For the havoc his Manchurian candidate, Donald Trump, has wreaked on our nation.
I hope he gets his just desserts in spades, once Trump is removed from office and actual Americans regain control.

(12,712 posts)he is currently estimated to have a net worth of around $80-billion dollars which is just below the wealthiest person, Bill Gates at $84 billion. Some say it could be more, but you get the point.
Right now, the gig of authoritarian pays extremely well and you can even have gold flaked toilet paper if you want. He is a member of the Oligarch club and we aren't invited. That seems to be rewarding, overall.
Maybe he will get a bad hangnail or something? Maybe a bad dessert after dinner?

(12,712 posts)Gee, it is so hard to keep up with the billions upon billions that the Oligarchy is sucking in, huh?
I wonder if it has anything to do with how things go for the rest of us? Oh, no, that's capitalism not a class war.
So, Bezo's is top dog. I think that's part of the game. Not just the luxury, acquisitions and power, but oneupmanship. What fun!

(6,918 posts)These oligarch guys stole every government asset formerly owned by the USSR when it dissolved. They made big bucks scooping up business assets for nothing, its thievery on a country-wide scale.
And thats the level of thievery the Trump family aspiresthey want to ripoff the entire United States of America and its land assets.

Putin knows he has to play along with the Chinese or he will eventually lose all of Siberia.
As the planet warms, where are 1.5B Chinese gonna go? North to Siberia.

If Putin does something, it has the clearance of Beijing.

(9,670 posts)The relentless disinformation that is pumped viciously at the people is a root cause of Trumpism. Every single mouthpiece is a traitor worthy of statutory punishment.
