@J_Bizzles34@RockChartrand Healthcare costs money and every human needs it.. now sit the fuck down Jason people with brains will solve this problem for you, you lack the mental fitness.
@MetamateDaz Late stage capitalism, courtesy of Donald J Trump and his billionaire friends.
Saw it coming for years after Citizens United, but we finally entered the late game- uber rich building underground bunkers, blatantly insider trading, bribing, blackmailing, max extracting.
@jenNY_PHL@ThrillaRilla369@SGTWipper1Each 8 years of bush and now 8 years of trump in my voting life time.
Compare to 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden.
So for my entire voting life republicans have had more power than democrats.
Now explain to me why things are the way they are again???
@SamanthaaD45@ReyRey_Stacy@GadSaad A trumplican has never been "right" about anything. Just take a look around. Your "MAGA" chief is a pedophile who lost a new war he started against Iran with 100s of billions of your tax payer dollars.
He taxes you with tarrifs only to give the money back, but not to you.
@ksusze@ReyRey_Stacy@GadSaad They believe that in American culture you mean since we elect and leave a pedophile in the white house who was accused by a 13 yo girl of rape.
@SamanthaaD45@PeterFranks008@BlickyRicky911@ReyRey_Stacy@GadSaad They are essentially telling you women shouldn't be allowed to vote and you are essentially going along with it -- wake the fuck up Samantha and Grow Up. Many many women fought hard for the rights you enjoy today.
Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.
The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.
It had fewer than 50 employees.
And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.
Here is the part the administration tried to bury.
Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.
One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.
Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.
A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.
This is public money. Your money.
Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.
And there is more coming.
A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.
This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

We are now in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.
Let's play Monopoly with 10 people.
One person already owns 90% of the money and real estate and has access to borrow money from the bank whenever they want.
The other 9 people have to share the remaining 10%.
If you don't like it, you hate America and are a Communist.
You are not allowed to question it.
That is the current system.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, bailouts, legal protections, and trade barriers to survive? And when ordinary people ask for help, why is it suddenly called socialism?
One thing I will never understand is why people don’t want to tax billionaires more. They would still be billionaires actually. You’re not really taking anything from them, just what they’re hoarding. They’ve profited off everyone else, so shouldn’t they give back?
