Billionaires and corporations are America's biggest entitlement program. Cut that program.

Ukraine set wealth and corporate limits on political contributions. They effectively removed corporate and the rich from donating and influencing government politics.

As a medical professional, my educated guess is that he is in fulminant heart failure. They probably put a catheter in him and are feeding him Lasix to diurese him so he can breathe and move his legs. He can't stroll around dragging a Foley bag in front of the cameras. All of this does not bode well for the Orange asswipe.

I believe this too. That's why JD Vance has taken so many vacations, he knows that he will actually have to do some work, for a change. Unmask Peter Thiel's sabotage plan against everyday Americans. This is OUR COUNTRY and we reject OLIGARCHY!!

Peter Thiel, do you want surveillance into every aspect of your life?? Into your business??

Your shopping??

Into your bedroom??

Americans will not sit by, idly, while you try to take our privacy rights away.

He knows he’ll never be subject to the issues that will plague the rest of us. The old model of “one law for all” is deader than a zombie. And this cabal of entitled guys had already thoroughly eroded any privacy rights we once took for granted across the entire fabric of our lives. Even our medical information is now available to data brokers- thank you Toad in the Oval Office. It’s estimated that it will take 12 years to set the ship aright again, and it may be necessary to issue all new SSA information or install an entirely new system.

Individuals like Thiel do not see poor people (that’s you & me & the 99%) as real human beings. Only his family and colleagues in his billionaire class are considered truly human. An echo of the puritan Presbyterian Elect worldview and a common mindset amongst our present day global rich élite. Any approach in which the horrendous suffering they are wilfully inflicting upon others will not touch them. Many even get off on viewing it (see Maxwell v Epstein survivors and Gaza genocide) because it reinforces their identity as the true legitimate Masters of our World. They can only be effectively ousted, over the longterm, as they have already successfully hijacked the political establishment in both the US & the UK, by an equally focused, equally ruthless law based collective pushback.

It’s a toss up as to which is worst, listening to facts or listening to lies.

I’ll need to feed this to AI and have it digest this for me to give me a concise summary that I can then quickly file away in a lead lined folder.

On a bright note, it sure is a good time to practice letting go in a Buddhist sense of detachment without losing love.

Thank you for honoring your truth and the courage to share it.

Kamala also had another disadvantage. Voter supression, which is the reason she lost. Democrats always has to overperform to win, they have to overcome gerrymadering when it comes to stat and federal representatives. If the majority actually got to decide an election, republicans may never win again. It would be a win for American democracy if only democrats was elected. Then the "centrists" would become the conservatives and liberal and progressives could control the agenda.

Umm, because they want to return to fiefdoms and serfs. They have no interest in fixing things for the general public. None of those guys value humanity let alone people who aren't in the 801-member billionaire class.

The operative word is if they choose! Warren Buffett pays a helluva lot of taxes and stated that there wouldn’t even be a deficit if billionaires paid their portion! That S/B a crime! Having so much money and placing the debt on the backs of American people!! A fucking crime!!! Then it S/B a crime to be able to use your wealth to buy or groom a candidate that’s illegal and should NO LONGER be Allowed Periodt!!! Same with corporations they must pay Taxes No more loopholes and breaks because you’ve taken advantage way too long off the backs of Americans who often make $7.25 an hour. WE THE PEOPLE MUST DO BETTER! The GREED HAS GOT TO STOP PERIODT!

Not all billionaires are evil (at least I like to think so), but the ones who are have WAY too much power and influence. Warren Buffet said the rich should be taxed more. Unfortunately, at 95, he's not likely to have much influence going forward. Then there's Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs. While some of the projects she has invested in have been criticized, I think she genuinely intends to do good things. George Soros is apparently the only liberal billionaire MAGA has heard of. He seems to get their blame for supposedly funding any grass-roots activism that they don't like. Regardless, billionaires should not be running the government. But they can help the people if they so choose.
