Think of America as a brothel, and multinational corporations as the johns. Mnuchinâs form of patriotism is to lower the rate America charges for servicing the johns so the johns wonât stray off to other brothels. Thatâs what he doesnât want us to be distracted from. Of course, his particular social class is not the one at the receiving end, it just gets to reap the spoils, whilst (to continue the metaphor) drugging itself with false ideologies into oblivion.
Makes you wonder how many of Trumpâs sleazy and/or criminal deals Mnuchin is personally invested in.
Youâre beautiful when youâre angry.
I for once agree with Mnuchin. Letâs impeach Trump and get past it by having a public trial. Include Pence in the line up.
He has been prepped, he was given a script and told what to say. Heâs just staying on message. Trump will critique him later on, probably tell him he did a great job.
Actually he has nothing to complain about. The focus on Mueller is helping get the tax bill passed without proper scrutiny.
There are been quite a bit of scrutiny leading to a lot of negative criticism, enough that the public is against this tax cut for the wealthy bill. But what more can be done to stop it?
The congressional republicans DO NOT CARE and will find other jobs if they donât win reelection.
Thatâs not to say that this bunch of crap wonât get a haircut later on, I hope. But a lot of damage will be done before that happens.
Wait until Mnuchin has to deal with the distraction of going to jail for money laundering.
Mnuchin, you are just another piece of Trumpian shit who belongs in the big house with him. You are nothing but another low life hedge fund tax evader who brought down our economy. Itâs not a giant distraction: itâs an attempt to learn how the Traitor in Chief operates. And you are in the middle of it. You and your dimmer than dim Cruella de Ville would look real good in the orange jumpsuits.
He is one ugly dude. Not that that matters . . .
Heâs ugly. I wonder why his wife married him . . . Ha-ha!
Yeah, rightâŚ
I mean whatâs a little treason between alleged billionaires, right? Itâs just âpoliticsâ.
Someone should tell this overblown Putz who works for Frankenputz to go and keep himself occupied fingering sheets of newly printed money.
The sort of Money Republicans ALWAYS have when it comes to whacko âTax Cutsâ for themselves, and the same money that they will scream about not having when they try (and you know they will) to gut Medicare and Social Security.
Wasnât he part of that manâs money-laundering business, on behalf of Putin?
Sideshow Bob: âConvicted of a crime I didnât commit! Attempted murder!? Do they give a prize for attempted Chemistry?!â /s
Some crimes are complete in the attempt. Tax evasion for instance, consists of attempting to evade or defeat taxes, even if you donât actually owe them.
I know. Just reminiscing on a Simpsons scene that your post made me think of
Ugliness on the inside exacerbates ugliness on the outside.
