Yeah, unfortunately it’s about 1/3 of the country

Makes demand from his golf course, where he has spent approximately 80% of his time since inauguration, on taxpayers’ dime.

Of course, can’t let any of his shady business dealings fall under scrutiny while he’s holding the presidential reins he purchased.

To do this successfully, Democrats would have to abandon the corrupting influence of corporate PAC donations and actually work towards improving the material living conditions of the working class. Not just say some of the right things on the campaign trial, but actually fight for and pass real legislation.

I’m sorry, but the current elected officials simply aren’t going to do that. We have to replace them first to have any hope, and it’s going to take time to do so unfortunately.

It’s because of the green energy credit swap scheme in the US, which has essentially been a taxpayer giveaway of 10s of billions to Tesla over the years. Tesla itself would have gone bankrupt multiple times over by now, if not for them being able to salvage their balance sheet by selling these credits.

The way it works involves other auto / oil and gas industry companies buying the credits from Tesla, in order to offset their own carbon emissions which otherwise would cost them significantly in terms of pollution fines (and maybe bad PR).

This way, Tesla gets the taxpayers’ house money for free, and can sell it off to these other companies so they can continue polluting just as they always have been. It’s the American neoliberal dream of unchecked corporate greed with a thin veneer of eco-responsible cover so that nobody really has to do anything to improve. Just don’t scratch beneath the surface if you actually give a shit about the environment. Sadly, many don’t.

Last point on this - yes, this means Elon Musk is the biggest welfare queen in America. He rips away any assistance for those who need it (to lower his tax bill) all while gobbling up billions in free subsidies from the government. It’s grotesque.

aka kleptocracy

Neoliberalism ruined America. Stole everything we had and gave it all to the rich and corporations. And for what? Line go up? Fucking idiots.

Of course he is.

But also, foreign agents can literally just walk into the pisser at Mara-lago and find classified documents.

This administration has no interest in maintaining state secrets.

Mayo Pete: “It’s my time to shine!”

What kind of reptile is this?

Taxpayers wouldn’t have to shoulder that debt if it were simply canceled.

I know republicans would never dare make it easier on students to learn, but, this argument is bs.

It’s quite simple. Israel First. Our country serves the Israeli authoritarian state, and if you dare speak out about what they’re doing to Palestinians in Gaza, Israel will have US Authorities make you disappear.

Muskrat will just chicken out like he did the wrestling match with Zuck.

How could they convict? Luigi doesn’t even look like the guy from the video. He looks like a saint to me. Not guilty!

Does it matter if Congress doesn’t give a shit that Trump stole their power?

All hail the orange dotard in chief!

But of course these fools in media can’t help but run cover for Trump, like he’s still playing 4D chess or some such nonsense, providing his actions with totally fabricated legitimacy.

Trump is a moron of epic proportions, full stop, and he does not know what he’s doing.

biology teacher was a creationist

A very rare breed indeed

Who has Trump looked to in the past to bail him out when traditional lenders no longer would?

Leaf fElon a gnome!
