Kiros: At the end of the day, the reason why we are not seeing legislation like Medicare for All, universal child care, and an arms embargo on Israel passed—despite a supermajority of support from the voters of this party—is because when corporations and special interests donate to campaigns, it’s not that they’re going to get an immediate return with legislation that is favored for them. Sometimes the return they get is stalling legislation that would actually make a meaningful difference for families.
And so, at the end of the day, the only way we can trust that members of Congress are actually fighting for that kind of legislation is for them not to be taking money from the very corporations and special interests that do not want to see that kind of legislation pass.
The magnitude of Trump's personal corruption and the monetizing of the presidency by him and his family have no precedent in US history.
It takes a total peasant mentality, or some weird cultish devotion, to defend or excuse this, especially if you objected to corrupt Biden transactions (as I did). It's on a completely different scale.
Trump set up a crypto company (World Liberty Financial) 4 days before his inauguration, then had the UAE pour hundreds of millions into his pockets for 49% of it, then gave rewards to the UAE. Jared getting $2 billion from the Saudis. On and on and on.

Adam Schiff is angry that Trump "capitulated" to Iran and tons of neocons and Israel Firsters are so shocked in response: "Oh wow, I can't believe I agree with Schiff."
The Democratic Party is not anti-war, nor anti-Israel, nor "soft on Iran." Those are idiot partisan narratives fed to you by Fox News and its ilk.
The Dem Party is filled with AIPAC-funded candidates and those who revere Israel above all. The Senate Dem leader Chuck Schumer is both of those things and favors war with Iran. Schiff is the same. Of course Schiff's views align with Israel's and he wants more war with Iran every bit as much as Ben Shapiro and Mike Huckabee.
Endless wars, financing Israel, and regime-change wars in the Middle East have been a fully bipartisan passion for decades.
