Terrible. If you and your family were under duress and in fear for your lives, would that be a “negotiation”?
Come on man, so few billionaires not to hate. Do better

Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal
Dylan, Like a Rolling Stone
MAGA, he doesn't care. If you live. If you die. He doesn't care.

MAGA is going to have a rude awakening when they finally realize he doesn't care if they die. All of them.

Stop the Steal
How are we not co-opting it? Their side would’ve stolen it by now

Six S's of MAGA
1. Scared: "Only I can fix this for you"; egg prices
2. Scary: KKK/Nazis
3. Stupid: Lincoln's "fool some of the people all the time"
4. Selfish: MY power, MY $; GOP establishment
5. SCOTUS: guns&abortion
6. Sad: Incels. Can't get laid; Vote for Trump
Multiple S's for many MAGA

Back before Benioff was bestowing awards on Trump, when states were going to do a bathroom ban and Salesforce and a number of other companies quickly reacted, it worked and the states backed down. The potential financial hit worked.
What about same, targeting MAGA states

What do the CEOs do. They *have* to have enforceable contracts, or nothing works. They know this.
Do the multinationals abandon the US?
Can we not use this as leverage to get some of them to move to support our side. Only so many seats in Trump's game of musical chairs. Very few CEOs get one

So, a la Marbury vs Madison, where SCOTUS gave themselves power, if executive branch is not following rulings, does Roberts Court then declare that, as the only way to enforce the Constitution, that the military temporarily reports to the Chief Justice.

And what the Donner Party wouldn’t have given for NOAA.
Probably an arm and a leg.

How about some of the “good” billionaires stepping up and if the resisters stay and get fired, which could result in losing their pensions, that the billionaires will step in and make them whole. Hell, double what they’d get. What say you @mcuban.bsky.social?

Each of these publications should offer free 4 year subscriptions to any federal employee who has a start date prior to 1/20/25

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com was talking about just this. What happens when Trump/Elon tell John Roberts to go fuck himself. Or will Roberts understand this and never go so far as to cause this -- #SCOTUS breaking rule #1 of Obeying in Advance.
We have to plan with this in mind

With his $290M election contribution to Trump, Elon Musk has weaponized money. We need descent Billionaires to be smart about using theirs. (And hey, you guys with only hundreds of millions or even just tens, you get to play too.)

As #SamHarris has pontificated recently, use your money for some good. Don't hang onto it to keep score against your other billionaires in "he who dies with the most money wins"
Play a different game

And you get @mcuban.bsky.social to vouch for it's trustworthiness. (Americans know you. And at this point the ones on the right side of history trust you.)
We have to keep everyone in their positions that we can for as long as we can. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

To help them Resist, how about some of you billionaires who contend you are good guys set up a plan - today - where you will *guarantee* to make any Resisters whole on their pensions. I'm talking to you who have so much damn money that you don't need to go into details re: a gov't worker's pension

Oh, some good news. For those non-MAGA famers, apologies.

And Ike was pretty spot on, since about half our current 332 million fellow citizens seem to still be supporting these monsters

Perhaps they could get a more impartial arbiter. Is Clarence Thomas busy? Or Alito?
What a farce.

I hope not. But in 2015, right before the second Republican debate, I assured my two high school and one middle school kids that "The American people are too good to elect someone like that President." So I've been wrong before.
