How corrupt does a Republican have to be for the Republican Party to oust him? Pretty fucking corrupt. Once upon a time, the Republican Party was somewhat responsible and was ready to impeach President Richard Nixon over Watergate, forcing his resignation, but this isn't the 1970s anymore. The Republican Party refused to impeach and convict... Continue Reading →
Treasonous Business
Republicans don't actually care about corruption. They only care about taking partisan shots. Donald Trump is corrupt. Donald Trump didn't just take money from foreign nations at his hotel and resorts during his presidency (sic). He openly sought it, like the time he attempted to host the G7 Summit at one of his failing bedbug... Continue Reading →
Which Corruption?
Last week, a Manhattan jury found the Trump Organization guilty on 17 criminal counts stemming from a tax-dodging executive-compensation scheme. The company would pay executives with apartments, cars, tuition, etc, and not pay taxes on the lavish gifts. Former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, the scheme’s chief beneficiary, pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against... Continue Reading →
Mar-a-Lago Confetti Shower
When the House committee investigating the January 6 white nationalist terrorist attack on the Capitol won its legal case to gain access to documents from the Trump administration, it was discovered that a lot of those documents had been taped back together. Presidential historian Lindsay Chervinsky told The Washington Post, "The only way that a... Continue Reading →
Very Nice
Rudy Giuliani is being investigated for lobbying violations. Matt Gaetz is being investigated for sex trafficking and for sex with a minor. Donald Trump is being investigated for everything else.

Trump Tapes
After hearing tapes of Donald Trump's call with Georgia's secretary of state, I'm even more convinced he's going to issue a self-pardon. On Saturday, Donald Trump called Brad Raffensperger, the secretary of state, and harangued the guy for over an hour. It was a phone call the secretary shouldn't have taken. Raffensperger was kind and... Continue Reading →
Defund The NRA
The National Rifle Association has been a very secretive organization for decades. They won't publicize their funding or even how many members they have, but there is one thing we know about them. They're evil incarnate. For years, the lobbying group has controlled the Republican Party (also evil) and has succeeded in blocking even the... Continue Reading →
Pardo For Blago
The Trump cult likes to believe Donald Trump is a great negotiator. So how do they deal with the fact that he's been publicly out-negotiated by people like Nancy Pelosi and Kim Jong Un? They pretend it never happened. They were proud of Trump being a billionaire who promised to release his taxes. When he... Continue Reading →
Money For Corruption
The argument doesn't work anymore. But like most of Trump's arguments and excuses, the lie that he withheld military aid from Ukraine because he had to make sure the new administration wasn't corrupt is totally bogus. Trump himself made it clear it wasn't working when he changed the excuse to withholding the money because Europe... Continue Reading →
Devin Has A Cow Over Corruption
Devin Nunes, the top-ranking Republican on the Intelligence Committee (which held impeachment hearings over the past two weeks), says reports he met with a former Ukrainian prosecutor a criminal campaign against him by a "totally corrupt" news media. Nunes was chairman of the Intelligence Committee during the first two years of the Trump administration where... Continue Reading →
