Totally corrupt government. Criminals running government. Convict in the top position. There is no reason with a bad person in the top position to believe nothing but bad is going to happen. Republicans, conservatives, all to blame.

Who do you think made those 19 billionaires? Tax cuts for the rich, $27T packed the deficit 25 years now, by which party? The GRAND OLD party. Corruption corrupts absolutely. Corrupt govt. Corrupt (in illegally) president. Corrupt SCOTUS SIX Justices. Corrupt law ...1

enforcement. Ban this party from govt. They offer nothing but schemes, plots and misery. No solutions. No relief. No better. Vote 🔵 overwhelmingly, if you deserve better and to counter those cheaters! ...2

And you'll never guess who's also benefiting from that corruption. bsky.app/profile/wash...

Find a spine and call it what it is, WaPo: a CRIMINAL ADMINISTRATION. "Government" itself is not the problem. Criminality in government, electing a felon to such power, is the problem. Many who work for the federal government are subject to routine background checks, are squeaky clean.

Well it has been for some time, but the unmasking has been helpful. The current admin doesn’t even try to hide it. In fact, they have full press conferences announcing it and every member of the WH press corps yawns.

Well he is, mostly, their current iteration of a folly as the corruption has been there most all along, the Republican side mostly, and he is their pied piper, for the rich and gullible. Do not get me wrong as he needs to visit sing sing for the rest of his miserable life, along with others.

“Unlike Gallup, we also probed how voters [view] corruption as a concept. They view it expansively” including “privileging the interests of billionaires & big corporations, waste of taxpayer dollars, & attacks on the rule of law.” Promises without action = playing with 🔥 bsky.app/profile/danw...

We also found that voters a very hungry for solutions, including major changes to federal anticorruption laws and overhauling campaign finance rules (incl. through a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United).

Also, given the billionaire, Joseph Firmage, (co-creator of USWeb) tried using the party name to run a Ponzi scheme. We found out, and had him arrested for it. Due to that, we had to wait for the SEC, DOI, and DOJ clear us, and have recently been able to start taking donations again.

We have been funding this party out of pocket since 2021, while not only turning down billionaire's blood money, but even having one arrested for screwing with the people's party. At the moment, HQ is in Maryland. We're fully FEC sanctioned as a presidential electoral party. We are bulding 1/

the national committee with real people who have lived the lives they'll be making policy on. No, corporations, no politicians, no foreign interest groups... just people. I don't have the official member count as of this moment, as we had a death within the party family. I'll haeve it soon. /2

And it is ALL BECAUSE OF TRUMP AND REPUBLICONS! Granted corruption isn't new with this party or with Trump. They both have been doing it many decades; subtly of course, with some incidences bringing it out into the light, but once Trump joined the corrupt party, things really came out ...1

into the open and in our faces. Just a reminder, it NEVER was Democrats. It was ALWAYS REPUBLICONS. Vote🔵 and FIRE this party from Govt. Dems CAN clean it up and set it back right. The GOP NEVER had any intention of ever ... 2

doing our govt right for all of us. NEVER LET GOP back in govt or in majority. MINORITY ONLY. A FEW, so they can never ever trick us again like they have been. I cannot understand it, though, MAGA wanted everything corrupt? What happened, didn't like being taken for chumps by Trump ... 3

and the GOP? A bit too late. The GOP has been doing that for decades to ya and you still came back for more? So much for that wisdom... How gullible can some be? Apparently, very... Still time for payback. ... 4

In less than two years they have turned our government into a conveyer belt of money flowing to the Trump Crime family. Corrupt self dealing ignored by the limpest dick-wads in the Republican Party. They sit in their asses and watch what we had disintegrate.
