White collar crimes like fraud, insider trading, embezzlement, etc., should be punished by placing the criminal's assets in trust and providing them with a low-wage job, a 15 year-old car that barely runs and a rundown apartment in a slum where they have to subsist for the length of their sentence.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the Pentagon right now, the sound of gnashing of teeth has to be deafening.

📌What if we hit back against the fascist, corporate overlords like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg and their slobbery minions who fall at their fat little feet? 📌It's time to eat the rich, good people, and let THEM know who the REAL boss is. 📌Starve the bastards. U.S. Economic Blackout 2025.

📌If Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer were coaches for some sports team, they would have been fired by now… This has to be the meekest, non-response to a daily ass-kicking I have ever seen.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them. Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

I am deeply ashamed that the U.S. is not among these defenders of Ukraine but deeply grateful to the other nations of the world who have stood up to fill the void we have left.

📌NYT Headline: “Trump flips the script on Russia, blames Zelenskyy” Sorry, but what the fuck are we supposed to do with crap like this? 📌”Trump betrays Zelenskyy, surrenders to Russia” There, fixed it.

Some don’t even realize they’re actually eating all the faces.

📌URGENT: The Associated Press is one of the foremost news operations in the world. Without it, most media entities could not survive. 📌Well, the AP has now been barred from the White House. I'd suggest very strongly that any media that gets its news from AP takes a damn stand here in solidarity.

EEEK! COOTIES! www.salon.com/2025/02/12/l...

The DOGE posse may be techno whiz kids on X but when it comes to government systems they have no idea how complex they are, and the potential consequences are enormously destructive. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

WH budget director and Project 2025 author Russell Vought cut off funding to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. He called the agency "unaccountable", apparently in contrast to politicians who are only accountable to their billionaire donors many of whom want free rein to screw consumers.

It's beginning to look like T***p will succeed in destroying the mechanisms of government that restrain him unless a massive effort takes shape in opposition. Part of that may be GOP pols realizing their interests will be served by turning on him. We should all encourage that in any way possible.

This may be premature, but it's probably going to take every tool in the toolbox to slow or stop the march toward dictatorship. Besides, it's not outside the realm of possibility that a handful of GOP politicians may smell the changing winds of popular opinion. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

If you're unhappy with how your vote in the recent election has turned out, no one cares about your regrets and no one is interested in making you apologize. Just join in the effort to stop the destruction of the republic before it's too late.

Of course they do, surely no one thought otherwise did they? www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Morning Joe suggested that GOP senators are voting to confirm T***p's ridiculous cabinet picks for fear of violence from his MAGA followers. If so, they need to resign in favor of someone with a spine, because that's the job now, and because you didn't stop him when you had the chance.
