What a dam jackass. Why doesn't he just say we'll all get ponies and hot pants while he's at it?

    Republicans when talking about min wage: "We can't give out money, or else inflation happens, learn something!"

    Republicans when voting comes up: "HAVE FREE MONEY!"

    Democrats should counter that they’ll pay double whatever the Republicans pledge (min $10k, max $30k), paid entirely by a wealth tax on assets over $1 billion if they win a filibuster-proof supermajority.

    Billionaires actually have enough assets to get to $30.6k per person, so Democrats wouldn’t even have to tax their assets above $1 billion at 100% to get there.

    A classic anti-democratic and anti-socialist right wing argument is that people vote for the left because the left promises them government benefits.

    Mitt Romney :

    "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president [Obama] no matter what... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it... My job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

    “You’ve made your ruling, let’s see you enforce it”

    Where does political power come from?

    As Congress has chosen to allow the President to exert Congressional power, so We the People, with the assistance of decades of fascist propaganda, have allowed the oligarchs to exert... Peoplenal? power. Shaddup, lemme have that one, okay? But seriously, the power of the people is in the hands of the oligarchs.

    Unless we take it back.

    But a third of us actively have chosen to depart from reality, logic, sanity; another third are too poor and tired to care, and the last third have enough energy to vote but that's about it.

    So basically, we're fucked.

    They'll get it right alongside their DOGE checks. Which are coming any day now. Believe me.

    I have people in my family that said they voted for him in 2016 because they thought he was going to make childcare free or something. I tried to explain that not only is that not a conservative thing, but also that he's a total fraud.

    Couldn’t have said it better myself.

    What would be nice is if this very illegal offer was actually investigated and prosecuted.

    Edit:

    After I thought about this for a minute it’s not much different then:

    • “Elect us and we’ll cut your taxes by $5,000.”
    • “Vote for us and we’ll cancel $10,000 in student debt.”
    • “Give us Congress and we’ll increase Social Security benefits.”

    But I guess coming from him everything seems illegal and grifty.

    Investigated? Prosecuted? Yea, and like his felonies, at the end they’ll say he’s not gunna be punished in case that makes his job of being a super criminal while in charge of that country difficult.

    Didn't he also say we'd get tariff rebate checks?

    By "we", he probably meant corporations. Not sure if any corporations effectively got "DOGE" checks, but they got tariff checks.

    That was effectively forced by the supreme Court, not the administration. Administration planned to keep the money.

    Fair enough, although it would not surprise me if at least someone in his admin thought that, at worst, the corporations would get the benefit, if donnie's accomplices were not able to get away with this aspect of their smash-and-grab agenda, and hell, that's part of the conservative schemes - benefiting corporations over people.
