On today’s BradCast, a whole lotta liars, cheats and scam artists! (So what else is new?) [Audio link follows below.]
First up today: The terror plot that unfolded this week that you likely didn’t hear about. (It concerned a white, domestic terrorist, allegedly hoping to blow up a building. So, who cares, right?)
Then: as we struggle (along with the rest of the media) with the difficulty of how to appropriately and effectively and accurately cover the dangerous threat to our nation and world known as Donald Trump, David Farenthold offers a new scoop at Washington Post on how the GOP Presidential nominee unlawfully used his supposed charitable foundation (comprised of other people’s money) for “self-dealing” — essentially, as a slush fund to get his businesses out of legal trouble.
Next: Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s epic take down of Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf in the U.S. Senate today, following his company’s admission, and his own claims of “accountability”, concerning millions of fraudulent customer accounts the bank created to scam investors and increase profits. We play an extended, must-listen excerpt from her grilling of Stumpf today, as she called on him to resign and for him to be criminal investigated for his part in the scam.
Finally: Just one more reason, among many, that the U.S. was found, yet again, to have “the worst ranking of any established democracy” in the new Election Integrity Project report from the University of Sydney and Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. A federal judge rules that the state of Texas has already violated a court-ordered remedy to their illegal Photo ID voting law, just weeks after striking a very specific agreement with the U.S. Dept. of Justice and private plaintiffs to assure all legally registered voters would be able to cast a regular ballot this November without challenge…

Um, okay. Perspective.
So, presuming the arguments offered in the article you cite are all true (not a safe assumption, since even the authors admit they don’t know for sure — but I’m generous that way), what you are saying here is that a Democratic Presidential nominee’s supporter hired a fundraiser, who is legally receiving a commission for that fundraising (even as the funds pass between several different, legal outside political groups created by that supporter). And that, somehow, is equivalent to the Republican NOMINEE for President ILLEGALLY and KNOWINGLY using his own false, tax-payer subsidized, tax-exempt “charity” foundation as a cash slush fund to pay off personal and professional legal obligations to make law suits and other illegalities go away??
Seriously? That’s your “keep it in perspective” argument??
Okey dokie then. If so, wingnut false equivalence and Trump stoogery accomplished. Well done!
Easily played, are you? Or a willing accomplice in the deception?

I hope they call him back for some clawback and prison after all because of this monster, A small army 5300 of three time felons have been born and turned loose into society.
