It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

@georgetakei

It's not the first time he's stolen money from kids with cancer.

@davidtheeviloverlord @georgetakei can’t believe a parent doesn’t do something
@georgetakei I fully agree with him.

@georgetakei The argument that will be offered (and has been) is that the money for the ballroom is private money, not public. Which is.. well, sort of true, I guess.

Of course, that same money could go to much more worthwhile things.

But the real scandal is that that money IS essentially public money, at least by the moral argument that it's at least in part a product of tax cuts for the rich.

@wesdym @georgetakei

Private 'donors'? Let's call this what it is: #Bribes

@PeachMcD Undoubtedly. The point is, the argument can be made -- already has been, in fact, and will again -- that 'private' money is paying for this, not public. That is, "We're not spending taxpayer money on this, it's all privately funded." Which is TECHNICALLY true, if you don't consider WHY those rich jerks can afford to donate that money.

@georgetakei 's version is a cropped version of a picture that has been doing the rounds for 3 months. One Instagram post of the uncropped picture I found replete with comments. You're *way* too rational and sane when it comes to what the counterarguments already are.

They ranged from "But—but—but Biden's daughter!" to "They're hiding the cure for cancer from us!".

Quite a lot of them ironically applied to their own posters.

@wesdym @PeachMcD @georgetakei

I was looking at the uncropped postings, by the way, because I wanted to see whether the cropping had been in order to remove the artist's signature or some such. Alas, the uncropped version appears to be unsigned.

@georgetakei

And yet so many millions of Americans voted Trump into power.

TWICE.

They knew what he was going to do. He didn't hide it.

They knew.

@georgetakei

Well, megalomaniac narcissistic psychopaths have no empathy… so that is what we are witnessing here, again and again… pure evil.

@georgetakei sorry to burst your bubble but I think that image might be AI
@kleisli @georgetakei ai as in ai generated, bad for the environment, supporting the far right, the lot
@GroupNebula563 how bad compared to a web search or a post in the fediverse? And you don't even know what model they might have used and who got paid for the generation. @georgetakei
@kleisli @georgetakei how bad? much, much worse. there's an entire wikipedia article for it. let's stop this discussion now before you get blocked.
@GroupNebula563 😂 if you want to block me for that? Feel free! @georgetakei
@kleisli @georgetakei okay. done and done, thank you for your cooperation. the block will be applied within 3-5 business days
@georgetakei I hope there will be a next president and s*he will have the courage to wreck that epstein ballroom again.
May MAGA (blue and red) deal with their parent's decisions. Let it be so. I am done giving a shit about the US.
@georgetakei Psychopathic narcissists only care about themselves. They have no human feelings.
@georgetakei I can see why you don't consider a golden ballroom as important as childhood cancer research. But look at it this way: it's actually about distracting from the Epstein files and lining Trump's pockets.

@georgetakei

In the good old days, the palace would have been stormed and the potentate would have been guillotined. 😈 Vive la Revolution. It’s time to stand up against this regime.

@georgetakei with Felon 47 it is lack of almost everything. He has 2 things: a huge ego and an unsaturated greed - everything else he is completely lacking.
