    I’m not just talking about Trump. Nearly the entire Republican party is compromised as well. Also, there’s Elon Musk and who knows how many other wealthy, high power individuals. Obviously, they weren’t all bought with cash, but even collecting compromising secrets on them is time consuming and expensive. You kind of have to respect the hustle, even though the end result is the complete destruction of the last vestiges of our democracy.

      I’m not sure they’re all compromised. The ones who aren’t are just cowards and go along with everything even though they know it’s wrong.

      Honestly, I don’t know which is worse, the compromised ones doing bad things to help their masters or the cowards who can’t muster enough courage to publicly call the first out and in so doing become accomplices.

        Ultimately, if they both do Russia’s bidding, though, it’s a distinction without a difference. Whether coward or asset, they’re all traitors.

      They always say Elon is the world’s richest man. Pretty sure he’s not richer than Putin.
