We need an Oh, Jesus button for this post. What was missed in this post is that the branches of government that can actually do something about this state of affairs know diddly-squat about crypto schemes. I'm coming to the conclusion that they know diddly-squat about anything that involves stuff that plugs into the wall. Even worse is that any politician that dares talk about possible electronic problems can see his or her audience's eyes glaze over within seconds. I sure hope Gen Z knows how to untangle this mess. I sure don't.

You know, even if Trump was running something as innocent as say, the family peanut business, as president it's still not allowed (just ask Jimmie Carter). He was pushing it the first time around with the Trump hotel and the shady Eric & Don jr. Business but this is the ultimate gift! (Oh wait, is he getting some kind of kick-back for all those poor guys he sends to El Salvador?) Congress could stop him but the Republican majority would rather remain complicit. We need to yell bloody murder and let Republicans know that when the fall out comes they're going to be part of the take down.

You are so right about how we are getting hypnotized into thinking it is normal to profit by being a politician. I was at my dentist, and talked to the assistant, and she said " all politicians are corrupt" This blind acceptance is what is killing democracy. I tried to give her hope. There are still idealistic people in politics. Find them , everyone, and support them. Here, in my town, a businessman poured tons of money into a corrupt candidate. The local paper covered it, and the good, non monied woman won!! Don't give up, people! And PS love your creative funny nicknames for the florescent felon, Wendy! Peace and courage to all ya' ll
