Apple/EU tariffs, attacks on Harvard…all purposeful mis-directs, that will not stand, from the following:

—GOP tax bill is largest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in history.

Democrats/media being played.

Yep flooding the zone as per. The real battle is the rentier class v workers.

Legacy media is 100% complicit.

Democrats and the left should probably point to articles like this and forward it all around social media to emphasize who gets hurt by this and who benefits. https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/issues/2025/5/23/house-reconciliation-bill-budget-economic-and-distributional-effects-may-22-2025

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's part of the plan. Flood the zone with so much stupidity that the left doesn't focus on the important issues. That being said, Krasnov is showing signs of mental decline.

Media owned by billionaires, not allowed to report news

bbut59.bsky.social•3 days ago

Media has rolled over for Trump since 2016 they are not being played.

thecoastghost.bsky.social•3 days ago

This cannot be solved peacefully - You lost that ability Jan 6 2021.

elizabeth617.bsky.social•3 days ago

This. First Dems take the bait over abortion, gay marriage, bathrooms, now trans. These were all emotional issues which the GOP libertarians used to drive people out to vote. Trump continues to follow the distraction playbook

nycvoter.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t think the Democrats are being played. They were up all night arguing about the terrible things in that bill. All you had to do was watch C-SPAN or clips.

tootingmyownhorn.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am seriously more scared of what the Democrats will-not do than what the Republicans are doing. We have got to get out of this nasty binary system in US that ping-pongs between R&D for (not)solving problems. I wish the “independents” rise to majority and find a way out of this disastrous mess.

hthdidwegethere.bsky.social•3 days ago

Main stream media is playing us too. Directing the news so that Orange is allowed to just keep spewing garbage with little or no push back. I believe networks got addicted to Dumpty, ratings and the shock and awe. They starting creating drama with Biden, when there was none. They are complicit.

bcacar.bsky.social•3 days ago

The media is complicit.

tracycant.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Democrats seemingly rudderless and getting onside with early Trump nominees isn't just being played...it's playing along. To all the valid points you've made about upper boundary age limits, embargoed investing while in office, etc., flight of equity from US markets is urgent to send a message.

bravado1.bsky.social•3 days ago

What do we do if people genuinely don't care, or have the power to do anything even if they cared? It really seems like the Government is truly detached from public sentiment and power.

Are the Democrats being played or does it not matter at all?

bravado1.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm genuinely afraid that the connection between voter -> representative is truly broken and there's really nothing that can be done in-between election periods. The voter gets 1 day every x years and lobbyists get all the time in.between.

kelaoshi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hey Scott, aside from NPR/PBS, can you name a single major media outlet that’s not owned by a wealthy republican donor? How exactly is the media being “played”? Buttigieg goes on Fox frequently, but most of his interviews are extremely edited.

schwantz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Definitely

dudeplease.bsky.social•3 days ago

But what does your buddy, Jake Tapper think?

Buy his new book and find out, available now at all fine book sellers and https://cnn.com

Not a chance.

nomoreguff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Look America - a deer!

ireadnewspapers.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump's supporters are the ones being played. Those of us who read newspapers and watch real news (i.e. Democrats) are well aware.

karhey.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Dems know this and are not distracted. But media sure is. Attacking the Dems does nothing. Talk about the Republicans who voted for this and the number of Americans in their states will be impacted. Definitely the same states not getting FEMA aid.

iamjohnbartho.bsky.social•3 days ago

This isn’t a tax cut. It's a $24 trillion loan GOP Republicans are taking out from the younger generation.   The people of boomer generation, many who are wealthy, are asking young people to loan them $24 trillion. And they are not going to pay it back in our lifetimes. :( !!!

gedtophd.bsky.social•3 days ago

But but but transferring wealth to the top will trickle down in hot speculative paper assets sloshing around the world economy, seeking whom it may devour

The reverse Robinhood!

tommycarver.bsky.social•3 days ago

Shaw, @democracydocket.com should call to keep tax cuts on all folks AND ADD SMALL LUXURY TAX (only few percent) on folks with over 10 Million in Assets aka Net Worth!
You can offset Luxury Tax with Certain Charitable or Investment Spend!
TAXES are Bad! Taxes are Inevitable like Death but Bad lol!

The entire US foundation is being undermined...and those not in the cult couldn't be less surprised....the world's greediest and unscrupulous person is doing it.

haethre.bsky.social•4 days ago

and we should read “poor” as anyone who isn’t wealthy.

BUT SCOTT JOE BIDENS

jupiter103.bsky.social•3 days ago

Scott, please run for president

joshuafaile.bsky.social•4 days ago

The American Fascist Party (formerly GOP) have also included a provision in the “budget” bill that would require a bond be paid by movants in order to enforce any contempt citation, which would functionally render all previous restraining orders and preliminary/permanent injunctions unenforceable.

wuwave.bsky.social•3 days ago

Americans being played more like.

pmb-ca.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don't think any of us paying attention are being played; but we are being used as a means to an end – a very ugly end. When they are done we will be a hollowed out nation – a sorry end product of greed.

eye0n.bsky.social•3 days ago

Both are complicit and must be called out. Thank you for your consistent, thoughtful comments.

raindancer451.bsky.social•3 days ago

Democrats NOT being played. Majority of media are cucks.

kempn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don’t forget about Trump’s personal crypto scam.

glennstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

one can also be distracted by the shiny object of victim-blaming Dems

let's not

Dems have been here on Bluesky talking about how the bill effects folks

(your misinformation is showing)
Dems have been fighting in Congress
GOP would love folks to fight Dems instead
row in the same direction, please

glennstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

it's important we resist

glennstorm.bsky.social•3 days ago

the "bill" crowns a king

nikedomelon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup,

Felon/sexual assault leader knows how to play the

Apprentice game🤬

Wealthy with empathy and morality works

Wealth with narcissist, egotistical
Self serving tendance

Lived thru the 2008 crisis as a banker.

The above is true
🇨🇦🇺🇦✌️

shimanti.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same bill:

- Trump stomps judges

jgerardi.bsky.social•3 days ago

@pivotpod.bsky.social should have @open-circuit.bsky.social crew on to talk about the repeal of IRA tax credits. @karaswisher.bsky.social
