The working class has lost wealth to the richest 1%.

Remember, insurance companies only profit off of you when they prevent you from getting the medical care you need.

The perks of having term limits. Assuming they do not engage in a coup d'etat, most try to just wait them out.

Trump doesn't bluff. I would love to play poker with him because he is far too simple to be that devious.

I think it is more lawyers than political scientists. Law is the #1 degree for people involved in politics. Political scientists tend to look at politicians the way a biologist looks at non-human animals.

The 1% didn't make their money making the lives of the working class better. To them, labor is just like any resource they believe exists so they may exploit it for their narrow benefit.

The new billionaire president and the wealthiest cabinet in US history is ushering in a new era of plutocracy. The working class are guaranteed to suffer.

Donald Trump's victory energized the German far-right. Elon Musk's endorsement has them exultant. Germany's AfD, with its own plan for mass deportations, is hoping to replicate the MAGA movement's success in upcoming elections.
