This isn't news. The grift has been the MO from the beginning. One can only hope once most of the country eventually regains a proper level of sanity that they'll use his years in office as a guide for writing new legislation designed to prevent all his crap from ever happening again.

I know this is all "in your face" grifting, but I doubt it compared to Cheney/Bush era grifting via Iraq and homeland security.

Yeah, it's highly doubtful things will ever be what they actually should, but there still can be some significant improvements made. That kind of shit is most assuredly still going on behind this "in your face" stuff as well. We'll probably never get rid of that, but the overt shit shouldn't be that hard to get legislation done for - IF we ever manage to regain our sanity in this country.
