“That contract alone would make the Acquisition Logistics Company one of Richmond’s largest businesses, but it’s not a household name. It doesn’t even have an office: its listed headquarters is a residential house located in Henrico’s Tuckahoe neighborhood.”
 

 

There was a similar set-up for the alleged company that did the accounting for all the $billions in cash we sent to Iraq during and after our invasion.

I was listening to NPR yesterday morning in the car. The host was interviewing a woman from the Ukraine Anti-corruption organization. She was interesting and earnest.

I believe progress has been made on legislating or executive ordering anti-corruption matters. She was asked what is there to prevent a futur adminstration from just cancelling or ignoring the law.

"We will take to the streets to protect our institutions! That's how we got here. The people will prevent changes through mass protest."

Made me sad for us. We just don't give a shit or enough of a shit to do anything more than hoping somebody stops this. What a pathetic finish for a country created by people willing to risk everything for it. 

We're so very tame.

ETA:

Heres the headline in the NYT that clarifies the event I allude to:

Man, Trump sure has some bad luck with his appointments and other hires.  He nominated Powell for the Fed Chair in 2018, and as it turns out, Powell is too late, too angry, too stupid, and too political for the job.  Dang it!

And the most incompetent or corrupt building renovations in all of the history of construction!  Humans have been building things for thousands of years.

The Sydney Opera House had a reported 1,400% cost overrun.  So it has to be worse than that.

We truly live in extraordinary times.

Trump is going to be extorting college players for bribes to let them keep their NIL money.

Triple H? What are his qualifications?

Think about the aggy tears when we smartly buy him off to their detriment.

Nah, He just doesn't like when teenagers are paid to change "employers".

In time, the federal government's official stance will be that Trump was never impeached; it's just fake news.

 

 

 

They will soon rewrite history to talk about the South's victory. Just like Napoleon rewrote the narrative of Snowball's victory at the Battle of cowshed in Animal Farm

Come on guys. He’s paying for the ballroom with his own money. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

bullshit

Well he HAS grifted and probably in some cases flat out stolen a LOT of money of late.

I’m not that worried about the $’s attached to the ballroom, with Trump’s tiny hands on this the contractors will never be paid; it’s basically free.

He's doing the only thing inconsequential lovers can do: attempt to buy immortality. Nothing will ever be truly named after him as a way to honor & remember his contributions. But he figures he can pay to have his name added to the White House.

Certainly not like a monarch. Maybe we should hit up the British and remind them about what they did in the War of 1812.

Ok. This. This is full on trying to rewrite history.  To be fair, winners write the history books and we are letting this motherfucker win. Shit like this seems dumb and small to most people (who even hear about it), but this is the beginning. This ends with people dying.

It's funny, and wholly unsurprising, that he has absolutely no idea what a fucking joke he's going to be remembered as, even by the future generations of his people (the uneducated, bigots, phony evangelicals etc). This motherfucker is going to die before facing any accountability for his countless brazenly criminal and evil deeds, but history isn't going to be fooled or dodged. He'll be the biggest joke of all time.

Lulz. He's too political by doing his one fucking job instead of what the goddamn imperial President of the United States, who singlehandedly controls all 3 branches of government, and who gave him the job in the first place, wants.

I've daydreamed several times about Tarantino giving maga the Basterds/Django style treatment. What I'm imagining he'd produce would be both hilarious and cathartic. 

To digress further, one of the best movie ideas I've ever heard was for Gremlins 3: set in DC, Billy gets hired as the portrait painter for Clamp, who's now president. Add mogwai and gremlins and voila, you have the ingredients for an excellent satire of maga and their destructive, impish insanity. It's probably one of the only ways you can satirize those clowns at this point, actually.

He's not paying for anything.  We're paying for it.
