We are constantly told that solutions to some of the greatest challenges facing poor and working class people in the U.S. do not exist. Meanwhile, billions taxpayer dollars are being used to fund the genocide of Palestinians.

That very money could have ended homelessness in the United States.

Money for our needs, not the U.S.-Israeli war machine!

      When did we go from “oil companies and tech oligarchs want to exercise their influence over governments to clandestinely achieve greater wealth” to “THE PRESIDENT IS A MONOLITHIC DICTATOR THAT DECIDES ALL FOREIGN POLICY UNILATERALLY”?

        Oil companies and oligarchs provide the funding. The person in office still has to make the decisions and still bears responsibility.

      I don’t know about all that, but I do believe he has been captured by the MIC/Corporate influence and has no choice or control at all. But, I might just be naive in my thinking, lol.

          Yikes, thanks for sharing that. I’ve not seen anything like this. I have seen him say other pretty asinine things in his past, but nothing like this.

          Unbelievable, but at the same time, being the USA the military hegemony it is, unsurprising too that these are words said by their leader.
