This is just disgusting. If republicans weren’t immune to hypocrisy, the world would be a better place.

The USA is a joke. The constant grifting and the staggering incompetence is stinking mad.

It would be tempting to label this as regular grift, but, one of the few areas the guy’s been consistent is his Quixotic quest against windmills

  His MO is always one (or both) of two things: grift, or revenge. He's still butthurt that he couldn't kill the offshore windmills near his Scottish golf club, and so now he wants to kill all wind farms. It just so happens that he can pay a buddy from taxpayer dollars to do this job, and it would of course have to include a kickback so that they both win. Pretty standard behavior for him.

    And Americans continue to limit themselves to angry posts online. The streets are empty so the grifting continues.

    Short of an actual peasant revolt, it wouldn't matter. All three branches are owned by him, as is the military and the police.

    Americans have the most disposable income on earth and a very high quality of life.
    Trump's obvious graft, corruption, and general behavior disgust me, but why exactly would a meaningful number of people risk throwing their lives away to protest a man-baby who will be out of office in a little over 2 years if a cheeseburger doesn't get him first, and will probably be politically neutered in under 6 months?

The constant grift is appalling.

  Every single day a new story that would have been a scandal in itself. There is absolutely no end to that administration level of greed and corruption.

  And yet so normalized at this point. It's going to be an article in the news for a day or two, then it's gone because a new one comes along.
