That's certainly not an accident.

Much is understandably made of the hatred and cruelty displayed by Trump and his right wing cronies and patrons, but what they really are first and foremost are thieves.

Yep, the US government has been the victim of state capture by a criminal organization. The checks and balances failed. Look at Russia to see what's ahead for the US.

It's the ultimate grift. Trump got a taste of what he could do and get away with. Then he teamed up with billionaires to offically rob the American people.

Yet MAGA is worried about podcasters and drag shows.

I'm not surprised, but this isn't new. The DoD has failed their audit for about the last decade.
