So what is the game plan for when we take the house and senate back? Are we going to reverse those tax breaks with a different plan that negates them? Are we going to close tax loopholes for millionaire/billionaires so they have to pay what they owe? Let’s start planning now.

donniedonner.bsky.social•9 days ago

Are we going to throw out the whole kit and caboodle and start over with something better?

admhortensia.bsky.social•8 days ago

In theory that is attractive. In practice it will open things up to more instability and bad choices. We are going to have to work with what is left, change things slowly and thoughtfully, and we are going to have to be much more involved in our democracy rather than watching from the sidelines.

donniedonner.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well, that's my point. What is left maybe us throwing out Kit N Caboodle and starting over.

sommer-mckelvie.bsky.social•8 days ago

That’s what the t party was and that was the beginning of roll call of idiots

donniedonner.bsky.social•8 days ago

No, that's not even close to what I'm thinking of.

Step one: Let the country as a whole collapse through your actions (or inaction)

Step two: Scream at everyone that this is just part of your masterplan

Step three: Actually figure out what the masterplan is about

He got lost on the way to step three.

donniedonner.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well, he had the concepts of a plan.

danielausparis.bsky.social•8 days ago

Well yes, hate and destruction is what the MAGA base wanted all along. Vengeance for the victims of neo liberalism.

The billionaire bailout is a detail, and Fox doesn’t talk about that.

Destroying some people's retirement accounts will, in fact, shorten some people's lives.

Trump is committing economic murder & celebrating it while the world watches.

But, hey, ok.

We want to see his sorry ass in prison

It’s beyond time for you guys to start fighting dirty. Decorum is done, they’re stripping it all for parts and the Dems are looking like they’re doing (almost) nothing.

This idiot Trump doesn’t even know how to play chess. He keeps trying to behave like a king, but it comes off as a pawn.

srdaddy13.bsky.social•8 days ago

I have saved diligently for 35 years. I diversified and was prudent with my investments. The actions of Trump since he became President has cost me 20% of my life savings. And the sad part is that these are self inflicted wounds. If he had just built on what Biden had started we would be fine. Sad

He’s bragging that he intentionally crashed the stock market? Thereby plunging world economy into chaos? That will be the most untoward statement and an irresponsible action of a United States president ever. It’s the more reason he’s unfit to be president. Imagine Obama had said that?

nerkflern.bsky.social•9 days ago

Why did you vote against the resolution brought by Sen. Sanders supported by Sen. Merkley to block the $8.8 billion in arms and aid to Israel. Netanyahu has explicitly stated his aim to take territory inside Gaza. Is there no Red line for your support of this atrocity being carried out by Israel?

trucanpat.bsky.social•8 days ago

"The poor MAGAs are happy and applauding because they benefit the most. All that stock market money is given by Trump to them, and they become rich."

According to Trump's world genius economic advisor🤣

andrewhappy.bsky.social•8 days ago

They'll literally let him do anything.

phacelia.bsky.social•8 days ago

You just voted YES to send another $8.8 BILLION of weapons to Netanyahu to kill more children (more than 300 since he broke the ceasefire) & paramedics (15 killed in one day & their bodies bulldozed into a mass grave). Why are you voting w/ the GOP supporting funding that slaughter?

paulie1968.bsky.social•8 days ago

This whole tariff thing seems insane. Even most billionaires are only "paper billionaires" based on their large shareholdings in the companies they partly own, they don't have actual billions hoarded away in a Scrooge McDuck type cave somewhere, so a market collapse isn't in their interests either.

darvitwendy.bsky.social•8 days ago

They can buy stocks and shares cheaply and will even richer (on paper or otherwise) when the markets rise again

paulie1968.bsky.social•8 days ago

With the vast majority of their wealth already invested and huge tax charges becoming due on sale of holdings, I can't see this being the case. You can't just liquidate vast holdings to then get in again lower without severe tax consequences that would most likely wipe out any gains.

malamommy.bsky.social•8 days ago

It is when they can buy land and other items super cheap. That’s the whole point of what Trump is doing. They’re gonna buy land to build their effing freedom cities, where according to Yarvin’s writings, they’ll be able to do anything they want, including cutting “unproductive” people’s hands off.

peterskinner.bsky.social•8 days ago

I suppose it does make sense if it is all a scam for Musk, Putin Orban and the Oligarchs to "buy the dip" before Trump admits he was just joking all along.

mozzarellasticks.bsky.social•8 days ago

He's playing checkers but sadly too many people are too stupid to even play that.

He's not unintentionally crashing the markets due to incompetency. He's intentionally crashing the markets so oligarchs can further monopolize everything.

The only solution now is a full on collapse. Fuck capitalism

I want you to pretend an asteroid is about to hit the planet and the only way to save us is to go the rest of right wing media to tell MAGA. They have ZERO idea what is really going on. Get your people all over right wing media because an asteroid would be less painful to the entire globe.

So start a counter action, Senator.

Start to build a case for impeachment around Trump intentionally crashing our economy. Don't let Rs convince the shocked masses that this is "normal".
