Is it only Republicans, or is it just Trump that is grifting off of his time in office?
I can't respect ANYBODY who points their finger from one side of the street, but can't take accountability for their own side.
Biden, Pelosi, and nearly every other person in office grifts in any way they can. Just look at the evidence emerging from the money these grifters make using insider trading and it's been a well kept secret for YEARS.
If Liberals can't keep their own side accountable and honest, calling out only the other side makes Liberals sound disingenuous, and worse, sounding like a Cult that can do no wrong.
And this is probably the biggest difference between politics now and 50 years ago. Literally nobody is accountable any longer to anyone.
Where was the concern about authoritarianism when Obama was threatening us with his "pen and phone" and when his Justice Department and IRS were going after conservatives (not just Trump?). And who watched after grift as Hunter Biden and his family (including The Big Guy) made millions from foreign governments and their surrogate corporations. Or when the Obamas went from claiming to be modest Chicagoans who used to date in a "hoopdie" to owners of multiple million dollar mansions on a nice but still not spectacular government salary. (Please don't give me the "book royalties" line-- everyone knows he didn't write those or else he would be vying with Richard Nixon for most post-presidential tomes)
Oy! Not the same old talking points. Please understand: THERE IS NO PREVIOUS US PRESIDENT, REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, WHO HAS ENGAGED IN A REVOLUTIONARY REGIME CHANGE LIKE TRUMP. OR BEEN AS CORRUPT. OR SO CRUEL. ANDREW JACKSON IS THE CLOSEST THING. FDR EXPANDED EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY, WHICH WAS DEPLORABLE. BUT HE HAD TWO REAL EMERGENCIES AT HAND: A DEPRESSION AND A WORLD WAR. NIXON WAS A CROOK BUT NOT WITHOUT SOME HONOR AND SHAME. HE WAS A VERITABLE BOY SCOUT COMPARED TO THIS PRESIDENT. TRUMP IS INVENTING EMERGENCIES. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE STOP THIS MISDIRECTION AND WHATABOUTISM. THAT IS JUST NOT SOMETHING THAT ANYONE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN THE HEALTH OF THIS COUNTRY RATHER THAN SCORING PARTISAN POINTS SHOULD DO. FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP!
PS: I have been a commentator for 25 years and went blue in my face opposing Obamacare and Obama's excesses and before that the Iraq war. Please google and just do us the elementary courtesy of doing some homework before your "where were you" slams.
Same here. Back in the day, I wrote an article comparing Obama to Emperor Palpatine for trying to bypass Congress--once. But these things were few and far between. Now it is literally every day.

Love Andrew Jackson. He killed the second central bank. It’s on his tome rock. “I killed the banks”
Unfortunately, he is also the father of the Democratic Party
Power consolidation is the worst. It enables all the other illegal and egregious behaviors.
