Trump targeting law firms with executive orders, then repealing them when they agree to work for him for free is the most corrupt thing I've ever seen. Why isn't anybody talking about it? (r.50501.chat)

In case you missed it, trump is signing executive orders targeting law firms that represented his political opponents. Then after they agree to work for him for free, he reveals the orders. Finally two firms said no and sued, but more than six law firms already caved and agreed to do free legal work in order to get the president to stop illegally retaliating against them for the crime of representing trumps political opponents.

Why is this not a bigger story?

Genuinely because we’re news saturated. Everything is bad & corrupt. It’s impossible to follow anything.

Not only news saturation, but a corruption saturation. The people that would hold the office of the presidency accountable, Congress, have abdicated their role. This is another reason why we need more than 2 parties; if a strong man takes over the leading party, there aren’t anymore checks and balances.
