doesn't explain is how that is to happen when Trump controls the prosecutors.

It's only impunity if we don't convict them of bribery later.

In other banking news, “JPMorgan went ahead with the loan, knowing it would eventually be sold in pieces to unwitting investors.”https://www.innercitypress.com/sdny5howellsvchaseicp042925.html

You do it the same way Greg Cesar did today, over and over and over again.

He may not retire in jail, but everyone involved in these corrupt transactions will not be pardoned.
