Trump's oligarch cabinet is estimated to be worth a combined $340bn. Trump’s “government by the billionaires for the billionaires” goal is to provide huge tax cuts for the super-rich, to be achieved at the cost of slashing services such as education, social security and Medicaid. #spookyconnection
The crazy thing is Maga defends his choices as brilliant. They believe his picks are benevolent patriots wanting to make America great.
That would put a good dent in the national debt

Fuck with the people for long enough and the people are gonna fuck you right back.. we’ve seen it time and time again throughout history.
Exactly. Just ask King Louis XVI.
There's gonna be so much cake, you'll get tired of cake. Nobody knows as much about cake as I do, a lot of people say "Sir, you should be a pastry chef" and maybe I will one day. You know who doesn't understand cake? Crooked Comrade Ka-mah-lah. Wants to give cake to trans immigrants in prison.
Did they have tears in their eyes when they said that? I bet there were tears.
And a standing ovation.
Is it bad to say they deserve it?
You fat americans like money very much.
evil AF
Let the trickling begin!
Fucking thieves. That is our fucking money.
See, that's peasant thinking. Until that thinking has has enough. What are we going to do about it?
Can we eat the rich yet?
I wonder whose best interests they have in mind... The level of corruption we are going to witness is going to be mind-blowing.
But this is where the joke is, supporters think they will be good for the country, if they do as good for the country as they did for themselves it’s going to be great, but that’s not how it works, they got rich because they’re fucking gullible people like them.
40 yrs of GOP's Trickle-down, Socialistic experiment to "redistribute wealth" from the masses to the elites via Govt tax policy has the vast majority living paycheck to paycheck, saddled in some form of debt, paying 15-25% of family disposable income to those financial elites. Mission Accomplished.
If you don't wanna pay US taxes then fuckin' leave it. You don't wanna pay for your government then get the fuck out of OUR (taxpayers) country.
those who want too much ... ... might end up with nothing
The oligarchy believes that citizens are merely employees, and there won't be any unemployment payments. They'll live in their compounds while we peons can walk among the corpses.
Surely it’s time to break out the guillotines
How it might end.
It should, if we were a just society. We're not.
The swamp just became an ocean. Jets see orange pustule drain that.
What is the number if Elon is taken out?
I don’t think they are counting Elon. Prob not Vivek, either. Elon is worth more than that whole figure now, and neither are in the orange r*pists cabinet proper.
Wikipedia: elon is worth “US$362 billion as of December 2024, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, and $344 billion according to Forbes.”

Sounds about right. Appoint people who don’t understand civics or public service to public service.
I can't believe where we are in this country right now!! We are literally watching our democracy die!
Honestly, this is why I don't mind Congress being paid competitive wages and why we need to tax the living sht out of the rich. This imbalance of power doesn't make for sound policy...
Ever notice that while multi-millionaires and billionaires know how to make money, they all have to have trophy wives and can't find real love? They would say others all want their money. I would say they all love nothing but their money.
What a surprise
It would be really great if news organizations would use pictures of the actual cabinet nominees who are billionaires. Muskaswamy are merely advisory. Their “department” doesn’t even exist.
The billionaires are the puppeteers. The identities of the puppets are largely irrelevant.
I mean, why not give them unlimited power. They’re rich so they must be good people… with out best interest in mind. Right?
we may soon be researching Spain, France, Balkans & taking pages out of their handbooks, nod nod wink wink
Time to ditch American T bonds, stock, land, and USD.
Is it 1928?
Sure starting to look like it.
Somebody needs to point out the following to them... Of course facts are meaningless when you real goal is to consolidate as much power and money as you can into the fewest possible hands.
Typical Americans here. Totally. Not.
Unelected people weld power like cabinet ministers that act on behalf of their financial interests before trump takes office & installs Project2025, permanently. All this evil because the majority of Americans prefer neofascism to Democracy. Hope the cost of eggs, gas, & rent skyrockets bigly.
Right. The people here actually think.
I still can’t believe he won!
The people's people. 😂
All those living on the edge here in rural Pennsylvania voted for these conmen.
It's ghastly apparent that our world's rich are hell bent on committing war against the poor, using the world's conservative parties as their war tool. Trump is a glaring indicator. How dare we poor work for a decent life? Aren't we here only to serve the rich's whims?
Substitute "surf" for "serve" and I think you're onto something.
You're correct. After the advent of the Internet, with instantaneous communication, these psychopaths are able to coordinate in real time. There is literally a global conspiracy of oligarchs. They want to rule the planet. Shadowrun, the RPG, is here.
Use us, exploit us, discard us, disrespect us, ignore us, leave us to die, but above all else, punish us for not bowing down to you, the rich. That's the plan. Trump and his supporters, i.e., those willing to grovel at the rich's feet for their crumbs, will carry it out in the U.S.
We are seeing the Constitution being replaced by Articles of Incorporation. This is USA, Inc.
Entitled fascist immigrants running the GOP. Can’t make this stuff up
Where’s the UnitedHealth ceo killer when we need him?
