All so he could have it painted “hotel swimming pool blue.” Next thing is know he’s gonna be renting out the Lincoln Bedroom for $1 million a night with room service costing extra.
That was basically the going rate for party contributors last 20 years
C’est magnafique.
I’m just saying, Rusty Cage built one in Florida. It’s just sitting there waiting for us. https://youtu.be/QWODiNSiAr8
This is just a song for people who love spelling…
This old time ,now we use jet engines
As much as people love to talk about them, they weren’t how things got fixed.
Like, by the time guillotines come out, its already over.
What the actual fix was, was the masses understanding that the wealthy were fine if everyone else starved in the streets. And that if they didn’t do anything about that fact, nothing was gonna change.
That turned protests into riots, and made the people guarding the oligarchs realize the oligarchs were fine with them dying too.
When they flipped, they just stopped showing up to risk their lives for one more paycheck. Every single person that doesn’t show up changes the mental math everyone else does the next morning.
To get anything to change, the people guarding the oligarchs need to feel like they’re drastically outnumbered and outgunned, that whatever they’re being paid isn’t enough, because they have a legitimate chance of death for picking that side.
We’ll never scare the oligarchs enough to change shit, they have too much too lose. They’ll just hire more thugs and build more bunkers.
So we make the thugs too scared to stand between oligarchs and an armed mob, and suddenly there’s plenty of time to build some guillotines or park jets, because no one is there to stop us from storming mansions and putting oligarchs in chains.
Anyways, the method doesn’t matter, what matters is setting the example to following generations that this is what happens with rampant wealth inequality. That this isn’t an “if” it’s a “when”.
An armed a mob is outdated, we need drones.
Drones are the modern pitchforks and torches, but also pitchforks and torches never go out of style so bring some of them too
First I think we need to focus on making our own internet, complete opsec, cutting out these corporate companies everywhere
Its called ,start a revolution
Don’t get discouraged by how many of these keep coming up, and that “they got away with it”.
They’re “getting away with it” present tense, but forensic accounting is a thing.
We can’t just pull a Biden again with the PPE loan fraud and pretend it didn’t happen. We need to put the effort in and hold these people accountable.
Did they blow the money?
Seize all their propert, make it a nondischargeable judgement, garnish their wages (after they get out of prison).
White collar crime keeps happening because no one is ever held accountable and it’s literally killing our society.
A progressive president in 2028 will have thousands of examples to show this open corruption is no longer acceptable. Added benefit it’s not just people with Rs by their name doing these grifts. So fuck the neoliberals, if they’re doing less blatant shit like this too, prosecute them as well and make room for a Dem who will support the people.
Going after political corruption like this regardless of party is an obvious win
Fuck, “drain the swamp” is one of the biggest lies that got trump elected, that’s how desperately the people want this at an end.
It’s funny that Biden was one of the best and most progressive presidents in modern history and people like you still pretend he was horrible and don’t admit your role in bringing in a Trump administration again.
Jimmy Carter was the best US president ever, imo, but he’s not above criticism. Biden, though he was probably the best president of my lifetime, is also not above criticism. Talking about ways he could have done better now, with hindsight, several years after he’s out of power is a very different thing from doing it in late October 2024.
If we’re just never allowed to criticize democratic politicians from the left, that makes it difficult for people to realize that there are options outside of neoliberalism. I graduated from high school and college during Obama’s presidency and I rejected even the reasonable criticism I heard of him from right wingers, because they poisoned the well with things like the Dijon mustard drama (and because I was a dumbass adolescent/young adult and politically illiterate, but an unfortunately large number of voters are politically illiterate dumbasses).
It wasn’t until I was ranting about my (at the time) tea party dad’s constant Obama criticism to an anarchist friend that I realized there were actually reasons to criticize him not grounded in either racism or Neomccarthyism. He was the first person I knew who wasn’t a bigot, a conservative, or a tankie and didn’t support Obama, and after our conversation I went home and looked up how he handled Guantanamo Bay, drones, and the Wall Street bailout, etc.
Without that input, I don’t know how long it would have taken for me to become politically aware and active, but I definitely wouldn’t have begun moving left as early.
There’s always reason to criticize leaders even good ones.
It’s when you do things like relentlessly talk shit about people like Harris who would have been fantastic you end up convincing people not to vote and we end up with Trump as president again.
Jesus fucking christ. No offense but to declare Biden the most Progressive president? Get the fuck out of here. Kang seems better than kodos, yet the results is the same isn’t it?
Biden supported his son’s fuckery in Ukraine and he refused to plan for succession, and all of his party was getting richer off the stock market.
There was nothing progressive about Biden, just the typical Democrat approach of slightly better than the last asshole politics.
I am in agreement and that is a very short list of Biden being a sold out piece of fucking shit. A very short list. We have to stop lionizing these democratic sellouts.
Who was the most progressive president of modern times then?
You again, I think we are in agreement here, Your revolting username aside Period obviously I’m going with FDR, but I’m actually a Huey Long fan
He also ended the most Iraq wars so I guess he was anti war too huh.
Compared to the guy before and after him he was pretty much Gandhi.
And this won’t even break his top 50 scandals.
Someone posted the view from above and it’s bad fam, real bad.
Draining the swampPainting the poolNice, to use the color of the Democrats for its birdbath
Now that you mention it, it wouldn’t have been a surprise if he painted it maga red just to make it look bloody and “scary” or something. You know, like Melania’s Christmas trees of old.
