These are our rulers?! This is the sad but blatant truth. That they own significant parts of our political system is a testament to the power of the dollar, and the weakness and greediness of our political institutions members. Trump is a truly despicable and dangerous person, but those that own him, and use his greediness against us are more dangerous and despicable yet!
I've said this before. Musk has to be held to account for his actions in Ukraine, & his actions he's doing to put Trump in the WH again. This madness has to stop. Musk & Thiel are both immigrants that weren't even born in the U.S. so they're the last people that ever have a say in what we do or how we do it.
'Musk & Thiel are both immigrants that weren't even born in the U.S. so they're the last people that ever have a say in what we do or how we do it. '
I respectfully disagree: both have acquired US Citizenship and the US has millions of foreign-born citizens who (like Musk and Thiel) hold or are entitled to foreign citizenships. Immigrant citizens have the vote, and rightly so. The problem with the likes of Musk and Thiel is the money rather than the birthplace.
Their money does more than talk - it positively shrieks, and this is the real problem here. Billionaires exert monstrously disproportionate influence without having to bear the consequences of what it unleashes. Worst case scenario, they can simply flee the scene and set up in another country - not least via 'Golden Visa' schemes. Most people don't have that choice, no matter how many passports they may hold.
And I completely agree on accountability: a reckoning for unrestrained Capitalism is long past due.
I disagree with your immigrant analysis. Musk and Thiel have figured out a way around the loophole of not being able to run for President if you have not been born here.
I take your point - though I don't think that the likes of Musk or Thiel really want to be President of any legitimate Democracy, as it requires responsibility to other people, and a reckoning on polling day. Is a figure such as Steve Bannon any less dangerous ?
The immigrants MAGA's object to are Brown and Black. White, pink, and beige are welcome these days. (Previously, Irish were not welcome, then Italians...) And I read somewhere that a MAGA told an indigenous American to go back where he came from.
It’s pretty hypocritical to the party that HATES immigrants & then you have these two interlopers who came here to acquire wealth, to try to stick their big, fat noses in our elections. I’m tired of these vile scumbags trying to slither into the WH. We have to make new laws that strikes these people down. They have millions of conflicts of interest. I’m tired of the lack of laws & the corrupt cabal that gets to lie & spread propaganda to gain & keep power.
We are facing the worst fears of the drafters of our US Constitution. These billionaires, along with their preferred candidate, look a lot like King George, who was called out in our Declaration of Independence.
Recall that under a brilliant man named Julius Caesar, Rome flourished when operated as essentially a benevolent dictator. From the point of view of 99% of the Romans, he could do no wrong. They had games and bread and wine and the public fountains and wash rooms had never had it better. The other 1% were the aristocracy. Their families were murdered and their bank accounts used to clean up the mess that was Rome.

That habit lasted a few centuries until Christianity took hold of all the old gods and adopted their liturgy to hold sway with the general populace. Rome’s run at both the democratic republic and autocracy collapsed with nothing to show but historical accounts.
Christians persecuted the Greek teachers as preaching a heretical nonsense and burned the Library of Alexandria in a fit of pique.
Kings and Queens rose and fell across both Europe and Asia. Asia fared better due to a lack of religious conflict. It took Europe over a thousand years to recover urban infrastructure to the level of pre Christian Rome.
Sufficiently recovered to once again begin conquest, Europeans sent ships to America and promptly destroyed four flourishing civilizations in their attempt to enlighten. The driving force behind enlightenment was Christianity.
Fast forward to the disaster we once knew as the USA and it certainly appears that we are indeed repeating the history we carried here from Europe. Total religious intolerance is on the brink. They actually carried out Bradbury’s book burnings in Florida. Laws devised to quell violence are being overturned. Our own courts have granted the sitting President absolute power. That is exactly what the Roman Senate granted willingly to that first Caesar. Maybe he’ll grant the mobs free TV in place of public spectacle.

Behind the scenes we see the machinations of a tome that dwarfs both Torah, and Bible. It’s innocuously titled Project 2025. The new king has been crowned as surely as if he were adorned with golden robes. His loyal minion has a single goal: practice the outlines contained within those 900 plus pages, until this nation answers to their perceived will of god.

Rome was destroyed not by her dictators, but by a growing theocracy.
Donald will die soon, but his legacy will be what the black ships attempted in Japan and China. This will become subject to theocratic rule like Iran.
Long before our Mother Earth wipes the slate clean, her people will be comprised of only two types: the faithful and billionaires. The faithful will work hard to increase their numbers and the billionaires will sit back and watch, fooled into thinking they have control.
I guess Chinese President Xi Jinping has the right idea. He puts the billionaires in prison. We're setting up for something ugly here in America like our version of the French Revolution.

Cut the money, cut the puppeteers' strings. Where would any of them stand in a system where people can't be bought ? They wouldn't understand it.
Good luck today.

In fairness to Thiel, he didn't have a say in coming to the US - he was only a year old.
But the GOP hypocrisy is breathtaking, I agree.
Nobel Peace Prize for whoever manages to solve the problem ?
Best of luck today.
Oh ok…I didn’t know he was that young.
