Trump's next Oligarch is now in place

[Calypso Jones]

oligarch....someone who is rich and powerful.

 

[postman]

Riiiiight Musk already the richest man on the planet with billions he doesn't know what to do with is looking for tax cut crumbs. You Dems are pathetic at making an argument.

Crumbs. From his tax savings from his Tesla salary alone, Musk would make enough to pay off his loans to buy twitter.

Understand yet?

An oligarch by any other name, would smell as sweet.​

Now ... What do you think I meant when I suggested ...
" ... eventually erodes the ability of any Law to protect the People, their Property, or their Liberties."

Do you think I was talking about the Robber Barrons (which I wasn't) ...
Or how that Law eventually eroded to the fact it couldn't stop us from ending up with Elon Musk?

Are you starting to see what I was saying ...
Because that is what happened ...

The campaign finance laws, before being overturned by Citizens United, would have absolutely stopped Musk, who would be limited to the same "in kind" contributions as everybody else, around $3,000. not $25,000,000

And $3,000 would have never influenced the election, and gotten Musk a seat in the white house.

There are no 'Would's' ... "Should's ... Or 'If's' in reality ...
And I am certainly not talking about your fairytale ...

It was a race between Bezos and Zuckerberg, but evidently Zuckerberg still has half an ounce of integrity and self respect remaining.

Washington Post Opinion Section goes MAGA

The Oligarchs are in line, and Trump now has full control over the White House Press Pool.

Things are proceeding fairly smoothly overall.

History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme.

Trump’s proposed ‘gold card’ visa comes with a hidden tax break for the wealthy​

Trump said gold-card holders would not be subject to taxes on their overseas income.

Trump this week announced the creation of a new investment visa that gives the overseas wealthy permanent residency and a path to citizenship in return for $5 million. Attorneys who advise the wealthy on migration and investment visas say demand is already strong.

“The introduction of the gold card visa program represents a unique opportunity for high-net-worth individuals looking to secure U.S. residence with a pathway to citizenship,” said Dominic Volek, head of private clients at Henley & Partners. “The U.S. remains the undisputed leader in private wealth creation and accumulation.”

Volek and others who cater to the global rich say they’ve already fielded calls from clients wanting to purchase a Trump gold card. Approximately 135,000 of the world’s millionaires are projected to migrate to a new country in 2025, according to Henley. The United Arab Emirates and the U.S. typically top the list of destinations.

“I think it’s going to sell like crazy,” Trump said at his first Cabinet news conference Wednesday. “It’s a bargain.”

Well this is what we mean when we say the rich HAVE taken over our government. And you think it's going to end well for you and yours? You're fooling yourself. You're not that rich. Not all of you. Not for long.

It's no hypothetical. $250 million is a lot of spending on even a presidential campaign.
And with Trumps margin of victory being so small, less than 1.5% popular vote difference, Musk's role in the Trump victory can't be denied.

I'm thinking Hamas could take the $100 million in condoms, and trade them in for gold cards for 20 terrorists, who would get guaranteed entry into the US.

A lot of that is based in a concept that is not founded in reality.

The basic reality is that it would be silly to assume the rich would ever do anything but get richer.
They have the capital to invest, gather resources ... And effectively manage those things to produce wealth.

The premise you are attempting to suggest ... Is that reality shouldn't exist ...
Good Luck ...

....

And luck ... is the last dying vestige for the fools that want to believe
It could all possibly happen, and their dream come true ... On Accident ...

Chase your rainbows on your time ... Because I am not waiting for you to figure out what is best for me ...
I'll take care of the business and the people I can ... And that's just the simple reality of that.

No one is denying it ... We tend to try and live in reality ...
It works better that way ...

Americans are going to be better off than they have been in decades, Silly Boo Boo.
It's coming, and deal with it.

anyone ever see a photo of xiden with his cabinet once?

Yes

Understand yet?

Riiiiight the guy who amassed nearly $300 billion wants to waste him time working for the Federal government to maybe get a tax refund.

Poor Dems, they are desperate and about to fling themselves off buildings.

I knew Republicans would revert back to that position. What you said was just as true when Biden was president. There was nothing stopping people from going to school, starting a business or look for new job. In other words, you ain't gonna fix what's wrong with America.

The truth is, uneducated blue collar was doing for themselves under Biden. Unions won big time on his watch. I want to see how a President Trump handles workers who strike. He and Elon joked they would just fire them, which is illegal. So Republicans winning is going to hurt the middle class. It did under Bush and Reagan and this is just more of the same. The gap between rich and us widening, and you don't see the problem with it.

The only thing that's wrong with America is the struggling middle class. It's struggling because uneducated blue collar workers are no longer paid well. And cost of living is too much. And they don't get good insurance. Fix it. Because America was great for me before during and after Trump was president the last time. I'm not doing a lot better because of him. Elon is.

I hope so. He certainly is doing away with a lot of corruption. And when a Democrat wins next time, he can get rid of Trump's corruption.

Despite this happening for decades, Orange Man Bad.

[Billiejeens]

Oligarchs are okay if they're dem supporting oligarchs.

Those are different.

 

[Billiejeens]

Well mac the first three repliers there will be informers for Trump's FSB...

They are just getting rid of anyone with any integrity in the FBI; they will probably use them as a basis for their secret police..

Look at those replies; they will take tyranny over Democrats.. That is their mantra..

I don't see that being the choice.
But if it were.
Yes, absolutely.
