Heard some disturbing things on Hartman's program this week

[Bernardo de La Paz]

151. SAME text I posted links for you twice. And it does NOT SAY what you think it does

Here are the five paragraphs that mention "corrupt" or "corruption". Three highlight tRump corruption, one discusses a court ruling, and one highlights NeoLiberal corruption. Neoliberals are not allowed to be discussed or attacked or supported?

None of the five mentions call the Party corrupt.

1: Courts

The big break between Americans and their government began in the late 1970s when the US Supreme Court, in the Buckley and Bellotti decisions in 1976 and 1978, ruled that when billionaires and corporations (even foreign corporations) bought US politicians it was no longer corruption or bribery, but instead was First Amendment-protected "free speech."

2: tRump

While Trump's racist and paramilitary base gets most of the attention, he represented a genuine populist moment in American history, one in some ways like Andrew Jackson's (and just as ignorant, brutal, and corrupt). His puppet-master, Steve Bannon, was and is a Goebbels-level populist PR and political arts practitioner, both intellectually and morally.

3: Neoliberal system

The neoliberal system Reagan and Clinton pioneered is collapsing under its own weight of corruption and bloated, obscene wealth; like flowers coming out of a cow patty, two new populist movements have been birthed.

4: tRump cabinet

It should have been shockingly obvious to Democrats that something new had taken hold when the American people were willing to overlook Trump's 20+ rape and sexual assault charges, his bankruptcies and fraud convictions, his ties to Putin and attempt to bribe the president of Ukraine, his incompetent handling of the Covid pandemic, his payoffs to porn stars, the wild corruption in his cabinet as member after member was busted for self-dealing (5 criminal referrals), and his Big Lie about the 2020 election and fascist assault on the

5: tRump is corrupt

The simple reality is that Americans are so desperate to once again have politicians—even corrupt ones like Trump—who they believe care about them and act on their behalf that they'll overlook almost any character flaw and even major felonies.

You'll have to try again.
