Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

An Ongoing Criminal Conspiracy

 The Trump Administration continues to be a cesspool of corruption and lawbreaking. Now we have evidence that the guy who's responsible for your mail being late has been violating campaign finance law. Before we degenerate in "bothsides," yes, the Bill Clinton has some sketchy things going on in 1996. Gore's great crime was making a phone call on White House grounds with a DNC calling card, as opposed to going down the street. That was a scandal! Now we have massive violations of the Hatch Act and of course DeJoy's contempt for the laws of America.

As always with Trumpistan, every allegation is a confession but in this case, Trump's rhetoric of "draining the swamp" and "I alone can fix it" is kind of the opposite. Here, he's routinely enabling the worst, most corrupt, least competent hangers on - from DeJoy to DeVos to Navarro to Kudlow to...Jesus it just keeps going.

It is painfully obvious that Trump is not alone in this. The entire GOP should be held accountable. They had an opportunity in January to end this Reign of Error and prop up Mike Pence to likely lose in November, as opposed to letting the Trumps and their myrmidons to loot the nation and likely lose in November.

Mitt Romney can stay, but every single Republican Senator is a co-conspirator in an ongoing crime.
