Finally, a journalism organization covers Trump family corruption (almost) the right way.

This excellent reporting shows that -- as of now -- the most corrupt president in history and his family are $3.4 billion more wealth since he took office, and escalating fast.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social LOve this excerpt:
"According to annual reports that the Trumps sent their lenders from 2011 to 2017, during those years Trump brought in $259 million from television and licensing contracts, but, thanks to his habit of overspending on properties, he still reported a negative cash flow of $46.8 million. Dwindling viewership numbers had killed “The Apprentice” in 2010, and by 2015 its doubly gimmicky offspring, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” was ailing, too."
What a loser.

Of course the only thing Trump is interested in is Trump. The Presidency as a business opportunity and a way to stay out of jail…

@dangillmor@mastodon.social Trump knows, Epstein is very much alive, some of the victims are not.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) release the 11 hour prison surveillance in two modified versions :

The timestamp at the beginning is 7:40:00pm and the last timestamp is 6:40:00am, but the video is 10:52:23 in length, meaning there's almost 7.5 minutes missing, not just this one minute :

@dangillmor@mastodon.social According to that article in The New Yorker By David D. Kirkpatrick: "Running total: $3.4 billion" And it's only 2025. The amount of stolen $ will just continue growing as long he's allowed to illegally accumlate it. <-- The Convicted Criminal keeps on illegally stealing money. Cons gotta con or something :-)

One of #Trump 's cons is often overlooked and hurts all Americans. It is letting States take care of their own. For emergencies, health care, education, infrastructure.

He saw from Putin that you keep federal income for yourself. Don't give it to the States for the needs of their citizens, but keep it in Washington so you can do with it as you see fit.

It doesn't matter that Congress appropriates funds. You keep the money in DC and dole it out to your friends.

A political cartoon with a grey background and white text. The title at the top says "Looting the USA - in two steps." The image is divided into three parts: Top Section: The first step is listed as: "1) Keep all money in Washington." Below this, it explains: "States will be on their own for natural disasters, education, health care, nature, safety." Middle Section: This is the main illustration. It shows a cartoon-style bank vault with a large, circular vault door in the background. Two cartoon figures, dressed in classic black and white striped burglar outfits with black masks and gloves, are in the foreground. One burglar on the left is holding a sack and standing next to a pile of gold bars and a money bag. The other burglar on the right is also holding a bag, filled with money, and is standing next to a stack of large green money bundles. There are also filing cabinets and safes on both sides of the room. The overall scene depicts a successful robbery or looting of a financial institution. Bottom Section: The second step is listed as: "2) Share the incoming taxes and bribes with your family & friends."
