Good thing the mods have decided to shield the "Republicans" on the board from any sort of shaming or insults or provocations. Otherwise, we'd have a real crisis in our country. Odd, however, that the, "pull yourself up by your bootstraps," and the, "self reliance," crowd needs such help. Maybe they're entirely full of crap?

Mango's corruption and "best people" - the gift that keeps on giving. Typical sleaze from deplorable MAGA excrement. The Inter-American Development Bank, the hemisphere’s premier international lending institution, voted Monday to fire its president. Mauricio Claver-Carone was terminated following a unanimous recommendation by the 14-member executive board, the organization said. In a statement, the IDB said Claver-Carone, whose term was set to expire in 2025, “will cease to hold the office of President of the Bank” effective Monday. The statement did not refer to a well-publicized investigation into him. Two sources familiar with the probe said it was the results of that investigation that led to the vote. The sources were not authorized to speak about the inner workings of IDB nor the results of the investigator’s report, which has not been made public. One source said investigators found evidence to conclude Claver-Carone had a relationship with a staff member who reported directly to him, and to whom he gave raises totaling more than 45 percent of base pay in less than one year. Claver-Carone’s leadership of the organization also resulted in employees fearing retaliation from him, the source said. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/26/trump-nominee-is-voted-out-head-inter-american-development-bank/

Everything mango touches dies. A company that organized a lucrative series of post-White House paid speeches for former president Donald Trump is now struggling to pay vendors, investors and employees, angering Trump allies who supported the effort. The American Freedom Tour, which struck a multimillion-dollar deal with Trump after he left office, has lost two top executives and canceled events in a number of locations as it has failed to pay its bills, according to people familiar with the activities and documents obtained by The Washington Post. Its founder and owner, who has a history of bankruptcy filings, recently sought bankruptcy protection again. The group has promised events in a number of locales but canceled them before they began and appears to be banking on a large event at Mar-a-Lago in December to turn its financial position around. With speakers, affiliates and investors all clamoring for their money, one of the people involved who did get paid was Trump, people close to the former president say. Some Trump advisers have warned against doing future events, though Trump has expressed interest. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/29/trump-speeches-bankruptcy-vendors/

Mango grifter narcissist. Perfect "leader" for the MAGA GOP. And his cultists are dumb enough to continue to give him their $$$. A fool and his money are soon parted. Never truer than for mango cultists.

Imagine a thread on Trump's corruption only being 21 pages. I think that must be a sign of collective exhaustion. The man has earned an orange jumpsuit several times over at a bare minimum. TBH, I'm surprised that Trump, selfish as he is, isn't more concerned about being assassinated if he runs a second time. He has to be one of the most polarizing people in modern history and, certainly, the most polarizing politician in my lifetime. One would think that, as much as he loves himself, that that would give him pause. Or, maybe, he hasn't been paying attention at all to the divisiveness he's exacerbated or is ignorant to the violence he's caused and continues to cause. Chickens coming home to roost isn't a preposterous idea, IMO. Clearly, that would be awful for the country. But, Trump being president is, demonstrably, horrible for the country as well. And, with us as a nation being, seemingly, so desensitized to gun violence at this point, that possibility, unfortunately, doesn't seem all that far-fetched. After all, there are plenty of whack jobs on both sides (many, if not most, of whom cannot afford treatment).

Well, it only takes one, but I would strongly disagree that there are plenty of whack jobs on both sides, which makes it sound as though there is an equivalency. I would posit that there are extreme multiples more whack jobs on one side than the other. Side will go unnamed.
