Trump's Corruption Hypocrisy

[Marener]

Everyone that previously worked there had a red phone to the oval.

James Andrew Baker is a former American government official at the Department of Justice who served as general counsel for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and later served as deputy general counsel at Twitter, Inc. before being fired by Elon Musk in December 2022.

Weren't there reports FBI was leaning on FB and Twitter that the laptop Hunter Biden outed himself on was Russia Russia?

If you say so.

 

[Marener]

People die doing selfies. Are we going to ban selfies in high places? What is wrong with your brain? Why do i need to walk you through this obvious pitfall?

You’re impossible to reason with.

Musk censored Wired and you’re okay with it because he’s on your side.

You’re a total hypocrite and are too delusional to realize it.

 

[Delldude]

If you say so.

Common knowledge in the news.

 

[Marener]

Common knowledge in the news.

It’s not knowledge and it’s not the news.

It’s alternative reality and narrative creation among right wingers.

 

[Lesh]

Lefties do not want an end to fraud waste and corruption in the Pentagon, IRS, State Department, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid because WHY?

Because Trump and Musk are spearheading it?

Huh.

Why not be on the correct side of history and join in minimizing fraud, waste, and corruption?

Unfortunately that not what Trump and Elmo are actually doing.

They’re trying to remake the government in a way that suits THEM

 

[Godboy]

You’re impossible to reason with.

Musk censored Wired and you’re okay with it because he’s on your side.

You’re a total hypocrite and are too delusional to realize it.

He banned specific journalists, not entire news agencies. Im a purist, so i dont even agree with that, but you guys were perfectly fine when youre side removed hundreds of thousands of peoples posts AND strangled the free speech of every citizen in the US by outright banning anyone who opposed certain views, so spare me your outrage. Youre just a hypocrite.

Court case, Ace.

The difference is that now it’s the government censoring journalists.

That’s what actually makes it censorship.

 

[Marener]

Court case, Ace.

Dismissed.

 

[ColonelAngus]

You lefties are fucking this up.

 

[Delldude]

Dismissed.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the White House and federal agencies such as the FBI may continue to urge social media platforms to take down content the government views as misinformation, handing the Biden administration a technical if important election-year victory.

The issue was they weren't pressing, they were outright pushing people who were afraid to say no.

 

[Marener]

The issue was they weren't pressing, they were outright pushing people who were afraid to say no.

And the difference between pressing and pushing is, uh, nothing.

Now, there's no pressing or pushing with X. It's now the government who is censoring people. Directly.

 

[Delldude]

BS............not what witnesses like Zuck said.

Just like when the left ran Twitter.............

 

[Marener]

BS............not what witnesses like Zuck said.

Just like when the left ran Twitter.............

The government never ran Facebook or Twitter.

But the government does run X now. Which means that banning journalists is now government censorship.

 

[Delldude]

The government never ran Facebook or Twitter.

They sure as hell influenced it. You never read the Twitter files Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger released?

But the government does run X now. Which means that banning journalists is now government censorship.

Oh really, you can prove that?

 

[Marener]

Oh really, you can prove that?

Elon Musk owns X.

Didn't you know that?

 

[Delldude]

Elon Musk owns X.

Didn't you know that?

Only a temporary employee in a consultant role. So your claim the government runs X is patently false.

It is incredible how Trump is going after corruption when he himself has been proven guilty of corruption.

FBI Agents' Lawsuit Against Trump 'Harbinger' of Legal Battles: Attorney​

Trump and Elon Musk exemplify a moneyocracy that could ultimately lead to America's collapse. One can blame the Supreme Court for this; they seem to worship money.

The concept of "moneyocracy," where political power is heavily influenced by financial resources, raises critical concerns about the stability and integrity of American democracy. Here’s an analysis of how this could lead to potential collapse:

## Definition and Context
- Moneyocracy refers to a system where the wealthy exert disproportionate influence over political processes, often leading to systemic corruption and erosion of democratic values. This phenomenon has been exacerbated by landmark Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United v. FEC, which allowed unlimited corporate spending in elections, fundamentally altering campaign finance dynamics[1][7].

## Implications for Democracy
- Erosion of Political Equality: The dominance of wealthy donors and corporations undermines the principle of one-person-one-vote, as political discourse becomes increasingly shaped by those with financial means. This shift can lead to policies that favor special interests over the general public, creating a disconnect between elected officials and their constituents[3][7].

- Increased Corruption: The lack of stringent campaign finance laws allows for "dark money"—untraceable funds used to influence elections—further obscuring accountability in governance. This environment fosters corruption, where lawmakers may prioritize the interests of their financial backers over those of their voters[6][3].

## Economic Consequences
- Stagnation and Inequality: A system dominated by money can lead to economic policies that exacerbate wealth inequality. When political decisions favor the rich, it can stifle economic mobility for lower-income individuals, ultimately resulting in social unrest and dissatisfaction with the government[1][7].

- Potential for Financial Crises: The intertwining of money and politics can lead to regulatory capture, where industries manipulate regulations to their advantage. This behavior can result in economic instability, as seen in past financial crises driven by lax oversight influenced by wealthy interests[2][4].

## Social and Political Stability
- Public Disillusionment: As citizens perceive their voices as marginalized in favor of wealthy interests, trust in democratic institutions diminishes. This disillusionment can lead to increased polarization, civil unrest, and challenges to the legitimacy of elected officials[7][1].

- Challenges to Governance: A government heavily influenced by money may struggle to enact meaningful reforms or respond effectively to public needs. The inability to address pressing issues like healthcare, education, and climate change could further alienate citizens and erode the foundation of democracy[7][6].

## Conclusion
If moneyocracy continues to dominate American politics without significant reforms to campaign finance laws and greater transparency, it risks leading the country toward systemic collapse. The intertwining of wealth and political power not only threatens democratic integrity but also poses significant economic and social risks that could destabilize the nation in the long run. Addressing these challenges will require a concerted effort to restore accountability and ensure that democracy serves all citizens rather than a privileged few.

Edit : This may be my last reply on this website. I’m bored with those who worship money. Greed will ultimately lead to America's collapse. The future of America depends greatly on morals, not on money or prosperity.

Hardly. You just admitted that a government employee who is running X.
