    Its truly amazing just how much @Os Trigonum tries to sane wash trump at every opportunity. He knows he's full of **** and he does it regardless.

    Just some history.

    The SEC and FTC were designed to be independent due to historical events demanding unbiased oversight. The SEC was established after the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression, where political influence over market regulations was seen as a key factor in the economic collapse. The FTC was created in 1914 to ensure fair competition and prevent monopolies, an area where political interference was seen as harming consumers.

    Who wants to return to the days of market manipulation and monopolies? Who wants political pressure from billionaires? This administration, with its record number of very wealthy individuals, should give everyone pause as to why this is happening now.

    It's hard to understand how people can be so easily willing to be manipulated by those wannabe oligarchs, that they will let all this happen before their eyes, and try and come up with reasons to how it makes their lives better. Cult!

    That's great, it starts with an earthquake.
    Birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

    Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
    World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs.

    Feed it up a knock, grunt, no, strength, no,
    Ladder structure to clatter with fear fight down height.
    Fire in a wire, representing seven games.
    A government for hire and a combat site.
    Left of west and coming in a hurry,
    With the furies breathing down your neck.
    Team by team reporters baffled,

    Trumped,

    tethered cropped.

    Look at that low plane! Fine, then.
    Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.

    Save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its own needs.

    Listen to your heart bleed tell me with the rapture.
    And the revered and the right, right.
    You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight,
    Bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it
    But I feel fine.

    Six o'clock - TV hour, don't get caught in foreign towers.

    Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
    Locking him in uniform and book burning, blood letting.

    Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
    Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.

    Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh oh, this means no fear cavalier.

    Renegade steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
    Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, I decline.

    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    I feel fine.
    I feel fine.

    The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.

    Mount St. Edelite, Leonard Bernstein.
    Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
    Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
    You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    I feel fine.

    It's time, I spent some time alone.
    It's time, I spent some time alone.
    It's time, I spent some time alone.

    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it.
    It's the end of the world as we know it
    I feel fine.

    This is a good test. If you can't explain what you do and you truly think you bring value, ask your manager to help. And if they can't, perhaps you really don't have value.

    Ultimately it's a test to do the opposite, find the most competent people in the organization.

    You and I know their excuses and reasoning behind the stuff they do is filled with lies, and BS, but that is going to be the way things are done from now on. None of them will suffer, that's for sure. They expect everyone else to make all the sacrifices and endure the hardships to come, while they fly around in their luxury jets or hang out at Trump's country club wheeling and dealing for more and more and more. Greed is an ugly trait, that's for sure.

    Trump is lining all his ducks up in a row for getting away with murder with his election denier lawyer, old friend and loyalist as AG, FBI director Kash, the butt kissing election denier who wrote a children's book about Trump the King, and dressed like him as he licked his boots during his court trials, and now this pod caster ..

    Right-Wing Commentator Named F.B.I. Deputy Director
    The choice of Dan Bongino is a radical departure from the bureau’s history of having a veteran agent serve in the key role that oversees operations.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/us/politics/dan-bongino-fbi-deputy-director.html

    The law will never be the same again, when those people are all election denying liars and power hungry Trump loyalists.

    Making Presidential Corruption Easy Again! Cease and decease all investigations in the future for anything criminal the King chooses to do, and prosecute all he asks them to get out of his way, or who dare to speak the truth. The Trump rule of law!
