      Because they are used to it?

      Wage theft is the most common fiscal crime committed in America. Between that and things like ghost jobs, threats of being fired, being fired for asking for living wages, and so on, your typical American simply accepts abuse as THE way of life.

    Corruption has made the US a rotten place, if Republicans without brainrot wish to live in a country that isn’t tearing itself apart again they need to reject the corruption at all levels. They need to reject what they have so far accepted from their side as equally as they’ve rejected the corruption of the other side. The gains they think they’re making under this regime are crumbs from the table of corruption they unleash. There is no reason for anybody to be honest actors if the Republicans refuse their responsibilities to all their countrymen.

    If they can’t prosecute him because he’s a sitting president, he should also have to wait to bring any kind of lawsuit or grievance against the government.

      You’re not entirely wrong. The place basically legalized corruption and Americans were forced fed graphics saying how Guatemala and Somalia were the most corrupt so now they think what’s going on is just politics as usual.

        Thats why capitalism is always having a hay day. The exploitation of the working class is now a normal part of the day and politics normalized it through corrupt policies.

        Edit: Imagine being forced to pay a certain minimum because you’re a greedy piece of shit and you will understand why minimums are enforced.

    Oh for fucks sake - Trump and his goons aren’t even bothering to pretend to be legitimate any more. They’re brazenly nothing but vile, corrupt, autocratic pieces of shit and they’re fucking parading it in front of the world.

    We’re watching history unfold. The startlingly insane decline and fall of the United States under the deranged lunatic Trump is going to be the stuff of future legend.

    The good thing about the guy is he can’t seem to bank any. Like he bankrupted a casino. Not a casino next to a church in Calcutta. No, a casino in las Vegas! That’s like a pimp bankruptsy in the Amsterdam or Tijuana pink zones.

    Anyway he is good because he can’t bank for shit. That means the money flows and people get jobs! Its pretty simple, the economy is like an engine and money is the fuel. If you don’t move the fuel into the engine, the engine can’t move. So give the guy more money! Next thing you know there will be a Hollywood movie about him and maybe crackers and beef with his name.

    Cool, I demand eleventy gazillion dollars from Trump for giving me a headache every fucking day. I declare that the first first vote either way on this post validates it as a legit demand due and payable…
