Glad the massive CA fraud schemes and fire management incompetence are not distracting Kneepads from trying to draw national attention to himself.

Trump just gave $1.8 billion in reparations to his Nazi klansmen. Republicans once again do the very thing they spent years opposing.
He’s letting the gravy seals know that they are hired to steal the midterms and 2028 elections. He’s still got more work to do to put the final nail in the coffin of our democracy.

But is he wrong here? How would you characterize doling out $1.8B taxpayer dollars to your family, cronies, and supporters? Can you answer that question?
He's not wrong. That said...

In this case, "kneepads" is correct. No elected officials should be able to trade while in office. And I'll go one step further. People in the government contacting world - those in the know about the award of government contracts - should also be banned.

“California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing accusations of corruption for paying $20 million in taxpayer money to a nonprofit led by an executive who also sits on the board of his wife’s organization that promotes gender equity.

“Only $20million.” How many BILLION has the Trump family bilked? Have you ever posted anything negative about them?

So, is that twice removed?
Pretty flimsy.

Yes I have.

My post was in reply to a question about Newsom's corruption, of which there is much to choose from.

That’s a stretch, but agree it is not a great look as being reported.

You can’t seriously think that warrants characterizing Newsom as a king of corruption?
Not a king, but corrupt - as he has shown repeatedly.
