1984 was not intended to be an instruction manual.

Neither was 'Handmaids Tale'. Better stop giving ideas to autocrats.

Bill Ackman is a moron.

gladlylearn.bsky.social•3 days ago

No, Bill Ackman is an overwhelmingly greedy finance capitalist, with a yearning to be dominated by a strong man.

Chuck in billions ( Paul Giamati ) was playing ackman

…they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.”

And are collaborators

Again the moral and mental gymnastics that are required by the base of this administration is staggering. Fox on air hosts must be up all night dreaming up new ways to talk up each day’s news.

Trump cult members could never believe themselves to be so gullible as to fall for such a conman, so they uphold their cult leader as brilliant, thus erasing any and all cognitive dissonance.

greyallday.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ha, they have Ackman running like an errand boy.

Only, what cleverness?

frostyzoob.bsky.social•3 days ago

Perceived cleverness.

neonymousbosh.bsky.social•2 days ago

Fantasized cleverness.

zen1924.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bill is a moron who has lost his credibility.

critton.bsky.social•4 days ago

Eichmann? or Ackman? Sounds close.

My least favorite most disgusted Zionist

philroyceman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ackman is a billionaire and loves Trump and bears shit in the woods.

godmocks.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oligarchs don't care much for democracy. They only care that their wealth is protected and nothing else. They will say anything to please the Dear Leader as long as their privilege and wealth is protected.

blvckscience.bsky.social•4 days ago

What a piece of garbage Bill Ackman is. These law firms and financial institutions must be crushed and dismantled. Drastic action is required. The people that run them will be financing Trump’s gulags. Fascism is here right now and the media is suppressing the horrifying reality of it.

neonymousbosh.bsky.social•2 days ago

My handy dandy Luigi Board just spelled out Ackman’s name…..

Does TFG have a large enough ass to fit all of these boot-lickers in there??

Insane!
I have WARNED ALL WHO HAVE READ MY TEXTS!!!
INSANITY HAS NO LIMITS.
Just LIKE FASCISM HAS NO LIMITS!!!
But: in my direct opinion; there are 9 TOTAL WHO NEED TO BE REMOVED PERMANENTLY. They should all have very sad endings; just tragic that they all had heart Attacks. TERRIBLE STRESS!

soulscompanion.bsky.social•4 days ago

Just like boys and men have always done to little girls. Fascism starts at home.

bikemuppet22.bsky.social•3 days ago

A couple days prior, Ackman was saying we are headed toward a self induced nuclear winter. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/07/trump-is-losing-the-confidence-of-business-leaders-bill-ackman-says.html

What a colossal taint licker

parkstreetunder.bsky.social•4 days ago

There's the obituary

serenejean.bsky.social•3 days ago

I personally read his series of posts over the last few days and drew the conclusion that Bill Ackerman is a complete idiot.

democritus555.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't forget Ackman was one of the big voices calling for removal of Claudine Gay at Harvard, because she was not zionist enough. And he got his way.

new2bluesky2.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ass kissers line up to praise the goon on tv!

david-stone.bsky.social•5 days ago

I lost. Didn't ackman dump on Trump the other day?

zen1924.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes, and now he is kissing his ass. Ackman is as bad as Trump

mateahan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe Ackerman having financial problems. Did he get bailed out?

rdevriesf89.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Not Xi.

leosparkle.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ackman should be exiled to Elba Island

theerraticninja.bsky.social•3 days ago

I‘d like to hear a response from the MAGAs:
What would be valid signs that Trumps politics failed?

neonymousbosh.bsky.social•2 days ago

There are interviews out there like this. And no matter what the interviewer asks, no matter how egregious the stumble or crime that’s suggested, the Magats say they would be OK with it, even if was Trump shooting someone on cold blood. It’s chilling and yet predictable at the same time.

kenyoungblood.bsky.social•4 days ago

He's pissing on them and they believe it's rain.

bselena.bsky.social•4 days ago

Must be auditioning for the same movie as Stephen Miller I guess …..
