The nursing home industry just showed us exactly how it's done, and the paper trail is stunning.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

This is weak tea, and not unexpected from Congressional Democrats, especially Congressional Democrats beholden to the pro-Israel lobby that also funds Trump and many other GOP politicians.
No more funding for ICE under any circumstances is the only appropriate position. Vote out AIPAC Dems.

NEW: This week is the 50-year anniversary of the money-is-speech Supreme Court case engineered by John Bolton & bankrolled by Charles Koch - a case culminating in Citizens United.
After 50 years of endemic corruption, a new poll shows almost nobody in America thinks buying elections is free speech.

Poll: Almost Nobody Thinks Buying Elections Is Free Speech
On this week's 50-year anniversary of the Buckley case engineered by John Bolton & other master planners, most voters reject the idea that money is speech. That awareness can now boost new solutions.
