“Our government, National and State, must be freed from the sinister influence or control of special interests. Exactly as the special interests of cotton and slavery threatened our political integrity before the Civil War, so now the great special business interests too often control and corrupt the men and methods of government for their own profit. We must drive the special interests out of politics.”
– Theodore Roosevelt
The *best* people.
Just like Putin.
Guess whose money (taxes paid into YOUR treasury) they want.
The two things that might save us are their collective Virtuoso Incompetence, combined with their single-minded, self-serving avarice. These people didn’t become billionaires by sharing their toys in the sandbox, they got it by taking everyone else’s toys for themselves. Now that they have access to the Treasury, they’ll be stuffing their pockets.
The non-billionaires might actually be worse, as they’ll see this as their best chance to elevate themselves to billionaire status, and steal everything they can.
Meanwhile, the rest of them will be fighting amongst themselves to prove they’re the Trumpiest assholes in DC, which means supporting the stupidest, most self-destructive policies possible.
We knew this would happen, and yet, people voted for him anyway. We now have no choice but to weather the storm.
The oligarch economy will cause a lot of pain and suffering
And many of the financially challenged/poorest completely and blindly support it.
Requiem for America
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you let me in,” says Trump, effortlessly assuming the lead role. It’s as if he’s reciting his own story, joined in chorus by an African rock python and an Indian cobra.
It’s what the American voter wanted, I guess
Someone needs to document the current financial (benchmark) status of Republican members of Congress and then at yearly intervals thereafter to document how much Trump and his band of 1 percenters spend to buy their votes.
They’re all there for the grift, not our welfare.
Unlike presidential administrations of the past which were staffed by good proletarian families like the Rockefellers and the Kennedys, the Cheneys, the Bushes…
One could argue that the US has been a covert oligarchy since the 80s.Trump might just be the catalyst for them to come out of the cupboard with it and flaunt it now.
TLDR: yes, they could and they are actively trying to gain control of the levers of government.
Well, at least they ain’t hiding it now.
No shit
Burn it all down after these people steal the treasury – there is no other way to wake stupid people up- or wait these imbeciles will blame Democrats anyway – so I double dare these fascist treason criminals to burn it all down !
He isn’t even in office yet and Musk is already giddy about increasing cap on H1b. So much for America first lol
But think of the egg prices! /s
“oligarchs poised to govern for their Profit” Is like saying “unexpected surprise” or “wet rainy day”
No shit?
And we’re handing over the keys peacefully! Following decorum is such a roast when we’re about to lose democracy itself, but hey we’re really sticking it to Trump, right? Right?
If the past 4 years of everything we’ve been saying it’s true. It’s people like me and the majority of Americans who will struggle the most, while the elite and rich in this country will still do just fine.
“govern”
what a fucking travesty
Of course he did. MAGA is a mental illness.
I feel bad for that kid that they basically exist to hang around Leon’s neck for good PR
America elected a guy who tried to overthrow the government. Once you get away with doing that, all bets are off. Terrorist trump and his Terrorist organization is going to destroy the lower and middle class. He’s using a 3 point plan right in front of our faces and 80 million Americans are foaming at the mouth for it. Step one. Threaten tariffs. Even if tariffs arent imposed, it still gives corporations the right to raise prices due to the possibility of tarrifs. See more record profits, higher consumer prices. Mass deportations step 2. Eliminate cheap work force, which again, even if it happens or not, allows corporations to raise prices. Anytime there’s a threat even if it never becomes reality. Companies raise prices to cover. Step 3. Eliminate millions of American jobs (us government workers, removing union protections, employee rights) and replace them with minimum wage visa immigrant slave workforce. We are about to see the largest shift of wealth from the lower classes to the upper class ever in the history of the US. get ready for double digit inflation, unemployment, foreclosures at all time highs ect.
That’s great and all that it’s all out in the open, but even the Dems do this same shit. And before you tell me “both sides!!!”, just keep in mind that the Citizen’s United ruling gave every politician that wanted power the ability to take as much dark money as they want to further their political career.
Hahahahahahaha! What do you expect? When a donkey 🫏 gets into a palace, the donkey 🫏 doesn’t become a king 🤴. The palace turns into a Stable! Get your popcorn 🍿 and watch the shit show! Fanatic Christians took over and this country is done. Vance is the project 2025 plan for the next few elections.
This is literally the American version of what happened in the new Russian Federation c. 2000 when Putin took office. Fucking Yeltsin.
May President Musk and the republicans fail in all their endeavors.
If only enough people saw it coming and showed the fuck up to vote. But we’re at where we’re at, I truly hope people get what they voted for.
There’s nothing new about this. trump did the exact same thing the last time he won.
Trump is a disaster in many ways, but it really is a mind-boggling bit of political sleight of hand that a billionaire businessman famous for ripping off his workers manages to convince a huge chunk of the electorate that he’s “fighting the elites” by appointing a cabinet filled with other billionaire businessmen, not to mention the literal richest man on Earth (also famous for ripping off his workers) acting as a kind of shadow VP.
Return of the swampiest swamp monsters the modern world has ever known. A plague upon us all…when are we going to rise up and push back?
That photo…. So dystopian. It looks AI in it’s framing. The boy on his shoulders… The guy from the 1800’s behind him… The castle guard to his left. And all the peasants taking photos of the whole thing. This is some creepy shit folks.
Didn’t he do this last time? And pretty blatantly!? And most got away with it. For every guy like Tom Price who got fired (for taking attention away from Trump), there are two Wilbur Ross’s – who is retired on some island, and will never be charged.
And, every American is sitting back & watching this and being distracted with consumption.
maga minions have no clue what they’re in for: cut assistance for health care, cut welfare, cut employment benefits, cut Medicare, Medicade, cut FREEDOM
Well yeah. He’s a lame duck from day one, what does he care?
His first term was a cash grab but at least then he had to pretend to treat lightly because of reelection. Nothing to lose this time. Not that it matters, the cult would vote for him if he shot someone on fifth avenue. They’d love him even more if it was a black or Latino that he shot.
This is exactly what I would expect Trump to do.
*BREAKING NEWS!:* wannabe oligarch teams up with other wannabe oligarchs to usher in oligarchy! More at 11.
