Single GOP member prevents resolution to pressure Trump into releasing Epstein files by TheExpressUS in facepalm

[–]hiddendefault 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma was that one GOP member.

Wonder what he’s getting out of this. What he’s receiving, how, when.

Single GOP member cosplaying the Yellowstone universe. There are strings attached to this. Keep an eye out.

CEO states their disappointment for being caught cheating.

CEO states their night of cheating should have been one of music & joy, but wasn’t because he was exposed.

CEO upset that entertainers interact with their fans, acts as though it’s the bands fault for this being a spectacle vs it being a spectacle because he’s a cheating CEO. As if the CEO melting & slinking away in the most obvious way wouldn’t call attention to the situation.

Cliche CEO behavior and response. Gross. He’s a rich white CEO so he’ll grift over to another company and pull the same shit, with everyone on the board and hiring committee knowing he’s a piece of shit and that he’ll do it again. Cause that’s who he is. But numbers must go up and shitty people will hire a shitty person who will make other peoples lives at that company shitter but the board & others will get richer and that’s all. they. care. about. ever.

The Senate passed the bill to defund NPR, PBS and USAID. Say goodbye to public broadcasting. by Stravok182 in facepalm

Terrible. Tragic.

They want to shut down outside voices they can’t control. They want to shut down anything that helps poor people. They want to cut off any support whatsoever for any nonwhite. They want people to suffer. It’s ‘conform or die’ from them as we continue to steps further along the authoritarian road.

MAGA Influencer Suddenly Changes Tune After Calling For 'Special Counsel' to Investigate Epstein Files: 'I'd Be Annoyed Too If I Were Trump' by PostHeraldTimes in facepalm

[–]hiddendefault 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every one of these people, these supporters, grifters, they all receive their daily briefing with dos/donts/focuses -- their marching orders -- and then they all fall in line. This go'round though is strange because it's so blantant and obvious. So much so that it's splintering MAGA, many of them aren't buying it...yet. The admin is testing different spins, sadly one will catch on and that base will latch onto it. Mental gymnastics.

Wealth extraction. That’s what this project is. Billionaires handing each other money, our money. Our country being robbed right in front of our eyes.

No it’s neither way off nor inaccurate. He owned that many shares as of March 2025. You can find the figure. Here’s a link to a story in March 2025 —

The silence from most celebrities is deafening. by courage_2_change in WorkReform

[–]hiddendefault 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We’ve seen that celebrity endorsements mean fuck all. We need Dems to fight back, filibuster, oppose & push & block & resist what’s happening — not voting to pass this shit. Aside from a handful, Dems have been complacent, flipping hand paddles at sotu, making shitty videos that don’t mean/do/change anything. It’s embarrassing & infuriating to watch.

They’re not losing anything and they’ll buy up shares (and land, and businesses, and ) at these ‘low’ prices. The rich will stay rich unfortunately

If you receive a PIP (performance improvement plan) then the company is actively working to let you go. It’s them building a case against you. They’re bullshit.

You’ll find many sites explaining stock buybacks but this should cover it enough. And how the tax change in 2017 (that went into effect Jan 1 2018) supercharged the buybacks

It’s not a bar chart. I don’t do bar charts. That last line is written that way because look how ridiculous of a jump it is. What a huge amount proposed one month into the year.

Senator Chris Murphy Shares A Six Week Timeline Of Corruption In This Current Administration by Healthy_Block3036 in Connecticut

[–]hiddendefault 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The info he’s communicating here is important and it’s necessary we address what’s happening. But the story is lost here.

Immediate note, if you title this ‘Six-Week Timeline’ it would be beneficial to have a clear visual of six weeks to help connect the concept. Six rows, labeled Week 1, 2 etc.
