I imagine there are some pretty muscular mob-connected contractors involved in that project. Orange Fat is going to go through food tasters like an Oklahoma cattleman going through casino chips at the roulette table.🫢🤢😵🪦

The question is, why did these hedge fund moguls pour their cash into Argentina when it has such a horrible record with the IMF?

They’ve been getting high on their own supply. Milei’s economic policies are their own fantasies for the US. Slash government spending & scoop up the leftover cash. Oops.

The Mad King on the Iron Throne can declare anything he wants. But US Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 states Congress must vote every declaration of war.

Members of the ancien regime in 1789 France thought they had it all their way too. As did the Romanovs in 1917 Russia. Just when you think you’ve beaten the odds and have everything locked up for yourself forever, along comes Fortuna & the wheel turns.

This is OG Trump style. He’d schmooze up contractors & subcontractors then stab them in the back by stiffing them. “Want your money? See you in court, losers.”

Dumbass super-macho blue collar types fall for that stuff like catnip.🤭

I guess we have $$ for the things Orange Fat wants.

Wait til we see plans for the YUGE pyramid next to the Washington Monument.
”It has to be bigger than Cheops‘ pyramid. And taller than Washington’s obelisk.”

Ah, but are you old enough to remember that Nixon used his “special services staff” to target individuals on his enemies list for IRS audits & harassment. You know, like Trump did with Comey & McCabe.

Unfortunately, that’s how the SCOTUS 6 are framing it. As a “political” issue & not one of racism, exclusion & disenfranchisement. They are fascist to the core & they see a police state as the only way to secure the blessings of crony capitalism to future generations.

Well he *could* but that’s not his gig. He’s a supervillain & takes joy only in destroying. And he’s hungered to destroy Obamacare for over a decade. So that’s what he’ll do.

Odd, isn’t it, how so many people are uncomfortable around other people’s expression of personal identity but snuggle up to state oppression & fascism as if it were their own baby blanket.

It’s because it will no longer be run as a public agency for the common good . It is now solely an organ of police state power & oppression.

Don’t. Pay. Your. Taxes.

Americans are hopelessly gullible.

Corporatists persuaded them “If you want freedom of speech, assembly & religion you must allow freedom of business to pilfer, pillage & plunder. Otherwise, it’s not a free market.”

Where U find concentrations of oil, money & greed, U find tyranny. Saudi, etc.

Raskin is of course correct. But you can’t shame these creatures. You need only look at Patel, Vought etc & can tell that they want the whole USA to be just like Epstein Island where they have their choice of whatever victims they fancy.

These are sick, twisted perverts who only want to destroy.

Rightwingers yap “law & order” but what they really want is power & impunity to do whatever mayhem & crime suits their vicious tastes.

Are these political thugs “GOPers” or are they really just “GrOPers” hiding their perverse intentions under color of law?🤔

It’s very telling. When Bull Conner‘s ruthless attack on nonviolent marchers with dogs, nightsticks, etc made the evening news in the 1960s Ma & Pa America were horrified agents of the law could act that way.

Now smug viewers sit home & smile with sadistic satisfaction that minorities are punished.

But no one saw the danger when, for instance, Kavanaugh lied about his sexual assault or Thomas lied about his sexual harassment during their confirmation.

Jurists who hate the truth will pave the way for violent fascism & concentration camps. As they did in Germany & Italy in the 1930s.

The answer to the former speaker’s question is that these microphone-toting shills are paid by oligarchs to generate propaganda, not news & information.

Not one could land honest work, like hauling trash or pumping septic tanks.

On state judicial elections, especially in off-years, low-information voters strictly go with name familiarity & the biggest ad buys

PA voters will happily consign the Constitution to the flames as long as it’s pitched as a patriotic weenie-roast.

Be careful, Mrs Betty Bowers. When the bottom quartile of IQ test scorers are calling the shots and irony is officially DOA forever, your snarky takes may be taken as serious recommendations & acted upon as such.

PJB (Peanut + Jelly Bread) is the dimwit first in line for that.
