I do think it's worth marking and remembering that these people were willing to tolerate everything we've experienced since January and more provided it didn't disrupt the economy.

At least they can call their assistant's tie "gay" without someone in their head saying it's wrong.

The antisocial, line-go-up BS is largely what led us to this point. They have too many power coupons, and have proven they can't use them responsibly, so they shouldn't have them.
No law, no functioning economy. No liberal democracy, no wealth.
The only way to truly undermine him is if they turn on him.
It really is psychopathic.
But Trump can say those things, so they get a little vicarious thrill. And that’s even more pathetic.
These people are children
Because he said he’d make them rich. Super rich. Richer than they’ve ever been.
And now they know how the rest of us feel.
Then they came for the rest of the vertebrates; I did not speak out.
Then they came for the capital, and I cried so hard I vomited and shat myself like wtf I just wanted to say the r word and harm brown and trans ppl please not the moneys o woe
It does mention loving your neighbor and treating strangers well and a bunch of other stuff that gun-toting magats don't want to hear
?... more like provided it didn't disrupt their holdings.
If you are hanging on by your fingernails to $100 million, and you log in on Friday and see $89 million, and maybe get a margin call...
even if 'pocketbooks' is giving people cause or permission to speak out, feels still like an open question whether they will speak against the broader crisis or just the tariffs

Now why wouldn’t they do that? Maybe because historically the rich have gotten richer coming out of recessions.
But I agree, it would be nice if they went as hard for accountability as Republicans do for anything their orange god wants

How's that?
Focusing on this one bit obscures the main point, doesn't it?
On top of that, a recession is still coming
