    It's getting worse by the day it seems.

      It will continue to get worse, much worse, until people are willing to talk about the answer outloud in public.

        Are you willing to start?

      Don’t forget about the lifelong immunity from IRS audits

        All, or just specific years?

        Anyway, a future AG can just say "agreement is over". No justice has blessed it, it's no more than a promise by this administration.

          It's for returns submitted in the past.

            It’s all future years for the entire Trump family, by my understanding.

              How is that safe from being voided later on?

                Trump crime family. Put your personal lawyers in charge as attorney general? Hello? Prison for such blatent corruption is so obvious

                Another thing related to the Trump administration/family that only really makes sense if they don't expect to lose power in the future.

                Almost like the creeping fascism is a real concern.

                  President not just pardoning their own crimes, but their future crimes too. That's quite the move.

                    And for their children, and their children's families.

                  What constrained the sum to less than $2 billion? It looks like he sued originally for $10 b. Considering he relatively controls both sides, what stops him from choosing an arbitrary amount?

                  • huhkerrf a day ago

                    The arbitrary amount is $1.776 billion. Like everything that Trump does, there's an extra level of gaudiness on top.

                    • arjie 19 hours ago

                      Okay, that's somewhat amusing. I'm just wondering why not $17.76 billion if he controls both sides.

                      • r-w 16 hours ago

                        The biggest amount that right-wing media could reasonably ignore?

                    Drain the other swamp, pump it into yours. Quack quack, suckers.

                      This frame it's his friends, as opposed to the people who fomented an insurrection and are now poised to complete a bloodless coup.

                      This arn't friends.
