Krasnov/Musk Have 2 Goals For America

1. Krasnov wants to become the richest person in the world and Putin is allowing him to do that. Krasnov is going to privatize everything and put the money in his Sovereign Wealth Fund. He will use his tariff scam to make money bribing other countries. Quid pro quos.

2. President Musk is more concerned with destroying our democracy and creating a dictatorship that will last for generations.
People must be pretty stupid in math. Musk is going to destroy our social safety net, going to cut 2 trillion dollars in money that goes to the poor and working class. Meanwhile, Musk is going to give billionaires a 4.7 trillion dollar tax cut and that plan friends does nothing to reduce the deficit, it greatly increases it.

Musk is installing the Horse and Sparrow economy; Feed the horse more oats and the sparrows will have plenty to eat.

I still wish that Democrats had done town halls last night. It is going to be up to us, the people, to throw out the billionaires. Please Democrats, get organized, and every one of you do town halls, we need a people movement, we cannot depend on the courts.

TIME MATTERS. We are beyond stage 1 of turning into a dictatorship.

But, as I very rarely do, I disagree with you on Krasnov's motives. We didn't elect him in 2020. We told him no. No one tells him no. So now he's going to destroy us.

He LOVES to destroy things. I read once about when he was a kid, if another kid built a sand castle, he was the little shit who had to step on it. In New York, he had to bankrupt all the companies that worked with him. In Atlantic City, he destroyed the whole city.

Now he has the biggest playground imaginable, and he's going to town on it.

Michael Cohen stated that Krasnov wants to be the richest person in the world. His motives are most certainly retribution, he still hasn't gotten over the beat down that President Obama gave him at the correspondence dinner. When Krasnov destroys Medicaid he is hurting more Magats than people who voted against him. I do agree that he will try to hurt blue states more than red states.

Krasnov is a mentally ill, not healthy, Narcissist, who is definitely on a retribution purge and he won't be that discriminate who he bankrupts or murders.

I am sure his good buddy MBS put him on to the Sovereign Wealth Fund scam to steal all of our money. The Supreme Court is allowing him to control the purse strings instead of Congress. A lot of money will go to him from his privatizations. People like Bezos and Zuckerberg had to kiss his ass or he would have taken their money.

Can you imagine what an ego that must be, that a small slight like that requires this kind of response?

So it is not a
"Trickle down economy ..."

It is a
"Horse and sparrow economy"

The rich eat the oats,... the less than rich - eat their shit. No wonder everything has such a bitter taste about all this. RESIST !

That's what it was called back then. Reagan used the very same plan but changed the name to "Trickle Down" economics to make the shit seem more palatable.

he's got a ways to go and speaking as a 76-year old who is actually fit and healthy, even I know that at his age and my age, our years are numbered.

My prediction is that even if at some point - and that's a ways down the road yet - he reaches that "milestone" of being the richest one in the world, he'll be pushing up daisies on his crappy golf course or so demented (he's on his way to that for sure) that he won't even know it.

Pleonexia, sometimes called pleonexy, originating from Greek, is a philosophical concept which roughly corresponds to greed, covetousness, or avarice, and is strictly defined as "the insatiable desire to have what rightfully belongs to others."

already past the point of no return. Not much different than they are doing to the earth's environment with all the Global Warning the same crowd says doesn't exist.

It is getting to the point, where the only thing that can stop it is a Military Coup. But they have already thought of that. Trump is waiting for us to all demonstrate and riot, so he can utilize the "Insurrection Act" to use our military to establish Marshall Law across the entire nation using the U.S. Military......He has already started working in that direction with using the U.S. Military and National Guard at the Mexican Border, with thousands and thousands of troops so far, and he just sent ANOTHER 3000 U.S. Military, a few days ago.

I'm more crotchety than I ever was since VonSchitzInPants won the election and my confidence in our younger generations is practically nil.

Cuts to veterans benefits and VA health care coupled with dismantling SS and Medicare are going to unleash a creaky arthritic don't give a FUCK horde on VonSchitzInPants and his c-sucking minions IMO.
