Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too.

This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters.

Oligarchy.

Translation: in his own words, Johnson got Musk’s approval on the bill tonight about 15 minutes BEFORE he talked to Trump.

Now that tells us the real story.

An unelected oligarch is calling the shots.

I served as a US ambassador and know hundreds of others

Never met one before who hired a prostitute to seduce their brother-in-law or sent a videotape of the encounter to their sister

Or who committed 18 felonies & was pardoned by another in-law

I guess the job qualifications are changing…

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.
