Correction: temporary ballroom.

Pattern in history: rich-folk cozy up to authoritarianism, every fucking time.

Mike Johnson is giddy about having a pretend king do his job for him.

Public money should be reinvested in the public.

He's trying to prevent the next elections. He said it himself in the campaign, his victory means the end of voting

Give rich-folk a military and they'll use it. Founding Fathers were frightened by the concept of moneyed interests accessing a standing army. Ironic because these same founders were bent on preserving their own wealth.

I'm relieved Christians focus on the few Bible verses that convince them their religion is peaceful. Just think what they'd be like if they read the entire thing. Yeesh, more blood for the blood god, AIR?

You can't trust anyone or anything that wants your money. All for-profit interactions require dishonesty at some level. The more power these entities have, the freer they are to outright lie to you to get your hard earned money.

We'll have to take Roberts et al on nice vacations and probably have to deposit a healthy, multimillion dollar deposit before they'll take up that case.

Money has pretend value, and we could all stop pretending.

If poor-folk want any chance against rich-folk, then national borders need to go away. 1 world, 1 earth, 1 people. Rich-folk all over the globe already operate without borders and use this advantage to maintain their chokehold on the masses. Masses of the world, unite!

"move to the center" from the left = doing the bidding of rich-folk

Mart Thirk @martthirk.bsky.social · 6d

Money has pretend value. If the masses wish to reduce the power of the wealthy, it's easy: stop pretending. Rich-folk ain't good no more. If reputation was currency, how wealthy would they be, really? How wealthy would you be?

Think these politicians are really calling the shots? The people implicated in these documents have paid our government officials to do their bidding. That's the bottom line, and that's why nothing was done when Dems ran DC 2yrs under Biden.

Let him eat ballroom.

Stop acting like politicians make their own decisions. They're mouthpieces and lackeys of the rich. Government is bought and paid for, and you, the masses, are forbidden from controlling it and any benefit it can provide.

In MAGAimaginationLAND, Trump's truth exists in the present and is backdated into the past. There, also, high prices are low prices, tariffs are tax cuts, and Orange King does not want to fuck his own daughter. You just got to have blind MAGA faith! We've always wanted a ballroom, always wanted a...

Laissez-faire politics as usual. Pay to play, and money is free speech, thanks to SCOTUS. Citizens United snuffed the voice of the people. Now, rich-folk are way too loud.
