Perceptions of a significant portion of an electorate with a median sixth-grade reading level with 2/3 unable to pass a US citizen’s test — may not align with this cartoonist’s view.
The little blue box says to leave a comment “here” – but ANY “true” comment engendered by the drawing Mr. Danzinger has posted would certainly get me banned from this group and likely get me arrested, as well – sigh.
Donnie John flies in the face of everything I was taught to abhor, growing up. I find it more than slightly amusing that he is apparently the leader of the cabal that wants the Christian “Ten Commandments” posted in the schools – does no one in their group understand nor appreciate “irony”?
Donald Trump offered oil executives the reversal of some of President Joe Biden’s climate policies upon the former president’s reelection in exchange for campaign contributions, specifically $1 Billion dollars.The chairs of the Senate Finance and Budget committees announced in a joint statement Thursday that they have sent letters to nine oil companies, including ExxonMobile and Chevron, asking for additional information related to a fundraiser event where Trump sought $1 billion in campaign contributions in return for promises of policy changes to benefit their companies.
That is the “quid pro quo” that is illegal. The way this is supposed to work is that the candidate puts out statements of what he intends to do and people donate based on liking or disliking what he says. It’s a simple rule, and whether the donation is a bribe or not is mostly in the mind of the donor. Trump, instead, announced it at a meeting of oil execs.
I don’t know how the GOP allowed this to happen. They should know campaign rules better than I do. Trump is either too stupid to understand the rules, or he has lived so long with the notion that rules don’t apply to him that he is simply unable to realize that they do. This is why we was guilty of 34 legal violations, and why he seems to be unable to stop behaving illegally, and worse yet, unable to at least stop doing it on tape.
@mdrigney61 – As soon as Trump blew off the Emoluments clause, it was clear we were in for a real messy four years. Nothing has changed there and actually got even worse. As for the sign on Biden’s lectern, no truer words were ever written.

Trump is such a loser. He hasn’t won since I he barely won in 2016. I kind of feel sorry for his supporters. Uh, no I don’t.

The Trump kids walked out of the WH with $650 million and then picked up another 2 billion from the Saudis.
