    Putin, Netanyahu, billionaires, and a host of others easily manipulate and pull the strings of the Puppet king of narcissism. It’s no wonder that the priorities of We the People are not served by this selfish old criminal.

      Al Capone got it wrong; when he started being investigated for tax fraud, he should have run for President.

        I would take big al over our president now any day. I hate gangsters too generally, they make things more expensive for less value. But to his credit he was mainly circumventing bad laws prohibiting alcohol more people would continue to use than not.

        In Boardwalk Empire Capone came off as a real psycho though.

          I do tend to agree with you about gangsters and organized crime, but within the system we currently have and the situation we find ourselves in, gangs also represent a second power from the state. And while obviously there are risks and pitfalls, we may need to start participating in a bit of syndicalism soon

            I agree, I’ve been told by socialists that Karl Marx and engles talked about how organized crime, the criminal classes, were used by the state to oppress the working population, and everything I have seen has reinforced that, not the least reading about the labor movement with organized crime being tight with the cops and Fielding strike Breakers and then of infiltrating labor.

            But, I think the gangs should be unionized, it would solve a lot of problems. The cartels too but that is kind of outside of our wheelhouse in the US here.

    He’s a confused old pedo who has no history of intelligence beyond being bailed out and making threats.

    They hit billionaires where it hurts…no oil means no fuel to move products, no helium to make products/chips. No fuel or water to power AI. No way to keep extracting our labor without compensation.

    Energy and water rationing is coming soon to everyone. So billionaires are about to be eaten.

    Trump is pleasing his MAGA base by attacking Iran. He wants Iran’s oil just as he wants Venezuela’s oil. The problem is that Iran is more powerful and much closer to Russia than Venezuela. Consequently, Russia is able to help Iran.
