Better on the inside of the tent pissing out than outside pissing in.
Zuckerbuck is just cozying up to PDJT to hopefully avoid being arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced to a VERY long prison term for rigging the 2020 election.
The tech oligarchs want Indian indentured servants. Will they get them? I think probably not.
“Techie guys aside”??
Why should techie guys dodge scrutiny? For years they were a corrupt, malignant force in American society, but now all is sweetness and light since they’re writing checks to the Inauguration?
Zuckerberg spent $300 million stealing the last election. Did we forget that? He belongs hanging from a noose for sedition.
Yep don’t trust them. They are all Trojan horses.
elon musk has hired and employs more people than steve bannon...
(Zuckerberg spent $300 million stealing the last election.)
It was actually $400 million for ballot harvesting and drop boxes.
I meant I wasn’t arguing about techies, just noting Bannon’s ongoing nervous breakdown, which has gotten tiresome. I think he’s jealous of Musk, who has taken his spot as court jester.
Duh.
Almost everyone is like that. That is politics since there was politics. This is transactional business and politics that Trump knows extremely well. The odd part was the situation pre-2024, where there was a system to place a thumb on the scales to prevent the resolution of ordinary transactional politics, through a regime of systematic government threats.
I’m not clear what Bannon wants - an altruistic commitment? Somehow?
So does George Soros. So what?
They are powerful men with their own interests and agendas.
The rulers job is to make deals with them, and enforce them.
Absolutely no different from the case of a medieval monarch and his barons. Total “Game of Thrones”. This is normal, no matter what silly civics textbooks say.
This is why Bannon is where he is.
I don’t see how we were better off with the previous status quo than we are with the new pretenses (if that’s what they are).
This Game of Thrones imagery is, pardon me, the stuff of fantasy.
The might of a unified Presidency and Congress is sufficient to rein in the oligarchs. These tech billionaires can provide President Trump with nothing he cannot accomplish without them.
Meanwhile, the idea of “partnership” means that they get to exploit the American people for another four years. And that is what their empires are built on: exploitation. I don’t want them as partners, barons, or vassals.
“This is why Bannon is where he is.”
Yup. He’s heading for his 19th nervous breakdown...or a stroke.
Everything is pretense, always has been, always will be. We are humans and we suck. The trick is to manage this mess of power games such that things continue to run and things get better.
“These tech billionaires can provide President Trump with nothing he cannot accomplish without them.”
But they can give him something very important. They can refrain from financing his enemies.
