  1. Honoring #Labor

    Something Biden was all about. No matter what else, he was of & for 'the people' - workers, laborers, families.

    Trump? Labor is for the little people.... Let Sir repeat his wondrous wins!

    Sick, twisted, tangential... Be it #dementia or #BrainSpurs mixed with #TrumpVirus... What a contrast between a President serving #WeThePeople & improving our lives, versus a #grifter, #liar, #felon there to take it ALL for himself!

  2. My country is also qualified for the following

    Kleptocracy

    The corrupt people running SR also steal all resources of the country blind, leaving absolutely nothing for the population.
    Minimum wage, Social Security in comparison to a minister salary is so large in difference it is laughable

    Quotes

    Kleptocrats abuse the freedoms found in Western countries by transferring funds out of a kleptocracy and into Western jurisdictions for money laundering and asset security. Since 2011, more than $1 trillion has left developing countries annually in illicit financial outflows. A 2016 study found that $12 trillion had been siphoned out of developing economies.[15] Western professional services providers are often taken advantage of by exploiting legal and financial loopholes in the West to facilitate transnational money laundering.[16][17] The kleptocratic financial system typically comprises four steps according to one opinion.[18]

  3. RE: newsie.social/@ProPublica/1172

    How many in Congress are *not* violating ethics, oath of office, or law? And it rises to the top, where the stinking fish head rots downward into our economy and our world standing. Sad.

    Paxton's. but one fitting poster child.
    Even Sir is apologizing for him (he's not a 10 in the appearance department). Sick.

    > Trump just said the quiet part out loud: he doesn't care about your finances. "Not even a little bit."

    > Here's where your money is going instead.

  5. "Voters are struggling to buy gas and groceries, so watching Trump handsomely line his pockets with money he’d never have but for the office is even more painful to watch. Especially since his go-to move when asked about consumer prices is to whine that “affordability” is a made-up issue."

  6. "Meet the new boss.
    Same as the old boss"
    --Pete Townsend

    Kidnapping the corrupt leader of a sovereign nation and acquiring access it's oil reserves "at cost" sure seems like a crime syndicate worthy move to me.

    "The U.S. government will control 55% of the joint venture, split between equity in the venture and the ability to obtain oil from it at cost, the official said."

    So just a different corrupt government in charge of the oil.

  7. So, pretty cool that DeSantis was able to steal $10m of taxpayers’ money and totally get away with it.

    "Despite our finding that the money was misappropriated, we find insufficient evidence to charge anyone criminally," the report concluded. "Nobody will take responsibility for deciding the $10 million of taxpayer money would go to Hope Florida… or had any memory of who made it."

  8. Having personal wealth of more than 1 million pounds should be illegal, if a company has wealth of a small country in liquid assets that should be shared with everyone in the form of taxation and public good.
    Thus ends the sermon.

  9. @adwright apparently it's coming from Argentina? You KNOW Trump and his grifter family are getting a kickback from this deal.

  10. The idiocy of the Trump regime is endless. The only way to create any resiliency here in the face of upcoming global fossil fuel shortages would be to shore up a North American alliance, where the combined resources of the USA/Canada/Mexico's oil, natural gas and refinery productions, along with markedly reduction of diesel & lng exports, could keep us in relatively better (even if not good) economic outlook, versus the rest of the globe. But instead the MAGAts are doubling down on tariffs & refined fuels exports, alienating allies, & dooming the US public to massive inflation & job loss, all so a few fossil fuel corporations can reap record profits on lower volume.

  11. Vapid depravity’: Rudy Giuliani

    rawstory.com/raw-investigates/

    #Vapid #Depravity - seems like the key words for the whole #TrumpVirus / #GQP / #Kleptocracy #cult

    But Rudy #Giuliani, like Sir, is special. Perfect vapid depravity. Like so many stars of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles and Cabinet of #Corruption

    Yes, all jokers!

    The only apt metaphor with cards, for this Stable Genius who managed to bankrupt casinos and everything he touches...

    "He's playing without a full deck."
    And as has been pointed out (Late Nite), these cards are UNO. A game whose goal is to end with the FEWEST cards. "Like bragging about the highest golf score."

    Drained science & education from OUR government, drained away tax dollars for the #TrumpVirus #Kleptocracy, drained away #justice for #TrumpEpsteinFiles survivors, adequate conditions for sailors serving the country, #truth, #justice, and "liberty for all".

  14. #ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections.

  15. #ToddBlanche, the acting US #AG, confirmed in writing [1 unsigned] on Sunday night that the #DOJ would abandon “elements” of the deal it struck with #Trump to “resolve” his lawsuit against the #IRS, conceding to demands from Republican senators who had threatened to block his nomination as attorney general.

  17. Why doesn't this lead to Donald Trump's impeachment already? Has the Overton window widened so much that our sensibilities have become dull to the fact that this obvious slush fund makes every American endlessly taxable?

  18. Acting AG #ToddBlanche said in announcing the fund in a statement that it was “a lawful [nope] process for victims of lawfare & weaponization to be heard & seek redress.”

    #Democrats & #government #watchdogs immediately pledged to fight what they called a #corrupt & unprecedented resolution, warning that the arrangement would unjustly enrich people close to the president with #TaxpayerMoney & open the door to meritless claims of political persecution.

  19. Dle mého názoru (DMN) se český režim snaží postavit na roveň režimu Rudých Khmérů, který zrušil majetek.

    "Nový zákon umožní zabavit podezřelý majetek. Podle odborníků hrozí zneužití" -- "právník varuje, že se do problémů mohou dostat i osoby, které se ničeho nezákonného nedopustily" -- "doma loni na podzim našli 80 milionů korun v hotovosti" -- "celoživotní úspory jeho dědečka a otce. Do banky je prý nikdy nedal, protože jeho děda zažil v 50. letech měnovou reformu a bankovním institucím tak obecně nevěřil"

    idnes.cz/zpravy/domaci/novy-za

    Cítím

    e x t r é m n ě s i l n é o p o v r ž e n í

    vůči českému režimu, když toto vidím.

    DMN plýtvavému, zkorumpovanému státu již nestací daně občanů na jeho rozhazování, tak začne občanům beztrestně loupit majetek prostřednictvím nového DMN kleptokratického zákona na frivolní loupeže majetku nepohodlným občanům.

    Dáš si peníze do banky? Ukradneme ti je na základě výmluvy AML/CFT. Necháš si je v hotovosti? Uloupíme ti je beztrestně frivolně a řekneme při tom magické slůvko "podezření z nabytí trestnou činností".

    "Putin podepsal zákon o zabavení majetku kritikům války" -- newsbox.cz/zpravy/putin-podeps

    "Kdo bude v Rusku kritizovat válku, přijde o peníze i majetek" -- "Putin podepsal zákon o konfiskaci majetku osob odsouzených za vyjádření proti válce rozpoutané Ruskem na Ukrajině" -- eurozpravy.cz/zahranicni/rozho

    "Situace se zhoršuje Nový zákon: Putin nyní vyvlastňuje kritiky války" -- "represe dosahují nového rozměru: disidenti mají přijít nejen o svobodu, ale i o majetek." -- krone.at/3251703

    V čem je teda přesně rozdíl mezi českým a ruským režimem?

  20. A trolley problem for the modern day:

    "You stand in front of a magic machine. It has a number display showing a 1, a button that adds a 0 to the displayed number, and a leaver that will kill the number of richest people in the world as shown on the display.
    How many 0s do you add to the number before pulling the leaver?" 🤔

  21. Thousands in #Midwestern #GOP Districts Attend #Sanders' First Stops on Tour to Fight #Oligarchy

    "It's like there's only one person who is actually able to sidestep the demoralization and frustration," said one observer.

    Julia Conley, Feb 22, 2025

    "After addressing more than 3,400 #Nebraska residents in Omaha Friday evening, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Saturday made his second stop on his National Tour to Fight Oligarchy—telling Iowa City, #Iowa residents that '#Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the #DCBeltway.'

    "'For better or worse, that is not going to happen,' said the Vermont Independent senator, whose broadly popular policy proposals have long been dismissed by Democratic leaders as unrealistic and radical while President Donald Trump has increasingly captured the attention of the #WorkingClass Americans who would benefit most from Sanders' ideas.

    "'It will only be defeated by millions of Americans in Iowa, in #Vermont, in Nebraska, in every state in this country, who come together in a strong #grassroots movement and say no to oligarchy, no to #authoritarianism, no to #kleptocracy, no to massive cuts to programs that #LowIncome and working Americans desperately need, no to huge #TaxBreaks for the #wealthiest people in this country,' said Sanders.

    "The senator announced his tour earlier this month as #ElonMusk, the head of the Trump-created Department of Government Efficiency ( #DOGE) who poured $277 million on the president's campaign, swept through numerous agencies, with DOGE staffers setting up illegal servers, seizing control of data, shutting federal employees out of offices, and working to shut down operations across the government.

    "Since Trump took office for his second term just over a month ago, roughly 30,000 federal employees have been fired or laid off—part of Musk's push to cut $2 trillion in federal spending in order to fill the $4.6 trillion hole that Trump's extension of the 2017 tax cuts would blow in the deficit.

    "#Republican lawmakers have also pushed to include cuts to #Medicaid, and Trump this week signaled he would back #Medicare cuts after repeatedly insisting he would not slash the popular healthcare program used by more than 65 million Americans, in order to save money while handing out tax cuts to the same #corporations and #ultrawealthy households that benefited from the 2017 tax law.

    "'Today in America we are rapidly moving toward an #oligarchic form of society where a handful of #multibillionaires not only have extraordinary wealth, but unprecedented economic, media, and political power,' said Sanders in Iowa City, which like Omaha is represented by a Republican U.S. House member who narrowly won reelection last November and has faced pressure to reject the GOP budget plan. 'Brothers and sisters, that is not the democracy that men and women fought and died to defend.'"

  23. #ElonMusk’s reactionary #anger was fueled, too, by the decision of one of his children to #transition; he later said that he had been “tricked” into authorizing #gender-affirming #care for her.

    #Musk had left the dinner at #Peltz’s house dissatisfied…. He had started talking privately to #Lonsdale, who was a member of his new friend group in Texas, & a few others about how he might take matters into his own hands.

  24. #Thiel embraced #Trump in 2016, speaking at the Republican National Convention, donating $1.25 million to support the campaign & even working alongside #SteveBannon on Trump’s transition team. 2 of his associates came along: #TraeStephens, who worked at his venture firm, #FoundersFund, & #BlakeMasters, COO of #ThielCapital, who would later run for the US #Senate. Another #PayPal & Stanford Review alum, #KenHowery, served as Trump’s ambassador to Sweden.
