‘The Treasury Department’s top tax policy official was forced out of his job after he warned that the White House was at risk of violating a federal law prohibiting senior officials’ involvement in IRS audits’. {WSJ 17 July}
This regime is not even trying to hide its corruption, it is wearing it as a badge of honour. Kenneth Kies, according to the Wall Street Journal, hath ‘been at the center of Republican tax-policy circles in Washington for nearly a half-century’, probably as partisan a creature as one is likely to find. Yet he retained enough sanity and common sense to warn these fascist reprobates not to violate federal law and become politically involved in IRS audits, and said reprobates responded like the petulant, belligerent individuals they are and forced him out.
How many times now have we seen people with a degree of competence and sanity try to work with Trump and the lunatics around him, and every single time they are driven away. From Tillerson to Mattis and Kelly to Fauci to Bolton to his own former VP, and literally hundreds in between, Trump eventually exhausts the patience of serious people. Always. This second reign of terror hath not seen as much turnover as the first, predominantly because Trump took care to put the real lunatics and loyalists in key positions, but even now we are seeing defections, in-fighting, and firings. For there is no pacifying such a chaotic individual.
Electing Donald Trump president in 2016 was a mistake. Wilfully returning such a proven failure and conman to power in 2024 was a collective act of political arson from which white working-class America shall never redeem itself — even those of us who have opposed this madness all along are forever tarnished — and the country as a whole shall never recover from it.
