a complete and total destruction of the federal state, rubber stamping of all terrible mergers and consolidation, and massive tax breaks in a country desperate to pay for infrastructure and social safety net improvements?

the nation's rich assholes were all so violently butthurt by Lina Khan doing the bare minimum on antitrust, and Covid shifting the balance of power toward labor by a fraction of one percent, that they just threw completely in with an idiot con man fascist never let them retcon any of this

Do you think they have enough good sense to feel humiliated? I mean, I REALLY hope they're humiliated, but I've no idea how these creatures work. Is avarice the only emotion-like thing they're capable of experiencing?

the entire trump movement was supposed to be about "reining in big tech" and being "serious on antitrust" to take down tech titans a notch; the access press (rife with Matt Stoller quotes) spent three years validating and repeating this false claim with serious, furrowed brow

Trump's main man is destroying his (purported) life's work on human health and he's sitting there grinning like a hollowed out pumpkin pathetic fucks, all of them

When I see stuff like that a part of me just wants those bootlickers to be fully crushed by their capitulation. Let them be made to fight naked in a cage. The winner gets to wear a collar and chain to every press conference. The loser has to marry a Trump/Vance family member.

I don't mean to be impertinent, but I feel compelled by tradition to say: one of the most pathetic things you've seen in your life SO FAR. Because this obviously isn't nearly the peak of the nadir yet.

Gates I'm depressed about. All the rest are still in the game, and have been written off. Gates did say no to Trump in his first term when he asked him to be his science advisor, the job eventually went to my former boss at OU, Kelvin Droegemeirer
