The right has a tendency to call democrats the thing that is what their braggadocios leader is, easily the most corrupt in history. Trump was fond of putting himself in terms of being the best, perhaps ever in history at many things, but is is assured that he is or was the most corrupt ever in history. That can be judged by the things he did in front of out faces, often in publicly viewed video.

Corruption, what is that and how would we quantify it?
1. There would be levels of grifting public funds for personal gain, he wins that one
2. Grifting foreign entities for things like Mar A Lago memberships and resort bookings, nobody else is close
3. How about putting the personal grift on campaign funds and their party, none has ever gone where trump has
4. There would be obstruction of investigations by refusing to release government documents, check that one
5. Obstruction by telling key figures not to testify on investigations of malfeasance, he wins that one
6. Family grifts, such as loans and payments for consulting, nobody has ever come close
7. How about the campaign fund grift on supporters under false premises, he is the king there
8. No president has ever decided government documents were his, especially super classified ones, he owns this
9. No president has ever tried to falsely apply executive privilege to as many non privileged things to hide them
10. Convincing tens of millions of gullible and ignorant supporters he won the e******n applies in a category of one

The easiest way to respond with specifics is to use the number, I'd like to hear who has ever beat trump in terms of real and specific corrupt acts.

Starting with #1 & #2...
Trump has an advantage here that no other president has ever had, he owns a substantial amount of property and businesses that no other president in history has. That said, we have had wealthy presidents before, and the normal code of conduct had them either sell their holdings such as stock or businesses so there could be no conflict of interest...the other remedy was to appoint a managing entity as a blind trust to manage businesses and assets with an eye toward there being no personal input or involvement.

Trump made really false and deceiving efforts to supposedly turn over everything to his kids to manage, but that in reality was an obviously poor attempt at optics, he always had control.

Given the properties he had and the resort nature of them, he should have made sure that government funded projects never happened, that the secret service never was put in a position to have to rent rooms at hotels or resorts because that was where trump chose to do government related business. Foreign delegations should have never been coerced into having to stay at trump owned properties, in fact the only way to prevent the appearance of them spending money at trump properties would be to either prevent them from needing to stay there, or provide an excellent rate so that the reality wasn't that they were charged exorbitant rates when they sort of had to stay at Mar A Lago because trump was treating it as some sort of official government extension...he even called it the summer white house, which it is not. Then there would be the fact that during peak official events, the rates were escalated to higher than normal...another thing that was not ethical. Delegations also found it necessary to buy memberships for everyone in the delegation, which at $200k a person could add up to millions.

Then there are the number of rooms the secret service would need, it's one thing to charge for rooms on necessary accommodations, it's another to be out at double a going rate for ten or more rooms. Trump refused to let the secret service use their own golf carts, and charged them enough that they could have paid for one in a single golfing weekend, charging them thousands for the rental of them. The secret service grift went on and on.

Trump tried to get the G20 at one of his resorts...definitely corruption at it's finest form. This was a neglected resort desperately in need of renovations, and trump had already started the process of requisitioning several hundred million dollars for renovations he needed to do anyway. In the normal process of choosing the location, his resort never would have made the top ten choices, others being far nicer and needing no renovations at government expense.

There is no contender for this misuse of personal properties because we have never had a president like this

The Original Version

The ant busts his ass in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

The New Liberal Version

It starts out the same but when winter comes the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, and ABC show up and show pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to film of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can it be, in a country of such wealth that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Then a representative of the NAAGB (The National Association of Green Bugs) shows up on Night Line and charges the ant with “Green Bias” and makes the case that the grasshopper is the victim of 30 million years of greenism. Kermit the frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when he sings “It’s Not Easy Being Green.”

Joe Biden and Kowmella Harris make a special guest appearance on the CNN evening news and tell a concerned Don Lemon That they will do everything they can for the grasshopper who has been denied the prosperity he deserves by those who benefited unfairly during the summer, or as Joe refers to it, the “Temperatures Of The 80’s”.

Finally the EEOC drafts the “Economic Equity and Anti-Greenism Act” RECTRO-ACTIVE to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and having nothing left to pay his Retro-Active taxes, his home is confiscated by the government.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he’s in….which just happens to be the ant’s old house…. crumbles around him since he doesn’t know how to maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. And on the TV; which the grasshopper bought by selling most of the ant’s food, Sleepy Joe is standing before a wildly applauding group of Democrats announcing that a new era of “Fairness” has dawned in America.

Doesn't matter now woodglue. Here's what your side has already started implementing for 2022-24.

Start with one d******e p**********l speech accusing 74 million v**ers of being enemies of the state. Add two Marine guards against a blood-red background for flavor. Whip up both bases. Stir in a large pool of us vs. them mentality and bring to a boil. Sprinkle in a large contingent of FBI operatives to mix with low-intellect radical right-wing and left-wing fanactics. Bake for a few weeks and allow resentment to rise. The FBI will supply the necessary heat and pr********n to foment I**********n 2.0. Frost the cake and have the state-controlled news and social media reacting in horror and disgust at the alleged evil and violent actions of MAGA Republicans.

This is the recipe for a Democrat October Surprise.

The corrupt media are already working overtime to set the stage by playing up the "civil war" potential and predicting violence from "w***e s*********ts and far-right extremists."

The president and Dems in Congress will have no choice but to react decisively to save democracy and protect the American people from this horrible MAGA threat. The critical decision will need to be made: will they have time for more televised show trials before the e******n, or should they just move on to declaring martial law and postponing the e******n indefinitely?

A year ago, I would have thought this scenario impossibly absurd. I also never thought an ex–U.S. president's home could be raided by the FBI, or a current president could make such a h**eful, incendiary, and shall I say "semi-f*****t" speech.

Perhaps they will not need to make that decision at all if the media do their "job" and manufacture enough h**e and resentment toward Republicans. Highly edited video clips and overheated commentator vitriol can be very effective in influencing “the useful i***ts” who want nothing more that want defend Trump or “get him,” all while almost all MAGA Republicans just want to live their lives without all the drama and politics.

A provoked violent reaction by FBI-organized radical left-wing and right-wing dupes could sway the e******n and allow the Dems to continue to control Congress for at least another two years. All they need is a few coordinated attacks at a******n facilities or Dem campaign headquarters. A large group of r****rs calling for civil war would be perfect.

Provocation of violence was the obvious intention behind Biden's insane speech last Thursday night.

Do not fall into their trap. It's a recipe for disaster.
