Peter Thiel says he’ll leave California if they pass a 1% wealth tax on billionaires for five years. So… how much would it take to make him leave the U.S.?

Unlike Trump & Witkoff, most Americans aren’t seeking “amazing business opportunities” for US billionaires in Russia. We just want them to stop indiscriminately bombing civilians & end their barbarian war of aggression with their horde of convicts, rapists & foreign mercenaries.

To play politics with that is unconscionable. It would be one thing if these were cases of underperformance, but many of those being laid off have stellar reviews and decades of service. This isn’t reform; it’s retribution. And it’s wrong.

These terminations will impact both Democrats and Republicans alike, thousands of dedicated public servants who have spent their careers working for the good of the nation.
A job isn’t “nothing.” It’s how people support their families, pay their bills, buy food, and put their kids through school.

How very unfortunate that Bill Owens, a man of great integrity, didn’t have the freedom to continue to do his job ethically.
The reason is simple; Trump, being the criminal he is, demands the facts & truth not be presented.
Are all networks now going to mirror Fox & Newsmax?
