When corporations can buy their way out of accountability, democracy collapses.

Law becomes meaningless.

Cruelty becomes policy.

Let's Not Forget About Musk

Elon Musk: Proof That Cash Buys Immunity

Musk spent $352 million backing Trump’s rise.

Trump Is Openly Taking Bribes

Trump got $1.2 Billion to make 47 federal investigations into fraud, monopoly abuse, wage theft, and consumer deception vanish.

He didn't Drain The Swamp, he is selling forgiveness for crimes.

Rep. Crockett is an amazing leader.

Given the crappe that MTG throws at Crockett on a regular basis, Crockett is the bigger person by far.

MTG....hey, she is who she is.

Crockett can get past the BS to make the world better for all of us.

That's called political stardom.

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

It’s time for Republicans to remember their oath and do right by the people they serve.

I'm with you. Republicans are like spineless jellyfish or TACO.

But I think tacos and jellyfish deserve better than analogies for them.

I think no matter what happens, Republicans will no longer be a viable party in the US.

I'm going to add.....Senator Whitehouse modelled yesterday what it looks like to accept money from people associated with Epstein.

Just sit there and take it. He didn't defend anyone.

THAT'S HOW THEY SHOULD DO THIS.

I'm not sure Republicans are ready for that.

Lev Parnas testified that Ron Johnson and Jeff Sessions specifically distributed misinformation about Biden and the election.

They were all part of Jan 6th.

They belong in jail. Or Russia. Maybe Russia since they are such useful idiots and assets.

You are a very optimistic person.

Capitalism is based on creating capital and using whatever is at your disposal to do so. It's why real estate and natural resources are exploited.

If we want to truly create, we need something like a resource based economy.

I’m so giddy reading about this. Yarvin is such a tool. I can’t wait to see him and those billionaire boys he influenced get their comeuppance.

I think he should go to Russia and live in a dictatorship to see what it’s like. He thinks that’s the way to go….so he can enjoy Putin’s wrath.

The right is destroying Yarvin.

I can’t stand Rufo, but I’m glad he called out Yarvin, the philosopher/historian for those who enjoy smelling their own farts.

Russia would be a great fit for him since he prefers dictatorships to democracy.

Yarvin - don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out!

I can’t stand Rufo, but I’m glad Rufo ripped into Yarvin.

Yarvin isn’t even an accurate hobbyist historian. He fabricates tales for tech lords who enjoy smelling their own farts.

Maybe he would enjoy Russia? They like people who think like him.

Check out the video and notice how CNN edited and uploaded it without the plenary comment from Miller…

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
