@marcoarment.bsky.social @liss.bsky.social @siracusa.bsky.social Guys, in enumerating the corruption of inaugural committee donations in 2016 and 2024, you seem to have skipped over 2020 (and 2012 and 2008…). This is corruption, but it's commonplace and bipartisan. www.politico.com/news/2021/01...
Biden Inaugural Committee donors include Google, Microsoft, Boeing

Taco Bell has brought back 80's favorite Meximelt, which as a Gen X fan of consumerism I appreciate… but one thing they did not bring back: these were $0.59 apiece when I was living on them just out of college. Current price is about twice that adjusting for inflation. Cash in on that nostalgia!
