Don't forget the $400 million for the Ballroom, which he said would be built without taxpayer money.
Or the up to a billion to refit a used jet for no reason, lol
I was just watching a video on that jet …… I knew it was a scam that the government was paying for so the orange clown can take it with him, but ….. apparently he just want to use it as decoration to build a hotel around
Which is another scam ….. typical donors pay for a presidential library or museum but he doesn’t want those. He expects donors to pay to build him a hotel to keep enriching himself through politics
The last figure I heard was $600 mil'.
Shouldn't have been named Joe, probably. He hates those guys.
Average Sleepy Joe. What a loser. Wife gets cancer. Sad. Many such cases.
Same "Average Joe", 4 years later:
A woman? Ew, I rather vote for trump again. Or stay at home.
His wife died from cancer, if he had to live through it every one else should too. (/s)
Unironically know people like this
Yeah I commented it as the mockery where people try to say everyone has it easy to the future generations. But then realized so many people still fall for that, and went back to add the /s
this is literally my father
There was a community gathering in support of a rural hospital that's in danger of closing specifically due to medicaid cuts. Some of the attendees had signs and one of them said something like "Healthcare for All". Shit you not, 3 different vehicles that drove by shouted out the window some variation of "How are we going to pay for it?"
Of course those drive-by naysayers never stop to actually discuss it with folks.
Keep in mind, these specific people are almost certainly locals whose friends and family will ultimately be negatively impacted by the closure of the hospital and we were there trying to make sure the community knows what's happening, why it's happening, and what they might be able to do to avoid it closing.
Go figure.
We already have paid for it, but our money is being mismanaged by the fucking idiots that those idiots keep voting in.
How are we going to pay for it is an example of a thought terminating cliché. Much like It's just a theory referring to biological evolution. There are mountains of arguments to be made to the contrary, but for the indoctrinated individual, the phrase is enough.
See also, the clobber passages in the bible regarding LGBT+ folk (specifically gay men). Scholars might explain what they mean, that their intent is not for committed same-sex relationships as they appear in modern society, or that biblical mores are generally not applicable to modern society (for example its full endorsement of slavery). But none of that matters to the loyal indoctrinated cult follower, whose thinking terminates at the passage itself.
Maybe “average Joes” should start doing something about it
We could play dodgeball!!
So if medicaid pays for the cancer treatment, someone in the medical industry would get paid. Surprised that the medical industry is not lobbying harder for that. What's the point of charging and bankrupting the average Joe, as if there's much money there?
You'd think keeping your citizens (your tax base) healthy would generate the most tax revenue?
Because the docs and execs at the hospital still get their big nut, the raises and bonuses and zero impact to their benefits or retirement.
It's everyone else at the hospital that feels the cuts; elimination of benefits, no raises, bonuses "suspended".

'Murica is a joke
Unfortunately, it was never funny
I look forward to watching that backwards shit hole sink into the ocean
But there's only one Elon, only one Bibi. If you pay for one Joe you have to pay for them all, and that's a lot!
Anyway millions and billions are peanuts now. The Iran war is at about 1.5 trillion dollars so far, and you can guess who on the list that benefits.
The Iran war is at about 1.5 trillion dollars so far
The entire military industrial and state surveillance budget for the year is $1.5T. The Iran War specifically is running somewhere south of $100B... so far.
Of course, that's $100B we were told couldn't go towards public education or universalizing Medicare or domestic commuter rail or energy efficiency improvements to curb infrastructure costs or any amount of ecological mitigation from all the Drill Drill Drill we've been doing.
Instead, it's given us a global supply chain crisis and a new asset bubble and a bunch of banged up air bases and naval vessels. And, of course, a bunch of dead little school girls. Overall, one might argue this is a net negative for everyone involved. But you'd never know it the way the pundit class chatters on.
You have to remember that without all this accumulated wealth the trickle down economy would not work…
"true, but also he hates Mexicans so..."
I will say, if we get universal health care the last team I’d want to implement would be the current administration
Peasants would be grocery store workers while the Bourgeoisie are the bankers. The bourgeoisie are doctors, lawyers, the grocery store owner.
If you want to rise up to the level of the bourgeoisie you must suffer in your peasant life for a little bit to gain the happiness of the bourgeoisie.
And don't forget the trillions of dollars spent on destroying apartment bocks on iran, tents of refugees in gaza or missile striking pig farms in South America, god forgive they used thar money on something useful.
do something, then. you are an elected official.
Hey don't forget the $300 billion he sent to Iran.
Just a reminder that it was reported two years ago that Mossad was entirely embedded into the upper echelons of Iranian government.
One small issue. It's not 'Trump'. It's literally every US president ever, maybe except one or two. Maybe. And Bernie knows this. He's a smart guy. I don't know why he sometimes does this, but I don't like it when smart guys make less-than-smart arguments.
Sometimes I read or listen to him and think: "Hey, maybe some American politicians actually want change". Other times it's posts like this one, and I wonder if he really wants change. Lasting change.
Personally, I don't have the slightest issue with him calling out Trump. However, this rhetoric has one fatal flaw that so far seems unadressed among public or influential figures. Namely - if you keep blaming Trump for everything, that suggests that he's a problem - the only problem, even - not a symptom of a broader problem. And that removing him will solve everything. Which it won't. Of course it won't. But some people seem to think it will. And some will continue thinking or hoping so even after the fact. That's the problem.
Eugenics in a nutshell.
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
