(22,614 posts)Very much appreciate clear writing. Spot-on analysis. Thank you.
Trump declared he was open for business as President to the highest bidder. And there is no bigger bidder than the oil bidness. FWIU, all the worlds governments annual budgets amount to less than one years oil revenues.
What CREW wrote about the Supreme Court decision to let the insurrectionist stay on the presidential ballot:
After the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. Anderson, the case brought by 6 Republican and unaffiliated Colorado voters seeking to bar Trump from the ballot under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington President Noah Bookbinder released the following statement:
While the Supreme Court allowed Donald Trump back on the ballot on technical legal grounds, this was in no way a win for Trump. The Supreme Court had the opportunity in this case to exonerate Trump, and they chose not to do so. Every courtor decision-making bodythat has substantively examined the issue has determined that January 6th was an insurrection and that Donald Trump incited it. That remains true today. The Supreme Court removed an enforcement mechanism, and in letting Trump back on the ballot, they failed to meet the moment. But it is now clear that Trump led the January 6th insurrection, and it will be up to the American people to ensure accountability.
