Trump promised his war with Iran would end in "about two weeks" back in February.

Rodriguez: It was at least 20 times more expensive than the average detention center. $1.4 billion paid for by Floridians to help the contributors of my opponent. He did the whole thing to get a pat on the head from the president. He got it and left us with the mess.

It's hypocrisy to everyone else, but it's just hierarchy to them. The little private peccadilloes of the "ruling class" types are exactly the things they'd criminalize people outside their social strata for doing. Because they can. That's it. Rules for thee, not for me. Simple as.

A Democratic Party that refused to use its power to deliver for the working class ended up being a delivery system for Trump. If Democrats win power and once again do the same thing, they will be a delivery system for an even worse version of Trump - pass it on.

This is actually a good story by the New York Times' Peter Baker. But as usual, the editors ran it through their Euphemism Desk so the headline talks about Trump "moving ethical lines" instead of saying flat-out that the president is deeply corrupt and is putting your money in his pocket.
How Trump Moved Ethical Lines With His Ads, Businesses and Summits (Gift Article)
The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms.

Just talked with a lifelong Republican in the Delta Sky Club at LaGuardia who was heading home to Dallas.
He told me he’s voting for James Talarico in November.
His words about Ken Paxton: “He’s corrupt as all fuck.”
And he said he’s “ashamed” Paxton is the GOP nominee.
