There is an old saying my generation uses when the flip side of an issue occurs and the people who were against the first side are quiet after the flip. It is “The shoe is on the other foot now”. I remember the prime movers of Watergate were Democrats but many Republicans joined to oust President Nixon. That bi-partisanship was notable. I remember the Republican created scandals involving the Clinton’s and their finances. Another is the Billy Carter Beer endorsement. Recently it is the money the Obama’s has made selling their biographies after they left Washington. Of course, we can’t forget Hunter Biden doing the same thing the Bush boys did with their Daddy’s job. The other party usually made a scandal out of the situation real or created.
Today’s antics, graft, and corruption in the Oval Office and in much of the administration is like hip boots to the bath slippers of past Presidents. We just heard the convicted and imprisoned leader of the gangster disciples was freed from Federal Prison after his sister donated $1,500,000 to Trump’s campaign fund. It is over $600 million now and he wants it to reach one billion. This isn’t the first time he has pardoned a felon for money. One felon pardoning another!
The corruption in Trump’s business dealings is evident because they are usually announced by the White House Media People. The ear of the President can be bought by buying a million or two of his stable coin and attending the dinner for the big donators in the White House. The biggest buyers get face time.
When will the cowered Republicans finally act? The scandals already require hip boots.
When will the Republicans need chest waders to wade in the Trump swamp? The order of this presidency has encircled the world. They know he can be bought and are doing it with a plane, loans, partnerships, or land. How far is President Trump willing to go?
