The ultra rich are the problem.
Conservatives are the problem, the ultra rich conservstives exacerbate the problem.
Note that the opposite of ultra rich conservatives is Jimmy Carter who still built wealth but didn’t go for ultra wealth because he actually cares about people. The ultra wealthy are a symptom.
I wouldn’t put these 2 in the conservative category, they are fascist groupies. They were both born into wealth, and then did everything possible to constantly grow their wealth while exploiting labor and everyone around them. They both have a real disdain for rules/laws for them, but love to try and use the legal system against those they see as an enemy.

So, conservatives. Modern conservatives are fascists, it is the same thing.
Totally agree. I’m starting to think that taxing the rich is one of the government’s most important functions.
I think it might be worth it for them to do so even if they set the collected money on fire afterwards.
Otherwise your politics become this: billionaires “interviewing” billionaires.
Trump is actually second-gen on his mother’s side and third-gen on his father’s side. Not that it really changes the message, but there’s no reason to get the facts wrong in this.
Trump is actually second-gen on his mother’s side
Trump’s mother was born in Scotland. She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.
She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.
I think the person above you is using the US Census Bureau definition of generations, which is that the first gen is the immigrant themselves, second gen their children. That’s how I’ve always understood it.
Makes sense. Trump’s mother was naturalized as an American citizen in 1942, and D. Trump was born in 1946, and by then his mother already called herself American. That would make her first-gen naturalized American in the eyes of the census, and D. Trump second gen given that he was born to a naturalized immigrant.
Technicalities aside, Donald Trump was born in America to a person that just a few years earlier called herself Scottish. He should certainly know about the prevalence of immigration in America, between his own Scottish and German background, and marrying immigrants himself.
I’d be all for the Harris administration labeling Elmo a threat to our democracy, have all of his assets seized, and deported.
That would really give his persecution complex a reason to exist.
Something similar was discussed recently.
Some immigration. You know what kind.
to be fair, im all for deporting african immigrants worth more then 100 billion $
