Pretty much a future clown circus.

You know it will be very fun to watch from Japan.

Corruption among Trump and those around him. What’s new?

Corruption even before Trump becomes president.

That's a bit harsh. Clown circuses at least perform a service by engaging in amusing antics with the aim of providing mirth, all the time knowing that nobody takes you too seriously.

Actually, come to think of it, that is a pretty good analogy.

For the Americans who didn't vote for Trump, there might be a small measure of satisfaction when the ne'er-do-wells he appoints all start squabbling over who loves him more.

For those who didn't vote at all, we can hope that at least some of them will finally understand what can happen when you don't vote.

Course for the people who did vote for him, they won't care if the country falls to pieces among recrimination and backstabbing, because they had their fun owning the libs.

Let me get this "news" story straight. All this story hinges on is "a review" by "a lawyer"? LOL What?!

This guy, Epshteyn, (whom I challenge anyone here of saying they had even know even existed prior to this "report") "isn't accused of doing anything illegal". In fact, the "report" suggests this is standard practice, even going so far as to say "securing fees for access to senior government officials is the bread and butter of Washington's lobbying establishment"! Womp-womp! LOL

The "news" report then uses as an example Scott Bessent, who actually REFUSED to pay, AND is still being nominated? LOL Wow...this "top insider" nobody's heard of (who actually played a...wait for it..quote, "mid level role" in the Administration, LOL) is rather inept, isn't he? Guess his pull didn't work all that well in Bessent's case? LOL

So...is that all you got? LOL Nothing else? LOL SERIOUSLY?!

No one calling for impeachment yet?

*The personnel drama spotlights the unusual and often-disorganized cast of characters around Trump*

Standard narrative... for a change do some real journalism and report something authentic...

there might be a small measure of satisfaction 

a very very small one at best.

Reality check: still lost the Presidency, the Senate, the House and even the popular vote.

Speculation about corruption in the Trump team by those who would have voted for Biden is a bit rich...
