Why would you assume that ever happens?

livviesjam.bsky.social•1 day ago

I won’t hold my breath, they’re all corrupt.

Meanwhile, how’s this a win for the American people? According to the article, Starlink stands to generate $1B from broadband access to India. But until we start taxing the morbidly rich commensurately, the only “American” who stands to benefit is Elon.

This is a prime example of billionaires benefiting from our free market capitalist system and not paying ANYTHING back. Fuck Elon and his stupid satellites. 🖕

Call/Write to your Representatives today and ask them what they are going to do about this!

I want Jack Smith to head them all.

Congress? What's that?

sophialarkrose.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think Ontario just cancelled all their Starlink contracts. 🇨🇦💪

It would be comforting to believe that there would ever be consequences.

How long since he came down the escalator? Ten-ish years?

There will never be consequences. The rule of law doesn't exist for billionaires.

They’ll get a slap on the wrist if anything.. Our Government is done. If we don’t clean house on both sides and change laws then we’re a nation of idiots.. it’s nuts that we sat back and allowed it to get this far..Compared to other countries our quality of life has been SHIT for DECADES 🤔🥺🤦🏻‍♀️

prrh.bsky.social•1 day ago

Both sides? Only half the country are idiots.

stacymay.bsky.social•22 hours ago

Right. But unfortunately some are also our democratic representatives. Idk if you’ve noticed but the last 25+ yrs our quality of life has gone to shit. Wages stagnant, healthcare shit, housing shit, education unaffordable, toxic food and environment. BOTH sides helped to get us here. 💯🤦🏻‍♀️

IMO, the problems are structural. Senate malapportionment, House gerrymandering with very safe red districts, sixty votes to pass a bill in the Senate, electoral college, Supreme Court membership contorted by McConnell.
Dems have tried to pass good bills. Rs only interested in tax cuts.

I hope that I live long enough to see it happen.

Geriatric Democrat Pols and Consultants: we must look forward, not backward.

maverickgator.bsky.social•1 day ago

Absolute corruption. And I hope Elon is prosecuted for it. That fucker doesn't have any immunity.

nancyannn.bsky.social•2 days ago

Only if we stop musk’s take over of the world’s communications.

midwestjeff.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's becoming very clear what the next administration needs to focus on, criminal prosecution for every crime committed under Donald Trump. The rule of law born again.

kimwetheppl.bsky.social•1 day ago

They will need a whole library for the books on this

I sense sarcasm in your voice, Bradley

Et tu Quid-pro-quo?

acadianrunner.bsky.social•2 days ago

Dems should run on nationalizing Starlink and other Elon companies, saying its a national emergency to divest from a man so volatile.

I dont know why they didnt under Biden, tbh

I know it's bad form to post despondency stuff, especially first thing in the morning, but we need to imagine that by the time Trumpism's done the institutions that could *maybe* have restored America to some kind of wobbly normal might have been dissolved as completely as a sugar cube in hot tea.

gyrogordini.bsky.social•1 day ago

it may be bad form, but these are exceptional times. post away...

jayt.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not going to happen, if Dems ever get in any sort of power again, Repubs will block it all

slindquist.bsky.social•1 day ago

I won’t hold my breath.

we-are-toast.bsky.social•2 days ago

I sure wish I could believe that.

scot-f.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just like the investigation into Jared Kushner accepting a 2 billion dollar investment from the Saudi wealth fund immediately after working in the Whitehouse?

Because if so I'll start investing in the crickets now...

davidrlurie.bsky.social•1 day ago

An efficient way for governments to ... line Musk's pockets.

5thgenfljane.bsky.social•1 day ago

Citizens must demand that their congressional delegation take action to remove Trump from office. Then, they will need to ride herd on Vance and the Heritage Foundation.
