Take Down Tesla! Smash Space X! Twat Musk's Twitter!

If we can bankrupt the Muskrat, we can do the same to the rest of the billionaires. #EatTheRich

It's delicious watching the stock drop and the interview with Larry Cudlow where Elon began to tear up. Together 'we the people' have all the power. We need to understand that and then use that power for good.

Mark, sorry, but I don’t find it delicious to watch stocks drop. I have meager investments (30k) and it’s all I have to my name. This was an inheritance from my mother: I’ve never had a job in which I could actually save money ( my highest pay was $10 an hour.) I’m regularly losing a couple grand a month. That’s a LOT of money for someone whose only income is SS.

That being said, what ever happened to being content with what you have? How many billions do people NEED? Hubs and I are happy enough to be able to pay the bills, have enough to eat, and maybe have a bit left. Our home, which we built ourselves, is long paid for.

Another point: why the fuck should ANYone support Jamie Raskin? He’s a Ziofuck!

Oh, watching Musk's stocks drop is both delicious and much needed.

I agree with all your points and identify with many. All the Congressional Democrats -- and Republicans, with the exception of Rep. Massie -- are bought-off-n-paid sniveling little Ziofucks. That said, Raskin's call on the FOIA strategy is correct and might help slow/stop the looting of the government and protect our hard-earned benefits. On this issue he is right.

As to the greed issue, check in to the indigenous concept of Wetiko, which is thought of as a kind of mind and soul virus or infection that begins with consumption, goes to over consumption and ends in greedy self-destructiuon. It is the best model to explain the evil reprobates like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Trump and pretty much all of the corporate and DC political establishment.

Paul Levy has written some great books on the subject, and -- if we want to save and redeem ourselves -- should be studied. This is his latest book: "Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World"...

The problem is that liberals have always been more favourable to fascism than to socialism. They've always chosen fascism over socialism when forced to make a choice. For all their talk about compassion and caring, they will choose fascism over socialism every time.

You are absolutely correct. They and the Dems talk a good game and strut around in angel wings but when the chance to really help working class people and dial back the war machine happens they fold and bow to the monied corporate monsters. Barack Obama was one example, the sabotage of Sanders was another. The only reason FDR was able to push some real reform is the threat of revolution was in the air and the left -- the true socialist left -- was organized and shutting the country down with labor actions and strikes.

Examples please. When did this capitulation happen? Where?

I mention a couple in the comment above, but we could have an endless list. Back during the banking crisis millions of middle-class and Black families lost their homes because of Wall Street crime. Obama pushed through government funding to rescue Wall Street criminals and banks and let the generational wealth of millions of families evaporate. Obama took us from two wars to seven and said rather than investigating the Cheney/Bush crimes that led us to war in Afghanistan and Iraq, we needed to "look forward".

Hillary Clinton manufactured the war in Libya, which destroyed the country and to this day there are open-air slave markets.

Then we have Joe Biden who enacted the 30-year plan for a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine that has resulted in over a million dead and Ukraine shattered.

Then, we have Joe Biden and the Democrats falling into line at the orders of their Zionist donors to finance, arm and diplomatically cover one of the worst genocides in modern history ... which continues as I write with children regularly being shredded by our bombs and killed by snipers in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria and Lebanon.

I could go on ... and on, but I need to go get some fresh air.
