When the rules no longer apply. Psychopaths eventually rise to the top of every power structure—NGOs, corporations, and states. In a game without rules, those without morality will always have the upper hand. A man who will do anything to win holds a decisive advantage over

2/ The primary way to get to Trump is at his golf clubs. Reportedly, a $5 million donation to Trump's political operation gets you a one-on-one meeting. $1 million will get you a group private dinner. Putting a price on a one-on-one meeting isn't normal. wired.com/story/people-p…

3/ One crypto CEO who paid the $1 million price explained to the The New York Times that after his meeting with Trump, his idea to make money off the federal government was suddenly "making the rounds...so mission accomplished from my view.” nytimes.com/2025/08/02/us/…

4/ Trump also sells access to him for those who send money directly to Trump's wallet. This spring, he held a reception with the top buyers of his crypto coin. News of the opportunity immediately drove up the price of the coin, making Trump millions. bbc.com/news/articles/…

5/ His family gets in on the grift too. His son is opening a new private club in DC - with a $500,000 entry fee. Donald Jr. markets it as the place to meet with his father's Cabinet. They don't even hide the access game, naming it "The Executive Branch". politico.com/news/2025/04/2…

6/ Of course big donors have always had access to politicians. But the scope and sophistication of this access operation is unprecedented. And NEVER before has a President openly made money personally off selling access like this. We shouldn't accept any of it.

The only sensible way out I can see is a land value tax. Gary's idea here is already scaring all the wealthy people off, 17k millionaires this year. And that's just the idea of it. If this became a reality they'd have to slam in draconian exit taxes overnight with no notice to

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Richard Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, it goes with launching assaults on universities, it goes with launching

I’m seeing a fair few posts from people on the left stating we have to address people’s valid concerns about immigration. Please think before posting such nonsense. Not being able to afford a home or see a GP is nothing to do with migrants and everything to do with capitalists.

This rhetoric is irresponsible, dangerous & utterly vile. Rowling continues to fuel a climate of fear & hatred towards trans people by perpetuating the false & harmful narrative that they are predators. Dr Upton is not. She must be held accountable for the damage she’s causing.
