"I am against private socialism of concentrated economic power as thoroughly as I am against government socialism."-FDR
Sick of the Corruption.
I LOVE FLORIDA
Donors connected to two hyperscale data center projects in Florida just gave a combined $135K to Byron Donalds, the top Republican candidate for governor.
The donors: Palm Beach Aggregates & Enrique Tomeu ("Project Tango" in Palm Beach County) and Fort Meade LLC (Polk County).
@SamRomain Yes Christian values absolutely align with the values of political grifters who degrade and ragebait black people and other fellow citizens for not believing exactly the same thing they do.
You are doing the lords work @SamRomain
A district attorney in Mississippi has resigned and pleaded guilty in a bribery case where he was soliciting at least $115,000 in bribes, and helping facilitate $80,000 to co-conspirators, which included the mayor of Jackson.
Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens held his position for 6.5 years. He got busted in an FBI sting where agents posed as real-estate developers seeking help with a proposed development.
So in other words, for well over half a decade in the most populated city and county in Mississippi, the Jackson mayor's office, AND the office that was deciding whether poor people end up in jail or not, were in the hands of criminals taking bribes for land development.
Following Owens' lead, former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba and former City Council President Aaron Banks both changed their pleas and pleaded guilty to conspiracy.
@mcuban In FL data center companies and utility companies rewrote the law to make sure all of the regulations they had to follow were slippery and vague.
Gov DeSantis just signed in law and at our FL PSC they are already saying they don’t have to force the companies to do anything.
Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

@dcfoofan@EchoesofWarYT Come on man
FDR was a dying man negotiating with Stalin while needing Soviet help to finish off Japan. Was it perfect? No. Did Churchill sign the same agreement? Yes. Funny how he doesn’t get the communist label.
His actions were standing up to the economic elite in the US
@dcfoofan@EchoesofWarYT Wrong. He is quoted saying he was the savior of capitalism because had he not put guard rails up the country would have slid into fascism or communism because the powerful had been so greedy.
@JenHeroldFL@florida_grand That’s true. Just like how Trump picked, with no public input, Donalds to be the next governor even though there are way better candidates (Casey)
