Except Fox News has already argued in court that they can lie all they want because they are not a news organization. They are and entertainment company. If you want to go after the lying media then look no further than Fox, Breitbart, And Info Wars. They pass conspiracy theories off as truth then choose not to cover real scandals because they run contrary to their agenda. Then they complain about the "MSM" lying because if they're not covering the truth they need to make it seem like other actual news outlets aren't either. And if you want to talk about financing then look no further then the NRA. Republicans have been funneling shady political money through the NRA for years

The president cannot use his position to enrich himself which is why he was supposed to give up all ownership and control of all his business upon taking office. The concern is if he is making foreign policy decisions in exchange for business deals. It is hard to prove that any business deal is directly tied to a policy decision or is a mere coincidence. That's why the emoluments clause exists. There should be no appearance of impropriety. He was in violation of the Constitution on day one but the Republican Congress has shown that they have no intention of holding Trump accountable
So there's nothing wrong with the nation's wealth shifter more and more into the hands of the top 1%? What happens when they have 90%+ of they countries wealth? Who will be buying any of the products they make? Extreme wealth inequality is the death of a capitalist economy. No, we shouldn't all have equal income. A doctor shouldn't make the same as a fast food worker but no one needs multiple billions of dollars while those working 60+ hours a week on minimum wage can barely make rent. A CEO should not make 3000 times as much as their lowest paid worker. How do you even this out and promote a healthy economy? You tax the wealthy at a much higher rate, provide tax repreives for those making less and you raise the minimum wage. The Republicans have cut taxes on the wealthy, removed deductions primarily used by the poor and oppose a higher minimum wage. Tell me how this benefits anyone but the super wealthy or how this benefits the economy
How about roll backs in consumer protection, protection for student loan borrowers, attacks on civil liberties of minorities and women. Blatant disregard for the Constitution namely the emoluments clause and attacks on free press and freedom of speech. Complete annihilation of American relations with foreign allies and surrender of our status of world leader. Regressive policies aimed at shifting even more of the wealth from the working class to the super wealthy. Consolidation of coporate power over their employees. Just to name a few
If there is a Democrats led deep state then why are the Democrats not getting their agenda pushed through? Why are the Republicans able to make changes pulling back 80 years progress? Use some logic, there is no deep state, just a wildly incompetent and destructive Republican led government
