>> #JohnFetterman to praise #Trump in #GOP convention video.
#Fetterman is #Manchin and #Sinema rolled into one — a #Republican in #Democratic clothing.
NOTHING that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty and #EstablishmentDemocrats.

The post was about the failure of #Obama, #Biden, and #KamalaHarris to tell Americans that the #WhiteHouse security complex ruse was just that — a ruse for the #ballroom and a sinkhole for tax dollars

Just ahead of the November midterm elections which #Democrats could win and which would make #Jeffries speaker, #HakeemJeffries met with [unelected] #JaredKushner… to discuss possible areas of #collaboration 👀

>> #Trump will run out the clock and leave Democrats to clean up the mess. Republican Rinse and Repeat.
This is the pre-established #GoodCopBadCop #bipartisanGrift machine that both #Republicans and #EstablishmentDemocrats play on a regular basis.
"When they go low, we go high" is how Democrats deal with this. Rinse and Repeat indeed.
So, #Republicans are bad cops and #Democrats are good cops in a sleazy #GoodCopBadCop #bipartisanGrift arrangement. So far so good.
Then, #EstablishmentDemocrats are bad cops and #DemocraticSocialists are good cops who you believe don't really care for the people, right?
So what are you suggesting? That voting for any #DSA candidate is a waste of our votes?
Sorry for being so dense. I watched this segment twice and still didn't understand it fully.

Last year, caving in to #Trump on spending bill despite near unanimous opposition among both House & Sen Democrats, he caused a furious backlash.
Responding to calls for his ouster with #AOC as the primary challenger, the brazen & smug "I'm the best leader" #ChuckSchumer responded “That’s a LONG time away. I am focused on bringing Trump’s numbers down… That’s my focus right now. You know, three years from now is a LONG way to speculate." #bipartisanGrift
⬆️ >> #Texas #Democratic Senate nominee #JamesTalarico sums up what ails America— the capture of BOTH parties by #billionaires and the complicity of BOTH political parties in pursuit of #bipartisanGrift at the expense of 99% of Americans.
Abdul #ElSayed warns: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
#MikeRogers will cut health care one more time if you give him a chance.
Cranky #EstablisfmentDemocrats bristle upon hearing their corporate donors fingered for rigging the economy.
#Texas #Democratic Senate nominee #JamesTalarico hits the nail on the head.
#Talarico pretty much sums up what ails America — the capture of BOTH parties by #billionaires and the complicity of BOTH political parties in pursuit of #bipartisanGrift at the expense of 99% of Americans. #CitizensUnited

⬆️ @SeanCasten
>> The #crypto bills the House passed … on an embarrassingly #bipartisan basis… #Congress that is feckless enough to allow this is … complicit in its own demise.
This is more #brazen than #complicit, because they KNOW it won't lead to their demise.
It is brazen because of #complicity and #connivance between #Republicans and #EstablishmentDemocrats in pursuit of #bipartisanGrift.
Since #CitizensUnited BOTH #political parties in the #US have been fully captured by #billionaires.

>> fuck off into the sun, #Carville. People like #AOC, #Mamdami, and #ElSayed are the future.

>> joke goes that centrists fight the Left harder than they fight Donald #Trump… It’s no longer a joke: after “rolling over and playing dead” after 2024, centrists like #ThirdWay are now coming back alive— to fight against #socialism. #DSA
That's because #EstablishmentDemocrats sense a clear and present danger to their #bipartisanGrift machine in #connivance with #Republicans
#GregLandsman said: "Most Americans ... want to know their leaders are going to work together… They don't like extremism, whether it comes from the left or the right."
No!
We have seen enough of this "work together" bullshit and the good-cop/bad-cop dynamics where #EstablishmentDemocrats connive with their #Republican counterparts in #bipartisanGrift and rob their constituents.
An extreme hard left pull is now needed to yank the country out of extreme right trajectory and put it back on track
⬆️ @Dhmspector
#Trump is profiting immensely from his war in #Iran. Here, he's trying to steer public attention away from his own #corruption and self-enrichment by laying the blame on #oil companies.
>> The #Democrats need to [say something] — but won’t because they just too stupid…
No, they are not stupid. Just greedy, and partaking in #bipartisanGrift -- which is exactly why the #WarPowers Resolution failed so many times. It is a good-cop/bad-cop symbiotic compact.

⬆️ >> What do #MitchMcConnell and the #DNC have in common? Neither is showing any signs of life.
DNC is even hiding a chapter from the 2024 elections autopsy report.
How did establishment Democrats become "generationally wealthy?" #BipartisanGrift that even #Biden couldn't resist for a 2nd time.
NOTHING that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty and #EstablishmentDemocrats.

Point 2 above means that yes, some have good intentions.
Point 3 means that does not matter.
They are all playing good-cop, bad-cop in pursuit of #bipartisanGrift.
Even those with good intentions are either motivated by #greed or coerced by #blackmail. There's no escape hatch for disinfo.
Crux of the problem is #billionaire control.
You've not answered my questions: disinformation by whom, and why they're unable to sort through it.
⬆️ @woozle
>> Intentions don't matter when House/Senate vote counts are carefully managed. I don't want to give them an unwarranted escape hatch.
Biden in particular milked with BOTH hands by imposing a 100% tariff on #Chinese #EV to benefit BOTH #UAW and #ElonMusk, while screwing most Americans.
That's for 1 simple reason: #bipartisanGrift
#Billionaires control BOTH #Democrats & #Republicans, good intentions be damned.
⬆️ @woozle
Ran out of space above.
>> If a person of good intention makes decisions which most informed people understand to be bad ones, what are they if not misled?
This is a counterfactual.
Premise is they are well-intentioned. I am challenging that premise. I'm saying, they are driven by #greed and #bipartisanGrift.
If your premise is not true, then your conclusion is false.
Even if premise is true, your conclusion might not be. #blackmail
⬆️ @woozle
>> If a person of good intention makes decisions which most informed people understand to be bad ones, what are they if not misled? If you're arguing that they're not actually well-intentioned, then you need to say that.
I have just as much evidence of them being not misled as you have of them being misled 😀
And misled by whom? If you and I can sort through disinformation, why can't they?
They can but don't want to for #bipartisanGrift
⬆️ @woozle @ashwin @claralistensprechen3rd @SeanCasten
>> I'm not saying that if the #Democrats are in charge, everything will be great. I am saying that Democrats do tend to screw things up less than #Republicans do…
I have no doubt things will still be dismal if/when Democrats are in charge. This is a good-cop bad-cop play to keep #bipartisanGrift going.
>> some are honestly well-intentioned -- even if many of those well-intentioned ones are themselves misled by disinformation.
Not misled.
⬆️ @ashwin
>> sure both parties are bad. But I hate #Trump, and I voted #Democrat… No, they are both just fronts for Big Money. Between them, they corner most of the ideological bents…
💯 I have a whole series of examples tagged with #bipartisanGrift, complicity, & connivance with a tagline "NOTHING that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty and elected #Democrats"
RE: https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/116966692692758560
There is a lesson that #DNC and #DemocraticParty can learn from #Brexit votes 10 years apart.
It's the younger generation that you need to seek and cultivate.
So get off the #bipartisanGrift train and seniority #entitlement in the Party and look for fresh blood, all of which is anathema to the establishment #Democrats who like to connive and be complicit with #Republicans just to get the grift going.
⬆️ @cdarwin
>> Historically, the "GOP" trashes our economy and begins a new war … every time they're in office.
>> … Dems play clean up, nothing changes, and the cycle begins again.
It's a symbiotic good-cop, bad-cop relationship where everything is for show to help the #bipartisanGrift machine.
⬆️ @TCatInReality @memeorandum
>> Amazing to think that the corporate #Democrat establishment are happy to find "bipartisan compromise" with the #GOP
The reason is pretty clear, and has always been -- It'a actually #bipartisanGrift.
There is NO money in actually engaging with their leftist wing.
NOTHING that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty and #EstablishmentDemocrats.
⬆️ @ManyRoads
If two-thirds of Americans say country is headed in the wrong direction, why are our elected representatives and 2/3 of the Senate not willing to do the honorable thing and deliver #US from this disgrace?
Because they are in this for themselves, not for US. #bipartisanGrift
⬆️ @IveyJanette
>> Too bad he's not up for re-election until 2028.
That's the reason ALL these grifting #Democrats vote with #Republicans. It's a #bipartisanGrift machine.
They KNOW they're not at risk of losing, and so they are complicit and connive with #GOP.
#ChuckSchumer said that himself, of himself, when he went along with #Trump's assault on higher education. He said: “I don’t know what he did, I don’t know what the charges against him are" shrugging off primaries as "a long time away”
⬆️ @wdlindsy
>> Did he tell #Putin there would be future consequences? Did #Trump, you know, stand up to the man who’s helping kill his own people? Another commander-in-chief would have.
NO.
We have a documented history of the #Biden Administration where #JoeBiden did no such thing either.
This is a #bipartisanGrift machine designed to screw over the common person to further enrich the already rich.
⬆️ @wdlindsy
>> for all the fecklessness that #Democrats have shown on so many fronts so often in #Trump 2.0. We have to remember where the blame for this one lies. It lies on Trump and the #GOP.
And just like that the #billionaires bankrolling both Democrats and #Republicans in #bipartisanGrift helping sink America themselves continue to fly below the radar.
The #billionaireClass, including the #EpsteinClass, continue to thrive regardless of which party is in power.

⬆️ @gleick
>> Grift, self-aggrandizement, and self-dealing. Democrats must rise up and make clear that they will never approve this daylight robbery of taxpayer money.
If only #Democrats were not neck-deep into this #bipartisanGrift racket!
None of what is happening in the #UnitedStates would be happening without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty
>> When/if #Trump gets knocked out of power, the tech #billionaires behind him will still keep theirs. Because they are also bankrolling Trump's opposition. In early 2026, they have the #California #Democratic Party on retainer.
This is a #bipartisanGrift ring with no regard for the common people.
NOTHING that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty and #EstablishmentDemocrats.
>> Read this sentence slowly:
>> “Gov. Gavin #Newsom, #crypto executives and business leaders are ramping up efforts this week to stop the proposed #wealthTax...”
This is a #bipartisanGrift ring with no regard for the common people.
