I guess I had forgotten but Chris Wallace during one of the debates asked Trump point blank if he only payed 750 dollars in Federal Tax in 2016 and 2017. Trump of course lied in everyone's face.

Trump would say that no, he did not pay it - his accountant did.
 
I wonder whether historians will view Dump as the epitome of this period in which a "rich" person could do anything and not serve time unless he messed with other rich people (Madoff).

There are two pathologies that distinguish Dump. One is his criminality, but the other is his complete lack of having to answer to any consequences. He is the poster child of the rich being not above but outside the law. It simply does not apply to him.

Because at the moment, there are two things that distinguish Dump. One is his criminality, but the other is his complete lack of having to answer to any consequences.

... or if we'll look at it as the end of the US democratic experiment.
 
Brazilian law enforcement intends to go after George santos on fraud charges lol

speaking of fraud, Kevin moved into Speaker suite but he may have to move out if he can’t pull this off
 
This is how you appeal to Republicans to make your case for why you should be speaker:

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy spent the first two days of the new year trying to shore up GOP support for his bid to be Speaker by releasing a series of proposals aimed at winning over hard-right detractors who stand to torpedo his ascension.

The part of his proposed changes to House rules that drew the most attention was allowing just five House members to call for a vote at any time on ousting the Speaker; that would render McCarthy beholden to the most extreme members of his caucus, should he get on their wrong side. But buried in the text was another provision that could be highly consequential for the new Congress being sworn in on Tuesday: language that would effectively gut the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE).

When a political party tells you what it is, believe it.

End the Right
Save the world
 
I just can't imagine why someone would debase himself like this, just for a title.

I mean, this is Mitt dining with Trump level of debasement.

My god...he is going to have to accept a rule that will lead to him being ousted just to get the job. That is pathetic.

If he had a spine, or a brain he would just walk away. The Speaker is going to be hated for all the bs investigations and in 2 years the House is flipping back no matter what the "experts"think right now. This is the Paul Ryan career ender only faster and harder!

Because he has no future. His top end is House Leadership. Some people are just worried about always climbing...
