People, before you REACT to the headline, hear me out!

US government is getting $10billion FEE for brokering the sale of TikTok US from the Chinese to a bunch of billionaires. It's NOT Trump receiving the fee. It's the government! And the idiots (Wall Street Journal) are calling for impeachment because he's TAXING billionaires??? And who's the idiot? It's Wall Street Journal. Owned by Murdoch. Of the Fox News. The Capitalist Paper. The apologist for the Billionaires.

READ FIRST!!! This might be the first right thing this orange idiot has done.

    The U.S. Government's motivations in forcing the sale of TikTok were not for the benefit of the citizens of the United States. And frankly, I don’t care how much the U.S. Govenment collects or earns in money, because its income or debt benefits citizens in no way. It could have a gagillion dollars in debt or a googleplex in surplus, and the lives of the American people would be better or worse in no way.

    I'd rather the Chinese still owned TikTok than a bunch of corrupt Techbro billionaires who have already admitted they want America entirely owned by themselves and their friends and the rest of us as slaves - if that. All the forced sale of TikTok stuff was to give them another tool to pacify and brainwash the masses while they consolidate their control.

    You know Pump and Dump Rump and his crime family got their beak wet on the guzinta and the gozouta of the transaction. That's the only thing he gets right until another bankruptcy of his leaves US holding the full diaper he leaves behind.

    What the fuck am I supposed to do with this "but hitler made the autobahn" argument ?

    IF ANYBODY impeaches him, for any reason, THEN he invokes the Insurrection Act, & "goes nuclear" on all the ones he's committed to destroying.

    That option was rendered useless by allowing his ever-accelerating-escalation to progress this-far.

    It's too late for that to work.

    Prep.

    This is crazy as they have been fine for money going directly to him.

    The deal was basically, "Sell off your business or we shut it down." That ain't worth $10 billion.

    Entomologist and photographer Alex Wild‬ wrote on Bluesky, "Maybe you could report plainly that this is corruption and it is illegal."‪

    I mean, sure, he's 💯 right, but HOW exactly is his expertise in insects and visual depiction relevant enough to mention in this context? 🤔
