Priceless

There are several very good articles out there that provide some basic inventories of the Trump administration's corruption. David Leonhardt had a good one in the NY Times. But today's editorial included a much more comprehensive one. Both are disheartening; both remind you of just how much Trump and his cronies have turned a reptile-infested swamp into an even more sordid bordello, also infested by reptiles and various verminous beasts.

Here's my own admittedly incomplete illustrated list of corrupt practises that Trump & Co. have engaged in, all with a healthy, heaping helping of white entitlement, arrogance and presumed impunity. At least Price was shown the door, but he's only the tip of the stinkin', reekin' heap of horse pucky that passes for "governance" under the current regime. That's why I'm grudgingly willing to give outgoing Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) some props for calling out the potential risks to the world if we let Trump & Co. continue with her their dumpster fire o' chaos and destruction. I'll even show a little love to John "Pinky" McCain (R-AZ), although for the life of me I don't know why they needed to wait for so bloody long. I'm hoping this is the beginning of the end of Republican conspiracy of dunces. Hope you're enjoying your Indigenous People's Day.
