“We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight,” Jeffries said last week. “And the Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

Let’s tax Elon. That’ll make this blowup go someplace productive!! The narcissistic explosions of last night really aren’t just fun and games, as they’re largely being treated by the press. They’re a visible reminder of the problem with access, the problem with wealth inequality, the problem with campaign finance failures, the problem with Trump’s unbound corruption.

Jamelle Bouie writes: “But somewhat more interesting than the president’s abuse of power is the indifference—or active support— of both the Republican party and the conservative movement.” And he describes all the stated principles they espouse that should mean they would oppose President Trump’s corrupt and anti constitutional actions. “You would be wrong.”
Quite: It’s hard to imagine if this had occurred under President Biden’s watch: the Republicans a d Fox News would make it the dominant narrative for months. So why aren’t the Democrats vocally and consistently condemning these losses? The silence is baffling.
Michael Fanone, former member of the Capitol police, wrote “Onn 1/6/21 Kyle young assaulted me and attempted to remove my firearm from my holster all while Trumps mob chanted “kill him with his gun”. Now he has been invited by the Dallas County Republicans in Iowa to speak to an event closed to the media.”
