Take THAT America!

“some” “on board with” “potentially”.

He’s right you don’t need pencils, but you always need steel. I’m going to buy my family a block of steel this year. We always need it! So why not!

No longer a populist Authoritarian.

Taxes are deflationary (they are the death of money), rather than cut spending - you could just slap a bunch of taxes on Musk and others hoarding of wealth.

That’s the problem with spending cuts, you might be cutting deflationary spending, or price stabilizing spending. Not all spending is inflationary.

A homeless person often costs the government more than an unemployed person, because usually they’re gonna still be collecting some benefits here and there, often they end up in jail, or are more likely to use public housing, or do crimes which need policing/court involvement… It all stacks up.

Preventing people from becoming homeless is deflationary.

It’s not up to politicians to tell people what to expect of them. The people are the ones who tell the politicians what is expected of them.

“oh, I only see race!”

Isn’t CBS owned by Larry Ellison, run by Bari Weiss?

It should be boycotted.

…or their own country, with it’s own constitutional adjustments… It’s own president, military, and the offer to pay people to move there. When you get more people than the USA, start calling yourself the USA.

…say you’ll only rejoin the union of there’s a snap election with new oversight rules, have th UN or NATO involved to prevent cheating.

He melted down? Must have been too close to the fire.

Why would this be for a “potential coup” and not - telling the generals they’re going to be attacking several “Democrat cities” using real military grade violence, and may receive live fire from disgruntled citizens.

…that seems like a far more likely reason for the meetings. Far far more likely.

Pretending the Trump administration hasn’t already broken the law is massive click bait.

Also, billionaires will still be legal under the Democrats. That’s the real reason Trump got in, and the real problem.

Returning to “the norm” is not a solution. They’ll just be another Trump eventually unless the billionaire problem is addressed.

WATTERS: And then they sabotaged the teleprompter. I mean, this is an insurrection.

Broken escalator + teleprompter fail = insurrection.

“We don’t like Trump, so we want to go back to the system that produced him, and his voter base.”

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

If they really want change they should lobby for fairer systems with better services and greater wealth distribution.

Jefferson said something like that when arguing to rewrite the constitution:

…but that was probably written from France when feeling all bohemian on his trip with his child sex slave.

There’s going to be a lot of land available for Tech Bros to set up their private cities.

As JD Vance’s Peter Thiel funded miracle run through the Senate proved, you don’t have to be a Senator long to run for Pres. or VP.

Vance had just two years in professional politics before becoming VP, thanks to Peter Thiel’s money and influence.

It’s a pay-for-play system, not a Representative Democracy.

That’s how parties that don’t actually serve the majority end up dying. It’s a flaw in democracy that it can be so easily corrupted by the wealthy classes.

It ends up all being a sham, then a shame, then a dictatorship.

Neo-Liberaliam / Economic Liberalism is part of what got Trump elected. The sense that Capitalism was beyond the reach of meaningful governance, and will always just aid the wealthy getting wealthier - created a hunger for radical change.

People end up just wanting radical change out of frustration, regardless of what direction that change takes (left or right). They just want a break in unrelenting Capitalism.

Which explains why for many, Bernie, AOC, and Trump, were all likable/popular choices at the same time.

Newsome as a moderating figure will prevent any strong shift away from the service of Capitalism as above all else, and hence is a huge danger to the politics of equilibrium. It’s ratchet theory, keeps things stuck.

… Neo-Liberals should be embarrassed to admit who they are, because they caused this, by claiming that Capitalism and deregulation is a moderate position (steering the ship of state between the left and the right) - when infact that’s an economic extremist viewpoint which excuses inept government and the corruptions of money… and when perpetuated infinitum as it is, it becomes the cause of voter radicalism.

Neo-Liberal economic policies create the unshifting corruption and two-tier “too big to fail, too rich to jail” system that people want to vote against.

In this sense Newsome is dead weight, representing Bidenism 2.0. Neo-Liberals should be ashamed of themselves for not just accepting their part in creating the quagmire, but wanting to continue it.
