To avoid conflicts, I wouldn't even let Obama refinance his family home when I was his ethics czar
Now Trump is hoovering in hundreds of millions in violation of the law!
That's a threat to our national security as I discussed @MSNBC
@RapidResponse47 "Dear Mr. President"
You idiots literally posted a letter you sent to the head of a foreign nation recognizing "Her Excellency" and then said "Mr. President"....and then POSTED IT! You literally posted this monumentally stupid mistake for us all to see. What a clown show.
What a disgrace. What theater.
Horseback running through kids soccer fields — says everything you need to know about the state of mind, the polluted heart of the President, and the polluted heart of Stephen Miller.
We will continue to protect our diverse communities — pushing back against this cruelty being pushed by the President of the United States.
@realTuckFrumper I would never listen to that POS, but I imagine it's like a 3 year old having a tantrum, flopping on the ground whining: "no, no, we gotta hate ALL the brown people, we gotta!" In front of a microphone.
Am I close?
Exactly. The Telecom Act of ‘96 was the kill shot.
Clinton handed the media over to corporate monopolies, and now six companies control 90% of what Americans see, hear, and believe.
You can’t talk propaganda without talking consolidation. This system wasn’t corrupted, it was engineered this way.
@allenanalysis To be clear, they did all of this BECAUSE THEY WERE LIED TO by the very wealthy people who benefit.
You don’t arrive here without repeal of the Fairness Doctrine (which gave rise to Fox News) and Citizens United which gave the Republicans Party an absolute fire hose of money.
Meanwhile, the rich wrote off private jets as business expenses.
They stashed fortunes overseas.
And laughed.
Because the same people starving under their policies were waving flags for them.
The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests.
They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.
Defended their yachts.
Backed their tax breaks.
And turned on anyone who tried to level the playing field.
When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.
The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.
They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.
Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.
And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.
