How uneducated and ignorant are MAGA? Many of them think Bad Bunny is not a U.S. citizen.

He adores and worships all dictators.

If 300,000,000 million people died in the U.S. the country would be barren. Trump lies and his idiot cult members believe every word. We will see more than enough death as measles, mumps, TB, and a host of other diseases make a comeback.

I can respect gates. His goal is to help humanity and not to simply become even richer.

The only way that number could be even remotely correct if if he orders his goons to fire on civilians.

What will be left of the U.S. economy will be smoking ruins if the Orange buffoon remains in power. It will take decades to repair the damage as the world will no longer trust that the U.S. operates in good faith.

I know the feeling. I switched to a machine that requires me to fill it and hit a button. Easier when I am lacking caffeine.

This should be the norm, not the exception. What are the universities who capitulate to Trump showing their students?

Probably sleeping with him as well. I doubt she wants to sleep with a blob of paste painted orange.

At least they did. The modern crop of wealthy scum simply steal more, build bigger boats and buy more property.

Someone else posted but I couldn't share it. For those who have some legal background... Have cards printed up outlining the rights private business owners have when hassled by federal scum. They do not have to host said scum on their property and can refuse them service in many cases.

The problem is that the MAGA Congress will never do what is right, only what pleases the master.

It is morally wrong for individuals to have so much wealth and not do a damn bit of good with it. Even in the days of the Robber Barrons, they gave back. They build schools, hospitals, libraries, museums, public buildings and some started major scholarship funds.

A good thread by @ebharrington.bsky.social which I agree with. Whether it's Thiel, Altman, Musk, and others, they think they're entitled to even more wealth, even if it's not really earned. They think some impending "one world govt" is the antichrist, when it's actually them.

What Thiel is saying about tax havens = what Altman is saying about copyright:

"I can't be rich unless you let me steal from you."

This is how Broligarchs differ from oligarchs of yore: the latter tried to hide their thievery; the Broligarchs trumpet their entitlement to steal as a natural right.
