People First. Try thinking, it's fab:
75m voted D; 77m voted against their own interests and 89m eligible voters chose not to vote at all. Presently, the future is not bright, it's dark orange.
Yes. Good for you. I stopped several years ago - them and indeed all the other complicit corp dinosaurs who recklessly regurgitate BS rather than challenge it. Fak that.

And then they surrounded the town with a cordon, separating the men and women from the old, frail and children, who were taken elsewhere.

The men & women were gathered in the market square and, in due course, taken to the woods. This was before camps had been built.

Poland. WW2. You know the rest.

He might also have said, (checks notes): has it occurred to you that you might want to try and take ownership and remember your own things?

Sound argument. No regulations mean anyone can do anything. Yippee!

I can’t believe any of the massive contracts went through normal procurement.

Wall St appear convinced it’s only members of the elite wealth club who are ever going to receive these contracts. I wonder why that might be.

The Romanian people eventually sorted things out.

Apparently you can never have enough of a good thing because enough is never enough.

Smug mugs.

And then we woke up from the nightmare because some real leaders emerged and we fought back, effectively - or am I still dreaming and people are just still gabbing.

I think it's simpler. They hate non-whites and poor people. Someone else had such problems in the last century.

See: lots of very large deportation centres being built, rapido.

Powerful people were stupid enough to indulge in nefarious activities, all of which they know will have been filmed and likely handed to friends out east. Which means such people are totally Kompromatted, right up to their eyeballs. Which explains a lot of the collusion, complicity and horrors.

I believe you are right. We shall see once The Genius is no longer on the throne.

A consequence will see the impoverishment of the population.

Mr Creosote and his chums will see this as advantageous and desirable, or advantageous and desirable. They live in hope that Wall Street will love it (hint, they will).

Which is great, because they can all then go to Mars, away from us.

Where’s my blankie?!

Throw that pilot out of the plane. That’ll show him who the smart guys are.

Where’s my truffles?

Who else can fly one of these things.

Silence.

Haha.

Yes, they exist to make sure they always get their man (note: man) in The Very White House. Just like the Federalist Society always want to get their people on the SC.

Yes, look them up and their downfall. When Dictator Franco took over in Spain there were no free elections in Spain for forty years.

If they don’t leave once voted out the only remedy is direct confrontation and no decent person would wish that to happen.

A plan might be to eliminate and then replace jobs with AI; reduce education opportunities, especially research, PhD and science funding; buy up farmland for gov to own and feed their supporters; leave the poor with the choice of picking turnips in the scorching sun or sign up to be cannon fodder.

Dictator Ceausescu’s pad, built in Bucharest, Romania, and finally finished in 1997.

This in a country where most have always struggled with poverty.

Sound familiar?

Footnote:

He and his wife were killed by firing squad on Xmas day, 1989.

Their wealth is derived from massively over-valued shares. However, many of them now have so many US and non-US gov contracts they don’t need to court traditional consumers (us) as we are just a cost to taxpayer. They also know they are unlikely to ever be removed from contracts if Rs stay in power
February 16, 2026 at 2:42 PM
They really don’t and are not looking to disguise their contempt. The genius has got a picture of Vlad in The Oval, next door to his vulgar, Ceausescu sized mausoleum, and the SoS is visiting Vlad-supporting Hungary, a country of 9m yet the most corrupt in Eu. Deportation centres an ominous sign.
February 16, 2026 at 2:35 PM
Yes, that and the influence, control and protection that unlimited wealth gives access to.

A smidgeon of hope lies in the fact many of these techcos are so vastly over-valued that one day, probably sooner than later, it’s all going to go bang, big time. It will hurt us but also help rein them in.
