"failed to disclose" stop using phrases from the before-time. American voters have decided - this concept doesn't matter. What's next, an exposé on this administration's conflicts of interest? Lol The people have to care about these things for them to matter, and not enough of them do.

The real estate shell game reaches new heights when aspiring FBI directors play Monopoly with LLCs instead of toy hotels. Patel’s labyrinth of Nevada-registered entities—Skeleton Coast, Dons of Marbury, Monarchs of Marbury—reads like a corporate nesting doll designed to bury partnerships deeper than a Cold War mole. A $550k plot magically balloons to $1.8M while disclosure forms get creative with omissions.

Transparency dies in the fine print. Required to list all affiliations since college? Oops, forgot three LLCs. Financial disclosures filed after the confirmation hearing? How convenient for avoiding pesky questions about Russian-connected payments.

Accountability is a foreign concept. When your hockey buddy’s development firm cozies up with offshore banking specialists and Kremlin-funded propagandists, it’s just another Tuesday in the swamp. The committee rubber-stamps this anyway, proving the entire confirmation process is a Kabuki theater where rulebooks gather dust.

Democracy isn’t broken—it’s been outsourced to corporate registries and dark money flows.
