Plain Talk About The GOP Grift Scheme

 Unless you are a MAGA moron, you've heard about the Republicans' scheme to give some of themselves a $500,000 reward because they had been investigated for breaking the law. Who says that crime doesn't pay?

Amazingly, most people, and definitely no one in the mainstream media, are willing to call it out as the corruption it is.  But a professor at the University of Wisconsin - Madison is not afraid to say it out loud:

Ken Mayer, a professor of American politics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said in an email to WPR that the provision would probably lead to the federal government settling and paying Johnson and the other senators.

"It’s banana republic crony capitalist bulls—,” Mayer said.

“It ought to be a career-ending scandal for everyone involved,” Mayer continued. “But it won’t because too many have become numbed to flagrant and obvious corruption and self-dealing that is occurring on a daily basis.”

He's absolutely correct. If we had a government that wasn't so damn dysfunctional, a lot of the things that are happening wouldn't be happening.  To make matters even worse, we can't even count on half of the Democrats to do the right thing, either.
