since Trump has bankrupted the USA, the new moderate position should be to seize all the assets of the billionaires and millionaires who scammed the country into bankruptcy, no?

@blogdiva It's called asset forfeiture, and it's used to get ill-gotten gains back from criminals. It's likely there's no cash left, but we can take real estate, homes, cars, jewelry, stocks, bitcoin, etc. Anything purchased with the stolen money, and that includes the entire family. I'm looking forward to it, right after the trials and the locking up.
Keeping my hopes up for justice! -

@blogdiva if he completes his term, will 2029 be a repeat of 1929?

@blogdiva So, we have a Government accountability office AND a Department of Govenment Efficiency?
@kshernandez @blogdiva
Government Accountability has been an incredible power. Their job has basically been to provide the numbers to demonstrate various forms of corruption for decades. They’re cool-headed, statistical, analytical, and nonpartisan.GOP politicians of course find themselves on the pointy end of the results more often than Dems, which they claim is bias. But, of course, there’s another explanation…

@JoshuaACNewman @blogdiva So, what the heck is DOGE for than to help rob the government and it's people of money and resources?

i agree, but i dont think the government will solve the problem. The government is the problem, especially since 2008. Its the means by which the wealthy get socialism for the rich
Voting is begging them to change - it wont work. We have to do it ourselves and while organizing is and must be an ongoing effort, supply chains at anonymous scale need some form of currency to organize and we must adopt something they cant print to prevent becoming socialism for the rich again
"The government" is not some independent entity that exists beyond the reach of the people. Governments can be manipulated and set to favor elites, but they can also be reset to allow the masses to maintain accountability. The government is the vehicle for mass rule; it cannot be simply denied or abandoned.

Nothing. That’s literally all DOGE was for. Crimes. It had no other purpose and wasn’t a government department. -

I can’t emphasize this enough: Donald Trump handed over all government records to Elon Musk because they both wanted to sell off the government and the people it protects out of a dedication to their parallel systems of fraud.Along the way, they leaned particularly hard on white supremacist objectives.
That is literally all DOGE was. A meme turned into white supremacist fraud.
They fell out for the same reason crime bosses usually fall out.

@JoshuaACNewman @blogdiva It makes me so sick! And we, poor, disabled, marginalized folks pay the price.
I'm concerned for everyone in my communities, have been for a long time but this is just over and above.
