Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

The US Nazi-oligarchs.

No shit Sherlock.

You're still one of the world's most evil people, we can only hope history accurately reflects you.

This is him trying to cover his tracks. Bet he was a big influence on the decision to do it.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 6 points 2 hours ago

Of course he was.

Remember the 34th rule of acquisition: war is good for business.

Especially if your business is the largest global sigint corporation with fingers in every single pie AND piehole (probably, and hopefully, not your PiHole).

The Iran war plus all the civil unrest that comes with it are just great excuses to funnel more govt money into Palantir and expand their reach internationally and in the US.

Of course Peter Thiel, one of the worst ghouls of this century, would support it.

Just not publicly because public opinion is against it, and he needs klooges who will gladly support his Evil Inc.

Of all the heads headed for baskets, I'm most excited for him to get what's coming to him.

I hate to rain on your parade, but nothing is coming for any billionaires: they own all branches of government and they own the press.

It would take a revolution to overthrow the Epstein class, and that ain't gonna happen in a nation of fat morons.

Kings and peasants alike are just made of meat at the end of the day, and if you poke them they spill out.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Except Americans aren't willing to poke them, they're just willing to replace them with "lesser evil" billionaires and Epstein class neo-liberal monsters. No revolution on the horizon, just slow fascism down and pat themselves on the back.

Global revolution has started, it'll spread across nations

I still have faith in them I guess

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Probably fucking with his plans for weirdoes like him and Curtis Yarvin and Musk to do away with democracy and enact the Network State.

[–] BooBees@fedinsfw.app 11 points 10 hours ago

Definitely. He needs the power split at worst, not entirely in the hands of Dems or even worse, progressives. Investigations will destroy his progress if they’re successful.

All the billionaires are probably annoyed with the orange pedo, because all that Eptein files and warmongering nonsense pisses off voters and gets in the way of the planned destruction of democracy. They're so close! Why did he have to do that?
