Who would have thought providing the pieces to assemble a police state would have been lucrative?!? I bet they wish they did this years ago

“Palantir gets attacked just because we help make this country even better, because we support the values, because we defend it,” Karp said. “And us being able to win while having an opinion does have an impact on the world, if only because the people who think we are wrong are not good, have to be a little jealous and suffer.”

You know, nobody expects billionaires to be down to earth, but this level of delusional is more than just out of touch billionaire. This is out of touch billionaire who is also blindingly drunk on power.

Before I even got to the part where he actually accused critics of just being jealous, I was already thinking he sounded like a friend of mine who would always jokingly say "You're juss jealouss" when shitfaced, and people warned her to pace herself. Except this guy is not joking.

He has convinced himself that profiting from the destruction of equality and civil liberty is somehow making America great. I fucking hate this guy. Not because I'm jealous, but because he's part of a treasonous coup. If there is any justice, he and everyone else profiting from this shit will go down in history as the Benedict Arnolds they actually are.

Setareh added that private prison companies’ profits come from “the destruction of human lives as directed by the Trump administration and made possible by the majority Congress”.

Don't forget this. They make this possible, and many of them are watching their own investments grow. Every time we support or passively allow them to maintain seats of power, we are also making it possible.

Further strip mining the US government to enrich their collaborators.

Same thing happened in Nazi Germany

Sadly Canadian companies are also jumping on the bandwagon.

Funneling public money directly into the hands of his cronies was the point all along, everything else is just a bonus to Trump. I guarantee somewhere in there there are also kickbacks going to Trump and his buddies as well. If we ever manage to dislodge this bloated parasite we'll need a whole army of forensic accountants to go over every action he's ever taken to document all the embezzlement and fraud and maybe claw some of that money back.

Keep a list, and shut every single one of those treasonous fuckers down when we get back on top.

The American people sure do have a boner for the surveillance state.

Entirely predictable.

Every single time that a Republican administration purports to be cracking down on "wasteful spending," you can be sure of two things: that their definition of "wasteful spending" is "any spending that benefits anyone other than ourselves and our cronies and patrons," and that all they're really going to do is shift it so that it exclusively does benefit themselves and their cronies and patrons.
