Yay freedom of speech. They did just prove that the 1st amendment applies only to the government, not private social media. But wait. Doesn't Musk work for the government? How does that apply?
TexasVulcan (@texasvulcan.bsky.social) reply parent
A lot happened since Trump 1.0. At that time, the idea was to bring manufacturing to North America. And many did just that. What the fuck is going on when Trump 2.0 refuses to honor "the best trade deal ever" from Trump 1.0? Hint: Remember something called USMCA?

I agree. Tax the rich. But what we need is also a wealth tax. Pay 1% or your net worth annually on every dollar over 1 billion.

These people still do not believe Trump is a criminal or corrupt. They are morons. 2 impeachments, the Jan 6 insurrection, 4 indictments and 34 felony convictions were not enough to convince them.

We have legalized bribery in the US. Campaign "contributions" and lobbyist "gifts" are very much the problem. But don't look for Congress to demand or even allow a change to the system that got them where they are today.

TexasVulcan (@texasvulcan.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not sure why it matters. Trump never honors even his own agreements. I see no reason other countries should ever trust the US again. Some new a$$hole president comes along and just destroys what came before.

She even had a security detail with her. This entire administration is populated with incompetents. But then, these people were not hired for competence, but for loyalty to Trump.
TexasVulcan (@texasvulcan.bsky.social) reply parent
Donald Trump has decided that competence, honesty and independence is not needed. Only personal loyalty to Trump himself is important. This is how we got an incompetent and dishonest cabinet.

I propose a WEALTH TAX. If your assets are over 1 billion dollars, you will be annually required to pay 1% of all assets over 1 billion. If your net worth is 101 billion dollars, your payment would be 1 billion dollars. People like Musk can easily afford this.
