41. I was happy he didn't take the bait.

I didn't know Schiff's background, but my first thought was "of course he as an f-ing law degree you moron."

The second thought was, even if he didn't have a law degree, he has a far superior grasp of the essential legal concepts that apply to the execution of your job as Attorney General you corrupt MAGA shill.

Bondi, you have no ideology. Your hysterical lies are a product of your fear. Fear of being exposed as a creature of greed who has no principles and is in the game for the spoils that will be shoveled your way.

Like all the other boot lickers, you are in this for one thing -- to steal.

All this chaos, threat of troops in our streets, daily outrages, are all just a cover for a magnitude of corruption and theft that I think we have barely scratched the surface of.

As Oliver Kornetzke points out, it is all about amassing power as a means to steal more...

...Trump, a failed businessman and serial conman, didn’t stumble into power because he had a vision. He stumbled into it like a raccoon into a jewelry store: overwhelmed, opportunistic, and desperate to grab everything shiny before the lights come on. He brought with him a gang of similarly hollow, self-serving goons—parasites in flag pins—who recognized that brute force and spectacle could serve as a perfect cover for mass-scale corruption. All they needed was enough boots, enough masks, and enough Americans too scared or too exhausted to resist...

That’s what ICE is now—a terror squad designed not just to punish the “other,” but to frighten the rest into submission. They don’t need to knock on your door. They just need you to see what happens when they knock on hers. They want you disoriented, enraged, heartbroken, and above all—silent.

What we need more than anything are intrepid journalists with integrity to quit chasing the daily outrages and dive into the government contracts being handed to tech bros, and other outright acts of theft.

Things like the involvement of the so far unnamed tech companies who will be processing new Medicare pre-authorizations and denying Medicare claims under the WISeR six state pilot, with a percentage of the "savings" of denied claims being shoveled into these unnamed tech company pockets.

Here, less than two months before this "program" is set to go into effect on 1/1/25, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare are oblivious as the the identities of these unnamed "tech company" beneficiaries?!?

Bullshit.

And this sort of thing is just scratching the surface. I believe they are engaged in a level of corruption that is so far beyond what we can imagine.

Marcos level shit -- emptying treasury funds into their own pockets.
