Clearly small and medium size companies will be out-bribed in this scheme.

Only the big guys will win.

Thx for being clear about the risks. Eisenhower pointed out that to understand why we need the rule of law, look at places where it doesn’t exist. That’s now the track that we’ve started down. It ends badly for all humanity.

tdemocracys.bsky.social•13 days ago

The Norm Eisen crime family, which includes Russia collusion criminals Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord, will soon be going to prison. It will be a great day for our country and it can’t happen soon enough.

kindler.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, I just shifted money from my retirement savings out of US stock funds into international ones, because I expect the Trump years will be a bonanza for other countries taking advantage of our shooting ourselves in the foot in every possible way.

a huge windfall for countries with great legal systems that are at all accommodating to corporations

Only the latest evolution of Citizens United. Thanks SCOTUS. 🤷‍♂️

Trump’s goons cut research and development funds that aid in finding cures for diseases such as cancer. The way narcissists “get it” is when it happens to them. Perhaps getting cancer will wake them up.

It’s bizarre to have a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act on the books when this administration and party is in power.

Bribes are now what runs capitalism! 😡

plutoccc.bsky.social•14 days ago

We know what Trump intends to do. Many have detailed the issues enough. Missing: executable solutions, manpower, time, equipment, communications, training, and a start date. I'm just a citizen and USA's future looks dire to me. Trump canned the Constitution so, we can fire him. Let's do it.

plutoccc.bsky.social•14 days ago

The opening to remove Trump's crime circus is closing. Most major corporate new purveyors have already throttled freedom of speech. Soon, Weeks? Months? Trump is going to clamp down on all private news purveyors. Soon after that, he will want the military to publicly back his coup. Russia is here.

bpwhitecurl.bsky.social•14 days ago

What I hear is people like you,
telling us just step back to this line.
Ok stay there.
Now step back to this line.
Ok stay there.
The end line is where you and talking heads say….
‘So long sweet listener. I’ve got to protect myself. You do the same
Makes me feel a bit like a Palestinian.

busymyballs.bsky.social•14 days ago

I see you lost your security clearance and it's wonderful news because your disgusting evil lying POS should never had it. I see you being put in prison in the very near future. 🤣🤣🤣 good riddens!

Everyone must stop bringing pillows to a gunfight. Trump controls the mob & most police officers will be among them. The only way to defeat a mob is with a larger & more determined mob. You must begin large scale demonstrations, frighten Elon's brownshirts, & ensure the neutrality of the military.

krisweinschenker.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, that's what happens when the shysters have turned the Rule of Law into a morally ambiguous Tower of Babel that only serves the interests of officers of the court and their special interests and not the people at large.

strawhilluk.bsky.social•14 days ago

isn’t it OBVIOUS to any sane person — they DON’T CARE about the Constitution being there are NO CONSEQUENCES nor anyone held accountable to the letter of the Law❗️
he got away with all federal cases against him — so he’s acting IMMUNE FROM ANY CONSEQUENCES⁉️
who’s actually got the power (backbone)❓❓

If you tell me ONE MORE TIME about everything Felon 47 is doing IS ILLEGAL I will scream into the void. The biggest failure in America is the cowardice of the legal system in the past 4 years.

Here is a question to ask all of the Tech millionaires and billionaires not named Musk.

Are you okay with Musk having all your personal and company's financial information?

It's not Nuclear Brain Rocket Surgery, guys!

Bribes, been in fashion since conglomerates built markets offshore in the late '50's.

Anyone who has studied post-colonial societies immediately recognizes this type of state: Peron, Mobutu, Idi Amin all made businessmen line up at their private residences to pay "tribute".

And the band of lawyers plays on. Using described video to narrate it. Rather than conquer it.

freno1.bsky.social•14 days ago

In Indonesia, people are regularly forced to pay a large sum of money to be able to get a job, only for them to be paid ridiculously low wages that keep them in poverty- if they even do get paid by their employers!

eliza477.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's time for all Americans to read or reread Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here". I read it in high school in the late 1970s.

lakrum.bsky.social•14 days ago

As he says there is corruption like we’ve never seen, kickbacks, crime like never before.
He’s looking in the mirror and laughing all the way to the bank.
The lunatic is on the loose !

johncairns.bsky.social•14 days ago

So, bribery is good and no longer against federal law or will they just no longer enforce the existing laws?

ms1968.bsky.social•14 days ago

Who's going to enforce it? Under this administration, the law is only as Trump sees it. And yes, he thinks bribery is good. He's removed everyone who will stand in his way.

johncairns.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yeah, he kinda told everyone in advance that the law didn’t apply to him or his buddies, there will be no enforcement. Corporations won’t be happy about something that increases their costs, but it’s what they voted for as well. And they can get more tax cuts as compensation.

ms1968.bsky.social•14 days ago

Which is one of the many reasons why I'm mad at the dems. Knowing exactly what the Republicans had planned, why didn't they have a plan to counter? We all knew the election would be ify. They should have been prepared

johncairns.bsky.social•14 days ago

Probably because they were relying on the old ‘business as usual’ model and counting on the institutions that rely on everyone playing by the rules to put up guardrails. Denial is a helluva thing. Even worse is Repukes demonstrating that they have absolutely no standards whatsoever.

tempestori.bsky.social•13 days ago

What crimes should I contact the FBI about?

•Suspected acts of terrorism (including violence, funding, or recruitment) or people sympathetic to terrorists or terrorist organizations

•Threats to national security

•Other violations of federal law

robyn12.bsky.social•14 days ago

Didn’t we all know that from his last term? Refresh my memory- What is the definition of stupid?

cindylee.bsky.social•14 days ago

It all gets down to SCOTUS. If they can't be counted on then there is no law.

No, this is NOT about Musk changing votes.

If he has the numbers and evidence of Republican Jim Crow 2 voter suppression, why not shout it from the roof top.
Every. Damn. Day.

I love everything about Andrew Weissman. I learn from him anytime he’s on MSNBC or if I read something he’s written. Wish I could take him to lunch, pick a topic, and let him expound!

Trump is #ThirdWorldingAmerica right before our wide eyes. Please popularize this term with regards to just about everything Trump and Musk do:

#SquanderingAmericasGreatness

We see our greatness as a caring, efficient, and positive force bleed out.

I do not feel my husband’s or mine information are safe, when we do our taxes. I know we will have to pay and I pay by credit card. It could be used by the children that are going through our personal accounts in the Treasury Department. I really do not want to do my taxes.

bittiegirldonna.bsky.social•14 days ago

We are supposed to get a refund via direct deposit to checking and that has me worried.

vewolf.bsky.social•14 days ago

We are not the only ones. I talked to others and they are not sure about even submitting their taxes. Considering none of the ones running any of the departments have paid taxes. Musk doesn’t even pay taxes.

labsp61.bsky.social•13 days ago

I just had this conversation with my husband yesterday. It actually feels dirty and unsafe to submit our federal income taxes this year.

junglegps.bsky.social•14 days ago

Exactly. The rule of law vs. the law of the jungle. Might is right. Survival of the richest. Dog eat dog. These are not the traits of an enlightened civilization. It’s a return to barbarism, crusades, and Feudalism.
