“…authoritarian regimes have no dissent but are more fragile… I think on balance, it turns out that democracies are frustrating and they debate and they sometimes are slow, but they are actually much more effective in conflict than people imagine.” —Paul Krugman, Economic Size and Economic Power #democracy #autocracy

#Trump is considering removing #JeaninePirro, the #USattorney for #DC, over a #DOJ conclusion that problems with the Lincoln Memorial #ReflectingPool stemmed from a flawed renovation rather than vandalism…. Trump is “furious” with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend. They added that based on his criticisms of her, they find it “highly likely she’s removed from her job.” #law #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

Vaughn will receive a seven-figure settlement from the US government, his lawyers said, making him among those aligned with the #Trump admin who have received a payout by an alternative means. …The continuing ability of the #DOJ to make such payouts with or without a formal fund structure is one of the sticking points between the Trump admin & Republican senators as they weigh the nomination of #ToddBlanche…. #SlushFund #TaxpayersMoney #law #LegalEthics #MafiaState #autocracy #AbuseOfPower

《Now, after 46 years of contestation and roadblocks, the nation is less literate than it was 155 years ago.》 An uneducated population is easy to manipulate and ultimately control. Don't be so surprised that the US is ruled by an evil orange king. #Education #Literacy #US #Corruption #Autocracy #Tyranny #Dictatorship #NoKings #Fascism #DirtyPoliticians #Nazi #CrimesAgainstHumanity #ResetSociety

As long as the shitty 1% continue to tell us that without their crap we're nothing... Well, nothing's ever going to change. We have to reject everything they tell us, everything they sell us. It's going to be super difficult at first, and some are too deep in to do anything, anyway. We'll see... #EatTheRich #DirtyPoliticians #Dictatorship #Autocracy #NoKings #NoWars #MakePeace #Nazi #Fascism #GreenEnergy #Iran #ResetSociety #CrimesAgainstHumanity

Interview: Elon Musk, Marc Andreessen et al say: "I'll just spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy the government outright... I can then have the government reward me with billions of dollars of contracts". If the SEC, FTC or anyone else "is investigating my companies... I can just tell them to knock it off, & they'll do it." 20 yrs ago, Musk couldn't do that. But then SCOTUS said "we'll allow it." https://www.thenerdreich.com/attack-of-the-trillionaire/ #USPol #EUPol #Musk #news #oligarchy #SCOTUS #Autocracy . ...2
