Oh no…the Leopards ate my face thread

I mean, if you think about it, he started out with a real estate empire worth, IIRC, a couple of hundred million dollars and, as you say, he's managed to blow it and end up with just what he grift from the presidency.

It's quite remarkable, really. You could almost call it a talent

 

That is about as pure gangster as you can get.

 

The economy is already doing better under Trump!

 

Price of eggs people won't care. It will be he was a white male and the low information voters never found any information on the Dem plan

 

Weird Al needs to get topical and tackle this one. Top Grifters of the World Unite!

 

Trumpgrifters would work... but that extra "R" might be a bitch to sing outside the studio.

 

The only way Trump ends up not having an all milionaire/billionaire cabinet is by mistake.

 

Yeah, I don't think people understand how big this is. I think people expect something like we've seen before, on the order of how they gouged the Secret Service on renting apartments on Trump territory. Or maybe his renting of rooms / floors out to foreign governments as a barely hidden bribe. Maybe he's going up his game and he and his close cronies are going to skim hundreds of millions. Let me tell you, that's all small fry.

If Trump's team gets its way, it's going to be much worse than that. I'm talking society-changing levels of grifting. They are looking into wholesale changes in banking rules and getting rid of the FDIC. Those things are in the way of whatever it is Trump and his alternate financial system crypto-bro allies are working on.

I think one the great American self-deceptions is that most think they would get out ahead in a dog-eat-dog world if they just weren't held back by society. It's an idea implanted in them by people who want to take them to the cleaners.

 

It's like the wildcat bank era, except a guy connected to the wildcat banks won the Presidency.

 

RFK Jr.'s lawyer and top ally asked FDA to revoke approval of polio vaccine

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk-jrs-lawyer-top-ally-asked-fda-revoke/story?id=116769906

I hope this happens.

 

Why?
It would cause unnecessary pain and suffering to people that had no say.

 

With Trump's election, the pain and suffering is a fait accompli for both the guilty and the innocent.

 

Tweet apologies but relevant to some of the things the GOP wants to attempt:

Screenshots because the API is garbage now. But while they are still dangerous, it's a world of difference from the the guys who have worked in government compared to the idiots that haven't.

 

I get that, but taking away approval for the polio vaccine isn’t something I can hope happens, leopards be damned.

 

Bro, I don't know anymore. Half of me feels the sky has to really fall for people to not be so stupid and be passive when it comes to elections. The half of me knows so many innocent people will suffer that it will be brutal to witness especially my fellow minorities.

As a certain once and future president would say: Sad!

 

Well this is a hell of a place to start Saturday

 

They are appointed to 10-year terms that are supposed (!) to keep them and their work apolitical since they are guaranteed to cross presidencies. As so often elsewhere, for Trump "no" means "now."

 

Jesus, we lost sight of that in the rear view mirror a LONG time ago. We're now at the part where we're meant to believe there are no such things as numbers.

 

I can't wait for the new math classes: XXV x IV = C
