Quote from: DKG on January 17, 2025, 11:10:10 AMBiden hinted in his farewell speech that the presence of billionaire Elon Musk in the Trump administration was troubling. He awarded billionaire and Democratic megadonor George Soros with the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this month.Oligarchs support the Democrats with lots of cash. They lost a couple of them, but the majority of billionaires support and control that party.
The Dems are throwing rocks from an expensive glass house.
Bloomberg reported that Biden's time in office proved a golden age for the wealthiest of Americans. The wealth of the 100 richest individuals in the country increased by over $1.5 trillion over the past four years. According to Federal Reserve estimates through September, the top 0.1% gained over $6 trillion while Democrats controlled the White House and Senate.
It certainly didn't hurt that the Democratic-controlled 117th Congress approved Biden's so-called Build Back Better Act, which included enormous federal tax cuts for the ultra-rich, or that Biden championed unprecedented inflationary spending benefiting the wealthy.
Many of the nation's wealthiest individuals, in many cases beneficiaries of Democratic policies, have backed the campaigns of Democratic lawmakers and worked to keep them in power in recent years.
USA Today reported in November that 83 billionaires, including two with a net worth of over $100 billion each, supported Kamala Harris' doomed presidential campaign. Trump had 31 fewer billionaires back him and only one supporting centibillionaire, Elon Musk.
Those now clutching pearls about Musk serving in the incoming administration have not only glossed over this detail but previously proved unwilling to condemn billionaire Mark Zuckerberg for helping swing the 2020 election for Democrats.

Before his ouster from the presidential race, Biden and groups supporting his re-election campaign received oodles of cash from a group of billionaires worth roughly $170 billion, including former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose net worth is around $104.7 billion.
Quote from: Oliver the Second on January 16, 2025, 09:44:34 AMVatican Promises Stiff Penalties for Illegal Aliens Crossing its BorderWell hell, guess the idea of the church offering safe harbour to the persecuted is a thing of the past now, innit? "No no, rules for thee but not for the Holy See"... anyone surprised to see that white smocked faggot revealing himself as a NIMBYist?
The Vatican City State has enacted stiffer penalties on anyone entering its territory or violating its airspace without permission, threatening offenders with fines and jail time.
"Unless the act constitutes a more serious crime, anyone who enters the territory of Vatican City State with violence, threat, or deception is punished with imprisonment from one year to four years and a fine from € 10,000.00 to € 25,000.00," the text reads.
The document goes on to clarify that sneaking into Vatican territory is included in its understanding of entering by "deception."
"Entry by fraudulent circumvention of the State's security and protection systems or by evading border controls shall be deemed to have occurred 'by deception,'" the decree elucidates.
However just last August Pope Francis suggested that immigration laws should not be made stricter but rather looser, to allow more immigrants to cross international borders, adding that turning away migrants is a "grave sin."
The pontiff has also insisted that the safety of migrants — legal or illegal — should take precedence over national security concerns and that they should not be subjected to collective deportations.

Quote from: Dove on December 20, 2024, 06:01:05 AMIt's really disgusting how they are celebrating that man's murder.Maybe not "solved", though it did put the deep state on blast as to how much even their "useful idiots" on the left hate their policies and them by extension. They'll have to work extra hard going forwards to market it as an outgrowth of Trumpian politics.
And it solved nothing. Absolutely nothing.
