      The only difference is packaging.

      Donald is not doing anything that hasn’t already been policy for the long-term. He just doesn’t care about the veneer of plausible deniability as his predecessors did. I remember the response when they abducted Maduro, and hearing the words ‘unprecedented’ and ‘shocking’, and I thought… did these people just sleep through the War on Terror?

      Profiting from his office? There’s a reason high level government officials regularly get hundreds of thousands of dollars to supposedly give speeches. (When in reality, they’re selling favors.) And that money you donate to the party? They can lend their campaigns cash at 20% interest and pay themselves back with your donations legally. If you want five minutes of the presidential candidate’s time at their national convention, it’s going to cost you at least a million, probably more now. And likely every single person with a federal security clearance and access to briefings is insider trading.

      Yes, he’s a piece of shit. The others were shit wrapped in shiny foil.

        Since inception, manifest destiny and all that. One of the first genocides the USA started with was with the indigenous populations.
