Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable.

Then:
- Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary
- Meta gave Trump $25M
- Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions

Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners.

Corruption.

Alexander Hamilton to James Madison in 1787-

“..we should add something about …if you’re a felon, you can’t be president “

They both laugh..

“Dude, no way that will happen…we’ve revised this puppy so many times now..let’s put it to bed”

Yes this is not covered as what is covered by the supreme court’s normal presidential job
Can we impeach him now

They pay to get Trump favors. Trump is selling the White House and American government for personal profit. 🙃

thats a good joke about holding any of them accountable while giving them massive government contracts.

It is terrifying to me that our government is so beholden to (and giving billions of dollars to) one person. It would be terrifying even if the person wasn’t an evil maniac. But these contracts haven’t just happened in the last 2 months. Who dropped the ball on seeing this as a problem before now?

I am kind of sceptical. They open these investigations that drag on for years and years. None of the above ever got held accountable for anything.
Similar to Merrick Garland's pretend-DOJ, unable to bring the ringleaders of the insurrection to justice in 4 years, in spite of overwhelming evidence.

Once there is a semblance of order restored, can we please do whatever it takes to ensure this shit can never happen again? We have to have more than just guardrails in place because this is a completely new era of politics we have never seen before. "Quantum politics", if you will.

cbwflg.bsky.social•1 day ago

We have discovered that much of what we thought was defined as law has really just been convention carried on through some sense of honor. Sadly, the entire world now knows this as well and we will likely never regain their trust.

destinysproblmchld.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's true, the law and constitution only mean anything as long as people are willing to uphold it. It will take someone very special to heal the wounds trump has inflicted.

Every action gives the impression that our government believes that there will never be another president but Trump.

I WILL NOT be shocked when it is announced that he is president for life, followed by his first-born.

I have said for some time that I look forward to a day that a woman or person of color in a position of power that has been the domain of white men is no longer newsworthy because it is so commonplace. I doubt I’ll live to see it though.

If we can crash tesla stock, meta and amazon should be next. I think we should make it our mission to bankrupt all of these billionaires. Stop using their services and products. If our tax dollars are going directly to the pockets of billionaires, why should we continue to pay taxes?

The last two purchases I almost made on Amazon, I did a little research, and a little math, and was able to find other vendors to buy from. If everyone started doing that it would make a world of difference.

If only we had a functional Congress to stop this or at least any opposition party that didn't act like they were just complaining about the colors of the walls and the carpeting while the whole house is burning down around us.
