And did Obama start his own solar company and then shape law and regulations to benefit himself and his family? No he didn't. Trump did with Crypto.

Economic and public finance vandals.

So did anyone have “US becomes a communist country” on their 2025 bingo card?

No. Dictatorship, yes.

The next Dem president needs to take the maga playbook and use it for empowering ALL Americans, fix oureconomy, fix ourinstitutions, and when the fox noise, maga crowd starts whining and crying, tell them to royally fuck off.

I sure would like to see this man b**ch slapped to take that smug, condescending smile off his lying face

Ah yes, Solyndra, whose Fremont factory became Tesla.

More mumbo jumbo. It's called fascism.

Those days were quaint n comparison.

this is ACTUAL communism folks

Truth. gop has shown themselves to be hypocrites who care only for power and control

So communism… I mean why not.. The Republican Party has flipped to now supporting.. Russia Pardoning cop killers Fucking children

Why 10%? Why not 100%?

Yep, "Solyndra!" was their battlecry.

Crony Capitalism, right?

Cash for Clunkers was, at the time, the biggest scandal in the history of capitalism

These fuckers *still* talk about Solyndra and Trump just randomly pulled a 20x larger stake from Intel out of thin air and all the business guys are like "yup seems fine."

Remember the screeching when Obama floated the idea of punishing companies for the 2008 recession? Seems quaint now.

You see, Charles, Barak (Hussein!) Obama was not a successful businessman /s

They would not let the Solyndra misstep go away.

Hypocrites. Rules for thee but not for me.

Remembering is now against the law.

So many things to remember as we WATCHED all these CRY BABY BITCHES throw whole tantrums about ALL THINGS, now sit on the side of the road with their dirty thumbs in their mouths. The whole lot of the gang of pedophiles( GOP) are truly every slanderous word they hurl at people! Disgusting humans.

Shouldn’t a socialist country provide free healthcare for its citizens?

That’s illegal

It was racism then, it’s racism now.

IOKIYAR

Ok. If this is how they want to do it, President Pritzker is free to start taking shares of companies. And I don't see any reason why he'd be bound by agreements Trump made about how the government would use its share's voting power. SpaceX should belong to the government.

Trump could do a Starbucks salute while wearing a tan suit and they'd gush about how patriotic he is

It's only "soshalizum" when the Left does it

That was a 2-3 year Fox News scandal

This is wrong on so many levels -

And Intel isn't exactly "picking a winner", this bailout is no substitute for the years of R&D their competitors did to leapfrog them. Unless they have a time machine in the works.

The Magats don't see a contradiction because the only thing they believe in is power. The media doesn't point out a contradiction - in this or anything else - because they are owned by the Magats

It's only bad when a Democrat does it.

I've been a nihilist since 2016 and apparently so has everyone else.

Ain't no standards like double standards.

I remember when the Republican party said socialism was evil.

The crazy thing is when you look back and realize Republicans have always been this way

The truth is that we should be the world's #1 developers and builders of alternative energy. It would create thousands of well-paid jobs and an improvement in our GDP, and factory workers would develop high-tech skills. American investors would not look into other countries to create the solutions.

But Big Oil would cry when we're not buying their dino juices.

Greedys want to capitalize on our reserves, which apparently are the largest in the world.??? Funny, before the 2K, the US announced we were poor in crude and the little we had would be saved for national security.

Yup

Jade Helm was a touchy subject, too.

If he's talking about subsidies, and not going after the Oil companies, you know he's lying.

Obama was trying to ensure that America had a place in the solar industry. The government was not taking shares in corporations. What Trump is doing is not capitalism. It’s pocket lining.

Joe Kernan on CNBC brings up Solyndra daily as a reason why this is actually perfectly cool.

#ThisIsActualCommunism #BlameRepublicans

They legit stand for nothing other than power and greed. Wolves in sheep’s clothing. They were either lying then or are now - either way - abject hypocrites.

I remember @tpcarney.bsky.social tearing his garments over a tiny fraction of this, but now it’s made clear to him that his family’s continued welfare relies on him toning it down, finding a false equivalence and mostly just finding other things to talk about

You know what? The next Democratic administration will have an excuse to start picking winners and losers. And all Republicans can do is scream socialism. But the man they worshipped setup that precedent.

Don’t forget about Romney writing that Detroit should just go bankrupt

He was torn to shreds for wearing a tan suit. That’s how stupid this is.

That’s conservatism for you: jealous, short-sighted, and wildly unprincipled.

This guy makes me sick. He’s such a little Trump weezle

Putin did this in Russia
