Let's not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

This is billionaires fighting. Notice how pathetic they both are.

Lol, Trump is only a billionaire because he has the US Treasury. Without that, he's very likely broke.

My comment was literally saying that the only wealth he has was because he's in power.

5

He wasn't a billionaire before becoming president, but he certainly is now. The grifting has been blatant and enormous.

I picked up a phrase today, "the grotesquely wealthy." How pathetic the squabbles of the grotesquely wealthy.

Thank you for the link.

The full page, and explanation at the bottom captures the thinking. (I don't expect perfection from humans. I would like us to work on improving.)

Or almost like a shambolic Sturmabteilung. I was honestly surprised the J6 crowd was pardoned, figured they were no longer necessary and headed straight under the nearest bus.

I can't wait for Trump to deport Elon and Elon release everything he knows about how the 2024 election was stolen.

Plus Epstein.

Edit: what I mean by this is that while his hackers were doing their work, you don't think they managed to get those files while having basically unlimited access?

24

That would be insane from separation of power perspective (which admittedly doesn't look great, but we're not at that point yet).

Because it's so many victims, Epstein was federal, and this means it's in the hands of the FBI, although they would probably have a dedicated team just for this.

But the FBI only interfaces with the DOJ in that regard afaik, so the president should have no say in this. And another agency most definitely does not unless this interjects government processes of those agencies, which it does not.

Because of all the shenanigans going on we can never be 100% sure but this has layers of separation from DOGE.

'The girls are fighting, aren't they?' is an AOC quote.

I like AOC a lot but she's not my unequivocal blueprint on how to be.

Hey Bytes, I'm getting reports on the title. I don't think it's take down worthy, but it would be great for the community if you changed the title to something else. Downvote me if you want it to stay as is.

It's a quote from AOC. Fair enough. Not everyone is into the political memes of it all.

Thanks Bytes, I forgot about that. We've been getting a lot of trolls testing shit too. I apologize, but it's on that line and I really don't know what I'm doing, lol.

Black eye from "his kid punching him after he dared him to".

Likely actually from falling and smacking his face during a K-hole.

Escalate in this case means engaging in the fight and adding fuel to the fire, not appealing to a higher authority.

Like when a cop shows up to a littering call and pulls their gun out.

Probably the "Big Beautiful Ugly Bill", which is very unpopular, so they are trying to ram it through the house as quickly as possible.

17

With plenty of money going to Trump's personal gang of thugs:

ICE’s current annual budget is around $10 billion. Under the version of the bill that passed the Senate, the agency would receive an infusion of more than $100 billion through 2029:

I just really want that election interference case to speed up but I read somewhere next court date is in September.

We’re screwed as a country if it takes that long and we come to find out that both cheated and aided Russia to fully infiltrate our government databases.

lol if you think that court cases still matter.

There is no one left in the government that would dare to actually enforce a verdict against Trump.

Yeah, I only see two ways off this train at this point.

1- they fail to rig the next election and get voted out so overwhelmingly that they fail to fight it...

2- military coup. If some number of military officials take their paths to the Constitution seriously and decide to act to defend it.

If not one of those, then hopefully the regime doesn't last long and we collapse like the USSR did.

conveniently occurs right as they passed the BBB, its nothing more than a distraction to the disastourous bill.

He’s only refraining for now cuz what he has would jail him for being a part of it. He’s waiting til there’s no hope left but to go to jail.

Which just means things will get a lot worse now that they passed the bill.

11

I mean… he could also just take a private jet out of the US and do all his evil mastermind schemes over a Zoom call

No. Grown fucking men who should be doing this in private are fighting.

Wasn't their last spat just a distraction from larger news?

Wonder what they're "look at the birdy-ing" about now.

What does this have to do with girls? Of course the person posting to the racist community “whitepeopletwitter” is also a sexist pig.

I assumed correctly and they updated their title after getting called out.

They updated cause they were asked to nicely by people that aren't you.

Why are you in the racist community?

1

Because it's not racist it's a meme community and you are being immature and reactionary. Though I suspect you want the fight to feel good about yourself.

Ehh. Lame and so is this whole shtick you are doing.
