His Bored of Peace that he’s asking $5 billion for a seat that goes straight to his Qatari bank account.

Ya’ll Americans getting fucked and no one has the guns to do anything about it.

    That’s half of USAID’s budget.

    Cutting USAID is by far the most heneious and evil thing Trump has done in his entire time invading our space, and it gets maybe the least attention. The death-toll is already in the hundreds of thousands, immediate consequence of a performative decision that cost us next to nothing compared to other spending.

    Hundreds of thousands of children, of families, grandmothers and brothers and sisters, people’s wives and husbands and newborn babies. All just people just trying to survive a harsh world, cut off from medicine and nutrition and safe water and dying slowly in their family homes, tents or streets.

    We are never going to see more than maybe a Frontline documentary on how horrific this act was, but the fact that we have a world that allows for one person who can just sign a squiggle on paper and watch millions of people die for fun should have us on the streets with high explosive devices.

    “Trump reveals he can do whatever he wants and 45% of americans will think he’s super smart while the other 55% wont care.”

      I’ve seen a lot of talk around this on a few different platforms, if enough people actually do so there’s potential for real and significant effect. I honestly don’t even know what the reaction from the admin would be. There simply are not enough IRS agents to police an and process a tax protest. I guess they could throw everyone that doesnt pay in the death camps they are building but that seems shortsighted

        Project 2025 was bandying about something about a “sustainable population” of the US being 150 million people max, so it sounds like they want an excuse to kill about 250 million of us.

    There is one other source of money Trump could potentially dip into. The president previously sold permanent seats on his board for $1 billion a head, but refused to say where that money was going.

    WTF. This almost seems more important.

      It will would be if he wasn’t taking $10B of US tax payer money for his secret Qatari slush account.

      If ya’ll ever get out from under this fascist government, should demand all the money hidden away in Qatar and if its not, well that’s what aircraft carriers are for.

    Or is it going straight to Trump’s pocket via some offshore bank account based in Qatar? We may never know.

    I was looking for evidence of this, but can’t find it yet so I can’t argue with magas that it’s what is happening.

    For the seized Venezuelan oil assets though, that apparently is going directly to his account in Qatar so it really isn’t a stretch to believe this board of scam peace money is too… I just wish we had proof so I could use it in an argument.

      Stop trying to take the moral high ground and just argue in their style, without facts and pure accusations.

        Because of they go and “verify” what I say and it’s found to be wrong that just cements in their mind that “we” just lie and have no idea what we’re talking about. It makes any future arguments even harder because it reinforces the idea in their minds that “we’re” always wrong.

    That is what I was wondering myself. The EU sent a representative, much to the dismay of Macron. Does that mean they paid billions for the privilege of being there? That’d be a scandal in my eyes.

    So there was this book that was published a few years ago and the first 3 pages were devoted to the life of a squirrel…I had to trip acid to realize the book was intended to start like that. Before you can comment on today’s sociey, you must read ‘The Illumantis Trilogy’. If you don’t, it isn’t funny…

    Many of us have the guns to do something about it (please don’t change your post text, lol) but do not want to unlawfully use those guns as we may be incarcerated for making that choice.

      I have my guns to protect against tyranny, but it’s illegal to stand against tyranny. Maybe we should petition the courts for a revolution.
