Have you seen the funding figures?


Let’s not give credit where it isn’t due. Dollars are rolling in, but not for the GOP - which is being out-raised everywhere you look. Of course the fact that they raise any money at all is amazing/horrifying, but this “script" is more about not attracting the anger of Trump and his loons.
 
Bertold Brecht said it all in 1930 with the “Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny” composed by Kurt Weill with a libretto by Brecht. Mahagonny is a fictional American pleasure city which becomes a magnet for people from all over, and eventually grows into a thriving metropolis. The opera is a satirical commentary on capitalism, consumerism, and the excesses of modern society. It explores themes of greed, exploitation, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power. The music is a blend of jazz, blues, and classical.

I wasn't referring to this year's Presidential campaign but rather the right-wing industrial complex in America.

With a pretty good homage from The Doors.

Former President Donald Trump may face an IRS bill in excess of $100 million after a government audit indicates he double-dipped on tax losses tied to a Chicago skyscraper, according to a report by The New York Times
The news organizations reported Trump claimed massive financial losses twice — first on his 2008 tax return, when he said the building, then mired in debt, was “worthless,” and again after 2010, when he had shifted its ownership into a new partnership also controlled by Trump.

Kristi Noem: Trump VP hopeful outlawed in six Native American reservations
"Governor Kristi Noem's wild and irresponsible attempt to connect tribal leaders s with Mexican drug cartels is a sad reflection of her fear-based politics that do nothing to bring people together to solve problems,"

The latest bans add to existing exclusions from four other reservations this year. Ms Noem is now banned from nearly one-fifth of state territory.
