This is graft. Charges for this corruption should be filed at the state level if possible. Once Trump is out of office, Federal charges should be filed.

It’s hard for me to understand the massive amount of public sector #CORRUPTION that Americans think is acceptable.
Why do so many people consider #bribery, #fraud, #selfdealing, #graft, and other #corrupt actions by the regime and its supporters to be okay? Is it just widespread #cynicism or something else?
Why are people not outraged anymore about the #dishonesty of public servants?

Michael Lewis: Government Workers Are Not the Corrupt Ones

"Elon Musk claims he’s rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse with all his mass firings. But #DOGE should be looking higher up the food chain to target the #graft: for example, the #SouthAfrican immigrant whose #car company would not have gotten off the ground without the taxpayer money he still collects."
If Obama did this he'd have been impeached within 20 seconds.
but your Congresspeople are completely silent about impeaching this openly corrupt criminal idiot.
Call your reps. Demand IMPEACHMENT NOW.

Honestly why does the newspapers even print this if they then say it is acceptable and our politicians are allowed to rip off our taxes. Relate it to something…I don’t know public servants aren’t allowed to do this but politicians are so who is the biggest waste of tax payers money and why don’t they do something about it instead of trying to use public servants, who at least do a job, as an excuse for their waste.

#elections #graft #bribery #Musk There are good and bad ways to finance Presidential elections. Very bad ways include bribing your way to power, per Musk & friends. Of the good ways we could try, I think that Mario Cuomo, many many years ago, had a bright idea. Every citizen’s tax return would automatically be charged a fee of $2.00, toward financing the election. The candidates of the 2 major parties would divide that money, to be the ONLY money they had to use for their campaign. Why not?

Democratic leaders must amplify & explain to Americans the depth of Trump & his regime's lawlessness, disdain for the rule of law, graft, & corruption, & the national security threat they pose. Republican lawmakers are complicit.
#Serbia’s prime minister resigns as #AntiCorruption #protests sparked by deadly collapse swell
By JOVANA GEC
Updated 3:12 PM EST, January 28, 2025
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — "Serbia’s populist prime minister, #MilosVucevic, resigned Tuesday in an attempt to calm political tensions stoked by weeks of massive anti-corruption protests that started after the deadly collapse of a concrete overhang at a recently renovated train station.
"The November collapse at the central station in Novi Sad, one of Serbia’s largest cities, killed 15 people and happened months after it reopened, fueling accusations that the construction was unsafe. The tragedy has become a flashpoint for broader dissatisfaction with Serbia’s #AuthoritarianRule and has led to growing public demands for transparency in the #Graft-plagued country that has carried out a quick series of large infrastructure projects, mostly with Chinese companies.
"'It is my appeal for everyone to calm down the passions and return to dialogue,' Vucevic said at a news conference announcing his resignation, which was followed hours later by Novi Sad’s mayor stepping down.
"The #protests, including one Tuesday evening in Novi Sad that drew thousands of people, have spread to streets and university campuses throughout the country of roughly 6.6 million people, as citizens from all walks of life, including actors, farmers, lawyers and judges, have thrown their support behind the student movement that has rattled the country’s most powerful figure, President #AleksandarVucic."

If you voted for felon Trump because he told you he was for the working people, the question is which people? Definitely the rich and those who can help him establish an oligarchy and kleptocracy.
