Amazing mafia stuff.

Holy shit tied with Suharto? jesus...

Using the word "regime" allows it too much legitimacy. Call it what it is: a CRIME SYNDICATE. Trump is the mob boss, but there are MANY other criminals involved in the looting.

It's definitely not just him, but he's leading the way, and showing that he will pardon them if they ever get convicted. Corruption trials need to be in Blue states, where his reach doesn't extend. That's why trumP is still a 34 times convicted felon still! NY isn't going to allow him to overturn, and it's state level, so there is no appeal to the Supremes!

What about Jacobim Mugatu? But for real, it truly is extraordinary how Trump's minions in Congress and SCOTUS allow his brazen corrupt acts to proceed uninterrupted.

Oh, He still has time to pump up those numbers.

And we still have time to gut him, mount his head on a pike, and parade his flayed corpse around as a statement to future grifters and charlatans.

…so far!

If he ties with Mobutu, that's quite something - Mobutu ruled over Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), the largest country in Africa and is estimated to have stolen $5-$10 billion (1970's/80's figures, not adjusted for inflation). He owned 16 Mercedes 600 Grossers in a country that had no paved roads outside the capital, and his $100m palace had its own airport for his chartered Concorde trips to Paris for shopping... he basically defined the term kleptocracy (government by theft)

I would have expected Harding and Buchanan to score more than 25

Crazy to think that Obiang is still in power after looting his country for 47 years. Have the people of Equatorial Guinea not heard of guillotines?
epicfail48
The country with twice as many guns as people has the same problem. Something tells me a lack of guillotines isnt the root cause

People are not prone to violent revolutions and they basically only happen when their deaths are imminently soon and unavoidable if they continue doing nothing
SinStar87
probably not, reading on him, his loyal killing squads took out much of the opposition and are kept wealthy so are happy to beat and disappear others to keep folks in line and doubt popular education is the forefront of the regime.

And remember: this is only the corruption we know of. I'd wager we're only seeing the tip of the iceburg.

Nice! Thanks +1

Aaaaaaaaaaaand she uses GenAI for the picture and probably data. Sigh.
Using GenAI in progressive spaces is like using the N word to attack bigotry.
hellopittie
Yeah I can't even take it seriously cause using gen AI for a photo what else did she use it for?
B1tchtastic
I love me some charts and graphs.

Dude, if you beat Marcos, you need to go to The Hague!
CelestialSea
I'd be curious to see how Washington scored, since he illegally used federal law enforcement to kidnap his escaped slaves from, "free" states to return them to his plantations (among other things).
gayvillian
The Phillipines still pay a huge percentage of GDP to settle the loans Marcos pocketed. The US could forgive those loans, but Reagan sheltered Marcos and helped him flee when his people rightly wanted to kill him for ruining their country with his corruption.

That sounds like an interesting read. I'd like to see the data.
