Sen. Warren is probably working on it. That said, we might have to wait for the next president to take office before the financial fleecing stops. Or the next-next president, who knows. tbh This is wacko, that despite it clearly being wrong, there's no safety valve in our government to shut it down.
Good question. Any possible regulators like that Hamilton dude Justin mentions, are sitting at the bar at the Old Ebbitt circling help wanted ads because they were all fired…all part of the scheme. Gotta hand it to DJT, the greatest con artist the world has ever seen. So, naturally, we made him President. I wanted Pee Wee Herman…totally harmless.
This is just life with a convicted felon running everything. The major agenda item has to be amending the Constitution to bar convicted felons from office and to rebalance the Presidency away from the unitary executive model and a President with prosecutorial immunity. Until we act like the middle class forces that restructured things in the Progressive Era (when reformers didn't just eject corrupt city governments, but jailed the crooks and amended the Constitution several times) we cannot reclaim our nation.
George - I've lost count since 2016 of how many times I've said, "looks like we need to replay the 20th century again" - so many of those progressive successes didn't quite stick 😠
Justin breaks it down clearly. Shouldn't take this much explanation to make the point: cheating bad. Our clever innovations of financialization, computers, and high speed communication DO complicate the story a little.
Maybe we need a new drama series to teach people exactly how this scam gets run, and how it can/will affect them. Remember how years ago, so many people imagined becoming CSIs themselves when all that type of show was new? My pitch for episodes: week 1: Janey Loses Her IRA; week 2: Tinyville Savings Bank Investments Go Bust; week 3: Grandpa's Nursing Home Money Evaporates; week 4: Top 1/10 of 1% Consolidates Hold on Government...
Thanks once again Justin for pointing this out in a way all of us can understand. Trump is not only personally enriching himself with this grift he’ll be providing those firms on Wall Street who pay him this grift insider trading information. This will enrich and benefit them and their wealthy clients at the expense of all us who have invested our hard earned money in IRAs in the market.
How are the media so deeply illiterate on these issues? Honestly, the coverage is dense and it shows they don't bother to do the hard work.
Thanks for the great explainer anyone can understand. All of this is just 🤯🤯🤯🤯!
And if our systems were functioning properly, congress and the DOJ would be all over this. As it stands, who will pull the plug?

Let's get back on it 💪

I underestimated Trump: he is a gifted criminal…or, maybe one of his advisers.

TY for the explanation. Is there anything we can do to stop it? Or do we have to rely once again on the pansy ass majority in Congress?
…supplying him with an unending stream of schemes…
