Man, I don't even want to think about it!!

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

Fact.

[Edson King, SR @kinge02]

Hell yeah I agree. Trump is a disaster, and he is ruining America, not to mention, bankrupting it. He's the ABSOLUTE WORST PRESIDENT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD IN IT'S HISTORY! THE WORST IN THE WORLD FOR THAT MATTER, AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS AND BELIEVE THIS!

A Century Long Trust Broken By Trump!
Do You Agree Or Disagree?

If Mitch were a Democrat, and the Dems controlled everything like the the Republicans do now, the Republicans would be screaming bloody murder!

[Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog @DougWahl1]

Should Mitch McConnell be able to vote by proxy?

This is no joke, a few of his senate colleagues have said that they would be willing to cast Mitch'svote the way he instructs them to vote.

Your Thoughts

[Edson King, SR @kinge02]

WOW, the corruption just gets worse and worse! I just wonder, those who voted for this criminal; what did they expect? I mean, he was a criminal when they voted for him!

BREAKING: Trump commits his most pro-corruption crime yet by PERMANENTLY deleting the database that lists the "beneficial owners" of U.S. legal entities — meaning criminals can now easily hide behind shell companies.

"It's like Trump ordering the deletion of the FBI's fingerprint database," stated former Congressman Tom Malinowski.

We may as well have elected Al Capone to be President...

"I helped pass this law in 2020. It's purpose is to prevent drug traffickers, Russian & Chinese kleptocrats, and other international criminals from setting up anonymously owned companies to hide their money in the US. Trump's Treasury Dept. is doing this to help criminals," Malinowski wrote on X in response to the announcement from the Treasury Department.

In their post, Treasury touted the decision by their Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to "permanently" remove the requirement that entities report "beneficial ownership information." Worse still, FinCEN also stated that they "will delete previously reported information by U.S. persons from the beneficial ownership information database."

The White House didn't even bother to construct a plausible explanation for the world-shaking decision, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent instead offering up some platitudes about "common sense" and cutting "red tape."

But the motivation is painfully transparent. This administration is stuffed to the gills with white collar criminals. They're lining their pockets with sweetheart deals, running crypto scams, and constructing elaborate financial architectures for hiding and laundering money. This new decision makes it far more difficult for upstanding law enforcement agents to detect and prosecute these wrongdoings.

"'Beneficial ownership information'" is just a record of who actually owns a company. That's all that was being reported here, so that we didn't have LLCs in Delaware laundering millions of dollars through the US and into offshore banks on behalf of totally anonymous people," wrote Malinowski.

"Treasury deleting the beneficial ownership info it already gathered is utterly crazy. This database was not public -- it was just for law enforcement to use in investigating crimes. It's like Trump ordering the deletion of the FBI's fingerprint database," he continued.

"Why is the Trump administration doing this? I don't know. But it's certainly good news for rich Russians who want to buy his condos, or Gulf royals buying his fake crypto. The true identities of people he's done business with, if registered with Treasury, will now be deleted," he went on.

This particular point is crucial. Trump has been taking bribes out in the open (look no further than his Qatari jet) so one can only imagine what he and his family are raking in from foreign governments behind closed doors. By deleting this database, he makes it much easier for America's adversaries to funnel money to him and his cronies. This isn't just criminal, it's downright treasonous.

"Last but not least, this is totally illegal!" added Malinowski. "Congress passed a law -- with strong Republican support BTW -- saying Treasury had to collect and keep beneficial ownership info. The Trump administration cannot say 'we're just not going to do it.'"

"This will find its way to court. It will be struck down. But the deletion of data currently available to law enforcement may be irreversible," he concluded. "It's one of the most lawless and corrupt things this administration has done, and that's saying a lot."

The illegality would be relevant under any other President, but with Republican control of Congress we can safely presume no action will be taken until after the midterms when Democrats obtain subpoena power. And since we likely can't undo the database deletion, we need to investigate and prosecute everyone who was involved in it.

Please ❤️ and share to demand prosecutions!

This idiot is a stupid moronic embecile! These kinds of people always talking BS! He doesn't know jack! He doesn't have the intelligence to be a governor! Maybe he can work on a farm or go pick cotten or something like that! Clown!

[LanaQuest aka RosaSparks @LqLana]

What the entire fuck? Is he proposing to take away maternity leave?

He claims to know many many many women who go to work after childbirth. You're still in the hospital the next fuxking day you fuxking idiot.

Republicans literally hate women and children.

Men catch a cold and act like it's the end of the world. Women have a human come out of their body after carrying it for 40 weeks and dude says go back to work. You're fine.

Stop voting for these craven lunatics. #DemsUnited

This guy is a worthless piece of a human. You would have thought that he would have been elated to offer up a strong NO Vote to confirm Todd BLANCHE for US Attorney General. Talk about a weak SPINE! He has no spine!!

Yeah, it is!

[Jamison Daniel @AntiquarianMuse]

Republicans are Anti-American

[Edson King, SR @kinge02]

Politics girl is right! She's spot on!

[Dittie @DittiePE]

It started much earlier than you think.

Trump was laundering money for the Russian mob before “Art of the Deal” was even published.

His mentor taught him the game. His condo buyer was a mobster’s mobster. His personal pilot ran cocaine. And decades later, federal regulators caught his casino doing it all over again.

This is the origin story nobody talks about — and it’s all public record.

Yeah, because this thief more than likely stolen it! I wouldn't put it passed him, seeing how he keeps ripping off the American tax payer!

Most Americans are having a hard time as it is and these corrupt Republicans want to cut programs that we worked and paid into all our working lives. They want it all, when they have a lot! WE Need these programs! " MAKE THE RICH(TOP 1%) PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE"!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: A Republican finally ADMITS what they’ve been denying for months:

Rick Scott: Republicans are going to have to cut your Social Security and Medicare as well as “any program you care about.”

[Edson King, SR @kinge02]

I bet ten to one, if the Democrats tried pulling what these Republicans are pulling, they would be screaming bloody hell!! Somehow the Dems need to step up their game and find a way to stop this crap!

[Sarah Sizzle @sizzle_sarah]

This is completely unacceptable.

If the duties of the office can’t be performed in person, the seat should be filled by someone who can.

[Edson King, SR @kinge02]

I certainly didn't think he was brilliant man or even a great business man The things he did in business screamed he had no idea of what he was doing! Anyone bankrupting six businesses, can't be smart!

[Edson King, SR @kinge02]

WOW! ANYTHING HIS FAMILY HAS A STAKE IN, TRUMP MAKES SURE THAT HE CREATES A PATH FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY CAN MAKE ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY. YEAH, WITHOUT A DOUBT, IN OUR FACE CORRUPTION!

[InfoGram @_InfoGram_]

🇺🇸Trump: "I don't run my businesses. My kids do. I don't talk to them about it. They're not in government."

Fun Fact: 🇺🇸Trump is moving to lift the ban on mailing handguns to homes. That benefits GrabAGun, where his son has an investment. Potentially worth billions.

In a normal democracy, that’s textbook corruption.
