And a few decades ago, Carter put his family peanut farm into a blind trust to avoid the mere suspicion of a conflict of interest.

Weak country Weak constitution Thoughts and prayers masquerading as checks and balances

Military coup now, seize the global assets of everyone involved in this shambles of an administration, imprison them and their families. Disappear them.

Rewrite the constitution so this can never happen again.

> Weak country Weak constitution

I have to agree with this in whole.

It's like looking at the EU now and wondering, how did they not see this glaring dependency before now? Both the petro energy source and the US military support were never as secure as it seems they were assumed to be.

Here in the US, we're still sitting on a constitution from 250 years ago. Apparently no one though an incoming presidential administration would rape and pillage the place like we've seen in the last year and a half.

European countries did largely overhaul their constitutional documents after WWII. The EU in general has much more modern legislative bodies, and electoral systems.

Here in the US, we're still stuck with founding documents that expect Pony Express to deliver the ballots 8-/

Corruption is what kills countries.

Our inability to stop this is a very bad sign about our future.

I wonder if Democrats will have the courage to pursue justice to the fullest if/when they're back in power.

Sadly I think not. They had their opportunity in 2020.

That’s it??? With all the corruption he has visibly demonstrated and his long list of boot licks I would have expected 10x that.

He's extremely corrupt, but not actually that good at making money and never has been.

The Grifter in Chief.

You also have to add the numerous kickbacks Trump's family has received through deals done by the federal government.

All this is hardly reported because the administration has successfully cowed the media.
