@ASprinkleofSage 👍 They expected this term to be like his last one, but he was restrained last time by a few sensible people who knew where to draw the line and stop his excesses. This term he's managed to get rid of them and he's doing whatever he wants with no sensible restraint. Lord knows what else he could do. 😱

@kibcol1049 i think its worse - they got frustrated by other people still having any money/resources and wanted to go full unrestrained, thinking consequences were for other people. real hand stuck in the cookie jar but wont let go energy.
