        Trump did something kind of amazing. If the grifting, graft, and corruption are happening right out in the open - Americans are prone to disabling their critical thinking skills. It becomes part of the system. It's simply the way things are.

        Yesterday, Biden did a performative kabuki thing - Biden signs bills tackling Covid relief fraud into law. He could have signed such bills right away after his inauguration in early February last fucking year.

        The drought relief will surely be a similar scandal because there won't be any effort at all to track the money. There never is. It's like enormous plastic wrapped pallets of $100 bills that will sent to Iraq to "stabilize" the country after Dubya-Cheney started their war. A lot of it went missing. Oops.

        And just before the elections in 2024 - it'll be like clockwork when the dems are "surprised" by how much criminality was involved with drought relief monies. Who could have predicted it!

        The song remains the same.
