The news has been a steady, depressing drumbeat of complicity tales lately. Every day, it seems another prominent law firm, Ivy League university or mainstream media outlet bends the knee to Donald Trump, trading compliance with the fascist agenda for the hope of getting the mad king off their back. ABC News capitulated early, paying off Trump with a settlement for using the word "rape" to describe his attack of E. Jean Carroll, even though the judge in the civil trial ruled that "Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.'" Multiple big law firms have bribed Trump with agreements to offer millions in pro bono support for the administration's authoritarian agenda. The bowing and scraping from some corporate bigwigs is so pathetic that it sometimes gets comical.
