A "Teapot Dome" scale scandal - every week, for years to come

[ThoughtCriminal]

When I was in school in the 70's, every history class devoted a significant amount of time to the 1920's "Teapot Dome Scandal". Up until Watergate, probably the most significant government scandal of the 20th century.

But now, it seems comparatively quaint. In terms of corruption, the Bush/Cheney administration was a tough act to top, but Trump/Pence has already given every indication that it will not only be more corrupt than any other, it is reaching to be more corrupt than all of the others combined.

1. Perhaps, but someone actually went to jail in that scandal. n/t

2. And not a god damn thing will happen to the criminals in charge.

They're all guilty of this act of treason, but not a single hour of jail time will be served, and not one of them will set foot in a courtroom. They're getting away with it.

3. Trump has no qualms with felons and perjurers.

4. A very good book.

When GWB was in office, I thought him the worst President since Warren G. Harding. Now we have Trump.

5. My "go to line" for the past two weeks has been "Another day... Another milestone in corruption"

And there has yet to be a day when it didn't apply.
