Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Yup - Trump doesn't care about law and order. The pardon is about revenge and/or money that will line his pocket.

I'm not a lawyer, but these MFs should be arrested by state and local police for excessive force, aggravated assault, etc. and held accountable by states and local enforcement so that Trump can't pardon them.

Case in point...just came across this gem...with all of Bezos' contributions to Trump, his own paper isn't reporting his financial ties when relevant.

There was a time when the Washington Post was respected...feels like a lifetime ago.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties

Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this.

1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline.

Chaos on repeat.

Trump pardons those who enrich him. Is anyone surprised? 🙄😡

Trump Has a Favorite Type of Criminal to Pardon. It’s Obvious Once You See It.

It’s the latest step in the president’s legalization of financial crimes—as long as the criminals are enriching him.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
