If anything, it's the opposite. But this is going to be the convicted felon admin's tactic to take EVERYTHING apart. Average people who haven't been paying attention for the last 10 years are going to be gobsmacked at the shit happening beginning in three days from now.
USA Establishment is not a democracy. Now it is dictatorship and everybody have to pay the dictator not their fair taxes. I assume one of his children will inherit the presidency
It's looking like Barron's getting tee'd up to be his successor that's one of the problems with a crime family you can't have someone coming along and digging up all those skeletons so you have to always have someone in the top job to protect the family.
Why am I getting the feeling that Trump calls out (fill in the blank media) and in a few days they are settling out of court or throwing money at Trump.
Trump is just "working the refs." GOP accuses media of anti-GOP bias, not bc it's true, but for the purpose of pushing media/social media Rightward. It works very well.
All the rich billionaires are selling their souls to Trump, because he has threatened them w harassment by his stooges in DOJ and elsewhere. And they are afraid. And their cowardice, and capitulation are contagious. If you don’t fight this bastard, he’ll devour your souls. Stand and fight.
The goal is to go from a Democracy to a Technocracy run by Technocrats.
Just as Libertarians follow Ayn Rand, they follow Von Braun's book on Mars re: Jim Stewartson.

20/01 is the inauguration of a kleptocracy, where the wealthy come cap in hand, to pay homage and bend the knee to the King, to protect their wealth and power.
They all caved. Every single one, under the slightest threat.
They complained about democrats to the moon and back, but democrats never once said "we're going to ruin your business because you're too mean to us." But Trump did, and EVERY. SINGLE. TECH. COMPANY. CAVED.
You really think the threat is slight? Your ire is focused on the wrong target. The Supreme Court said Trump is immune from any use of presidential power as extortion.
I have unlimited ire for the orange fascist and our corporate-owned supreme court.
But many of these companies professed to have "principles" and then tossed them at the first sign of trouble. While, whenever democrats talked antitrust, fought like hell to resist any and all change.
I’d suggest to you that this isn’t the first sign of trouble. Many of those companies resisted Trump’s first term extortion attempts. Since then political and justice systems have failed to hold him accountable, the judicial branch immunized him and he was re-elected. They are in a dangerous place.
So do what you do with far lesser threats from dems, and fight it out in court in a protracted multi-year case that ends in a settlement.
And if you lose, THEN cave.
I have no sympathy for obeying in advance. All prior messaging about their principles are proven to be marketing.
We disagree on the concept of advance. They’re managing risk. New risks in a new world where relief isn’t available in the courts. They’re behaving rationally given the circumstances and I like it less than you.
These people never learn. No matter how much money you donate to Trump, it is not enough to fulfill his GREED. And these billionaires are suckers just like the MAGA crowd
Well that's the first step . Then it eventually became just like Russia. Well in all honesty America is almost there.
I maybe over stating it but acting like it won't happen cause America is smarter then that got us here . So it's time to start a fire under the none Maga swallowing Americans
I think you should look up what communism actually is because America is nowhere close to becoming a communist nation. Communism is an economic system and we’re deeply entrenched in capitalism. Our system is run by capitalists.
Look dude . I have no beef with you but this is the problem with Americans today . Not taking the enemy from within seriously enough. Trump and his Magats are the real enemy from within and have taken over. WTF do you think project 25 is about
So. Twitter becoming what it is today , bluesky opening the flood gates . Now Zucky is Bending over . Banning TT cause Zucky boy wants it . Trump attacking Google CEO who now will join the tech boy Monday . I can go one. I may be
overthinking it trump love executive order's. Right ?????
Thanks for your news network. As an outsider (European citizen), I could barely stand to watch US-related political news apart from some (YouTube-) Podcasts for the next 4 (probably way more) years
They can have any type of bias they want to have … who the hell does trump think he is … his delusional self is campaigning for emperor of the world by the looks of it ! 🤪
FFS. It's one thing to give up social media but I really like using Google. If it's going to become the republican search engine of choice and I have to start using SuckSuckGo, then I'm going to start losing my tiny fragile mind.
Perhaps Opera might be ok, (because Bing is awful).
The GOP and American voters gave him that ‘platform’ for him to keep lying and accusing people he deems his enemies. Most Americans hardly think of the credibility of politicians they have to vote for. A reckless society led by felons will soon become like Putin’s kleptocracy.
I must have been misinformed. I thought that billionaires were billionaires because they are highly-virtuous individuals, as opposed to the poor, who are poor because they are lazy and incompetent.
YouTube is his next target of media to try and get some level of control over. Watch for the platform to be targeted by “Oversight” claiming it is biased & needs to be regulated.
I am SO fucking sick of this "anti-conservative" bias bullshit. We are literally INUNDATED with conservative bias from every fucking corner of media and the Internet. These ppl just nonstop complain and attack and it's EXHAUSTING. Their well of hate seems bottomless...
These companies may no longer say no to requests from US/authoritarian government, the privacy and safety of data will be necessary when people are involved in activities that be by government. Like changing Gmail to Proton mail... Folks, relax and prepare.
Protonmail might not keep users anonymous from the government of Switzerland if users put the personal information like backup email in their profile settings, but there is still democracy there and they might not surrender to the incoming US government.
Trump is a mafia boss requiring the billionaires to pay for protection. He couldn’t make his businesses work so he is using intimidation to make his money.
Let’s hope these corporations don’t bend to all his threats! Unfortunately too many of these big companies are now having to buying their way into the graces of 47🤦🏻♀️
Trump has no clue as to how much Google is spying on everyone. Every chrome book they “donated” to every public school (now all shuttering due to Jesus Vouchers) includes Teacher student parent administrative emails. Grades, discipline, SPED records. Their AI is scraping & running analytics too.
Nationaized extortion. These tech bros can buy and sell Tiny Man's ass several times over but they kiss the ring because they all want the same thing: government protection as they go after the rest of what they don;t already control.
The sooner you realize the interests of the bourgeoisie - the ownership class - has vested interest in any group that will violently defend their dominance, the better.
Take the fact that I'm doing home renovations right now... the CEO's of Lowe's, Home Depot, Amazon... all Trumpers. Sheit, Home Depot has some products that I want that ONLY they have.
Your analysis is wrong. Business bend to fascists even if they don't carry the name of a billionaire. Fascists are the problem here, not the businessmen.
The problem is that the legislative limits on the elites have been eroding. As there is more corruption and money in politics, wealth redistribution fails.
Now, we are witnessing a complete breakdown of the business/politics barrier, as every businessman is openly begging for favors from Trump.
As if it weren’t already apparent, the past few weeks of capitulation hopefully show “reform capitalism” liberals that you cannot reform this. We need an economic system owned by workers and society, not plutocrats.
Check out open secrets websiteSupreme Court, Republicans and some Democrats have META stock they bought after they signed the bill last year dig in mutual funds to find it, others have it listed on the first page. This will be the biggest heist and insider trading crime in history
He really does love all his hits like a has-been Catskills comedian: “looking very closely, in two weeks, like we’ve never seen before, people are saying, if you look at what’s happening…”
Trump is nothing more than a half-wit, profiteering, fascist bully.
Hopefully he doesn’t last even this term.
The country and world will be a better place when he and his entourage are out of power and out of the picture.
What's the difference? They're all capitalist whipping boys who exist to serve the interests of their god (money). Being a conservative is just a pathetic coward's way of being a Nazi, just like being a Liberal (not a leftist) is a coward's way of being conservative
You guys know he does this in order to create the thing he accuses you of doing, except for the right wing Hitler propaganda his side uses, right? He uses you so you will be more like him. Losers. All of you.
The mega-rich are all wannabe experts in fields they aren't. Extracting wealth from the poor isn't a qualification in fields like human rights, medicine, biology, quality of life (aside from the rich dudes) and most fields concerning humans and the human condition.
Trump says a lot of things; fear, intimidation, bullying is his MO. America, we must not allow him to win by intimidation. We must stand up to him, challenge him, and not give into his bellowing. He can be defeated if we act together & not lose confidence. Remember, basically he is a stupid man.
Regarding Trump wanting the resignation of all those involved in the Afghanistan withdrawal, since it was his plan, are we to expect his resignation soon?

Hope one day their grandchildren look back on them with disgust.

Parents, don't let your sons grow up to be billionaires.

YouTube! Sh!t!
...it feeds you stuff you are consuming.
So if you're getting anti-conservative stuff, that's on you sweetie
🤣
Boomers
Are we all catching on?
Bad news.
Master of capital will always.
Always.
A L W A Y S.
Bow to fascism.
The sooner you realize the interests of the bourgeoisie - the ownership class - has vested interest in any group that will violently defend their dominance, the better.
They. Do. Not. Like. You.
Profits are their only goal.
That's the only goal of capitalism.
Enriching capitalists.
That's it!
That's the trick!
NONE of us can escape them.
Take the fact that I'm doing home renovations right now... the CEO's of Lowe's, Home Depot, Amazon... all Trumpers. Sheit, Home Depot has some products that I want that ONLY they have.
Can't escape them.
We can't escape them, yet.
But we can.
There are so many more of us than them.
So we read theory - Marx, Lenin, Mao, Makhno, whomever - and we figure out how to take back what WE made.
Coca-Cola invented Sprite via Fanta as they sold product in fascist countries.
BMW & Volkswagen made tanks & jets & vehicles for the Nazis.
Bayer used to be a part of IGFarben, makers of Zyclon B.
Ford loved the Nazis.
CAPITALISM IS BAD, OK?
Now, we are witnessing a complete breakdown of the business/politics barrier, as every businessman is openly begging for favors from Trump.
They've been eroded by those same elites - the capitalist class.
This is why the answer is not safeguards or taxation, but the end of the capitalist system.
Remove them from power, & give their stolen wealth back to those they stole it from, the working classes!
Currently, that's also incorrect.
Just replying "incorrect" doesn't say anything.
Ford, Coca-Cola, Texaco, BMW, Hugo Boss, Coco Chanel, VW, IBM, IGFarben, Messerschmidt, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Fiat, Thyssen-Krupp.
Today, it's the same w/ tech capitalists & others.
The felon needs just...onnnne more to complete his Tony Soprano transformation.
