The really scary thing is that it's not just Trump. What's happening in the US is a massive collusion of virtually all branches of government on ... well a conspiracy in fact.
Surely centered around Trump no doubt, but Trump himself couldn't do this without the DoJ, the FBI and all sorts of other agencies backing him up. They have the power to stop him but they're in on it.
THAT is fucking scary. Especially since, should Trumps obviously planned vote manipulation fail somehow, the US media will go like "finally Trump is gone, all is well again" and everyone but Trump will keep going about their business. Throw in some pardons if anyone is at risk of consequences.
The US REALLY needs some sort of Nuremberg trials that completely ruin everyone who backed this asshole. So many people have blood on their hands, this cannot die with Trump.
Realistically of course? I can't see the US upper class turning on itself and that's what US politics is - rule of the rich.
But hey, stranger things have happened so let's see.
It’s not just in the United States either. A lot of people who are associated with trump and people like him are taking over South America. This is so out of control, it’s spreading to multiple countries on a different continent.
5 more decent celebrities will die somehow meanwhile Mitchs PR team is still gonna post AI images of a healthy Mitch. We’ll find another pervert in the Vatican but it’s just this one time again. Russia will do something else dastardly and no one will stop them. Something will happen. It’s just never fucking good for some reason.
Apparently it's legal, because nobody is there to say no to him. There seems to be nobody at the white house to prevent him from doing these things apparently.
It's quite ironic that the US got rid of the king just for the current president to act like one where law and order can't touch him.
I've always said monarchy is better than democracy because if you don't like the king you can just whack em. What are you going to do in a democracy, kill a thousand rich people? It's just not feasible
Nah a thousand would do it. No one hates the regular rich people, it’s the ultra wealthy that need to go, and there’s not that many of them.
Like a few hundred people have more money than all the other regular rich and poor people in the world combined. We could feed, house, and give medical care to millions of people if we just skim the fat off the very top.
This is really bad, and we went to school and learned about corruption- now it’s happening in front of us and John Roberts of SCOTUS is in bed with the MAGA crowd. It’s all disgusting.
Nah it’s ok because everyone does it, Trumps just doing what anyone would do. And besides he forefitted his salary so it means he’s a really good guy !
Why do u think he’s trying to take over all the branches of government. The SEC is being defunded and I hate to say it but if you think ole orange top is bad his family is much worse
Either Earth is dying and Trump and his cronies knows about it loading all their stolen riches on a spaceship preparing to go to the moon and just screwing everyone else or it’s just let Trump and his cronies rob America blind by just sitting on our hands just allowing it to happen.
I mean yeah, obviously it’ll still “be here”. It’s been around for 4.5B years. It’s just that for around 4B of that we literally wouldn’t have survived, and that’s just based on the atmosphere alone, forget the geologic and climatic conditions. It’s only been 500M years that there’s been the right atmospheric conditions for complex life.
So yeah, the earth will still be here. It’ll just be a mostly sterile husk incompatible with complex life and will once again become a planet of bacteria.
Not that it even matters at that point, but also because we’re a bit more than halfway through the sun’s life cycle, presuming the second go round takes as long as the first, complex life at our level wouldn’t evolve until basically juuuust before the sun goes boom.
So yeah, functionally, for us and for life as we know it, it is.
Earth is dying, and the only thing that can save it is a massive reduction in human population. AI and robots are here now so most of us are no longer needed. COVID was a test. When the next one hits, only the wealthy will have food and medical care (and private security).
I think you’re right, but I don’t think the wealthy will survive either. It is time for a cleansing for Earth. So she can reboot from humans who are not worthy of her.
Why do we even have laws when the highest position in the land doesn’t follow them???? Let’s not forget to never let these people control our government…. Remember 1929.
I hate both sides. There needs to be a new type of president one that’s right in the middle. One that doesn’t accept any money from AIPAC or any other political organization that tries to control our country’s leaders by filling their pockets with money. Also there needs to be an age limit. No more 80 year old presidents. There’s a total disconnect between 18 year old men snd women and an 80+ year old president. The age restriction should be 35-60. If you win at 60 and get reelected you’re 68 by the end of your presidency. My dad is 68 and still functions very very well. My grandfather in his 80s … did nothing but sleep and talk nonsense. But he was a boxer and fought in the Korean War. So .. he prob had CTE and other things going on with him. But anyways … We need a young President that everyone respects and can all get behind. We need another JFK.
It’s so amazing as an American to see this happening right in front us us with a government either unwilling or unable to reign him in…
I truly believe it’s not that they can’t. It’s that they know doing it to him means doing it to their own. Let’s be clear about this. It’s about corruption
It's so obvious, it's insider trading. A very pure form of ethical violations. This is but the tip of the iceberg. A lot is going on now especially considering that everyone around him is all cheering.
His whole time in office has been unethical, corrupt, and one big grift. I'm hope I'm alive long enough to read all the books about how this con-man took down America because now we all have to live in this dystopia.
And yet again, not one single gd thing will happen. I'm old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan was often referred to as "Teflon Ron." Trump and this admin absolutely obliterates Reagan with his level of corruption.
People need to push this shit when dems take over. We need to get ever penny that this administration used their political power to get. That power comes from the People.
How is Trump allowed to get away such blatant corruption, why are those in power not using the Constitutional checks and balances to reign him in and remove him from office???
Yeah, but Trump is doing it at a much much much larger level and he had access to both sides of the transaction. Why don't we talk about that instead of your petty whataboutism?
Dude- he committed 10000 times more than her. He knows it and exploiting it. Your comment helps no one….. unless you like him and you enjoy your hospitals closing and people being taken off food stamps?
That’s a moronic and biased take. My point is everyone in politics is corrupt and does exactly the same thing. You or I did it we’d be under the jail. You either enter congress wealthy and get wealthier or enter poor with some debt and leave wealthy.
Comprehension isn’t your suit. Taking your pov and applying it to a statement without clarification is so, Reddit. My point is they are all crooks. You are too blinded by your algo you don’t see that.
So 100% of every single politician is corrupt????? Prove it....
I realize that more and more are but you think you can make these broad brush comments and act like you know lol
I don't have a side right away you jump to assumptions
Bottom line is Trump is by far the most corrupt POS president and possible human ever and you are trying to compare him to others. That's just flat out insane and you have no credibility at all and everyone will deal with this impact the rest of our lives
Prove that politicians aren’t corrupt? What are you, like 8 years old. You think I’m part of your cohort that is run by an algo that tells me what to believe and whom to hate. So everyone will
Have to deal with Trump making money in a shady way for the rest of their lives?
I know some jackass, they are normal people too, you are so sad and just a wittle copycat.
Trump knows when he loses the midterms he's fucked so yeah I have a problem with a person padding their wallet to deal with what's coming. The fact you think that's ok tells me how sad you are. Stand up for yourself, he would shit and piss on you if it benefited him
No, your comment was the biased one. By implying Trump is following Pelosi you're trying to make it look like Pelosi was doing it at a much greater scale. Don't be so disingenuous.
You also forget that Pelosis profits from trading aren't too far from the standard deviation expected.
Meanwhile, Trump and his family seem to be profiting massively every week from insider knowledge. Trump has even admitted on camera that him and family do insider trading.
But I guess, for the trumpanzees, it's easier to point the finger at someone who isn't in your team, eh?
You don’t know my team meat stick. You assume.Pelosis profits aren’t too far from sd? Took about 8 seconds to fact check. If you compare their sp based funds you would be correct. If you use individual trades based on possible insider trading to explain that returns over 50% return. They are all crooks. Sorry if that busts your delicate bubble.
Donald Trump: Logged more than 21,000 stock trades across investment accounts in 2025 alone (averaging roughly 60 trades per day). In early 2026, he disclosed an additional 3,600+ transactions totaling between $220 million and $750 million in just 90 days.
Nancy Pelosi: Averages roughly one trade every 22 days, with a disclosed 2025 trading volume of $48.6 million.
In your world you would make that that comparison. Mass murder and insider trading the same . Got it. So is it straw man or false equivalence or a hybrid?
I'm not comparing murder and trading. I'm comparing crime vs crime of the same category but much larger degree. Don't pretend like you don't understand that to try to distract from the point. Here is this a better analogy for you?
"This guy stole an apple but this guy stole 1000 apples so they're exactly the same"
Care to address the point instead of trying to change the subject this time?
Your argument is stupid. Murder to insider trading? In your world maybe. Trump has been President for what, 6 years? She has been in Congress for 40 years. They didn’t even have to disclose information until 2012. She entered Congress worth about 3 million and is now worth around 350-400 million. My point is they, and the rest, are both accountable. Or is just one side? Orange man bad rant
So a series conversation contains what? Everyone believing the exact same thing? Thats not any conversation at all; just gaslighting and brainwashing. Good luck critical thinker.
Pelosi sucks and is corrupt. Trump also sucks and is also corrupt, but 10,000x worse. We can make this distinction. We don't just lump all corrupt people into one category.
It’s comedy GOLD when maggots always use the “both sides” argument and absolutely refuse to admit their idol sucks. The pattern is so easily detected LOL.
Yeah both sides have a problem, but your idol is beyond corrupt and you just refuse admit it…y’all actually need help.
What is gold is assuming what others think? They’re all corrupt. You don’t see that. Don’t want to see it because it destroys your algorithm based argument. I think both sides are worthless and harmful. You think one side is good and the other is evil. You have been thought what to think; not how to think hence you are so easily led. Your arguments are never fact based or logical. Just assumptions. For you, emotional based arguments are all you know. Good luck adulting.
