"In short order, Trump has managed to corrupt the Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, and the senior leadership of the US military (among other government agencies). He did so by compromising, neutralizing, or replacing small groups of leaders in each of those organs of democracy."

"Something fundamental has shifted. The media, once the antagonist of those who rule, increasingly sounds like the parenthetical aside in a White House briefing.

"Donald Trump used to borrow money from banks. Now he’s out of the bank game altogether. His money is in the cloud of crypto so nobody can count it, nobody can see it, nobody can trace it.
That’s where all his payoffs are. No more paper trails."
~ Lucian K. Truscott
