We’re Not Even Trying to Hide the Corruption

How, precisely, has American political life changed over the past five years?

One of the most glaring differences is corruption in the U.S. federal government.  Oh, it has existed, at least since before any one of us was born.  But now it’s happening right in front of an international spotlight.

As discussed here, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginny are conducting themselves in a blatantly illegal manner, but they’re making no effort to hide their behavior whatsoever.

In particular, she is focusing enormous sums of money to promote far right-wing causes against what she refers to as the “fascist left.”  Here we’re talking about  all-out wars to ban abortion, affirmative action, and any form of gun control, each of which is represented by one or more legal cases that are coming before the SCOTUS.

It really can’t get any more in-your-face.
