No one should be surprised by a group of Psychopaths hell bent on causing chaos and pain. SNAP has always been on the list. They are not sincere in any way and shouldn't be trusted within any negotiation. They will continue to act in bad faith.
The plan has always been to destroy every social program in America. They are following P2025.
The plan: Take money any way they can. 1) Delete departments 2) End all Social Programs 3) Use tariffs to build up the Treasury 4) Comingle $$ with crypto 5) Give tax breaks to the rich, again 6) Become trillionaires 7) Laugh all the way to the bank while we suffer. #P2025 #EvilMusk #Criminals

(14,845 posts)They want to get rid of the Masses except for those few they think are needed to maintain their paradise, because they honestly believe it's the End Times, Jaysus is Coming because Mankind has obviously reached it's Pinnacle and they're obviously the blessed wealthy elect going to Heaven
-or-
Mankind has reached it's Pinnacle, and now they can comfortably live forever with their Really Great Tech, and robots, and AI, so they don't need more than a few hundred thousand "servants" - or maybe a million (until they can get cloning down, which should be any decade now), and since they don't have to worry about any lesser people harshing their vibe, they can just get rid of the rest of us.
Seriously, they're all F'ing lotus eaters, addicted to money and the comfortable illusions it buys them.

(12,277 posts)Know how to do it. Pedo Trump now has mush for brains. He's just doing what he's manipulated into doing. It's not like he acts on his own.
If anyone would not do what he screamed at them to do. How would he know? And if he found out, just lie and blame someone else.
Starving the poor is probably Nazis Miller's, Theil's or Crow's hateful idea.

(40,447 posts)I haven't spoken to any of them since the election. I'm sure they have some right wing excuse why everything is okay or someone else's fault. But mostly, I've just lost respect for all of them, & the few who poked fun at my concern, especially. ~insert flip-the-bird smilie here

Yes a good snake oil salesman, can sell anything.
And his animal cunning, sadism, greed make him perfect for taking a wrecking ball to his own country.

Destroying the US for fun, profit and power.
Hey Joe
(307 posts)of us useless eaters who are the poor, the sick,
the handicapped and the retired.
The remaining populace will be kept poorer,
less educated, mostly uninsured and more desperate than ever for employment, food and shelter.
There will never be enough for these oligarchs to share with the rest of us.

worst fear is that he'll declare Martial law after starting a war with Venezuela. He's already said no
elections if this Country is at war.

(6,514 posts)they didn't believe me. People who didn't pay much attention to politics just couldn't grasp what these evil MoFos had planned.
And, I didn't even delve into the technokook stuff--just the Project 2025 blueprint. People just didn't, couldn't, wouldn't believe it.

(1,894 posts)To them, we are just a place that has a stable currency and a big army. That's really all they need. Let's look at them individually:
Donald Trump. He is finded and controlled by Russians. He has properties allover the world. Sure, he wants to protect the properties he has here, but he has absolutely no stake in or concern for the average American. After all, the average American will never be on any of his properties.
Larry Ellison. MUch of his wealth is in Oracle, so he needs to protect that. But Oracle does business worldwide. He needs the US military to protect his interests, and he gets huge income from the US government, but that's about it. And his biggest delight is sailing his ginormoous ships far from here.
Jeffrey Bezos. Same story. Unlike the others, he does make a lot of money directly from the average American, but his real home is on his yacht, the world's largest sailing yacht. Doesn't give a shit about Americans or anybody else for that matter.
Peter Theil. Makes his money by stock market manipulation, so he needs that much of America, but no more.
Elon Musk. A child of apartheid S. Africa and a full-throated Nazi. Makes his money by running stock cons. If we ever start enforcing our laws governing markets and shareholders, Musk would be on his way to Mars.
One thing they all have in common is that, unlike the legendary ultra-rich like Carnegie, McKenzie Scott (Bezos' ex), Bill and Melinda gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros, Ted Turner and many others, if anybody from that above list does anything remotely charitable, it is only because it gives them a tax benefit. These people are among the most selfish who ever lived.

(4,617 posts)The Bush era corporate Republicans were content to keep the goose that laid the golden eggs, only occasionally strangling it for more eggs. The Trump era Republicans want to roast the goose now for one big banquet.

(151 posts)There once were some schemers, no soul,
Who grinned as they dug at the whole.
Cut SNAP, they would cheer,
With chaos sincere,
Then watched while the safety nets stole.
A cabal with smiles of disguise,
Made promises laced with plain lies.
In talks theyd agree,
But take, then theyd flee
Bad-faith been their proudest surprise.
Theyve marked every program for doom,
And whisper reform in a room.
Project 2025s map
Is a paper-cut trap
So hope becomes harder to bloom.
Step one: delete a few halls,
Step two: tear the programs and walls.
Tariffs stack up the till,
Cryptos mixed in the till,
While safety net curtains take falls.
Theyll mix public gold with a coin,
Say its modern! as budgets purloin.
Comingle and hide,
Let the market decide
While mothers and workers rejoin (in scorn).
Give breaks to the rich with a grin,
Let the oligarch chorus begin.
Theyll pocket a crown,
Push the commoners down,
And toast as the gutters fill in.
Becoming trillionaires dream,
A laugh on a ledgerless scheme.
They dance to the bank,
We patch up the tank
And fury brews under the steam.
So eye them with caution, not trust;
Bad faith runs through plans like a rust.
If we want to survive,
We must speak and well strive
Protect the small things that matteradjust.

I totally agree they can't be trusted, now more than ever.

(9,079 posts)All they want (and get with their accomplices on the extreme court) is that there's no Sheriff in town ever again.

(114,187 posts)who all seem to think money confers omniscience and ultimate wisdom. It does neither. It just makes them greedier.
When we are rinally rid of this bunch, and we will be, one thing we will need to guard against in the future is the rise of another plutocracy. They are all the same and they all tend strongly toward totalitarianism.
Not all rich men are inherently evil. The ones who sit and plot and buy politicians are.

(10,734 posts)would look like or understand what it meant. I still wonder WHY you'd want to do that.
It reminds me of vulture capitalism, where you pull out all the $$ you can, strip the business of anything valuable that you can sell and then leave a shell. I think they also declared losses on their taxes to benefit financially too. (Good ol' Mitt Romney)
Except with a country, you have humans and animals and forests, rivers, mountains... The beauty and bounty of the earth...
I'm back to not understanding WHY you would do this.
I mean, don't they have to live on this planet too?
