Give that Donald Trump is the biggest thief of this century, only after Putin, Americans are justified in viewing status quo as being corrupt.

The corruption is that this thread is rehashed ...

But here's a new one CA collected $1B from fees on CO2 emissions to build solar farms for one million low-income renters.
$200 million has been spent, about a third of which went to overhead.
Only 65,600 residents have received power from the program.

Where is the $800Million going? Well contractor and his intermediaries.

California is proof, FREE is expensive.

Federal judges found many of the administration's actions to be illegal and unconstitutional,[46] and by mid-July, a Washington Post analysis found he defied judges and the courts in roughly one third of all cases against him, actions which were described by legal experts as unprecedented for any presidential administration.[47

This is what happens when the Supreme Court says the POTUS is above the law

Is SCOTUS above the Law Too?

They sure act like it.

This is a Coup.

They are slow balling it a little but it's effectively the same.

Trump makes new law Executively and The SCOTUS let's him roll with it without explaining why or making it a precedent.

Congress just sits there and Gawks.

They seem to not want to be responsible for much of Anything as long as it's Trump's Will.

The only good thing is if they lose the Majority all of this Crap can be stripped away Quickly.

Unfortunately,Biden left a lot of Trump's worst policies in place.

Specifically, the Nuclear Agreement with Iran.

Biden could have rejoined it and Avoided War Later.

Instead he Funded and Armed Israel knowing they were Killing without Limits and Refused to Rejoin the Nuclear Agreement.

Biden kept the single WORST policy of Trump's first Term Imtact.

The Democratic Party can't be Trusted Either.

We're Screwed.

By showing us how it's done?

By being the worst case example of corruption in U.S. history?

The Trumpy Error is worse than the Yazoo Land Fraud (1789-1795) and the Teapot Dome (1921-1923) and the Credit Mobilier (1872) corruption scandals COMBINED.

Heck of job Trumpy. Heck of a job.
