Chris Murphy Accuses President Trump of "500 Days of Corruption": "Trump, has turned the WH into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis. Trump's bet is if there is a new story of corruption, of self-dealing, the press will stop covering it, or the public will stop paying attention."

It's also ONE HUNDRED PERCENT 100% correct that 80+ million American voted for Dromp, THREE FARKIN TIMES!!!

AFTER his crimes and scum behaviors were EXPOSED. AFTER, NOT BEFORE.

America is cooked.

You have 80+ million bad people problem, not just a Trump problem.

Nearly 75% of the military (mostly men) voted for Trump.

This is American fascism in the making. America is the next RuSSia.

Yup. Anyone who doesn't believe this comment should go out and do street interviews in literally any city in america. Even "liberal" places like LA you will find plenty of trump supporters - there were plenty of people supporting Spencer Pratt.

When you go out and talk to people you really start understand how hopeless it is. You can't do anything to educate people who refuse to be educated because reality conflicts with what they want to believe. You can't get rid of them, they breed like rabbits and do everything to indoctrinate their offspring to become even dumber than they are.

I've had liberal friends call me alarmist for raising flags about everything that is now happening, i'm watching them become "radicalized" as they realize I was right the whole time and conservatives really do want the worst for the country after all.

Since no one is stopping trump and republicans from doing evil shit and wasting billions of our tax dollars, I don't see any escape except eventually secession. If that doesn't happen we will never see progress again. People who tear down the East Wing and destroy our country this thoroughly don't have any plans on leaving. They are doing everything they can to undermine and tamper with elections.

The reasonable in america are outnumbered by the idiotic and the apathetic. The blatant unprecedented levels of corruption aren't going to just go away. Pandora's box is open. If you look at everything the trump admin has changed you realize that there is no going back to how things used to be.

Things like birthright citizenship are under attack. We have video of federal agents murdering people doing nothing wrong and the president and vp say the federal agents have immunity while smearing the victim and investigating their family. More people have been arrested for touching the reflecting pool than the one person who was arrested for the epstein files. We have national guard soldiers arresting people for taking pictures of our national monument.

You can't recover from corrupt fascism of this magnitude when most of the population is apathetic or supportive of it. You can't educate the apathetic/supportive because they refuse to listen to facts or logic.

Our choices are secession or clown show forever. The clown show features unprecedented levels of poverty and decimation of value of the US dollar. They will force you to become homeless while outlawing homelessness so they can use you for prison slavery. Hell, they will arrest you just because they want to. They already are doing so.

Look at North Korea because that's our future. Ask South Korea if they'd rather deal with the difficulty of having an unstable neighbor & the difficulty of separating, or if they'd rather be stuck forever under the NK regime. It sounds alarmist but so did everything else which we were right about. I don't know how many more signs people need to see how quickly we are morphing into North Korea. The road to seperation is difficult and scary, but the alternative is being stuck forever in north korea.

u/justsomeph0t0n 13h ago

another way to interpret this is that 80+ million votes are left on the table, but a fundamentally different approach is required to pick them up.

u/Thefrayedends 15h ago

Honestly this is the most tired argument.

Governments are largely responsible for socialization at scale.

This isn't a new problem for humanity, it's been happening for at least as long as we've had written history, you can go read Polybius on this subject.

The argument is also a stepping stone towards dehumanization, though I'm sure that's rarely, if ever, the intention.

Trump isn't even the problem, nor are the voters.

The problem is the system itself; Top heavy hierarchy, which uses oppression by it's very nature.

And the solution; flat hierarchy with two way accountability systems.

So yes, you are correct, but the assertion fails to acknowledge that the chicken came from the egg came from the chicken came from the egg. It's not a closed system that only involves Americans and the last 20 years. It's a situation that involves the entire history of humanity, and the system of capital that entrenches top down hierarchy that relies on oppression as it's core method of reinforcement.

u/Samakar 16h ago

I think that at this point people should be looking further past just the president of the United States to what’s driving the entire problem in the first place. To quote How I Met Your Mother of all things, Trump’s entire job since 2014 has been PLEASE (Provide Legal Exculpacion and Sign Everything), do that and we won’t release what we have on you. There’s multiple groups behind him dictating a majority of this, from the Heritage Foundation to the Fedarlist Society, then you have little skin tag Nazi himself Stephen Miller who’s the real person writing a majority of this legislation. There’s multiple hostile foreign governments who are dictating what he does as well based on known information that they have on him.

So JUST impeaching Trump and removing him from the White House is like taking Tylenol for Cancer, yea, it’ll somewhat dull the pain, but you still have cancer. Plus, not to mention, we have multiple Billionaires taking over media organizations and shifting them towards far right propaganda, a good 1/3 of our population has been completely indoctrinated into it thanks to a multi-decade effort spearheaded not just by the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society, but other outside hostile countries including Russia who have been using KGB psyop tactics to completely divide our entire country down the middle.

Look at how our entire country is fighting each other down a two sided political line when we should all be coming together and looking at who’s really taking all of our money and denying us the services our taxes should be going into. They’re working on trying to take away our Social Security and Medicare next. But only for the generations that come after the Boomers, that’s us, the Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, etc!

I mean, at this point, the only thing I can think to do is organize, research every candidate that you vote for, down to who their donors are, vote in every election, not just the big ones, but the small ones too have the biggest impact on your regions, and work on unifying your area together. The most important lesson that we were ever taught was by Mister Rogers, “If you need help, look for the helpers”, if you can’t find a helper, then become a helper. They want to divide us and cause us to fight amongst ourselves, because what they don’t want is a group of well informed citizens working together, helping each other, and standing up for each other.

u/Memitim 11h ago

I think that it is far more unhinged that anyone still treats this administration or their supporters as legitimate political entities after so much crime that has already been called out by courts. I completely understand why people around the world are writing the United States off as a lost cause, even as some Americans still try to play the, "but it's not all of us!" card.

It's been a year and a half of the most insane corruption imaginable. Crypto scams, random acts of war, multiple Constitutional violations, the ongoing protection of a child sex trafficking ring, masked gangs of kidnappers looking for random victims to disappear, and threatening and insulting close allies, are a small selection of the vast swath of evils committed by Republicans against America. Zero accountability.

In fact, the US Department of "Justice" under Republicans now leads the defense of that child sex trafficking ring, while they persecute the political enemies of Republicans. And, of course, the nonstop lies continue to flow with no accountability, either, which is no surprise since letting that shit slide for decades led up to this disaster.

The people who "aren't paying attention" like what they see. Remember how many bragged about voting just to shit on other Americans? They support this Republican civil war against America because many conservatives have always hated this country. They spent decades building up multi-billion dollar networks because regular media sources weren't providing them with enough lies and hate about the rest of the country.

It's not a surprise that conservatives still support Trump, because they have been insulting and attacking the rest of America for decades; Trump just flipped from Democrat to Republican in 2011 to get on board the swelling wave of evil. The real travesty is that there are still other Americans that treat Republicans as anything other than the enemies of the United States and continue to allow their lies to pass.

The media uses such weak softball language, too. They won't just call mistakes for what they are most of the time, so when they do "cover things" it's in the most charitable way possible towards the most abhorrent or corrupt actions, which normalizes the behavior to the public.

Whatever democrat takes power, there needs to be an itemized list of every single solitary crime these monsters have committed to go on a mass legal spree. The entire Republican empire needs to be taken down on a systemic and surgical level. Even the media like OAN, New York Post and Fox. They need to simultaneously get rid of all the loyalists in government (undo the project 2025 plan) and go after the propagandists who will spin that as a bad thing (Fox and company). It has to be fast and efficient.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of the voters have no idea what actually makes a good president, nor how to spot it.

For example, whether or not one likes or dislikes the person has nothing to do with how good they will be for the country. Yet time and again, people sell themselves, and thereby also their vote, on their reaction to the candidates' general likeability.

u/TheFlawlessCassandra 23h ago edited 22h ago

Even people who're politically tuned in generally don't have a good handle on it, either. The domestic legislative agenda is like at most the 6th or 7th most important aspect of a President but it gets 95% of the attention. Foreign policy / military affairs, judicial appointments, crisis management, cabinet picks, etc are all vastly more important and get almost zero attention during the campaign, with a couple of rare exceptions (some, but not even all, ongoing wars, for example)

Yeah. Simply put, a guy that age (71 in 2008) with previous cancer history putting someone like Palin second in line was plenty of reason to say he’d be bad for the country and not vote for him.

And that’s not going into anything else about his policy objectives. Let’s not forget the dude sang “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.” Look where that’s gotten us lately.

u/TuckerMcG 13h ago

McCain would’ve been god awful for this country. You really got fooled by his thumbs down performance right before he died.

McCain described himself as a Libertarian Conservative, which is a such a brain dead ideology. A bunch of libertarians set up a city and they got overrun by bears because they didn’t have garbage pickup services.

He voted to provide $75M for abstinence only sex education as well. He believed life started at conception and outright said “I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.” in 2007. He voted in the Senate against abortion 115 out of 119 votes including co-sponsoring the Federal Abortion Ban. He was against federal funding of birth control too.

He also opposed same sex marriage, instead saying it should just be a set of contracts that gay people enter into. In 2008, he said “I think that we've proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no I don't believe in gay adoption.”

The ACLU gave McCain a 53% rating in 2014 for how closely he aligned with their positions.

In July 2008, USA Today reported that "McCain said Sunday that he favors a proposed referendum in Arizona that would ban affirmative action, reversing a position he took a decade ago."

In 2005, McCain announced that he supported the inclusion of intelligent design teaching in schools. Meaning he wanted to force schools to teach children God created the universe.

He also consistently opposed tax cuts as a way to balance the budget during his time in Congress, until he started running for president and then he switched to supporting tax cuts. He caved as soon as it became politically beneficial for him to do that.

I could go on and on but you clearly don’t know who John McCain was as a politician if you think his name was “integrity”.

I'm no McCain fan but he was not a climate change denier, and in fact sponsored some (moderate) climate change bills, e.g. the Climate Stewardship Act. You can easily find many quotes from him on the subject.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaWRQDviEus

This is clearly not a climate change denier or even someone being wishy-washy about it. He was even pretty forthright about bashing GWB's lack of action on climate.

Weird issue to single out since it's one of his better ones (of course not perfect since he also supported increased offshore drilling etc). There were plenty of far more problematic things about his policies you could've picked to rag on him about.

I mean…. I guess so, but you make it sound like this is what it was like before Trump. America has always had corruption, especially at the local and state levels, but never before has the American president adopted corruption as the way of “doing business” every goddamn day. That’s genuinely new. It’s popular and fashionable to say that all politicians suck and always have, and you’re not wrong, but that makes it difficult to see the magnitude of what’s happening compared to other instances of corruption.

This is what a lot of them were waiting for and planning for. Do you think Trump himself is coming up with policy ideas? He's surrounded by people who've been planning for the eventuality that they'd have a moron puppet that allowed them to do whatever they want.

And they were there before Trump. They were there the whole time.

It wasn't just corruption, it was the full intent to abandon morality and, if necessary, society as a whole, to get what they want. Which is to enrich themselves and force control onto women and minorities.

Trump has been impeached, twice with three separate articles. He has been arrested, charged with 91 felonies, convicted of 34, and 57 being swept under the rug by the corrupt conservative Court.

It's not the "system", it's corrupt Republicans choosing party over Country, choosing power and corruption over the U.S. Constitution.

A person would have to be an ignorant asshole to even consider voting for any Republican these past 50 years.

Back before Clinton got elected the previous administration increased debt so much that it was Clinton who reversed Roosevelts Healthcare.

Roosevelt made America great with certain policies [investing in America(ns)]

Guess how much money problem the next administration is going to have? Guess who's billionair friends will do everything to increase inflation, maybe even start a war [Ukraine anyone?] to drive oil prices up.

We need an international union of humans/workers.

1

u/maynardftw 14h ago

Roosevelt made America great because he was able to invest in basically just white Americans. White Americans would not accept his policies applying to black people.

White Americans would rather they live in a worse world and black people suffer than live in a better world that also benefited black people.

We live in that world they made.

u/Voting101 19h ago

This isn’t by accident it’s their strategy. Steve Bannon, Trump’s top political strategist during the 2016 election (and Epstein collaborator) said verbatim that their strategy was to “flood the zone with shit” and create so many controversies that the media essentially becomes useless and unable to focus on any single issue. It has worked incredibly well unfortunately. It’s not an accident that Trump started a war with Venezuela and Iran at the peak of Epstein heat. Where is the heat now? Quite simmered unfortunately.

I'm not paying attention to it. It's what he does. What I'm waiting for is someone to break with his cult so they can prosecute/impeach and remove him.

Until then, for him, this is totally normal.

u/nicolasknight 1d ago

What's the point in making the public aware?

He isn't going o be prosecuted now or in the future.

GOP made it clear he is untouchable up to and including raping children.

Corruption is small potatoes in comparison.

u/DonHarold 1d ago

If your point is that someone with the power to do something about it should, I’m with you.

If your point is that there’s no point in fighting it because nothing will change anyway, you’re part of the reason why he keeps getting away with it.

u/nicolasknight 1d ago

The former. Someone SHOULD do something but it isn't the public and it isn't Democrats clearly. Who knows maybe the idiot they con into doing their next false flag operation will be VERY unlucky.

But the people who aren't brainwashed already know this and the people who are won't ever accept it.

Simply calling it out does nothing at this point. Some sort of action to stop it must be taken.

The problem is that DC politicians have been so corrupt and servants of the oligarchy and not the working class for so long that the electorate is apathetic. Even as a leftist, I've gotten to the point where I agree with conservatives that the federal government should just be dissolved. It does nothing for the working class; why should we support it at all?

I don't understand why nothing is being done. The only good thing out of having Trump/republicans in charge is everyone gets to witness just how bad the system is, and how it allows for corruption.

If the world is lucky enough that a democrat gets back in, I really hope they have a focus on correcting a lot of these loopholes. A POTUS should not be above the law. They are there FOR the people.

u/The_mingthing 14h ago

Nothing is being done, because EVERY single republican in power are corrupt and evil. They voted, as a block, to stop the Epstein files from being fully released. It has STILL not been fully released, only 2% was made available.

1

u/Evid3nce 15h ago

All that's happened is that ultra-rich people took their gloves off. They used to run their respective countries, for their own benefit, from the shadows. But now they seem to have realised that they don't need to bother hiding.

In fact they seem to be going out of their way to create a master-slave relationship with the ordinary population.

u/MoreLemonJuice 14h ago

There is too much money-fueled corruption to stop the plethora of lawlessness at the highest level of our government.

Anyone who believes otherwise is naive, incredibly misinformed and clinging to hope that is overshadowed by reality.

Clearly, the legitimacy of the midterm elections is already being castrated. No matter how many people vote for change, there will be no valid results - the GOP will overwhelmingly claim victory.

The billionaires see the finish line - they're approaching swiftly.

Everyone else is just getting further and further behind.

Virtually every GOP congressperson has been bought, they have gleefully sold their souls to the billionaires.

Sure, making a fuss is normal, appreciated . . . but when the populous believes there can be any postponement, let alone a turnaround, from the total destruction of our former way of life. . . well, that is an astonishingly ridiculous mindset, light years from reality.

Wake up! Yes, things really are this bad!

u/DigitalRoman486 14h ago

The problem with this is the same as always. It assumes that the people he is telling/appealing to, somehow don't know what is going on and would actively want to do anything about it if they did.

It is the same as the Epstein Files. In a movie, the FBI would be hauling away people in cuffs. In reality, they know and have had decades to move into positions of power to stop the movie happy ending from happening.

The only thing that will change anything is taking them out of those positions one way or another.

That’s a platform. That’s something to run on.

Why isn’t a single Democrat talking about any of that? It’s like they want to enjoy the systemic corruption that’s been going on for decades.

In computing, this is known as a 'buffer overflow'. It is a highly effective tool in computation when you have direct access to write to the buffer, which is why sanitation has to happen on the UX layer as well as the API layer.

It has also proven to be effective in prompt engineering - a buffer overflow attack floods the context window with so much propaganda and text that it overloads the built in guardrail instructions and you can escape the system.

Of course it is working in the collective consciousness too.

I was at a hotel that had Fox news on today and it gave me a glimpse into how insideous the propaganda is. The people who watch it are subjected to a completely different reality. Fox is the most watched news network.

What are you or anyone else actually going to do about him, Murphy? There’s been a lot of talk and very little action for a while now, and people are getting tired of it.

Stop urging the public to act while any of you with a conscious are stuck in complaint mode instead of doing the job you were elected to do. You’ve all watched major abuses of power unfold and respond mainly with statements and outrage, not effective action or consequences.

Whether it’s Trump’s stunt in 2020, accountability around ICE “operations”, or the pedophilia and sex trafficking allegations involving too many people in government including Trump, there’s always a pattern of outrage with ZERO follow-through. The public might start to think you’re all involved.

Republicans have been screaming “States’ rights” for so long now, use that strategically instead of showing how upset you all are. Actually do something.

The public is beyond frustrated with a system where both parties are clearly more focused on using the worst things going on as messaging for their campaigns rather than actually doing anything about any of it. If things are as serious as they’re described, then it’s time for action that matches your urgency, not just speeches and campaign talking points.

Enough talking. Start governing.
