@Scaramucci So the 8,000 people @Meta just laid off to be replaced by AI didn't lose their jobs to AI? Cool take, bro. Do you ever get tired of being wrong about everything?
@Scaramucci There's nothing racist about what they said. I seriously don't get how mooch is allowed to be a considered an expert in anything and have a podcast. Someone should check his track record, he's almost never right about anything.
@Ringo6@BernieILA@dccommonsense No it's not. It takes into account what people want to invest in because they think it will make money. It has absolutely no correlation to the economy at large. It's a gambling casino for the wealthy to guess at which companies will be most successful in the coming months.
@dalepartridge I get the sense you really don't like America, Dale. All you support opposes the fundamental principles of the Constitution and what the Revolution was fought and won for.
That's OK, not everyone has to like it. But please go elsewhere and stop trying to pervert our country.
This New York Times piece is worth your time. Hereโs what is happening, as simply as I can put it.
Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.
IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.
The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.
The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.
Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded โanti-weaponization fund.โย
Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.
The acting Attorney General, Trumpโs former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.
This is the most corrupt thing Iโve ever seen from an American president.
Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

@mhdksafa And this wasn't even his ๐คฌ money! He took away the benevolence the American people have always shown the world. I liked that some of my money went to help the world's poorest people. It's a whole lot better than it going to him through absurd govt contracts!
