It's interesting to see the West just mask off about democracy. It was only a democracy as long as you were only able to vote for two similar, neo-liberal adjacent candidates that are pliable enough to get them to do what the establishment wants, when they want it. I've always wondered what's the difference between the EU and Russia aside from just quality of life. Like, yes Russia is visibly less prosperous, but you still get beaten to a pulp by the same goons, your leadership is still corrupt, you can't say political things that have been determined illegal. So in that sense the EU is preferable because of wealth, but frankly I wouldn't be shocked if this is followed by some sort of crackdown on protests, codification of further illegal speech etc.

I'm kinda shocked, it seems like we're in a slow boil scenario. I know if they had done this 20 years ago, they would catch lead injections. But I think the West is just no longer responsive to the will, desires or fears of the people. It'll get more authoritarian either way, but I think it can be safely said we have a Weimar like scenario in the EU, US.
the only plausible deniability is if it was a common practice to extort gov money to pay for fake assistants who never did any work and only they got in trouble

I literally can no longer tell the difference between the mindset of a MAGA and a black living in the projects.

I read the wiki on her crimes and it's pretty cut and dry fraud (from 2 decades ago).
It's like the Minnesota somalis stealing COVID money. There was 19 people arrested
