Macho Pillow. It's a big dick bicep shaped pillow for strong, conservative men. Nothing sexual.

I feel like 'normal' politicians are more beholden to old-guard oligarchs, because those are the ones that brought their parents and grandparents to power. The people who've been funding them through their whole, 50-year careers. Those oligarchs have generally learned to avoid the public eye, including politicians that attract public scrutiny.

Donald Trump doesn't care about relationships, heritage, or established trust. He just wants money and flattery, right now, in great volume, and that makes him uniquely susceptible to new money tech bros.

The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, "If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils."

Said Diogenes, "Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king." - 370 BC

I, for one, welcome our new Overlord.

For some, human pride and dignity have literally no value, or is something they will hold simply to trade it off whenever convenient, especially in a world that can value it, so it’s just like a commodity.

Those oligarchs are still avoiding public scrutiny, working behind the scenes. They've been funding both parties the entire god damn time.

While Trump is obviously more dangerous and corrupt, and far less trustworthy than average... those oligarchs could not care less. They have more in common with a Russian or Chinese oligarch than they do with 99.999% of the American population. They have homes around the world; fallout shelters and citizenship in NZ, as well as the EU or Singapore. They have private security teams that cost more per year than you or I will make in a lifetime. Whatever happens, they'll remain protected by all mainstream political parties the world over. Trump is a dementia patient. He doesn't read anything he signs (like most of congress). He's literally just a doormat for moneyed interests. The cost to bribe him is 1/1000th the tax cuts he gives them. The ROI is a no brainier. They're not afraid of theocracy or fascism. They're the ones implementing it.

In a rich man's house, there's no where to spit except for his face.

Does all this sound like they're actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin? They seemed to fall into line so smoothly and fast that it seems a bit weird.

They think they're going to make a lot of money through mergers, acquisitions, and monopolization. All they need to do is suck a little dick publicly

The thing is, most billionaires are sociopaths. You don't get there without being able to treat people like cattle, and consider yourself far, far, far above everyone else.

They're all late game capitalist oligarchs, which almost always trends towards fascism in the end. It's no surprise, it's been happening for a while now, we're just the biggest country to fall under this spell.

They don't have any morals or ethics, they only have one purpose: Make more money at any expense to build their dragon hoard further.

They'll praise trump and suck his dick if it doubles their earnings. That's all they ever cared about. And trump will absolutely do them favors if they kiss his ass. It's one of the things he was impeached for already.

They want to get on the money train, capitalists have no issue with embracing fascism

At one point, after his first Presidency, Trump threatened to throw Zuck in prison.

To be "allowed" to stay out of prison.

but the King overheard and thought "I have to make lentils so much more expensive then..."

If I were not teft, I would be Diogenes.

I too start my day with a prayer to and prostrations to to the greatest man to have ever lived, glorious leader kim jong un. Creeps me out this looks so damned familiar.

It must be horrific to talk to Trump in person. He smells horrible, his moods swing constantly, he has incredibly stupid takes on issues you are an expert in, and he requires constant praise. If you take your hot wife with you he’ll be ogling her constantly. Nurses probably go out of their way to see another patient when he’s at the hospital.

Now you are one of the richest men in the world, and you have to pretend you like him. I mean, something must be seriously wrong with you if you got fuck-you money and still degrade yourself to those levels.

It's impressive and also a little bit depressing how accurate that quote is from almost 2,500 years ago. Shows humanity really doesn't change.

Ahh Zuckerberg, the Chechnyan Molly dealer.
