Yesterday

has gotten a pass in the press in this country since Reagan. They would be perfectly happy with a 100% fascist takeover of this country but they were also smart enough to know that they needed to let the Dems be in charge every once in a while to fix and keep the economy from completely tanking and potentially reducing even their riches. Enough of them have reached the point where they believe that they are immune to economic downturns/collapses that they no longer care. After Miller and McConnell, who should be 1 and 2, I want Musk, Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Ellison, and every other tech billionaire to at the front of the guillotine line!
