If you’re wondering why the oligarchs propping up a regime would put so much effort into dividing citizens into a zero-sum set of factions, their freedom to engage in rank corruption and profiteering just might have something to do with it.

I will say it again. Any legislator who accepts funding from a party commits to representing that party if voted in. Otherwise, they will be sued for fraud and required to pay back every donor every cent plus interest.

There is absolutely no doubt that Elon Musk is a Nazi and an anti-semite -- and he is the President-elect of the United States. This is beyond concerning.
I beg you to re-post this so that every single American is aware of the fact that Musk is a Nazi and that his colleagues are, too.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.
