Why is nobody suggesting that Maxwell be put in alligator alcatraz?

Trump needs that Intel money to refurbish his 400 million dollar bribe jet. Nine gold toilets don't come cheap these days.

So ... if I lose money in my stock in a company, Trump is going to come and bail me out? LMAO.

Make the corporations taxpayers, paying a fair share instead of giving them taxpayer money. Novel idea, I know. 😏

Why do they trot out the same folks every week. I know Lawler thinks he's G-d's gift to a camera, but the usual suspects each and every time. Can't the bookers broaden their horizons a little bit?

I think you just answered your own questions.

Dumb-fuckery at it finest

FACISIM!

Gaining control of the means of production? SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM,SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIALISM,

In this case where is our 98% share of Space-X?

Good question.

This is a standard statement from all GOP members. What trump wants trump gets. No matter what it is.

Mike take time out from enabling President Pedo to go back to the grift?

Communism?

Also, how effing stupid does he think we are? Make New York Great Again and vote this stupid son of a bitch out… before he has another chance to have his goons drag a senior citizen out for asking questions at town hall

I noticed in this clip she didn’t ask him who was responsible for the crash in 08. (That would’ve been W. 🤫 don’t tell him. He might get upset.)

So, you're saying we should only prioritize our own interests when it's convenient for Trump? Sounds like a recipe for a very long wait in line for our 98% share of Space-X.

Grift, blackmail, kickbacks, corruption, call it whatever you want, all bullshit just like trump.

Can be further simplified to when democrats do it it’s bad when it’s the new Republican Party it’s a genius idea

Nice summation. Evergreen.

Since Republicans are now in favor of Socialist stakes of private companies the U.S. should take 25% stakes of Tesla and SpaceX

Imagine if a Dem took ownership in a tech company. They'd flip their collective lids!

He’s in a cult.

Let’s stop subsidizing companies, especially, oil companies, and space companies. Or tax properly, to claw our investments back.

Lawler doesn't care about crime. bsky.app/profile/ones...

Lawler is despicable.

Corporate welfare - socialism in another name. Lawler is a vile pig.

🤮

The more lawler gets in front of people, the more people have something to laugh about and hopefully see what the republican party is all about... blind conformists #sad #voteblue

He is so incredibly disrespectful to women journalists. He talks over them, is condescending and unwilling to answer questions without hostility. NY really sends some idiots to congress.

See: Supreme Court conservative majority.

Could companies just pay taxes?

I mean, yeah. That is basically where they are.

Whatever happened to Rs believing in free markets?

You know what IOKYAR means, right?

Tesla too?

I'm glad Trump is adopting some of Bernie Sanders proposals

Trump's personal fortune has doubled since the last election: saving up to get Vance and Junior into the White House. Meantime, the Dems do........Zionism.

Mike Lawler, the walking advertisement for too-dark shades of Just For Men, is constantly promoted as a "principled conservative" when really he is just a dick saying whatever he thinks will keep his job.

Anything to satiate the oversized orange toddler

It's a cult.

la verità essenziale

Are ya kidding me? So then, Margaret, it's ok if the f*wad does it because Lawler is a scared little guy

Oh?….but he’s proven to be an idiot loser even when he is extorting businesses and countries and his idiot base?

Lawler has to comb trumps dingleberries out of his beard twice a day.

Ah god lol

Isn't that what income tax is for?

LAWLER: Generally speaking, no... But it's Trump, so everything goes," he added gleefully.

I like how he uses the phrase "generally speaking," as I'm guessing he thinks people will still take him seriously after that. Like man, you're not far from becoming irrelevant just like your friend Elise.

Remind me what it’s called when the government owns the means of production.

Thats all ole Margaret had to ask.

"State Capitalism" I bet you were thinking of the other word, that describes a moneyless society more similar to Potlatch cultures than any culture with corporations.

Lawler is SO full of bullshit, just like all Republicans in Congress. I'm surprised shit isn't oozing out of his ears and mouth.

MAGA now: Communism GOOD!

I know that in the UK when the government takes over a company the debts of that company become part of the national debt. Probably the same in the US.

I know it's only 10%, but if the federal government becomes the largest shareholder, then Intel's debts may become our debt; I don't know.

That’s not how equity works. I think they own non-voting shares. If the company goes under though, we get nothing.

During the 2008 crash RBS nearly went under, the UK government bought them for a song. Their debts were added to the UK national debt though.

Yikes. Yeah, I don’t think that’s how would work here. I could be wrong, but when they said shares, it makes me think shares, not debt. Debt vs. equity.

That was under UK accounting rules. Nationalisation has occurred there quite a bit after WW2. I don't know how that would be accounted for in the US, since I don't think nationalisation has ever happened here.

I only know US stuff, and I don’t actually know what the arrangement is. What I do know is that the arrangement with intel was a grant. Grants are typically free money. It’s sketchy as hell. 😂

Yup.

Cult

It's the old "if we do it it's okay" schtick.

What exactly does the consumer get out of this? I’m confused.

The very definition of a fascist regime.

What about oil subsidies?? If Intel succeeds, we'll collect more taxes.

For the don’t tread on my crowd, when the government takes 10% of a private entity, that’s the government treading on private citizens.

MAGA defined

Do you remember the days when those guys were all about FREE MARKETS and everything Democrats proposed relating to taxation was against the free market/socialism/communism? Yeah, good times.

Trump Mafia is simply a "protection racket"---pay us monthly and we'll look the other way---Intel is the latest!!

Not no but Hell no!

In addition to changing his position and now supports child rapists and sex traffickers, Rep. Mike Lawler also favors government seizing the means of production and nationalizing industries.

So he’s saying yes. It’s okay.

He thinks? Good gubermenting.

Gerrymander or no, Lawler has to go

He is an idiot. The govt gets a massive return on Intel. They provide good paying jobs. Those workers pay taxes, federal, state, sales taxes, property taxes taxes

GOP: "We do whatever Daddy Trump tells us to do because we don't want him to punish us."

Or we could, you know, make companies and billionaires pay taxes.

That’s a good way to benefit from their profits.

Return on the taxpayer dollars that only Trump has spent on a private corporation?

From Google; "Fascist regimes like Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany organized these "corporations" as state-controlled entities, merging state and corporate power to manage national production, control labor, and align economic activities with the goals of the fascist state."

It’s a lazy practice by the media to label these folks conservative. Their worldview revolves around what one person wants & says. No adherence to principles and/or philosophy.

Silly me, I thought the ROI was American technological dominance and creation of high paying jobs.

Never stop clapping for Dear Leader www.vox.com/politics/416...

Generally speaking, no. But yes if Trump says so.

Please explain what the return is? Paper stock that is worth nothing to the US taxpayer.

If maga only had the brain capacity to know what is truly going on with this administration. But alas, they are in a canoe going over the Falls without a paddle still hoping trump thinks for them. Poor lost souls

They are not conservatives.

fascism noun A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

qualcomm, et al., not amused.

Huh? The words are the words of English but the meaning is not from this planet!
