Who put country over greed. At least he was the only one who spoke out publicly.

A recession/depression, inflation, deflation, won't stop billionaires from living high on the hog. They will return with even more of a monopoly when the smaller companies go bust.

Taylor Swift could have a led a movement of young voters to the polls had she jumped in the pool. I don't blame her though, Magats could have ruined her career, not to mention the death threats.

We had a lot of billionaire backers; I wish some more of them had spoken out, especially Mike Bloomberg. It's water under the bridge now, but he really understood how to hit Rump where it hurt. When Asshole pulled us out of the Paris Climate Accords, Bloomberg flew to Paris and paid our funding commitments anyway. ($15 million if I recall). I've been wondering if he will bother with that again. But, unfortunately, he's rather quiet about what he does do.

(3,170 posts)Meanwhile, I spent more than I could afford, as did many of you. Before you come at me because you didn't see the interviews, check yourself. He said it. He said he didn't want to be wanted for his money. Meanwhile billionaires poured money into electing trump. I won't ever see him the same. He is no hero. He should be asked to explain himself now.
