That woman has low standards when picking for a rich person to go with.

So much for “government efficiency”.

I guess Squid Game’s thesis that rich people do stupid things for their own bemusement is true.

Isn’t it a good thing that this bureaucracy, which so many rail against, is what keeps corporate-fascism in check?

I have been thinking, even though there are genuinely tone deaf, smug, urban elite centrist Democrats who call everyone who disagrees with them as plain stupid-- instead of acknowledging that the once reliable working-class and rural voters that supported Democrats felt abandoned by jobs outsourcing went over to the Republicans-- I reckon some accounts are also bots to amplify this disdain by centrist Democrats on the conservative-voting working-class, in order to further widen the partisan gap.

So much had been reported of Russia funding far-right populist parties, but there is also Russia funding the left or at least being suspiciously friendly. Putin is cosy with the former centre left German chancellor, Gerhard Schroder, who have worked in Russian energy firms. Jill Stein rob votes from Democrats during presidential elections and she is hesitant to call Putin a dictator (like Trump). Many far-left parties in Europe also either have warm or ambivalent feeling towards Russia, and are reluctant to support Ukraine.

Unlike during the Cold War when the Soviet Union solely funded radical far-left groups (while the US supported right wing dictatorships), the current meddling and psy-ops from current Russia don’t have any ideological preference to support in order to destabilise the West. Russia simply throws all the wrench they could get into the machine.

I swear that guy is stuck in the 90s with his obsession with the letter “X”. Probably because it still taboo to officially call something “SS” in spite of him doing Nazi salute.

Elon just started an AI start-up (can anyone guess the name?), and his obtrusion into government data is to train the AI of his new company.

Judging from the article, my suspicion is they are going to use the data to train AI, to eventually replace human workers. It is not to justify one’s self to not be fired, it is to allow the AI to replace them.

‘we need to be above that’. Where has that message come from?

From the same oligarchs who wants people to remain passive.

I have been thinking that the US military is probably the final stop on Trump because they have been somewhat more rational. Well, as expected, it will no longer be the case.

Oligarchs are not unified. Some companies are heavily disaffected like pharmaceuticals thanks to RFK. Tariffs will also hurt most businesses’ bottomline. Trump’s policies only benefit certain oligarchs (tech companies and Musk) so the other oligarchs who get pissed off will band together to support someone friendlier.
