No Mystery

  “Many secrets; no mysteries.” That’s the master code of the Trump administration. When it does something strange, there’s never any mystery as to why: Somebody close to the president, or possibly the president and his family themselves, intends to score a dishonest dollar. Exactly who and how may be secret. Exactly why is no mystery.” (The Atlantic)

There is a plethora of reasons why the Trump Reich is dangerous, disingenuous, disgusting, delusional, and dumb. Most people with any morals, values, or sense of self-respect probably can list and list and list enough examples to use the entire Amazon Rainforest’s trees.

But recently, my list has been placing the “RIGHT IN YOUR FACE” corruption and contempt for laws as a priority among crimes committed. There is no longer any reason to hide anything from public view, because there is no longer any guardrail of “checks and balances” in place to stop the Trump Crime Family and his Mobsters of Donors and billionaires from breaking the law.

It seems that when you agreed to work for Trump, you agreed to kiss his ring, his ass, and to become just one more robber baron, reaping the rewards of snake oil, con, conspiracy, and taxpayers' money. 

There is no Congress to stop you, there is no DOJ to stop you, and most of the time there is no majority within the Supreme Court to stop you. The MAGA have no idea that the wealthy for whom they have sworn allegiance continue to walk around with “kick me I am with stupid” T-shirts, and for the most part, one more new corrupt action by Trump, the Trump Family, and the members of the Trump Reich no longer attracts media attention because there are too many, and they are overwhelming.
