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 laughableQuotes
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]

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. -

Three essays castigating Europe. The coda declines the exam. You cannot out-parasite the original parasite. Europe's real option: pre-Friedman capitalism, upgraded.

#Trump in December authorized an $11B arms package for #Taiwan — the largest weapons sale ever to the island — but has not yet moved forward with delivery & even acknowledged that he’s discussed the sale with #Xi. He’s groused that Taiwan “stole” America’s #semiconductor business & called on Taiwan to pay the #US for protection.

That could block #public #access to more than 700 million White House emails, among countless other records, in Archives possession since the #law went into effect in 1978, Baron said.
…The impact of the #DOJ opinion could be felt quickly by #historians, #scholars & #journalists who regularly access presidential records & make requests for their release.

#Trump #DOJ #antitrust head Gail Slater stepping down less than a year after being appointed.
In July, Reuters reported 2 of Slater's deputies were fired for “insubordination” after a settlement greenlighting #HewlettPackard Enterprise's $14 billion acquisition of #JuniperNetworks. The move exposed a power struggle within Trump's admin between proponents of robust antitrust enforcement & dealmakers seeking to #leverage #influence.

We literally have the best government money can buy, and our nation, our very survival depends on unflinchingly addressing this pugnacious problem of money as free speech foisted on us by the unaccountable SCOTUS, “Repugnicans” and Corporate Democrats.

#Trump said he doesn’t know #TrevorMilton but was told that the way Milton was treated by the justice system was “very unfair.”
“And they say the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported a gentleman named Donald Trump for president,” Trump said. 🤮🤮🤮
Trump also said he acted after receiving some “fantastic recommendations”about Milton.[💰]

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.'"

#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.
