This seems to be the modus operandi of Trump's republicans.

Enacting bills to benefit the rich.
Setting up cryptos & donation drives to bilk the poor.
Tanking the markets to stress the everyday population so that the rich can snap up devalued assets on the cheap.

All at the expense of the poor.

So........ there are stores built out of plywood with no storefronts everywhere you look in Portland now?

I call BS on this.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The whole world is laughing at him. If respect is truly earned, he wouldn't have needed to rename his DOD to the dept of war, and he needn't have had to use threats and slimy coercion to get other countries to bend for him.

If he's respected, they would've flocked around him in mutual cooperation.

Just because he can speak their language doesn't mean he'll be accepted into their folds. They recognise only the colour of your skin, and the faith of racists, you know, that particular flavour of christianity.

Nothing else matters much.

New Republic: Vivek Ramaswamy was the headliner at a Turning Point event at Montana State. He was asked repeatedly by a hostile crowd why he thought he could adequately participate in electoral politics when he was non-White and non-Christian. He hadn’t thought the leopard would eat his own face.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

So.... what you're saying is, Trump is using public taxpayers' funds and the national debts for his own personal benefit?

And the American lawmakers are giving him a convenient pass? What the..

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Coercion and bullying threats seldom work with people outside of the Maga-republicans sphere.

Well, there goes his Nobel Peace prize.., perhaps he can still win the Putin Piss prize?

He got that covid vaccine shot and aftercare in his first term as well. They always follow sound medical advice but will bald-face lie and hypocritically tell you to go against the sound advice they live by. You cannot trust him one bit.

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"
