I cannot comprehend how half of Americans are fine with this corrupt leader? He even does this bizarre maffia like deals out in the open for his own interest, that's how confident he is no one will say anything The message is clear from his circus administration, you can do anything as long as you bribe them
Hi, Trump voter here. I'm NOT fine with this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They wouldn't be fine with it if they understood it. Instead they are not paying attention and only consuming propaganda media (Fox News) that refuses to report on Trump negatively in any way.
Not sure we can blame fox news, it has like 5MM peak daily viewership... FB, Twitter, Tiktok on the other hand...

Which congress do you want doing that review? The past several congresses have been unqualified to do any sort of constitutional reviewing in my opinion.
If we can't figure out how to get a Congress that most people believe in then I worry that is the beginning of the end for this government. Hopefully we get to try from scratch a third time if that happens but I worry that collapse will be too tempting for Russia or China to not step in. Maybe we can be lucky and get conquered by Canada first in that case? What a weird thing to think...

Americans cannot accept they have a corrupt government lead by a corrupt politician who is now corrupting the justice system. They prefer to continue propagating the myth of a "healthy democracy" and "open market".
The choice was between two corrupt options (same as its been for a long time). There is a lot of evidence coming out that the Biden administration was corrupting the justice system, FBI, and foreign relations for the benefit of the DNC and his family. Honestly, the billionaire is less corrupt-able than the DNC nexus (we all know Biden wasn't running the show, and neither would Harris).
This is satire, right?
Key line: > "Since Trump’s election, Binance has also been a key supporter of his family’s World Liberty Financial crypto venture, a business that has driven a huge leap in the president’s personal wealth." "Huge leap" meaning $5 billion, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-wlfi-world-liberty-financ... ( "New crypto token boosts Trump family's wealth by $5 billion" )
Not sure why you quote it, that's pretty huge. I'd call any double-digit percent increase on a billionaire's wealth huge.

No chance SBF ever goes out (until he's done with his sentence). Two huge factors against him: * Most people don't even know who CZ is, so this is meh-tier. People know SBF and find him repulsive, literally. Whoever puts SBF out of jail will face a massive PR backslash, he's not important enough to be worth that. * SBF stole from the rich, the only real crime in the US. Very few times you see someone who is equally h…
What are the odds Shkreli gets a pardon so he can be an officer of a publicly traded company again?

> around 36% sat at home or abstained, but in practicality they basically said they were fine with whoever won. Or, they were not fine with whoever won. We've got two abismal parties to choose from. Yes, there's an agument for voting for the lesser of two evils, but it's not a great one. I'd like to believe at least some of those 36% would vote for a decent candidate/party. But once you lose faith in the system, and…

Why would you think that? Do you think that presents from foreign dictators (like plane or investment in crypto fund) are less corrupt?
