QOTD -- Dripping With Corruption

 

“This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history...

“This lawsuit has never been anything more than a shakedown of the American people by a crook president and his crook lawyers.”  -- Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, commenting on the corrupt deal the Malignant Fascist's "Justice" Department is cooking up to line the pockets of some of the worst MAGAt seditionist, crooks, and charlatans.

QOTD -- Fakes

 

“The only way for Republicans to pass this horribly destructive bill, which is based on budget math as fake as Donald Trump’s tan, was to go nuclear and hide it behind a bunch of procedural jargon. We’re now operating in a world where the filibuster applies to Democrats but not to Republicans, and that’s simply unsustainable given the triage that’ll be required whenever the Trump era finally ends.” -- Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), in a statement about MAGAt Republicans violating Senate rules and using gimmickry to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill" for billionaires by a simple majority. We could add that the MAGAt Republicans are as dishonest as their cult leader, which is quite an accomplishment, but not one on which history will look kindly (assuming the historians get to write it).
