They’ll have to step over our corpses first. This nation won’t turn into a communist cesspit—not while we’re breathing, and not unless they claw our guns from our lifeless, unyielding grip.
The crime wasn't the whole family. Trump is the 35x FELON Sexual Deviant Insurrectionist, Fake Elector Leader of 18 FAKE ELECTORS 😂..Hiding the top-secret FILES all over Maralago & flood the pool tech room is a freaking Hollywood movie 🎥..Trump is a complete SHAM CULT INCOMPETENT LURCH PARTY AGENDAS BITCOIN WORTH zero but makes Billions on it. CROOK 🪝 FELON. LET'S THE CROKKS OUT OF PRISON & FREAKS OUT OVER WORKING IMMIGRANTS & REMOVING ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE FROM GOVERNMENT WEBSITES
ITS SICKENING MAN.
ARE YOU AMERICAN OR NAZI!? YOU AN AUTOCRATIC OLIGARCHY HYPOCRISY FULL TILT BS CRACKER HEADS!!!!
The crime family is the one that’s currently in office. You admire them because they’re committing crimes that you think are being committed on your behalf. You don’t care about the rule of law. You care about the rule of you. This is why people like you worship guns. but, in the end, it is people like you that end up destroying societies. If history teaches us anything, it is that societies are not destroyed from without without until they’re destroyed from within. And, all too often, that destruction comes when one segment of society decides that it is, in the words of George Orwell, more equal than everyone else.
"Cancel culture" yet who are the people who are imprisoning protestors without trial? Who are the people doing Nazi salutes on national television while using the same rhetoric against immigrants that Nazis used in the 30s and 40s?
I do love all the boohoos from the crybabies who WON and got their guy back in office, btw.. and are still angry and threatened to the point they can’t say two sentences in sequence without blaming the “dems” or the “ leftists” or” libs” for every damn thing… when truly, and you know it, your panties are in a knot because you’re not as smart as you wish you were, as rich as you thought you would be, nor are you able to control a teensy little bit of the world you’re stuck in.
You’re miserable because YOU CHOOSE IT. It’s not anyone else’s ideology that makes you a knee pad wearing eunuch for a name calling blathering xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, criminal sycophant .. it’s perpetual anger and fear and some bully in elementary school or embarassing sexual rejection in your past that you want to try to compensate for that makes you this way.
Plus you have absolutely no identity of your own and can’t remember who you are anyway.
All day yesterday “ oh those violent libtard protesters” blah blah blah forgetting that it wasn’t so long ago that YOUR SIDE showed up in Charlottesville with torches chanting “ Jews will not replace us” and driving muscle cars into the crowd to KILL your fellow Americans.
Please try to understand through your fog of self loathing and entitlement … that peaceful and productive members of our communities are being herded into foreign detention centers with no due process and even if you don’t care about those people, it’s an unamerican unconstitutional action on its very face. And if that doesn’t matter or you either, that’s fine. But pay attention : it’s an economically irresponsible act any clever fifth grader could have figured out on their own … you undermine the labor pool and doors of businesses we rely on CLOSE. AND … we. Don’t. Eat.
You’ve backed a moron with no actual strategy except to hate other people and see how much power he can wield in stubby little hands.
And now he’s going to bury us all if we don’t shut his overstepping authoritarian ass DOWN.
READ a textbook some day. You would know he’s just following the step by instruction manual for “ how to through a coup”
P. S. People who are heard by the representative government in a state of decorum have no desire nor need to take to the streets and scream and throw rocks en masse.
Donald Trump is the immediate problem. And his rabid misguided trumpanzees who think he will EVER do anything for our country
Conservatives don’t protest… but their nasty little boogaloo boi white nationalist cousins do. And yes I know what Charlottesville was about, and I’m awfully sorry if you’re directly descended from a Confederate “hero”, but I don’t see you up in arms about Trump removing all references to people of color and women from the national museum - you only care about preserving the history of the white slave owners perhaps. In any case. Now that you’re clear that I know that the Charlottesville protest was about removing Confederate statues from public spaces: now it’s your turn: you tell me then, what was the torch bearing gathering of black and yellow polo shirt wearing, Caucasian young males, “evening rally” about then? Because those “ nice people on both sides” were chanting “Jews will not replace us “. And those ARE Trumps soldiers and it is Russ Voughts battle strategy.
You can pretend to be very intellectually superior if you like , but you are promoting a propagandist view of EVERYTHING you have spoken about in this thread.
But I haven’t heard one compelling comment from you about the constitution, the American people, or Jesus Christ. So if you are the soft sell from the Vought organization, you’ve failed.
Independent contractor here.. ExReaganRepublican when GOP was Conservative, 🚫 NOT craZy AF!!! TRUMP was a DEMOCRAT all his life until Hilary . 😂 His buddy. Party buddies the Clintons !!!

Eat shit 💩 MAGA you're going to LOSE MIDTERMS obviously 😂😂😂😂😂😂. FEARFUL IDIOCRACY MAGA NUTS CULT
That's not the working definition of either of those things. The first thing that fascists do once power is consolidated is they deconstruct democratic governmental oversight and replace the levers of power with their own. The purpose of that is to help private capital crush the proletarian labor force. What do you think happens when liberal capitalism strips institutional power? Do you think the corporations end up paying their workers more, making things cheaper, being more fair in their business, exploit the environment less, make work safer and exerting less power over workers when govt protections and regulations are dismantled? Fuck no, obviously. Fascism is the next necessary step for the elites once capitalism fails. The only solution to this contradiction is the people overthrowing them through class war.
Presidente EL CRAPPY TAN. He is dismantling the federal gvmt and removing power from the judiciary and electeds EXACTLY ACCORDING TO THE PLAN. But first. Before he spends another slew of our tax money on a UFC White House kickboxing facility or to bail out one of the multiple third world shitholes he plans to extract resources from and build sub par detention facilities in for misdemeanor criminal immigrants ( or the dark skinned who accidentally get caught up in the COUNTRY WIDE PSYCHO human being net only intended for people WHO APPEAR TO BE OF FOREIGN DESCENT…
Naw. That’s not RACIST NAZI BULLSHIT. If you’re a Nazi Racist.
The guy who is commandeering the national guard and the largest policing force in history - ICE - into an army to be used in American cities against the will of the governors of the states is the authoritarian. The guy who is trying to destroy all of the checks and balances in our system to give himself and himself only the power to decide and rule is the fascist, the guy who is having people who are not guilty of any crime but merely a civil violation incarcerated in shitholes in foreign lands without due process is the facist dictator .
The guy who let his wealthy buddy access and manipulate our data and our governmental agencies, to fire competent personnel, and create for himself billions in new government contracts is the tyrant.
The guy who pardoned insurrectionists who brutalized and killed law enforcement on Jan 6th is the dictator.
These checks of the executive branch are explicitly addressed in the constitution and our presidents actions are described as an act of tyranny by our founding father, Madison himself.
Any time you ask the people to exchange their freedoms for an illusion of safety, they will get neither.
I think you’re actually talking about, on the one hand, the current president who is exploding the federal deficit versus the previous president who launched the life-saving vaccine program that scared his processor nearly to death.
Biden launched nothing except poop into his Depends.
President Trump arranged the distribution of the vaccines, using our military, before he left office. All Biden did was execute the distribution plan the Trump administration developed.
President Trump says he would not have forced anyone to get the vaccines, which is the correct thing to do.
The national debt exploded in 2020 & 2021 because Democrats filled the unnecessary relief bills with $5 trillion more than was needed.
The national debt started to explode under Obama, who took it from $7 trillion to $14 trillion. In terms of % increase, Obama has the record & what did we get for it? Obama had the slowest recovery from a recession of any President in US history. It took 6 years for the DOW to regain its pre-2008 crash level.
This comment section has more delusional commenters than even Bluesky!
Brother, Trump was President in 2020, that spending happened under his Presidency. Trump cut taxes for corporations causing the debt to explode exponentially. National debt is not a problem, the problem is wasting it on military hegemony rather than helping us. If you're going to be wrong, don't be so confident about it.
The only President launching poop is the current one. And it is not “correct” to tell people that it’s OK to infect people with a deadly virus, which nullified anything he may have done to help create the vaccine. Trump has blood on his hands, and will have more of it before his term is over. Meanwhile, Biden restarted the economy while reducing the deficit.
Go back to talking to yourself while surfing Internet porn. You’re the only one who’ll believe you.
It may surprise you to know that, for a great many people, that proposal is acceptable. I'm not one of them. The only real way has already been found in Western Europe, where the economies are balanced between individual need and social justice. If you cannot adapt to this view, your fate is sealed.
You really don't understand the two concepts, in an equal system you would expect equal results on average, but you don't get that in America which is theoretically equal. The reason for that is the obvious historical effects of segregation, slavery and on going racism. You cannot remedy this with equal opportunity since the structure itself has not changed. The term equity seeks to fix that disparity in the fairest way possible. Let me remind you- assuming youre white based on your cookie cutter Fox News NBA example- you are not oppressed based on your race. You may be oppressed on other basses like a worker who doesn't own capital for example. And I suggest not to spawn statistics about the soviet union out of thin air, you look silly.
According to your view of social justice, slavery is a form of social justice. For centuries, Africans were kidnapped from their homes, brought to the United States, treated as property, created tremendous economic value for the kidnappers, and were lucky if they weren’t killed in the process. Is that what you would call equality of opportunity? The slaves put more equity into the lives of the slave owners than the slave owners could’ve done themselves, yet were not compensated for the economic value they created.
In any case, the idea of everyone being given the same salary is a completely bogus argument that’s only advanced in a desperate effort to ensure that a handful of people benefit from their humanity to the rest of us. No one, and I mean no one, including me, is arguing for that. My point is and was that the most successful society are the ones that find ways to meet the needs of individuals and the needs of society as a whole. Prove me wrong. With facts. Something with which I’m not entirely sure you’re familiar. But I guess there’s always help.
You have lost your mind. How does equal opportunity justify slavery. Slavery is not equal opportunity.
Also, social justice is not the meeting of individual needs & the needs of society.
Social justice, as practiced here in the US, is the punishing of one group to make another group have more.
Sweden taxes everyone a lot & provides a lot of social benefits. We could do that here & the Democrats push for that. However, Democrats don’t advocate for high taxes & lots of social perks because of equality or even equity… they are buying votes with taxpayer dollars. They have been promising “free” college & “free” healthcare, to be paid for “by the rich.” “Vote of us & get all this free stuff.” Well, it doesn’t work that way. EVERYONE would have to pay 60-70% of their income in taxes to pay for crappier college (because if everyone could go for “free” there would be 300 students per teacher) and crappier healthcare (because it would be rationed, as it is in Canada, Sweden, UK, & every other country with single-payer). When you poll Canadians or Swedes whether they like their healthcare the polls say “90% love it.” Yes, the 80% of healthy Canadians & the ones lucky enough to get a pediatrician for their kids love it. The 20% with medical problems (& have to wait months for an MRI or years for a knee replacement) *hate* it. The average of the poll looks great. When your child is born in Canada, you enter their name in a lottery & most get a pediatrician… many don’t get one for months & some longer than that.
My family is Canadian. I don’t need polls. I know they have accessible and state of the art, free health care services at their disposal. So let’s set that aside and discuss how a comment about communism morphed into you feeling somehow slighted by the idea of social justice? The two are not even almost equivalent.
Also, it’s sort of the goal of evolved human civilization to end hunger and suffering, generally speaking, and most decent human beings who have enough to eat and some in reserve would likely hand a starving kid a sandwich of their own volition.
But that’s somehow become the .. what did you say? The “justification for slavery? “ “The punishing of one group to make another group have more”?
Maybe I’m confused. That’s not what social justice OR communism OR socialism does. It is, however, EXACTLY what capitalism produces. Next time you see a homeless veteran, or a single mom working her third shift at McDonalds think about how much more than them someone like Donald Trump or Elon Musk HAS, how they got it, who did the actual work involved ( and whether they even got paid at all for it), and what they seem perfectly willing to do to keep it and get more of it RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
I may have misunderstood your point. I really hope I did. Because it’s absolutely insane to me that anyone would think Social Justice has anything to do with enslaving anyone. It’s batshit crazy to me to think that a wealthy American who has everything they need would be opposed to contributing to an economy and culture that helps ensure that people in their communities, their kids schools, their neighborhoods, stores, malls, gas stations, churches - the places they eat live work and play- are healthy and educated. No successful individual in the United States should WANT TO KEEP the mere pennies on each dollar beyond their actual needs and dreams and luxuries- when so little a percentage in taxation could be used to make sure the people in their neighborhood don’t have to sleep in filth on the streets because they couldn’t get an education or a job, are denied the PRIVILEGE of medical assistance, and are left to shit in bushes in our backyards.
And your argument does not convince me that opposing Social Justice because you, too, are struggling is not a logical, defensible viewpoint so much as an emotional reaction. To be among the wealthy elite and be able to improve the lives of people in your very midst yet choose to do otherwise because helping is somehow offensive to their political narrative is sick fucking thinking.
And still has zero connection the original post about communism.
Yet he has spent much of his wealth working to bring good to humanity. You cannot say that about other extremely wealthy individuals. Plus he has paid more in taxes than any other US citizen
What good did he bring? And, sorry what taxes did he pay because last time I checked his two largest businesses are literally built and still function primarily off of government subsidies. Your taxes are literally going to support his vanity projects.
Is it fair to lump Musk into the same category as Zuckerberg, when it is his #OpenSource Tesla ventures that are propelling us closest to mankind’s opportunity for what Tony Seba calls #StellarENERGY?

Elon isn't that intelligent or interesting TBH. He's a PROLIFIC narcissistic gaslighter blowhard DBL down TRAITOR TRAIN WHO thinks he's IT. Well he's not IT. He's just disgusting and UnAmerican Underbelly Swamp. Selfish. Conflicted. Rude. Has zero compassion..so I could careless wtf he's doing with cars, rockets and anything else... satellite 🛰️📡🛰️. IDC. He's a loser to me. 👁️
Ok so contracts are absolutely a form of subsidy. SpaceX is pretty much entirely funded by contracts. Starlink is directly funded through certain agencies like the FCC off the top of my head. Tesla get the most in the form of contracts, tax breaks, and tax credits. Those credits are literally what made his company possible in the first place; other car manufacturers paid Tesla for regulatory credits since they're all electric and their customers get upwards of 15-20% off the top of the vehicle price because of the tax rebate. For this reason, there's pretty much no way you can say that his businesses are NET paying taxes.
The risk for Musk investing is going from a billionaire to a multi-millionaire, to me, someone who works for a living, that's not a risk. For me, the hard part is not understanding how the businesses work that part is very easy, it's showing people that 'innovators' like Musk are not the backbone of the company, it's the workers and the engineers who made it happen.
So??? Does that make up for his insidious poisonous agendas on the US Government Departments & some webpages??!! You're gaslighting for him. It's ridiculous.
This is so far off’! How did this man get to speak on this topic? Way off way wrong and completely delusional. Someone needs to wake this poor man up! He needs a good teaching!
His views are very dangerous and typical of the left. Globalists. They want to destroy our country, our way of life, our freedoms. I have never felt the need to amass extreme wealth". I don't mind people who have worked hard for their money to become extremely wealthy. If they choose to hoard it that's on them and their conscience. I am a big supporter of those that use their wealth to better society like Elon Musk. On the other hand people like Soros that stays in the shadows causing chaos in this and other countries that is absolutely unacceptable and should be banned from anything that affects our country.
To many Conspiracy THEORIES on Soros period!!! I think you dram to much Cult Kool Aid.

Scott Galloway is not the person that you go to for this nonsense. He’s been proven wrong so many times in economics. It’s unreal. If he was really up for debate, he would’ve not tucked his tail and ran off of X because he could not take the criticism. Much like people on the left he wants an audience that’s only filled with people that agree with them. And you wonder why the Democrat party is seen in such unfavorable polling. The pessimism and not taking any responsibility has given the Democrats a 21% approval among the electorate.
I find it sad that the Right accuses the Left of the very thing the Right does. The Right needs to get out of the Fox/Newsmax/Joe Rogan bubble and listen to both sides and think critically. Before your Right brain explodes all over your keyboards I do read and watch media from both sides of the aisle and it’s obvious that the conservative media are mouthpieces for the Trump regime.
I watch from both sides of the isle and even more so, new media. I find the main stream media, msnbc, cnn, nbc, bbc, , etc. Yes even Fox speaks lies at times. As far as Fox being the mouth piece for President Trump. It is good that one news station is fair and balanced towards his administration. All the other are openly vehemently in opposition of EVERYTHING. They genuinely hate him so much they push lies and when called out they never acknowledge it. They just move the goal posts over again and again not realizing most Americans see exactly what they are doing. The rest of Americans are like sheep easily lead by the msn.
Fox News is an entertainment network, they don't do news. I'm not going to convince you but I just want you to know that it is capital P Propaganda when they're excusing disappearing innocent green card holders. You enjoy the spectacle of what they're saying that's why you watch. It's pop politics not factual reporting and analysis. They know you'd rather watch The Five rant about whatever nonsense to rile you up more than factual news coverage. You don't live in a movie. I hope one day you're able to deprogram.
I rather be Trumps mouthpiece than be Kamala Harris' mouthpiece. Trump may not be doing everything according to my personal advocacies, but he is trying to make some significant and positive changes... I fled from the Democratic party; they have gone way too Marxist (authoritarian) for me. I don't support the woke culture--none of it, and I don't support destroying our country or the dollar; that is, if it's not already too late to save it.
I also don't support the central bank digital currency-- aka CBDC--or being controlled and surveilled any more than we have been since Obama's administration. And I definitely do not support wars. All this would have increased on steroids if Kamala Harris would've won. She's an ambitious, lazy slut, and socio-political climber!
Of course, we still need time to see how things materialize under Trump! But I do proudly support him while consciously being aware of the fact that he could, potentially, fail or let us down in the end. Yes, these are high stakes but worthwhile to me. It's a nasty and cruel world he's operating in -- just like real estate, the industry where Trump built his name before embarking on a career in the political industry.
I also support Vance, RFK Jr, and Tulsi Gabbard, especially the latter two. Some good health policies, right now, are being advocated and pushed by Kennedy. That said, it will be rough. He's dealing with powerful and dangerous agencies- such as, the FDA, CDC, Big Pharma, WHO, and global elitists (e.g. WEF) who are funding these agencies and want to create a one-world- order while promoting transhumanism. You can also add to this list, the corrupt war-mongering politicians who want to keep receiving the profits and other gains that wars and corruption bring them--clearly, there's an overlap here.
All said, you must keep in mind these are neither blue nor red attributes---they're coming from both political parties. But remember, Trump is not a traditional politician. He's seen as an outsider, and that's why he's such a threat to the deep state and the corrupt establishment.
BTW: I'm not into crony or oligarch capitalism and not into monopolies... I believe in regulations. Man doesn't have to be greedy... but many with power either are or become so.... Our capitalism system has gone unchecked and been corrupt for too long, and that's the problem. It's not capitalism in itself that is the problem--it's how it is practiced by those in power. What we have been experiencing for decades is unchecked greed.
Also, wasn't Stalin also known for murdering his own citizens? However, the US gov doesn't have any problem killing or targeting its own people either, as we've witnessed in the last 6 years, and still witnessing. The internet has allowed us to see all this and that is why now it is being clamped down and censored ship has been on the rise.
goodness!! That's why he's such a threat to the deep state and the establishment.
Partially, but not completely accurate! No surprise here. This is what happens when the Left has an opinion that they want everyone to believe. They attack themselves and then the Right, implying that they act EQUALLY to harm this nation. Elon began supporting the Right SLOWLY because he saw so many NEGATIVE things happening on the LEFT. It took quite a bit of time for it to happen. Zuck took no time at all to switch sides, self-serving AFTER Trump's win! lol They did not act the same.... Elon could have gotten just as much or More government MONEY from the Left. He knew it yet he went with the Right because it was the RIGHT thing to do. They are not the same. Have you seen Zuck losing any money being attacked by the Left? Nope, me either. lol
One fundamental truth is that wealth serves wealth and wealth uses those no so wealth like pawns. The people must rise up and fight the lies, fight the propaganda, and follow a democratic socialist progressive reform agenda. A capitalist economic system can stay but laws must be changed to quash reactionary movements by amoral leviathans, fairly allocate and share community assets. Elections must always be fair and objective. Leaders must put the people first not stuffing their own larder.
I'd argue that democratic socialist reform is the least we should strive for. The profit structure of capitalism needlessly creates hierarchy and thus the immoral system that we live under. Reactionary belief naturally comes out of this survival-of-the-fittest mode of production. We don't need hierarchy to rule over us, we can work toward a better society where we share power equally.
We the People have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Not given to us by men but the free will and enterprise given to us by God. This whole thing seems to be about men fighting to control men. Limits, forced servitude, equity disguised as the word equality. It's all a lie and forced illusion to the sheep to pick a side that are both missing the mark. Imho
These people complaining here appear to have no clue of what right and wrong is. Nor any idea what American democracy as is spelled out in our constitution is or how it works. Talking heads. No real experience.
They refuse to look in the mirror. Look at biden baldy who opened our doors to the world on OUR dime. This plus a gazillion other things. Leaving BILLIONS dollars in milatary equipment in enemy territory?? PLUS AMERICANs??? Get the F out of here with this BS
”While his sentiment is correct, it’s essential to add that this is not just a problem with the tax system, although in an isolated sense it is broken, it’s a problem with capitalism as a whole, where buying the government is an inherent incentive of the wealthy to gain more wealth. “
Capitalism by definition is the voluntary exchange of goods and services for an agreed upon price between two parties. Introducing government influence for incentive is no different essentially than armed robbery. This not not Capitalism but Cronyism.
In a truly Capitalist society it would not be possible for anyone to become this obscenely rich because there will always be competition.
It’s easy to point to greed as a reason to socialize the means of production - as if socialism somehow cures human nature from this ugly temptation. On the contrary, Socialism institutionalizes greed, and it’s not much different from cronyism since it still robs people from the fruits of their labor at gunpoint.
I find it sad that even in America this distinction still eludes general understanding.
Who are the Russian Oligarchs? They are the Communist commissars of yesterday. Big government is the problem not the solution. Big government leads to monopolies and oligarchy.
No, capitalism left to its own devices will naturally monopolize and form an oligarchy. That's exactly what happened when the government has stopped doing anti-trust enforcement over the last 30+ years. Capitalism is inherently about infinite consumption in a finite world; it's unsustainable. When it begins to collapse it leads to what is happening now– coagulation of government and corporations.
The government isn't "big" or "small" there's no such thing. It either works for the people or it doesn't.
The Russian oligarchs today are not communists by any fathomable stretch. They're capitalists who began to strip the USSR government of power beginning in the 80s, privatizing and liberalizing the nation until Gorbachev ended everything.
When you don't control capitalism and put it on a leash like China does, it consumes your country and its people and enslaves them.
Effective systems need purpose, goals, measures of input and output and controls, feedback, assessment and improvement. The people here never signed up for an authoritarian system run by criminals and their accolites to take more wealth and property from the working people than they return in value. That's the sham, and yes it is ugly. We work to improve the system for all or we digress to a brutal existence.
What the hecak? Calling the president a rapist is so wrong. It makes everything else you say untrustworthy. Your words shall ever remain blowing in the wind.
Donald Trump was found civilly liable for the rape of E Jean Carroll in 2023, that is a fact.
Donald Trump was in the Epstein files along with many pictures of the two together. He was quoted in 2002 regarding Epstein, “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Oh, come on... that's not why you don't like Trump. It just sounds good to those who have TDS. Biden is a PERVERT and has allowed the child SEX trafficking industry to increase on steroids. So, you don't like Trump-- your prerogative. But provide some intelligent reasons as to why your critical thinking doesn't work for you anymore.
Trump lacks respect for others and just about every word out of his mouth is a lie. We need better leaders to protect our rights under our constitution and bill of rights.
Well to me he is much better than Kamala. It's true that he is not living up to all he said he would but still better than the alternative: woke Marxist Kamala.
23 women have accused Trump. One conviction. Christians who support him are hypocrites. He paid off a porn star to keep quiet that he slept with her WHILE married. He has slept with the wives of his friends for entertainment. He has committed so many sins in one lifetime it’s unbelievable. See Trumpfile.org
It’s about being American before party— if you believe in justice and truth, do the reading on all sides.
In a better world the courts would have insisted all of the outstanding legal matters were allowed to run their course before his name was ever put on a ballot.
Sorry to disappoint I am not a fan of any mainstream media for obvious reason that instead of news/investigative journalism people are fed opinion and political propaganda
If one defines "money grab" as theivery of public assets for personal benefit with inadequate or no value exchanged (time or substance) in official capacity I would have to disagree with your determination. It seems to me Trump is way ahead of Biden in corrupt misuse of public office for personal consumption beyond his legitimate compensation. He has already been tried and found guilty of fraud in legitimate courts of law and other pending cases were delayed making a mockery of timely justice for the people. Have you ever listened to him speak? He is a poor actor who constantly presents outright lies and propaganda. No one in his party has the moral fiber to challenge this bad behavior, which is their duty. The American public is being victimized by his behavior and the lack of intercession by his party.
They’ll have to step over our corpses first. This nation won’t turn into a communist cesspit—not while we’re breathing, and not unless they claw our guns from our lifeless, unyielding grip.
Interesting how MAGA gun nut losers never take up arms against the Nazis taking over the government...
That’s because we voted the Biden crime family out of office no need to.
The crime wasn't the whole family.

EXGOP HERE ✔️✅✔️✅✔️✔️✅✔️✅✔️✅✔️
Seek mental health assistance immediately before you hurt yourself or someone much more important than you.
You're a complete moron 😂
Put calling kettle black much.
The crime family is the one that’s currently in office. You admire them because they’re committing crimes that you think are being committed on your behalf. You don’t care about the rule of law. You care about the rule of you. This is why people like you worship guns. but, in the end, it is people like you that end up destroying societies. If history teaches us anything, it is that societies are not destroyed from without without until they’re destroyed from within. And, all too often, that destruction comes when one segment of society decides that it is, in the words of George Orwell, more equal than everyone else.
The people screaming about the Nazis are actually the REAL Nazis.
Progressive left hypocrisy is insane. Decrying ‘fascists’ while pushing cancel culture and thought police tactics. Zero self-awareness.
"Cancel culture" yet who are the people who are imprisoning protestors without trial? Who are the people doing Nazi salutes on national television while using the same rhetoric against immigrants that Nazis used in the 30s and 40s?
Like you say- zero self awareness
Fast forward to Democrats using the same motions but then is ok. Sr Cory Booker & Nancy Pelosi in the last few days?
I do love all the boohoos from the crybabies who WON and got their guy back in office, btw.. and are still angry and threatened to the point they can’t say two sentences in sequence without blaming the “dems” or the “ leftists” or” libs” for every damn thing… when truly, and you know it, your panties are in a knot because you’re not as smart as you wish you were, as rich as you thought you would be, nor are you able to control a teensy little bit of the world you’re stuck in.
You’re miserable because YOU CHOOSE IT. It’s not anyone else’s ideology that makes you a knee pad wearing eunuch for a name calling blathering xenophobic, homophobic, misogynistic, criminal sycophant .. it’s perpetual anger and fear and some bully in elementary school or embarassing sexual rejection in your past that you want to try to compensate for that makes you this way.
Plus you have absolutely no identity of your own and can’t remember who you are anyway.
All day yesterday “ oh those violent libtard protesters” blah blah blah forgetting that it wasn’t so long ago that YOUR SIDE showed up in Charlottesville with torches chanting “ Jews will not replace us” and driving muscle cars into the crowd to KILL your fellow Americans.
Please try to understand through your fog of self loathing and entitlement … that peaceful and productive members of our communities are being herded into foreign detention centers with no due process and even if you don’t care about those people, it’s an unamerican unconstitutional action on its very face. And if that doesn’t matter or you either, that’s fine. But pay attention : it’s an economically irresponsible act any clever fifth grader could have figured out on their own … you undermine the labor pool and doors of businesses we rely on CLOSE. AND … we. Don’t. Eat.
You’ve backed a moron with no actual strategy except to hate other people and see how much power he can wield in stubby little hands.
And now he’s going to bury us all if we don’t shut his overstepping authoritarian ass DOWN.
READ a textbook some day. You would know he’s just following the step by instruction manual for “ how to through a coup”
P. S. People who are heard by the representative government in a state of decorum have no desire nor need to take to the streets and scream and throw rocks en masse.
Donald Trump is the immediate problem. And his rabid misguided trumpanzees who think he will EVER do anything for our country
"There have been studies done that found conservatives are far happier than liberals."
Because they're too dull to know how depressing the world is outside their house.
But you're not a good example because clearly you're a miserable Fox News watcher.
Conservatives don’t protest… but their nasty little boogaloo boi white nationalist cousins do. And yes I know what Charlottesville was about, and I’m awfully sorry if you’re directly descended from a Confederate “hero”, but I don’t see you up in arms about Trump removing all references to people of color and women from the national museum - you only care about preserving the history of the white slave owners perhaps. In any case. Now that you’re clear that I know that the Charlottesville protest was about removing Confederate statues from public spaces: now it’s your turn: you tell me then, what was the torch bearing gathering of black and yellow polo shirt wearing, Caucasian young males, “evening rally” about then? Because those “ nice people on both sides” were chanting “Jews will not replace us “. And those ARE Trumps soldiers and it is Russ Voughts battle strategy.
You can pretend to be very intellectually superior if you like , but you are promoting a propagandist view of EVERYTHING you have spoken about in this thread.
But I haven’t heard one compelling comment from you about the constitution, the American people, or Jesus Christ. So if you are the soft sell from the Vought organization, you’ve failed.

Vaccinating people for the benefit of public health and 'banning' gas stoves for the critical environmental benefit is fascism? Grow up
That's not the working definition of either of those things. The first thing that fascists do once power is consolidated is they deconstruct democratic governmental oversight and replace the levers of power with their own. The purpose of that is to help private capital crush the proletarian labor force. What do you think happens when liberal capitalism strips institutional power? Do you think the corporations end up paying their workers more, making things cheaper, being more fair in their business, exploit the environment less, make work safer and exerting less power over workers when govt protections and regulations are dismantled? Fuck no, obviously. Fascism is the next necessary step for the elites once capitalism fails. The only solution to this contradiction is the people overthrowing them through class war.
The majority of electricity in the US grid is natural gas, not coal, please do one iota of googling before looking like a clown.
You know ..
Presidente EL CRAPPY TAN. He is dismantling the federal gvmt and removing power from the judiciary and electeds EXACTLY ACCORDING TO THE PLAN. But first. Before he spends another slew of our tax money on a UFC White House kickboxing facility or to bail out one of the multiple third world shitholes he plans to extract resources from and build sub par detention facilities in for misdemeanor criminal immigrants ( or the dark skinned who accidentally get caught up in the COUNTRY WIDE PSYCHO human being net only intended for people WHO APPEAR TO BE OF FOREIGN DESCENT…
Naw. That’s not RACIST NAZI BULLSHIT. If you’re a Nazi Racist.
Well I did need a nap but you don’t have to be a dick about it! 😂
The guy who is commandeering the national guard and the largest policing force in history - ICE - into an army to be used in American cities against the will of the governors of the states is the authoritarian. The guy who is trying to destroy all of the checks and balances in our system to give himself and himself only the power to decide and rule is the fascist, the guy who is having people who are not guilty of any crime but merely a civil violation incarcerated in shitholes in foreign lands without due process is the facist dictator .
The guy who let his wealthy buddy access and manipulate our data and our governmental agencies, to fire competent personnel, and create for himself billions in new government contracts is the tyrant.
The guy who pardoned insurrectionists who brutalized and killed law enforcement on Jan 6th is the dictator.
These checks of the executive branch are explicitly addressed in the constitution and our presidents actions are described as an act of tyranny by our founding father, Madison himself.
Any time you ask the people to exchange their freedoms for an illusion of safety, they will get neither.
I think you’re actually talking about, on the one hand, the current president who is exploding the federal deficit versus the previous president who launched the life-saving vaccine program that scared his processor nearly to death.
Biden launched nothing except poop into his Depends.
President Trump arranged the distribution of the vaccines, using our military, before he left office. All Biden did was execute the distribution plan the Trump administration developed.
President Trump says he would not have forced anyone to get the vaccines, which is the correct thing to do.
The national debt exploded in 2020 & 2021 because Democrats filled the unnecessary relief bills with $5 trillion more than was needed.
The national debt started to explode under Obama, who took it from $7 trillion to $14 trillion. In terms of % increase, Obama has the record & what did we get for it? Obama had the slowest recovery from a recession of any President in US history. It took 6 years for the DOW to regain its pre-2008 crash level.
This comment section has more delusional commenters than even Bluesky!
Brother, Trump was President in 2020, that spending happened under his Presidency. Trump cut taxes for corporations causing the debt to explode exponentially. National debt is not a problem, the problem is wasting it on military hegemony rather than helping us. If you're going to be wrong, don't be so confident about it.
The only President launching poop is the current one. And it is not “correct” to tell people that it’s OK to infect people with a deadly virus, which nullified anything he may have done to help create the vaccine. Trump has blood on his hands, and will have more of it before his term is over. Meanwhile, Biden restarted the economy while reducing the deficit.
Go back to talking to yourself while surfing Internet porn. You’re the only one who’ll believe you.
Boom 💥
Seriously, no one who understands communism wants it. Including the communists.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Don’t get out much?
Exactly 💯.
It may surprise you to know that, for a great many people, that proposal is acceptable. I'm not one of them. The only real way has already been found in Western Europe, where the economies are balanced between individual need and social justice. If you cannot adapt to this view, your fate is sealed.
You really don't understand the two concepts, in an equal system you would expect equal results on average, but you don't get that in America which is theoretically equal. The reason for that is the obvious historical effects of segregation, slavery and on going racism. You cannot remedy this with equal opportunity since the structure itself has not changed. The term equity seeks to fix that disparity in the fairest way possible. Let me remind you- assuming youre white based on your cookie cutter Fox News NBA example- you are not oppressed based on your race. You may be oppressed on other basses like a worker who doesn't own capital for example. And I suggest not to spawn statistics about the soviet union out of thin air, you look silly.
According to your view of social justice, slavery is a form of social justice. For centuries, Africans were kidnapped from their homes, brought to the United States, treated as property, created tremendous economic value for the kidnappers, and were lucky if they weren’t killed in the process. Is that what you would call equality of opportunity? The slaves put more equity into the lives of the slave owners than the slave owners could’ve done themselves, yet were not compensated for the economic value they created.
In any case, the idea of everyone being given the same salary is a completely bogus argument that’s only advanced in a desperate effort to ensure that a handful of people benefit from their humanity to the rest of us. No one, and I mean no one, including me, is arguing for that. My point is and was that the most successful society are the ones that find ways to meet the needs of individuals and the needs of society as a whole. Prove me wrong. With facts. Something with which I’m not entirely sure you’re familiar. But I guess there’s always help.
Sounds like fun!
You have lost your mind. How does equal opportunity justify slavery. Slavery is not equal opportunity.
Also, social justice is not the meeting of individual needs & the needs of society.
Social justice, as practiced here in the US, is the punishing of one group to make another group have more.
Sweden taxes everyone a lot & provides a lot of social benefits. We could do that here & the Democrats push for that. However, Democrats don’t advocate for high taxes & lots of social perks because of equality or even equity… they are buying votes with taxpayer dollars. They have been promising “free” college & “free” healthcare, to be paid for “by the rich.” “Vote of us & get all this free stuff.” Well, it doesn’t work that way. EVERYONE would have to pay 60-70% of their income in taxes to pay for crappier college (because if everyone could go for “free” there would be 300 students per teacher) and crappier healthcare (because it would be rationed, as it is in Canada, Sweden, UK, & every other country with single-payer). When you poll Canadians or Swedes whether they like their healthcare the polls say “90% love it.” Yes, the 80% of healthy Canadians & the ones lucky enough to get a pediatrician for their kids love it. The 20% with medical problems (& have to wait months for an MRI or years for a knee replacement) *hate* it. The average of the poll looks great. When your child is born in Canada, you enter their name in a lottery & most get a pediatrician… many don’t get one for months & some longer than that.
My family is Canadian. I don’t need polls. I know they have accessible and state of the art, free health care services at their disposal. So let’s set that aside and discuss how a comment about communism morphed into you feeling somehow slighted by the idea of social justice? The two are not even almost equivalent.
Also, it’s sort of the goal of evolved human civilization to end hunger and suffering, generally speaking, and most decent human beings who have enough to eat and some in reserve would likely hand a starving kid a sandwich of their own volition.
But that’s somehow become the .. what did you say? The “justification for slavery? “ “The punishing of one group to make another group have more”?
Maybe I’m confused. That’s not what social justice OR communism OR socialism does. It is, however, EXACTLY what capitalism produces. Next time you see a homeless veteran, or a single mom working her third shift at McDonalds think about how much more than them someone like Donald Trump or Elon Musk HAS, how they got it, who did the actual work involved ( and whether they even got paid at all for it), and what they seem perfectly willing to do to keep it and get more of it RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
I may have misunderstood your point. I really hope I did. Because it’s absolutely insane to me that anyone would think Social Justice has anything to do with enslaving anyone. It’s batshit crazy to me to think that a wealthy American who has everything they need would be opposed to contributing to an economy and culture that helps ensure that people in their communities, their kids schools, their neighborhoods, stores, malls, gas stations, churches - the places they eat live work and play- are healthy and educated. No successful individual in the United States should WANT TO KEEP the mere pennies on each dollar beyond their actual needs and dreams and luxuries- when so little a percentage in taxation could be used to make sure the people in their neighborhood don’t have to sleep in filth on the streets because they couldn’t get an education or a job, are denied the PRIVILEGE of medical assistance, and are left to shit in bushes in our backyards.
And your argument does not convince me that opposing Social Justice because you, too, are struggling is not a logical, defensible viewpoint so much as an emotional reaction. To be among the wealthy elite and be able to improve the lives of people in your very midst yet choose to do otherwise because helping is somehow offensive to their political narrative is sick fucking thinking.
And still has zero connection the original post about communism.
Elon Musk, is he an unadulterated kleptocratic oligarch. Many people believe, just as I do, he is.
Yet he has spent much of his wealth working to bring good to humanity. You cannot say that about other extremely wealthy individuals. Plus he has paid more in taxes than any other US citizen
What good did he bring? And, sorry what taxes did he pay because last time I checked his two largest businesses are literally built and still function primarily off of government subsidies. Your taxes are literally going to support his vanity projects.
Is it fair to lump Musk into the same category as Zuckerberg, when it is his #OpenSource Tesla ventures that are propelling us closest to mankind’s opportunity for what Tony Seba calls #StellarENERGY?

Elon isn't that intelligent or interesting TBH. He's a PROLIFIC narcissistic gaslighter blowhard DBL down TRAITOR TRAIN WHO thinks he's IT. Well he's not IT.

He's a loser to me. 👁️
Ok so contracts are absolutely a form of subsidy. SpaceX is pretty much entirely funded by contracts. Starlink is directly funded through certain agencies like the FCC off the top of my head. Tesla get the most in the form of contracts, tax breaks, and tax credits. Those credits are literally what made his company possible in the first place; other car manufacturers paid Tesla for regulatory credits since they're all electric and their customers get upwards of 15-20% off the top of the vehicle price because of the tax rebate. For this reason, there's pretty much no way you can say that his businesses are NET paying taxes.
The risk for Musk investing is going from a billionaire to a multi-millionaire, to me, someone who works for a living, that's not a risk. For me, the hard part is not understanding how the businesses work that part is very easy, it's showing people that 'innovators' like Musk are not the backbone of the company, it's the workers and the engineers who made it happen.
Exactly 💯. Well said.
So??? Does that make up for his insidious poisonous agendas on the US Government Departments & some webpages??!! You're gaslighting for him. It's ridiculous.
That's so easy. I'd cut the Pentagon budget to $0. There's your waste fraud and abuse.

This is so far off’! How did this man get to speak on this topic? Way off way wrong and completely delusional. Someone needs to wake this poor man up! He needs a good teaching!
His views are very dangerous and typical of the left. Globalists. They want to destroy our country, our way of life, our freedoms. I have never felt the need to amass extreme wealth". I don't mind people who have worked hard for their money to become extremely wealthy. If they choose to hoard it that's on them and their conscience. I am a big supporter of those that use their wealth to better society like Elon Musk. On the other hand people like Soros that stays in the shadows causing chaos in this and other countries that is absolutely unacceptable and should be banned from anything that affects our country.
Indeed! And also, Soros is using
Tax payers money to destroy the USA! It’s not even HIS money!
Yup, and Musk is doing the same thing, look at all the subsidies his companies get.

Scott Galloway is not the person that you go to for this nonsense. He’s been proven wrong so many times in economics. It’s unreal. If he was really up for debate, he would’ve not tucked his tail and ran off of X because he could not take the criticism. Much like people on the left he wants an audience that’s only filled with people that agree with them. And you wonder why the Democrat party is seen in such unfavorable polling. The pessimism and not taking any responsibility has given the Democrats a 21% approval among the electorate.
I find it sad that the Right accuses the Left of the very thing the Right does. The Right needs to get out of the Fox/Newsmax/Joe Rogan bubble and listen to both sides and think critically. Before your Right brain explodes all over your keyboards I do read and watch media from both sides of the aisle and it’s obvious that the conservative media are mouthpieces for the Trump regime.
I watch from both sides of the isle and even more so, new media. I find the main stream media, msnbc, cnn, nbc, bbc, , etc. Yes even Fox speaks lies at times. As far as Fox being the mouth piece for President Trump. It is good that one news station is fair and balanced towards his administration. All the other are openly vehemently in opposition of EVERYTHING. They genuinely hate him so much they push lies and when called out they never acknowledge it. They just move the goal posts over again and again not realizing most Americans see exactly what they are doing. The rest of Americans are like sheep easily lead by the msn.
Fox News is an entertainment network, they don't do news. I'm not going to convince you but I just want you to know that it is capital P Propaganda when they're excusing disappearing innocent green card holders. You enjoy the spectacle of what they're saying that's why you watch. It's pop politics not factual reporting and analysis. They know you'd rather watch The Five rant about whatever nonsense to rile you up more than factual news coverage. You don't live in a movie. I hope one day you're able to deprogram.
LOL- liar
I rather be Trumps mouthpiece than be Kamala Harris' mouthpiece. Trump may not be doing everything according to my personal advocacies, but he is trying to make some significant and positive changes... I fled from the Democratic party; they have gone way too Marxist (authoritarian) for me. I don't support the woke culture--none of it, and I don't support destroying our country or the dollar; that is, if it's not already too late to save it.
I also don't support the central bank digital currency-- aka CBDC--or being controlled and surveilled any more than we have been since Obama's administration. And I definitely do not support wars. All this would have increased on steroids if Kamala Harris would've won. She's an ambitious, lazy slut, and socio-political climber!
Of course, we still need time to see how things materialize under Trump! But I do proudly support him while consciously being aware of the fact that he could, potentially, fail or let us down in the end. Yes, these are high stakes but worthwhile to me. It's a nasty and cruel world he's operating in -- just like real estate, the industry where Trump built his name before embarking on a career in the political industry.
I also support Vance, RFK Jr, and Tulsi Gabbard, especially the latter two. Some good health policies, right now, are being advocated and pushed by Kennedy. That said, it will be rough. He's dealing with powerful and dangerous agencies- such as, the FDA, CDC, Big Pharma, WHO, and global elitists (e.g. WEF) who are funding these agencies and want to create a one-world- order while promoting transhumanism. You can also add to this list, the corrupt war-mongering politicians who want to keep receiving the profits and other gains that wars and corruption bring them--clearly, there's an overlap here.
All said, you must keep in mind these are neither blue nor red attributes---they're coming from both political parties. But remember, Trump is not a traditional politician. He's seen as an outsider, and that's why he's such a threat to the deep state and the corrupt establishment.
BTW: I'm not into crony or oligarch capitalism and not into monopolies... I believe in regulations. Man doesn't have to be greedy... but many with power either are or become so.... Our capitalism system has gone unchecked and been corrupt for too long, and that's the problem. It's not capitalism in itself that is the problem--it's how it is practiced by those in power. What we have been experiencing for decades is unchecked greed.
Also, wasn't Stalin also known for murdering his own citizens? However, the US gov doesn't have any problem killing or targeting its own people either, as we've witnessed in the last 6 years, and still witnessing. The internet has allowed us to see all this and that is why now it is being clamped down and censored ship has been on the rise.
goodness!! That's why he's such a threat to the deep state and the establishment.
LOL-- look in the mirror.
Partially, but not completely accurate! No surprise here. This is what happens when the Left has an opinion that they want everyone to believe. They attack themselves and then the Right, implying that they act EQUALLY to harm this nation. Elon began supporting the Right SLOWLY because he saw so many NEGATIVE things happening on the LEFT. It took quite a bit of time for it to happen. Zuck took no time at all to switch sides, self-serving AFTER Trump's win! lol They did not act the same.... Elon could have gotten just as much or More government MONEY from the Left. He knew it yet he went with the Right because it was the RIGHT thing to do. They are not the same. Have you seen Zuck losing any money being attacked by the Left? Nope, me either. lol
We are on the same page.
One fundamental truth is that wealth serves wealth and wealth uses those no so wealth like pawns. The people must rise up and fight the lies, fight the propaganda, and follow a democratic socialist progressive reform agenda. A capitalist economic system can stay but laws must be changed to quash reactionary movements by amoral leviathans, fairly allocate and share community assets. Elections must always be fair and objective. Leaders must put the people first not stuffing their own larder.
I'd argue that democratic socialist reform is the least we should strive for. The profit structure of capitalism needlessly creates hierarchy and thus the immoral system that we live under. Reactionary belief naturally comes out of this survival-of-the-fittest mode of production. We don't need hierarchy to rule over us, we can work toward a better society where we share power equally.
Thank you for reading!
We the People have the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Not given to us by men but the free will and enterprise given to us by God. This whole thing seems to be about men fighting to control men. Limits, forced servitude, equity disguised as the word equality. It's all a lie and forced illusion to the sheep to pick a side that are both missing the mark. Imho
These people complaining here appear to have no clue of what right and wrong is. Nor any idea what American democracy as is spelled out in our constitution is or how it works. Talking heads. No real experience.
We are a constitutional republic! Not a democracy. Go back to school of yesterday that taught real history!
If you went to school you'd know that republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive terms
Good point but don't know if that is taught in schools. All I know is that we need both.
So say you. The misinformed one of the group.
Very informative piece and ALL TRUE! Thank you!
They refuse to look in the mirror. Look at biden baldy who opened our doors to the world on OUR dime. This plus a gazillion other things. Leaving BILLIONS dollars in milatary equipment in enemy territory?? PLUS AMERICANs??? Get the F out of here with this BS
Here’s the crux of the issue:
”While his sentiment is correct, it’s essential to add that this is not just a problem with the tax system, although in an isolated sense it is broken, it’s a problem with capitalism as a whole, where buying the government is an inherent incentive of the wealthy to gain more wealth. “
Capitalism by definition is the voluntary exchange of goods and services for an agreed upon price between two parties. Introducing government influence for incentive is no different essentially than armed robbery. This not not Capitalism but Cronyism.
In a truly Capitalist society it would not be possible for anyone to become this obscenely rich because there will always be competition.
It’s easy to point to greed as a reason to socialize the means of production - as if socialism somehow cures human nature from this ugly temptation. On the contrary, Socialism institutionalizes greed, and it’s not much different from cronyism since it still robs people from the fruits of their labor at gunpoint.
I find it sad that even in America this distinction still eludes general understanding.
Who are the Russian Oligarchs? They are the Communist commissars of yesterday. Big government is the problem not the solution. Big government leads to monopolies and oligarchy.
No, capitalism left to its own devices will naturally monopolize and form an oligarchy. That's exactly what happened when the government has stopped doing anti-trust enforcement over the last 30+ years. Capitalism is inherently about infinite consumption in a finite world; it's unsustainable. When it begins to collapse it leads to what is happening now– coagulation of government and corporations.
The government isn't "big" or "small" there's no such thing. It either works for the people or it doesn't.
The Russian oligarchs today are not communists by any fathomable stretch. They're capitalists who began to strip the USSR government of power beginning in the 80s, privatizing and liberalizing the nation until Gorbachev ended everything.
When you don't control capitalism and put it on a leash like China does, it consumes your country and its people and enslaves them.
Effective systems need purpose, goals, measures of input and output and controls, feedback, assessment and improvement. The people here never signed up for an authoritarian system run by criminals and their accolites to take more wealth and property from the working people than they return in value. That's the sham, and yes it is ugly. We work to improve the system for all or we digress to a brutal existence.
I'd like to hear more about your last statement.
China! 😂
What the hecak? Calling the president a rapist is so wrong. It makes everything else you say untrustworthy. Your words shall ever remain blowing in the wind.
Donald Trump was found civilly liable for the rape of E Jean Carroll in 2023, that is a fact.
Donald Trump was in the Epstein files along with many pictures of the two together. He was quoted in 2002 regarding Epstein, “I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Oh, come on... that's not why you don't like Trump. It just sounds good to those who have TDS. Biden is a PERVERT and has allowed the child SEX trafficking industry to increase on steroids. So, you don't like Trump-- your prerogative. But provide some intelligent reasons as to why your critical thinking doesn't work for you anymore.
Trump lacks respect for others and just about every word out of his mouth is a lie. We need better leaders to protect our rights under our constitution and bill of rights.
Well to me he is much better than Kamala. It's true that he is not living up to all he said he would but still better than the alternative: woke Marxist Kamala.
23 women have accused Trump. One conviction. Christians who support him are hypocrites. He paid off a porn star to keep quiet that he slept with her WHILE married. He has slept with the wives of his friends for entertainment. He has committed so many sins in one lifetime it’s unbelievable. See Trumpfile.org
It’s about being American before party— if you believe in justice and truth, do the reading on all sides.
This sounds a bit exaggerated to me but just a bit.
In a better world the courts would have insisted all of the outstanding legal matters were allowed to run their course before his name was ever put on a ballot.
Curious, where were you during the Biden money grab???
Depends, is this a nuanced left critique or a dum dum Fox News conspiracy theory?
Their weather forecasting is terrible as well
Weather is unpredictable its not a conspiracy
Sorry to disappoint I am not a fan of any mainstream media for obvious reason that instead of news/investigative journalism people are fed opinion and political propaganda
Ya, I'm not sure why you'd think I'm defending Biden in this piece, he’s a corporate union-busting shill.
If one defines "money grab" as theivery of public assets for personal benefit with inadequate or no value exchanged (time or substance) in official capacity I would have to disagree with your determination. It seems to me Trump is way ahead of Biden in corrupt misuse of public office for personal consumption beyond his legitimate compensation. He has already been tried and found guilty of fraud in legitimate courts of law and other pending cases were delayed making a mockery of timely justice for the people. Have you ever listened to him speak? He is a poor actor who constantly presents outright lies and propaganda. No one in his party has the moral fiber to challenge this bad behavior, which is their duty. The American public is being victimized by his behavior and the lack of intercession by his party.
