The technical term for the problem is "wealth gap" not fake economy. It's indeed a problem, as the graphics below shows.

The dark orange color in the bottom right of the image (you have to look hard to see) IS the bottom 50% of AMERICAN wage earners' wealth.

The Constitution prohibits the President from accepting ANY present, Emolument, Office, or Title from ANY foreign government... Much less a crown.

Congress didn't allow Abraham Lincoln to keep a gift of elephants tusks given to him by a foriegn govt, much less a crown. 😵‍💫

This would also be consistent with the Constitution.

The President is prohibited from receiving ANY money from the Federal Government or the States other than the salary determined on the day he is sworn-in.

It breaks my heart just to look at that picture. 😔💔

More right-wing media buying... Now, Rupert Murdoch effectively controls MSNBC as well. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is sheer madness.

When renewable energy industry is one of the fastest growing sectors... We decided to cede that economic growth & potential to China & focus instead on fossil fuels, right when we're canceling health research grants.

Sheer madness policy making.

The most profound image I saw in a long while.

I think it's a powerful reminder to federal agents in combat uniforms that they are on AMERICAN soil. 🇺🇸♾️

In an oligarchy, only a small number of People has an opportunity to prosper, all the rest of the population are at a disadvantage.

It was never about antisemitism.
If it were, a Hitler fan wouldn't be the one prosecuting the case.

New Deal policies are no socialism, no matter who says so. Promoting the General Welfare of the People was one of 6 main reasons this Country was established, as the preamble explains.

Often overlooked, the Preamble is a mission statement that explains *why* we even have a Constitution & a Country.

I think it's funny. It is also revealing to all of us, including to FoxNews, how normalized Donald Trump's weird communications' style has become.

Apparently Newsome's Twitter account responded to Perino already. 🤭

In his Gettysburg address in 1863, Abraham Lincoln encouraged the troops to keep fighting for the United States of America & its Democracy, to survive the war waged on it by the Confederates' oligarchy.

"that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Imo, no social is necessary, just simply Democracy.

That it's about the People is already in the root of the word "demo."

It never stops to be shocking how one man decides one day to just shutdown a media outlet bc he can.

It's ignorant to believe that they would've all been Southern landowners, Viven Leighs & Clak Gables & their lives would be a "Gone With the Wind" style Southern oligarchy, if we just didn't have a Civil War.

During the Antebellum, as it is now, only a small percentage of People were ultra wealthy.

Paradigm change doesn't happen from the top down. It happens from the grassroots up. This is not a dictatorship.

In America, we The People do not parrot the "party line" nor do we adopt the government's idiology like they do in China.

It's not a matter of association, it's a matter of principle.
July 16, 2025 at 7:19 PM
Exactly. It's an extremely dangerous tool for any one person or government to have and to exercise at a whim, as such.

Also, the Constitution prohibits Bills of Attainder, which this kind of tool would be. The president can't even ask Congress to pass a law for him to give him such authority.

Idk if we can call it a 100 year flood when the same flood happened in 1987.

The Constitution says that the President is prohibited from receiving ANY payments other than his alloted government salary for the period of his presidential term.

Dropping bombs disqualifies People from being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's the antithesis of the whole reason why the Nobel Peace Prize exists.
