There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Make that the thing people think about when they hear "Trump". "Trump? Ah yes, the people who say child rape is unimportant and rich people making money is important. Those people." Make sure everyone knows that that's what that shithead thinks. Let her words resound around the world.

This would be a good time for some enterprising Democrat to point out that the stock market is basically for people who are too lazy to book a flight to Vegas.

She’s right. Republicans are very clear and transparent that the only reason the party exists, the only thing that matters, is making rich, white, entitled people richer. The rest of this shit, including mass pedophilia, is entirely irrelevant. And in her defense, that’s what the people voted for.

But also, she doesn’t represent the treasury. She represents the Department of justice. Who cares about the economy when you’re talking to the Department of justice?

I mean, why on earth are they asking the Attorney General about criminal investigations when we could be having her talk about the economy? Such a missed opportunity

“The government is terrorizing and murdering its own citizens, it’s revoking aid to humanity at home and across the globe, it violently toppled a foreign leader, but hey the rich are doing so well!” Fuck off.

We need new words to insult these people with. All of our old words are too imprecise and general and imply there is some reflection in the natural world to compare them with. They are unique vessels of pure evil that should be scoured from the earth and driven tortured and screaming into an abyss.

The weirdest thing about the current fascist regime, something they carried over from their earlier term, is that these motherfuckers are weirdly honest. "Yeah, so what, we're rich & powerful so we don't have to pretend to care anymore." To *this* That used to end careers. Not anymore.

Money as a measure of justice? Tells us so much about this tone deaf hollow administration. The cost of everything, the value of nothing. No money? No future. History will look back on these clips assuming anyone survives to see when the apocalypse truly began. A pale horse brings its rider closer.

So what if the US economy is going gangbusters? What’s the problem with also pursuing the arch fiends that frequented Epstein’s criminal get togethers? Can Republicans not chew gum and walk at the same time? Are they that useless in power? Get off Fox News and do some work you lazy SOBs.

It's slightly refreshing that to hear them just come out and say it plainly. I wish this had been the case with Covid instead of making up conspiracies. "We care more about the economy than we do the lives of people."

It's the best way to keep her job honestly. And she admitted any fault she'd be out by supper in another puppet would be sitting in her seat. Which is also pretty textbook fascist

Anyone: What about the Epstein allegations? Team Trump all year: What? No, listen...do you know about Literally Anything Else (LAE)? The Epstein nonsense, pft, we should be talking about LAE. The LAE numbers are so high/low/whatever, lets focus on that instead!

She is the fucking Attorney General of the US. The only time she should care about the stock market is if she's going after financial crimes. But she doesn't care about those either, considering how many her boss pardons.

... and now I'm doubleguessing on my placement of the f-word. Feels like it's better placed between Attorney and General. Ah well. This is why one should calm down before posting. Proper word placement is important.

The Epstein Gang view us all as simply livestock. Our misery only ever enters their calculations to the extent it might impede their ability to milk, shear, bleed, butcher and render us for profit.

The whole point of (this) government is to make the rich and powerful richer and more powerful, which it can only do by exploiting the poor. She is really just pointing out that the system is working as designed. I'm guessing that she truly does not understand the criticism.

And, honestly, the markets were "just ok" last year. We underperformed Europe and Asia, and we know that there is a huge AI shell game underpinning the current valuations.
