My salary is "frozen" again & I can't get research funding. We laid off most of our staff. My brother lost his government job. My disabled mom's health insurance is about to go up 10x. My neighbors' houses are all for sale.

The middle class is deep underwater and this billionaire MF keeps looting.

Trump Said to Demand Justice Dept. Pay Him $230 Million for Past Cases

Senior department officials who were defense lawyers for the president and those in his orbit are now in jobs that typically must approve any such payout, underscoring potential ethical conflicts.

@aram the worst part is most of his voters will NEVER even be aware of this, because fragmented mainstream news and social media allow people to just construct alternate realities.
Fox will probably say what you described is the fault of Joe Biden or Antifa or something and no piece of our shared reality will penetrate that bubble.

@aram Guess how these people become billionaires.

The entire concept of someone owning that much money is totally bonkers.

@aram Just want until someone gets desperate enough that spending the rest of their life in prison as a presidential assassin would seem like a step up for them...

It's only a matter of time...

@ShredderFeeder
Chump has come very close to doing something that could change this is interesting ways. Multiple times Chump has come very close to saying that we are at war with Antifa... As soon as he does that an Antifa 'assassin' becomes an enemy combatant which brings with it more protections than many federal inmates can only dream of.

@aram

@nikatjef Like this administration would give a rats ass about the Geneva Convention on enemy combatants... Hell these morons can't even spell the word Geneva on a good day...

@aram

@ShredderFeeder
True, but there is enough opposition that word would get out to the UN and other human rights organizations that his successors may actually think, possibly twice even
