An infestation of shameless con artists, hucksters and sadists who comprise the most corrupt and deadly crime family in history. One that is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. A crime family that has exploited its political power to enrich themselves with billions of taxpayer dollars – money that was intended to improve lives of the impoverished and the downtrodden as well as ordinary hardworking Americans.
The Felon-in-Chief has used his position to finally become the billionaire he long claimed to be. He has raked in billions through licensing agreements, foreign gifts, and investments, including more than $1.4 billion from his unethical and likely illegal cryptocurrency venture. And when he’s not filling his pockets, he’s wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds on his grotesque vanity projects. Likewise, his sons, daughter and son-in-law have used their relationships to finagle multi-billion-dollar government contracts and foreign investments.
Not to be outdone, members of the cabinet and other officials have enriched themselves through apparent insider trading. The former head of DHS, the FBI director, the Transportation Secretary, and others have helped themselves to taxpayer funds through luxury trips, extended vacations and more. Even the Trump-appointed ambassadors seem to be on the take as evidenced by the recently exposed scandal involving Kimberly Guilfoyle and the revelation that Ambassador Mike Hudkabee’s family is selling trips to Israel. (Perhaps they should include tours of Gaza and the West Bank so their clients can experience genocide firsthand.)
Because of Trump’s promise that they will receive pardons at the end of his term, the entire administration seems to be engaged in a contest to see which of them can make off with the most taxpayer money. Or who can extort the largest bribes…er…gifts from foreign governments. Or who can finagle the biggest federal contract for their family and friends.
Though they’re obviously skilled at corruption, they’re utterly incompetent at the jobs they are paid to do. As a result, we’re immersed in an ill-advised and unwinnable war, inflation is exploding, and the national debt is soaring.
It’s time we fumigate our government to end this infestation. A blue wave in this midterm election could result in the impeachment and conviction of numerous members of the crime family. Then we should find a way to prosecute them all, despite the expected pardons, and claw back every dime with interest and additional billions in penalties.
