This is just the beginning of his tweetfest today:
He's trying to weaken the word "collusion" and simultaneously accuse a satirical tv show of colluding with Democrats. Two reasons for this: to weaken the word that he is accused of doing with a foreign entity and to simultaneously accuse the democrats/SNL of doing what he and Fox News are doing.

I may be misunderstanding something here (or he may be) but this reads as if Individual 1 is calling for the workers to take over the means of production.

This is not, I believe, a view Republicans have traditionally held:

All of those things were true in 2008 as well. They are doing everything they can to make those things not matter, by stacking the rules in their favor.

They seem to want to keep doing it until they break the system completely. I wish the Dems pushed back harder.

Rep. Steve King Shares Meme About “Another Civil War,” Apparently Doesn’t Notice Which Side Iowa Is On

This guy.

A) Because apparently it is appropriate as a congressman to repost memes calling for the murder of a hundred million people or so.
B) I guess he doesn't know which side Iowans fought on.
C) Regarding his comment about not understanding how and why white supremacist/white nationalist became offensive, I guess he, again, doesn't understand history: A little thing called Nazi Germany and another little thing called the KKK.

Why hasn't he been removed from office? WTF, Iowa.

Rep. Steve King of Iowa posted a meme on Saturday to an official Facebook account that seemed to revel in the idea of people in more conservative states killing those in more liberal states in an armed conflict.

“Folks keep talking about another civil war,” the meme said. “One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.” King captioned the image with a smirking emoji. “Wonder who would win….” he wrote.
King, a notably racist member of Congress, has in the past openly voiced support for white supremacist ideas. An incomplete list of things he has said and done includes calling white people the “subgroup of people” who have contributed the most to the world; tweeting that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies;” blaming immigrants for ISIS and Ebola; displaying the Confederate flag, despite his state, Iowa, not having been a part of the Confederacy; blaming abortion for killing “millions” of white babies; and complaining that for every child of undocumented immigrants “who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”

In January, King finally appeared to have crossed a line for his own party when he voiced explicit support for white supremacy. “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?”

I am pretty sure that the 17 year old girl mentioned in this ( the one whose self-funded abortion was interfered with by Scott Lloyd ) is the same girl that Brett Kavanaugh also tried to disrupt. He tried to force her to have a "sponsor", the choice of which would take several weeks, just long enough to prevent her having her abortion in the legal timeframe. See Garza v. Hargan. Some of his testimony can be seen here, and I must add that he is as distasteful a man as he appeared to be later when arguing for his supreme court appontment. Garza v. Hargan

When you sign a law that makes it easier to investigate your lawyer (and you):

Prosecutors used a new law Trump signed to get data from Cohen's Gmail
From CNN's Marshall Cohen

Federal prosecutors used a new law signed by Trump to go after his former fixer Michael Cohen, court filings reveal.
Investigators in the Southern District of New York obtained a search warrant to access Cohen’s Gmail account in February 2018. Google turned over some documents, but the tech giant “declined to produce data that it stored on computer servers located outside of the United States,” according to an affidavit submitted to the court by an FBI agent working on Cohen’s case.
Weeks later, Trump signed the CLOUD Act into law, which gave US law enforcement more legal pathways to pursue data stories overseas. The provision was tucked into the $1.3 trillion spending bill Trump signed to avoid a federal government shutdown.
With the new law on the books, federal prosecutors went back to court in and asked for another warrant to get the materials that Google refused to turn over.
In an April 2018 affidavit, the FBI agent argued that “providers are required to disclose data even if it is stored abroad” under the new law. The judge approved the new search warrant later that day, giving investigators access to additional information from Google, including Cohen’s emails, attachments, address book and files stored on Google Drive.

If true, that's simple fraud and he can presumably expect to go to prison if convicted.
You've probably heard a variation of an old business proverb: "If you owe the bank $2,000, you have a problem. If you owe the bank $2,000,000,000, the bank has a problem."

I doubt DB is champing at the bit to have the planet get any more knowledge of how badly they screwed up, much less to prosecute him and wipe out any hope, however baseless, of being repaid.
