Relief Deception?

All of this that's going on now with the relief package certainly seems like something Americans can use. But why do I get the feeling that this is like a magician wanting everyone to look at his right hand but not pay attention to the left. I get the feeling that some major - and eventually consequential - deception is going on here. I remember awhile back mentioning to someone that Mnuchin at the Treasury is very suspicious considering his track record. Am I fishing for a conspiracy here or is there something to any of this?

A Ghoulish Vanity

Was there collusion with Russia? Yes. Was there obstruction? Yes. Is Donald Trump a criminal con man? Yes. Were others in Trump's circle involved? Add a Yes for each one.

All that you see and hear in the news now about Mueller's findings is really about saving the reputation of the "Presidency". Many in government will agree with the public that Trump is one of the biggest dirtbags that ever came down the pike. But they simply can't have the rest of world think that the system here is so screwed up that a dirtbag can come in and take over. Too late, the rest of the world already knows about this ghoulish vanity since it has seen it before.

Save the Presidency "brand". Even if the intelligent population of America has to pay the cost.

It's time for a Constitutional Convention.

‘This guy doesn’t know anything’: the inside story of Trump’s shambolic transition team

A Trump quote: "F**k the law. I don’t give a f**k about the law. I want my f**king money." Heard by no less than Chris Christie and Steve Bannon.

A military parade without tanks. . .

. . . is like a NASCAR race with golf carts.

Somewhat . . .

It may signal the end of a political era but there's a long way to go before the end of an ideological one.
