I think your use of compromised is too narrow here and that's why you're being attacked for it. We can see how he behaves around Musk and it's not too far off Putin if you ignore the public facing nature of it. I don't think Trump is trying to prevent some kompromat either, but clearly favor has been curried behind the scenes. Trump is well known to have, and self admittedly has, a piggy bank in Russia bigger than his piggy bank here, at least in 2016. I think to believe there isn't people on Russia who have similar relationships to the ones in America that make him cucked to Elon Musk is a bit niave, if that's what you're saying.

I would say anyone looking for buyers on favor is inherently a bad person, especially if those favors are always anti-"the one thing you're supposed to do"

Zuck's "How do you do, fellow kids?" Didn't work when he was in college either, that's why Facebook is his avenue of human interaction.

If you believe televangelists, then that needle eye is bigger than the Sahara.

Fascists see no beauty, they have no artistic ability, no eye for talent, no creativity at all. Hitler created a bunch of shitty buildings with no beauty, our fascist movement is going to be led by people who think current AI is capable of replacing artists. The sooner they're labeled clowns the better for the world, especially minorities and nature, or what's left of it.

From my perspective, this doesn't seem very complicated. Putin is rumored to be the richest (now second or third richest) man in the world. Elon gave what would have previously been well within Putin's budget and look at the absolute subjugation Trump is willing to put up with. This was always a quid pro quo, but Trump doesn't operate on Kompromat. In my opinion, it's just buying favor because it literally is that transactional. Trump will only rip you off if he thinks he can get away with it unscathed.

Don't forget, he tried to extort them for investigations in a clear and open example of quid pro quo that investigators were too pussy to call what it was.

They remember, they just hate the world and US global hegemony. Ukraine should be speed running the purchase of nukes imo.

Am I mistaken, or does this budget represent an approximately 10x increase in border spending over 2022?

Damn, here I was, hoping his death would be a televised 40 minute 1000-yard stare as his body temp slowly sinks to ambient.

Obviously the pattern has always been whatever he accuses other people of being is what he is himself, so when are we going to just call him what he calls other people? A lying, blood poisoning, shifty, ugly, authoritarian, with low IQ, tears in his sleepy eyes, bitch. All sourcable, although I can't be bothered.

I feel like ICE has more white supremacists in it than wife beaters, and they definitely have a lot of those.

 

This article is likely to become more and more relevant, but I wanted to highlight many of these heroes for a central theme, which is that not a single one of these people said, "I will not comply" to make themselves a target. They kept their power and used it to save thousands, or they forged documents or narratives through a normal process without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.
