I'm shocked to learn that a country that for two years has been letting a president of the United States spend 1/3 of his time collecting bribes at his private businesses doesn't take white collar crime seriously.
Only a sick system could allow Trump to co-opt the executive branch into a mesh of personal interests and authoritarian instincts that make it nearly impossible to determine what is a criminal conspiracy and what is legalized bribery.

Parents are having their kids stolen for legally fleeing certain death and the president selling appointments to leeches who pay $200,000 fees to watch him chew doesn't even get investigated.
Trump' only public service before taking office was running a fraud school and a fraud charity.

But he's just a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon filled with the bad faith that has been dragging America’s politics to the right for decades.

A typically excellent and essential Adam Serwer piece that gives me a jumping off point to talk about Henry Ford, Tucker Carlson, and how willing denial is necessary for the mainstreaming of white genocide rhetoric.
You probably missed this story about how the Mayor of Dearborn, Michigan recently tried to block distribution of a city-financed quarterly journal featuring a piece that exposes how Henry Ford's "anti-Semitism is much more than a personal failing.”

You probably know Henry Ford was a huge-antisemite and Hitler fan. But you may not know the scope. He used his vast riches, energy and credibility to spread hatred against Jews.

As a Jew, it's a bit of relief to see that any hint of antisemitism is policed so effectively, at least when it benefits the GOP.

But why do you think that the entire GOP smearing Native Americans all weekend has resulted in zero pressure on elected Republicans to apologize?
SPOILER: It's not just money. It's more about about how the powerful get a monopoly on "identity politics" and how the media's ability to police discourse is effectively limited to keeping Democrats in line/afraid.
The people you're allowed to slur in America are the people you're allowed to let die.

One good way to make sure people know it's you holding the government hostage is to make a primetime speech containing your ransom demands.
Pay for this thing I promised you would be free or your national parks and public servants get it.

Two-thirds of Americans believe the President of the United States committed crimes before taking office.

Nearly half believe he committed crimes in office.

These numbers make a damning Mueller report unsurvivable.
At minimum, they make it untenable to protect a president from indictment.

What matters isn’t just the growing conviction that the President is a criminal.

What matters is the direction and momentum.

These numbers will get far worse.

And that will break the dam.
Americans are the masters of holding opposing thoughts and shifting their overall opinion based on merely re-weighting which of those opposing thoughts they care more about.

Take marriage equality for example...

Michael Cohen is about to testify before the House Oversight Committee. Follow along for a video thread.
LOL -- An angry @RepMarkMeadows begins by trying to do Trump's bidding by moving to postpone the hearing, because Cohen's testimony wasn't given to members early enough.
.@Jim_Jordan is out here pushing conspiracy theories about CNN before Cohen has even had a chance to say a single word

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
