a decadent and rotten elite that crumbled at the barest touch, and can't defend even its own interests.

However, once Trump enacts those, the rating of our debts by S&P and Moody's will crumble, interest rates will spike, and the economy will go into depression.
Our oligarchs are just as stupid as they look.
All they want is money because they don't know what Honor is. The world is full of weak men pretending to be strong ones.
Protest until there is no other remedy than for him, elon, vance, and johnson all to be removed forever from public office.

"bUt sOcIaLiSm KiLls!" So does whatever godforsaken ideology we have right now, which isn't socialism
Band together and fight back
I checked the numbers with this post saying "million", and then I had to change it....
They didn’t do this because they were morally-upstanding. They might not even be great business men. They may have just been in the right place at the right time.
Also maybe it just makes people less afraid of stuff.
When we get through this we need to rethink the type of people we allow rise to the top.
I like a good gelatin salad. Throw some pineapple and mandarin oranges in there.
And we won't forget.
I never imagined that their cowardice would outpace their greed. Useless! Why do we put up with them?
It’s the exact same shit.
After the global scale and scope of the criminality and civil torts they have committed, then CANNOT POSSIBLY allow a return to the rule of law.
It would be a post WWII situation for them. Thousands of them would lose everything.
Not a very uplifting example of courage, honor, patriotism, or even basic understanding of history.
But very human, unfortunately.
Rich people, at home or abroad? That's different.
Methinks it's because rich people are all part of the same tribe, and they'd rather not fight with fellow country club members.
The stupidest way to run a government.
This is where it gets you.
What a giant crock of shit
Kids who couldn’t say no to their parents stage-managing their lives grow into “leaders” who fall into old patterns when told what to do by Trump.
American aristocrats have never had to fight for anything.
European aristocracy thrived because a trained knight in full armor was the human equivalent of a tank.
Expensive to train and equip, but ideally suited to putting down civilian revolts.
We are just more into desk murder than direct violence.
Trump is financial illiterate, how much proof do you need?
It's all just enactment; hyperpolitics. A complete loss of contact with reality.
