oligarchy

<p>The biggest winner in this <a href="/tags/election/" rel="tag">#election</a> has been <a href="/tags/oligarchy/" rel="tag">#oligarchy</a>. <a href="/tags/oligarchs/" rel="tag">#Oligarchs</a> came out openly against <a href="/tags/democracy/" rel="tag">#democracy</a> and used every trick in the book to divide the American people against one another so they can rule us more directly than they have ever done in the modern era. They control <a href="/tags/corporatemedia/" rel="tag">#CorporateMedia</a> and they will now strengthen their control in DC.</p><p>We have been on the road to oligarchy for a long time, and 11/5/24 will be as big a milestone on it as 1/21/10 when the Citizens United ruling was issued.</p>

<p>The <a href="/tags/oligarchy/" rel="tag">#oligarchy</a> is in control of the federal government&#x27;s payment systems now. That didn&#x27;t take long, just 2 weeks. The <a href="/tags/oligarchs/" rel="tag">#oligarchs</a> can steal money from the Treasury directly, and the theft won&#x27;t come to light because the IGs are gone. If the theft ever comes to light, blame DEI and Biden. The stage is set for robbing us blind while telling us that they are making America great again. </p><p>Imagine the outrage if Biden had given one of his <a href="/tags/oligarch/" rel="tag">#oligarch</a> donors this same access.</p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/us/politics/elon-musk-doge-federal-payments-system.html" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/us/politics/elon-musk-doge-federal-payments-system.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/us/</span><span class="invisible">politics/elon-musk-doge-federal-payments-system.html</span></a></p>

<p><a href="/tags/noelcasler/" rel="tag">#NoelCasler</a> on Trump 🎯 </p><p>&quot;He is a man who filed six bankruptcies and was involved in over four thousand lawsuits BEFORE he became POTUS.
