On the plus side, the current administration isn't obscuring the corruption like previous administrations, which is somewhat refreshing.

I don't think that's refreshing at all.
We're talking about unprecedented levels of corruption and nepotism.
Remember when MAGA went crazy when it was claimed that Nancy Pelosi made 130 million in stocks since 1987[0] - over the course of 30 years of investing.
Or when Hunter Biden worked with some Ukrainian company, for which he was, apparently, qualified - way more qualified then a lot of the current positions in the government.
Now let's compare it to the alleged 1.4 billion Trump made in a few months[1], and this doesn't count how much the family and friends could have made with inside trading.
How can it be refreshing when there's no comparison?
