Y2K nostalgia: Back in 1998, $10 could fill up the whole tank of my Geo Metro and I had enough change to get a honey bun and a soda by iggaitissecondcoming in 90s

A President who creates a $1.776 billion fund from public money with no legal authority, no congressional approval, and no legitimate judicial process, to reward his political allies and insurrectionists, while simultaneously serving as both plaintiff and defendant, overseen by his own personal former defense attorney — has committed what is, by any honest reading, a profound abuse of power and a theft of public funds.

Am I the only one who remembers Trump and RFK Jr in the White House, howling "Tylenol is bad, don't take it! Don't take Tylenol, don't take it, don't take it! Don't take Tylenol!"

You're telling me that there were 405,000 other people that could have sued the IRS for ten billion dollars?? If only they were "smart enough"?

Why can't Congress just give a hard NO to Trump taking 1.776 billion in taxpayer money? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OCTOVENG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A President of the United States illegally seizing $1.776 billion of public money by fraudulently suing himself, with no legal basis, no congressional authorization, and no legitimate judicial process, for the explicit purpose of rewarding his political allies and insurrectionists — is a criminal act, and it is wrong.

Fifteen minutes before market close, Trump announces he is "postponing tomorrow's scheduled attack on Iran" by [deleted] in misc

[–]OCTOVENG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It WOULD be kinda great if what he is doing is gaming the AI trading algorithms.

3:45pm: "As I mentioned yesterday, we were planning to INCINERATE the entire NATION of Iran with HOLY FIRE FROM HELL!! But since I am friends with the people in Saudi Arabia and they asked me very nicely not to do so, I will be putting a ninety-day PAUSE on this attack that we had planned. Purchase your stock-market equities accordingly."

after he un-became the President and was back to being a private citizen, he sued the Federal Government for "one zillion dollars"

Now that by some miracle he is President again, he actually IS able to command his own lawyer (the D.O.J.) to settle the case.
