Heāll probably make more off his lemmings as he milks this āwitch huntā. But hopefully there is a steady shift and more of the law suits come to conclusion

ā the Trump Corporation, and the Trump Payroll Corp conducted and benefited from sweeping fraud for well over a decade.
āWhile corporations canāt serve jail time, this consequential conviction and sentencing serves as a reminder to corporations and executives that you cannot defraud tax authorities and get away with it.ā
Given the multiple millions made out of the rampant fraud for, more likely, decades, Iād say this is about as getting away with it as it gets. As the great manchild himself said āThat just makes me smartā. And not just Magats will agree with him but 99% of corporations and most of the finance world.

Looking on from afar (and ignoring his private life), Buttigieg seems like a very good operatorā¦
āVoters see Buttigieg as highly competent, active, and hardworking,ā the strategist added. āThese lines of attack donāt track what voters know to be true, and thatās why they wonāt get traction outside right or left-wing echo chambers.ā
Dan Kanninen, a Democratic operative, and veteran of multiple Democratic presidential campaigns, echoed that assessment.
āPete is a difficult target, because he is such a tonic to the outrage politics that dominate the landscape,ā Kanninen said.
I found this on another site (ie. not my own work) but food for thought.
Just finished an excellent book about the US - The Storm is Here: America on the Brink, by Luke Mogelson.
I received it as a gift and was reluctant to read it at first. Although I donāt claim to be an expert on these things, I do read the news and thought I knew what was going on over there, but this book gave me a bit of a different perspective.
It essentially charts 3 developments / movements - the anti-lockdown protests, Black Lives Matter protests and Trumpism / Jan 6 - but it doesnāt re-hash the headlines from these events.
Instead, the author reports from the frontlines and allows the participants to speak for themselves, and through their stories and viewpoints you gain insight into how parts of American society are unravelling. Itās frightening, and some of the characters are terrifying.
Itās a great piece of reportage and it seems like Mogelson is at every single rally that took place around the country.
For the most part the author, who is a foreign correspondent for the New Yorker, leaves his opinions out of it, but he does make the pertinent observation at the end that in all the conflicts around the globe that heās covered, thereās always been something genuine at stake - land, or religion, or rights. The US, he says, is the only country prepared to go to civil war on a delusion.
āIn the US by contrast, almost everybody I met that said they were willing to fight and die for their cause were mainly animated by a fear of total phantoms and fabricated antagonists.ā

Interesting but surely the BLM people are not affected by ātotal phantomsā and their antagonists are not āfabricatedā but have the power of the State behind them.

Good point. Maybe heās talking about those opposing/denigrating BLM.
Focussing on the important stuffā¦
