Wildly corrupt. The president should not personally profit from mergers the executive branch must approve.
Though if he’s making money from Netflix buying Warner Bros., Paramount and the Ellisons aren’t getting it.

He’s turned the presidency into the world’s largest ATM machine.

The nurses that cross the picket lines are scabs
The hospitals they're striking from, are offering travel nurses $9K for ONE WEEK/5 shifts.
So they definitely have the money.

Wait a minute. The grandson of the UK’s most notorious fascist works for Palantir? That’s a bit too on the nose.
I am not sure a black shirt was the best outfit choice here for Louis Mosley of Palantir (and grandson of Oswald).

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

👇🎯 Again, everyone knows at this point that he needs to be impeached & removed. Yes, they’re not fully consolidating the authoritarianism. That’s been true since 1/6/21. But if you keep not removing & banning the authoritarians from office, you’re still not a democracy. Hybrid regimes are bad, too.

When democracy is restored following the end of a dictatorship, dissolution of the secret police is an essential next step. Screening of all secret police members to identify those involved in serious crimes is also important.
When democracies replace authoritarian regimes, they typically disband the secret police.
Portugal (1974): PIDE disbanded within days.
Greece (1974): ESA disbanded. Leaders imprisoned.
East Germany (1990): Stasi dissolved.
Chile (1990): CNI dissolved.
Brazil (1990): SNI dissolved.
