Incredibly true.
What do you get for the man who has or can get anything?
His own senator, the presidency, a few Supreme Court justices, perhaps deification.
So many choices!
Yes, and In the same vein, some of the Justices of the SCOTUS are 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘺 (bought)by billionaires to get a favourable outcome for the billionaires!
Also, Trump hurriedly stacked the SCOTUS with Justices that are then more likely to change laws in 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘳 of Trump! (𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯)
Because there is not a single working class, and they are all trying to eat each other.
Discworld got it in Men at arms, they consider the Vegetable sellers and the brother in laws with fancy coaches to be part of the rich. to the working class anyone with a different job is a "rich"
I know, but it's an important point, one of the issues is that the working class is basically our own worst enemy because we will always find fault or an excuse to see other members as not part of us. We will gripe about our own wages then dismiss the same from people we contract with.
Valid though from my perspective, the pitchfork people want to put someone in power who will take my good shoes (my art, house, games, books, savings).
Its as good an analogy I can make.
Who had the idea to put nascar sponsorships on them? At this point, can't we do that with AI? Like Matterport, but you get to fly in the Capitol like the disembodied soul of democracy. The view from above: colorful 3D graphics pasted on their suits, dragging behind them like TP from Trump's shoe.
At this point, I don't even care about them paying their fair share. I want them to lose access to all their money. Even if it never returns to the economy. We are dealing with wealth addicts and they need to stay away from their drug. They need rehab.
I think any big money donors should have to pay a hefty “political tax”…with sums of money so rediculous it HURTS.
Maybe something like a 50% wealth tax.
I agree. People have such a wrong attitude in taxes looking for loopholes and ways not to pay. We should consider paying our fair share our civic and societal duty! It’s what we do to be able to live in what is a great country and doesn’t need a trump to maga were already great
If you are able and willing to do that, you can afford to pay a special tax levy of 2000% of the donation amount and make it allocable to public school children’s basic educational and dietary needs.
And what about the guy who just bought the incoming President? This what we got with the Citizens United decision. If you’re Musk, Zuckerberg, or Bezos you can buy yourself a President. It is appalling!
Senators are not for sale to individuals anymore. They have figured out how to launder huge amounts of money through foreign countries they send aid to, like Ukraine. Why do you think so many of them don't want Trump to end the war and the aid going to Ukraine?
I doubt any politician that supports and funds foreign wars cares about anything except what's in it for them. The war in Ukraine is a tragedy and I hope it ends soon. It is disgraceful for politicians to use it as a means to enrich themselves.
We on the left are actually aware of this, this image is completely inaccurate to reality. In reality the maga dolt thinks he won while the leftist should actually be trying to escape instead of this moronic "both sides fighting" shit.
I think it’s time voters realize that no one buys Senators except voters. The problem is that voters buy the people who they think buy the Senators. This is proven when perennial winners get 70% vote in their district. If the Senators were bought, they lose the next Election.

Impeach Trump.
"I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible" – Peter Thiel
They're not even trying to hide it anymore. Democracy just isn't compatible with the interests of the billionaire broligarchy.
That’s the problem with the deficit and debt.
They bought the whole damn White House.
Can we like...
...give them a break?
Femur, humerus, radius, ulna...I'm not picky.

Probably not. I need my Social Security and Medicare protected. Could use a tax break too.
