Last time he tried to hide it. This time he is being completely open about the fact that he is for sale because he believes that he is untouchable.

He tried to hide it last time?

That was sarcasm, he didn’t hide anything. He’s openly corrupt and no one with any power cares.

no for sure. i got that. but you still hit on a terrifying truth. he was trying to hide it before. there was at least some reason for him to act like he wasn't who he is. this time there's none of that

Hide what? he’s been an openly corrupt and fascist piece of shit since the 90s or maybe earlier.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago

exactly. that was him trying to act like he wasn't the monumental piece of shit informed people know him to be. he's going to be so much more intense this time
