You can’t make up all these stories about the historic corruption of the Trump administration. It makes Teapot Dome and other scandals look like shoplifting. Pardoning a crypto king, CZ Zhao, who is doing big business with, you guessed it, the Trump family’s crypto company.
Then thanks to Judd Legum and the New York Times, we learned that Trump is relaxing rules that would have stopped companies like Extremity Care from charging prohibitive prices up to $11,000 per square inch to Medicare for bandages and skin substitutes. You know that gaudy new ballroom he’s building that dwarfs the White House?
Guess who privately donated? $2.5 million. Extremity Care, a subsidiary of Tiger Bioscience. It would have been cheaper to build that monstrosity with public funds.
But the petty stuff gets your juices going too. The FBI director, Kash Patel, uses a government plane, financed by you, taxpayers, to go see his girlfriend.
You know, I’ll tell you, before Mary and Judy, Carvalho and might have been players with taxpayer-funded planes for dates. It gets worse. Patel fired one of the FBI transportation officials, falsely believing he leaked this, even though Patel’s use of the plane is public. All cash may make us softer on the nefarious J. Edgar Hoover, who never would have used a government plane to see a girlfriend.
J. E. Hoover and “girlfriend’ don’t belong in the same sentence.
Sardonisim is alive and well.
What do you think of this crazy idea: Rename Democratic Party the Democracy Party. Motto: "It's The Economy Stupid."?
