Why is getting criminals off the street a bad thing?

Why is putting them in the White House a good thing?

Enforcing immigration laws doesn't make me a bad person

Violating due process does.

The conduct of Musk and Thiel makes sense- they're trying to create a neo feudal state where they're monarchs.

Bezos and Zuckerberg make much less sense. They're on the outside of the tent - what's the point of "fuck you" money if you don't tell "fuck you" to the people who most need to hear it?

I’ve always been a little baffled by Zuckerberg’s motivations. He doesn’t seem to know what he wants.

I assume they are getting sucked into the "Shit billionaires should rule the world and be Trillionaires" thing

Bezos, fucking pussy.

We need everyone to know how much the tariffs are costing them.

Can you imagine being worth $200 billion and letting anyone steamroll you like that?

The Russians/Soviets have known it for decades.

the right has been working toward it for decades, too. their war on education began long ago. the elites on that side want a stupid, easily controlled populace of worker bees.

You keep missing the point. I've already explained.

IT IS BECAUSE YOU GET OFF ON OTHER PEOPLE'S SUFFERING.

All of those people were not criminals, like your orange leader told you. Most were probably working hard to better their life.

But, we don't see anything from you about how the republicans have control of both chambers of congress and are doing nothing to actually develop policy to fix the immigration issues. Policy, is something trump doesn't understand. Policy would allow us to maintain the border security while also addressing the humanitarian issues as well as need for labor. But you don't ever talk about that, you just get out the Jergen's and start celebrating the pain and suffering of others.

You are a bad person.

Especially an orange turd, who's accomplishments in life are being born on third base and his father having the catcher drug off the field so you can walk home unattested.

Let me also add. We don't know they are criminals, none of them received due process.

If Trump had the slightest idea how to follow the law or govern—and didn’t walk around acting like some kind of untouchable god—he’d be doing actual policy work, like hiring more people to handle arbitration of border cases. If these people were being properly processed, deposed, and deported because they truly didn’t qualify to be here, I wouldn’t say a damn thing—and neither would you. But that’s not what’s happening. What is happening brings you joy, and that’s pathetic. And frankly, so is the fact that you’re okay with it. You are a sad person.

Of all the things that might have brought about the death of what was once the most respected, envied nation in the world, I would never have guessed "misinformation" making us implode from within. But here we are.

I was listening to an interview with Rory Stewart and he said the same.

He spoke of how Britian based decisions on the stability and backing of the US and how they now cannot.

These are the things that no one is really watching that this administration is fucking up so bad it will take decades to recover.

These fucking idiots are throwing away years of prosperity based on a myth created in trumps weird shaped head.

Even with China, we could have figured out a way to push China on many of the issues without alienating the rest of the world.

“I don’t regret my vote, given the choices,” he [Dane] added. “I do regret current trade policy.”

But the always self-righteous Bret Stephens reminds us,

"Certain readers of this column may be tempted to condemn Dane for caring more about the bottom line than the good of the country, as they see it. That strikes me as morally and politically obtuse."

Nope. We should condemn Dane. He's an idiot.

One of my takeaways from reading that piece is that Dane’s family created the business over 30 years ago. I read that as Dane didn’t create and build the successful business - like Trump, he inherited a successful business. I’m guessing Dane is similar to Trump in thinking he hit a triple when he was born on third.

The whole WWE description reminded me of an article talking about the suspension of disbelief and cults. It was in the Rio Times and talking about Trump and Bolsenaro. I found it

Idiot indeed. His full quote regarding not regretting his vote for Trump: "Trump, he says, was “better than the Democratic alternative: namely a president, Biden, who was plainly deceiving the country about his mental health, and a complicit-in-the-deception candidate, Harris, who comes from the anti-business progressive wing of California politics that is ruining the state.”

So Kamala represents progressive Democrats who are "ruining" California economically (a state, by the way, that just passed Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy) but in reality it's Donald J. Trump who is actually ruining his business and pushing him to the brink of possible bankruptcy. Biden was not in good mental health (true), but Trump has been a walking mental vacuum his entire life and during his campaign last year sounded worse and more mentally confused than Biden on a number of occasions. As with so many Trump voters, the Donald J. Trump this guy thinks he supports doesn't actually exist. The line that "he’s offended that the president is making tariff exceptions for big tech companies but not for the smaller American businesses that the administration is supposed to champion" is revealing in that this guy apparently thought that Trump actually gave a shit about smaller businesses like his. The evidence is clear that the only thing Trump has ever cared about is himself and his own business and financial interests. When it comes to Trump people like Dane are deluded, plain and simple.

Every single one of these fucks knows that Trump can destroy them if he so chooses, though. Trump has made it clear that he’ll sic the DOJ, FBI, IRS, and all other agencies on anyone who dares to disobey him.

Bezos and all these other corrupt asshats only care about maintaining their fortunes. By kowtowing to Trump, Bezos just ensured that Trump will (a) fight that much harder for tax cuts for the wealthiest, (b) fight for corporate tax cuts, and (c) probably finagle a few sweet deals for Bezos’ various businesses.

 

[Centerpiece]

Don’t know about you, but I’m really looking forward to actual video of Bezos, Zuckerberg or Musk falling out of a 20 story building. Though squeamish normally, I’d like to see the splat on the pavement in living color. I’ve said before I’m a bit evil like that. Squeamish, but evil.

How does one destroy someone worth 200+ billion $$$$$?

How?

Crater their wealth to a paltry $3-10 billion?

How does that change one’s day-to-day life?

You think Bezos is squeaky clean and hasn’t committed a half-dozen crimes that Trump could order his henchmen to investigate?

Further, you think Trump and his lackeys really give a shit if Bezos has, in fact, committed any crimes when they can simply fabricate tons of allegations against him and destroy his business and deny them government assistance and cut them out of contracts?
