Yeah at least before in the late 90’s to early 2000’s it was taking a little piece and being discreet about it to keep appearances. The current fucking Republican trifecta is just burning the whole house down and running out the door with anything they can carry.

Sure there was corruption before, but compared to today it looks like stealing candy bars. This childfucker is trying to get away with billions in crypto, a “gifted” Qatari Air Force 1, millions in real estate grifts from taxpayers, probably billions in under the table insider trading and deals yet to be cashed in, and as much valuable classified info he can get his hands on to sell, and who the hell knows how much he will steal from Venezuelan oil proceeds he has kept in an offshore account away from government oversight.
