Video: Jan 24, 2025. Thom Hartmann. Trump didn't win 2024 Election. Investigative journalist Greg Palast proves the 2024 election was handed to Trump through underhanded voter suppression tactics. The only question now is... what do we do now that we know Trump's second term is illegitimate?
Partial Transcript Thom: Our buddy Greg Palast is with us ... So, who won or lost the election?
Greg: It's real simple. If not for vote suppression tactics -- that's a fancy way of saying shafting people of color and young people out of their votes—Kamala Harris would have won by 3,565,000 votes. That's the number of voters denied their right to vote because they were purged, challenged, or had their provisional ballots thrown out.
Let me give you some numbers. The reason I've waited to make this report is that I had to get the data from government agencies, particularly the Elections Assistance Commission. People don't realize that I used to be a professor of statistics and a forensic economist. This is my specialty -- numbers. I've done this work for attorneys general, the U.S. Department of Justice, and other agencies, even for federal courts.
According to the Elections Assistance Commission's official numbers, 4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from the rolls. I'm not making this up. We had experts from Microsoft and Amazon go through every purge name in two states -- Georgia and Wisconsin. For example, in Georgia, we found 198,000 voters who were wrongly removed from the rolls. We even have their names and addresses. Overwhelmingly, these were voters of color.
In Wisconsin, nearly every voter removed by the purge was either a Black voter in Milwaukee or a student in Madison. And this year, we saw a new phenomenon: vigilante voter challenges. For the first time, individual voters could challenge others. For example, I could say, “Thom Hartmann doesn’t live in Portland; he shouldn't be allowed to vote".
By August, there were 317,000 challenges. The NAACP reported over 200,000 challenges in Georgia alone by Election Day.
We also had 2.12 million mail-in ballots rejected. This wouldn't matter if it were random, but it's not. According to a Washington state study, Black voters are 400% more likely to have their mail-in ballots rejected compared to white voters. Washington has the least voter suppression of any state.
The U.S. Civil Rights Commission found that mail-in or in-precinct ballot rejection rates are 900% higher for Black voters than for white voters. Over half a million votes were spoiled because machines couldn’t read them -- again, disproportionately affecting voters of color.
We had 1.2 million provisional ballots rejected. People think, "Oh, I'll fill out a provisional ballot". But 43% of those were thrown out, according to the U.S. government. Provisional ballots are disproportionately given to Black, Hispanic, Latino, and Asian-American voters, who are 300% more likely to receive one than white voters.
Factoring in some double counting, the vote suppression rate was about 2.3%. Kamala Harris would have gained 3.565 million more votes, winning Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, with 286 electoral votes [270 is necessary to win]. These calculations are precise. Without voter suppression tactics, she would have won.

The above video is the first segment from the 1/24/2025 airing of the Thom Hartmann Program. Thom interviews investigative journalist Greg Palast. This is how republicans "win"... they keep throwing out ballots until their guy is the victor.
Greg calls this the "Klan Plan" to suppress the Black vote. Why? He contacted people on the purge list and most of them were African Americans. Greg Palast (who has a background in staticts, data and crunching numbers) shows his work in his article here.
The bottom line is that republiturds stole the election for tRump using voter suppression. Kamala Harris, without voter suppression, would now be president with 286 electoral college votes and over 1 million more popular votes.
Time to celebrate the end of democracy and the beginning of the transition to fascism! All hail the Orange Turd Emperor, d0n0ld the Great, our White Supremacist savior, inaugurated today, 1/20/2025.

Video: Nov 4, 2024. Fascist tendencies in Trump: A comparison to Hitler's rise. DW News. An unsettling question has been dominating the US presidential race: Is Donald Trump a fascist? Some have even compared him to Nazi Adolf Hitler. DW New's Washington Bureau Chief Ines Pohl sat down with Timothy Ryback, historian and author of Take Over: Hitler's Final Rise to Power.
Transcript from 2:43
Timothy Ryback: Trump did say he would be dictator for one day, on day one. And he identifies that as a modality for governance and rule, which we've known for millennia that, you know, authoritarian rules, rulers. And, you know, Hitler definitely embraced that. And I think Trump's embrace of that authoritarian rule, the vengeance, all of that is the most unsettling part of it. But I think this inherent view that democratic processes are not the best way to run a country is certainly unquestionably a key fascistic trait. 2:43 to 3:31.
Hitler himself declared that he was going he vowed to destroy democracy through democratic process. He had to appear in court as a witness at a trial in 19th September 1931. And Hitler basically said this to the judge, that he was out to destroy democracy through democratic process. The judge said so, but through Constitution and processes, Hitler gave a one word answer. Ja vol (yes absolutely). And he would, I think were the most astonishing things, was watching him dissemble this Democratic Republic, you know, piece by piece, very systematically in a very skilled and cunning way. 3:31 to 4:17.
Ines Pohl: Do you think that this is one of the biggest fear was the Trump administration, that he
really will undermine the democratic structure here in the United States? 4:17 to 4:26.
Timothy Ryback: I personally am concerned. We do have guardrails. I've studied, as have many scholars, the guardrails that existed for the Weimar Republic. But it's how these constitutional protections can be protected, how resilient they can be against a, you know, determined autocrat. What I will remind you is that, you know, Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. Joseph Goebbels said, once we're in office, he said they're going to have to drag us out as corpses. And in April of 1945, that's exactly what happened, was the only way they ended this, that government. 4:26 to 5:25.
What's interesting is that the Weimar constitution remained in place throughout the entire Third Reich. I mean, the basis of governance was the Weimar Constitution. All you know, it was suspended, but it still existed. And so I think, for the U.S. Constitution, for all the protections that are there, it's only as strong, it's only as resilient as the people who are there to protect it. 5:25 to 5:56.
One of the most worrying [things] for me is, you know, Hitler said that once he was in office, heads would roll -- a verbatim quote about of Hitler. Trump didn't say that, but he did say bring out the guillotine. And I do think this notion of vengeance against political opponents is unsettling because there are various instruments of government for applying that kind of vengeance. 5:25 to 6:30.
The other thing that I think it might add to this was, Hitler was ridiculed. Throughout his entire political [career]. He was considered a buffoon. They called him out on all kinds of things. But the point was, the fall of 32 when Hitler was at his high watermark. And you said, you know, for 12 years people have been laughing at me. No one's laughing now, which read in retrospect as chilling. 6:30 to 7:02.
Ines Pohl: I'm covering this election intensely, Fascism's concept of masculinity traveling a lot. And my feeling is it's also really a gender election. So maybe you can talk a little bit about the concept of masculinity in the fascist world and maybe also compare it to the Trump world a little bit. 7:02 to 7:17.
Timothy Ryback: ...clearly there was this hyper masculinity among the national Socialists. Mussolini strutting. They did even, you know, Hitler with this presence and the people he surrounded himself with. There is a clear element to that. But, you know, clearly that's playing a role in this current election. You look at the Republican candidate, you look at the vice presidential candidate, you listen to the remarks that are that are being made. 7:17 to 7:54.
But oddly enough, Adolf Hitler polled very well among women in Germany at the time. And I don't know if it's changed his attitude. You know, second and third wave feminism has changed it. But Hitler did very well among women, with the electorate sometimes polling better among women than than among men. 8:24 to 8:31.
Ines Pohl: Maybe you can talk a little bit about the importance of free press, of media? 7:54 to 8:32.
**skip**
Timothy Ryback: ...frankly, in the press today -- and I mean, clearly I'm a New York Times reader ... But I've started watching Fox News to try to make sense out of what is going on. And, when you look at the same event being reported by these two entities, you get something completely different here. 9:12 to 9:35.
**skip**
What's amazing to me about fascists or these right wing extremists in Germany at the time, they understood democratic processes as well as anyone. And you know, it was Joseph Goebbels when they entered the parliament the day of the Reichstag, the legislative body, essentially Congress. He said, well, we did not come as friends. We did not come as neutrals. We come as enemies. They knew how to gridlock the legislative process. And, you know, Goebbels at one point said, you know, the big joke on democracy is that they give their own mortal enemies the means to their own destruction. 10:12 to 10:57.
**skip**
What he intended to do, though the publican of explicit fake news, was to hollow out the center, polarize public opinion in communities, in neighborhoods, even in families. 11:17 to 11:32.
Ines Pohl: Do you think Donald Trump studied Adolf Hitler? 11:32 to 11:36.
**skip**
Timothy Ryback: [No] According to Vanity Fair he did keep a copy of Hitler's speeches... I think he understood Hitler's rhetoric and his speeches very well. 12:28 to 12:41.
**end transcript excerpt**
Is d0n0ld tRump Hitler reincarnated? Or possibly the Antichrist? I certainly cannot say if either of those are true. Though it's very obvious there are many parallels between Adolf Hitler and d0n0ld tRump. Hitler hated democracy and successfully overthrew it. d0n0ld tRump hates democracy and seeks to overthrow it.
Both Joe Biden and Kalama Harris warned that d0n0ld is an existential threat to democracy. The voters failed to heed this warning and now we will see what happens. We all know d0n0ld will go farther than violating norms this time. Now that the corrupt scotus has granted him criming immunity, it is assured he will crime. Guaranteed. Whether or not democracy survives is up in the air, but it is for certain that we are in for a bumpy ride.
Also, many Americans will have hardship inflicted on them. Also non-citizens, who are to be immediately targeted. Though the ensuing misery is greatly desired by trump's cultists. So long as the person suffering the misery isn't them or any of their loved ones. Many will be surprised to find out that, yes, they are included among those who will suffer.
We are in the "fvck around and find out" phase starting NOW. Me, I'd rather we never found out. Because we took the much wiser path and elected Kamala Harris.
A caller to the Thom Hartmann Program (on the 20th) said "I believe he is going to trigger a national emergency, possibly using a border incident, and he will declare martial law and nullify the Constitution". In reply Thom said, "I think that is entirely possible".
Viewing the images included in this post, one cannot deny the unparalleled brilliance of Hunter Biden's masterpieces. Is Hunter Biden a modern day Jackson Pollock? My assessment is, yes, he is.
Maybe one day Hunter Biden's art will sell for hundreds of millions of dollars per piece? Clearly this is inevitable. I think the purchase of a piece by Hunter Biden is a solid investment which will pay off bigly for all who make the wise decision to buy one. Or have already purchased one.
Not that long in the future people will hail Hunter Biden as a visionary artist, while vaguely remembering he was also the son of one of America's greatest presidents, Joe Biden. And that he was pardoned after being the subject of a politically-motivated persecution witch hunt.
In a post on another blog it is alleged that Hunter Biden has produced masterpieces featuring dragon eggs, though I'm unaware that any of Hunter's gems are supposed to represent any kind of egg. This blogger suggests the value of Hunter Biden's triumphs will decrease, rather than increase, in value. I strongly disagree.
The Minus FJ post also notes that a number of Hunter Biden works of art were destroyed in the currently raging California fires, which is a tragedy beyond comprehension. Hunter's lawyer Kevin Morris says 200 pieces valued at millions of dollars were incinerated. That is billions in future value, gone! Each one a snapshot into the mind of the artistic prodigy, Robert Hunter Biden.
This adds upwards of (potentially) 4 billion to the already staggering (estimated) sum of $250 billion to $275 billion in damage caused by the climate change fueled California fires. The world weeps. Mostly for the victims of the California fires, but also for the loss of so many priceless pieces of art produced by the artistic maestro, Hunter Biden.
btw, some rich Turd named Shaun Maguire says Hunter rented a home from him and didn't pay. This d0n0ld supporter claims that Hunter owes him 300k and tried to pay with poop art. But Snopes points out that Shaun never tried to recover this alleged debt, evidence that strongly suggests Shaun is a liar.
Question submitted to the Micosoft AI Copilot on 1/4/2025....
Me: According to the ghost writer of "the art of the deal", he interviewed donald trump a few times, then wrote the book. Given this, couldn't it be categorized as fiction? I don't think it's donald trump's advice on business, it is only presented as such. Yet he seems to take full credit for "writing" it. When his imput was minimal. That's my understanding, at least. I've seen the author talk about it on tv.
Copilot: You're right about Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal." He has openly discussed how he wrote the book based on a few interviews with Donald Trump and his own observations. Schwartz has expressed regret over his involvement, stating that he took on the project for the money and that he now views the book as "blood money". [1] [2].
Schwartz has also mentioned that he believes the book should be categorized as fiction because it presents an idealized version of Trump that doesn't align with reality [3]. Despite this, Trump has taken full credit for the book and often references it as a testament to his business acumen.
It's an interesting situation where the lines between fact and fiction are blurred, and it raises questions about authorship and the portrayal of public figures.
Video: Nov 4, 2016. Tony Schwartz discusses The Truth About Trump at an Oxford Union Q&A. He has publically renounced "the art of the deal".
Video: Jan 22, 2021. Jennifer Palmieri sits down with the ghostwriter for Trump: The Art of the Deal, Tony Schwartz, to discuss what he feels is going in Trump's mind during the final days of his presidency.
Video:. Jan 13, 2024. Mea Culpa with Michael Cohen. We welcome back to the show, Tony Schwartz. A former columnist for The New York Post, and associate editor at Newsweek, he was also a reporter for The New York Times and a staff writer at New York Magazine and Esquire. In 1985, Schwartz began interviewing Donald Trump to ghostwrite Trump: "The Art of the Deal" for which he was given co-author credit. Art of the Deal was published in 1987; some say it sold Trump to the public as a successful businessman. Today, Tony will help us understand more fully who Trump was back then and who he has become.
At 45 minutes into the first video, Tony Schwartz says, "...when he came down from that escalator to announce his candidacy and he said, you know, "the people streaming in from Mexican from Mexico are rapists" -- that was not spontaneous. He'd been planning that line for a long long time. And he had figured out quite some years earlier that he could stoke the fears and interest of a certain constituency by creating a polarized world and setting up, in this case, Mexicans but subsequently Muslims and blacks and women and, you know, virtually everybody but white men, as the enemy. So I do think that there was a lot of conscious thinking about this.
What's interesting to me, over the last six weeks since Steve Bannon has taken over his campaign... Steve has been, and is a you know, leader of the what's now called the alt-right but you know in the old days would have been called the Ku Klux Klan.

Video: Dec 27, 2024. The Vanguard hosts discuss Cenk Uygur being called out by Marc Lamont Hill. Cenk got "cooked" according to Zac and Gavin.
Transcript from 26:42
Mark Lamont Hill: I think one way the one thing a white supremacist hates being called as a white supremacist. The one thing that racists hate being called is a racist. And usually the people calling them racist and white supremacist are the people who are catching hell from them. And so I think it's sort of bizarre to police the language or to tell someone -- for example -- hey, that person that hates Muslims? It's not helpful you to... that person that called you a towel head? That person that called you a devil worshiper? That person that called you a pagan and a rapist? It's not helpful to call them Islamaphobic. 26:42 to 27:07.
Zac: And I would like to get your reaction to this, Gavin. Because I feel like one of the big moral achievements that this country accomplished over the last 100 years was making everybody at least agree in theory -- definitely not in practice, but in theory -- racism and white supremacism is wrong. Up until, you know, ah God I don't I mean still to this day in our country right? But up until very recent history, it was just taken as gospel by most people, right? Most white people, I should say, right. But even some non-white people -- because they were so brainwashed and propagandized, right? Uh, that you know, you've got, you know people of you know non-black, uh, ancestry trying to make excuses for white supremacy. We see that in American culture as well. It's a very interesting dynamic. It's something that's permeated our culture in so many different ways that even somebody who would be negatively impacted by white supremacy in one instance is positively impacted in another. And they say, oh I guess I'll take the little benefits that I can get. 27:07 to 28:04.
But, because of the struggle of folks who did such a great job organizing the American public and forcing them to reckon with the sheer inhumanity of white supremacy, right? Of the Jim Crow South. Of all of that. They they won the moral argument that nobody should be a white supremacist. So now what we're constantly facing is gaslighting from folks -- oh, I'm not a white supremacist! Oh, I'm not a racist! Because it the argument's already been won. That being a racist is bad, right? So now they're all just on the bike all the time trying to disguise themselves trying to be racist covertly instead of just acknowledging what they are. Because everybody on a surface level understands that prejudice on the basis of race, you know, creed religion whatever is superficial and immoral. 28:04 to 28:52.
Gavin: Yeah. And again, also as I talked about basically just describing their white, or sorry, disguising their white supremacism and racism is like some economic prescription. Like, oh, I -- it's not that I -- it's not that I want to live in a only a country with white people, uh, but you know for the sake of the economy -- we got to get all these brown people out. And that is the central message of the Republican party. It's a bunch of justifications for the mass deportation of everyone who's not white. ...everyone that doesn't look white. 28:52 to 29:21.
That's the point. Trump said Haiti is a sh!thole hole country and that we should accept more immigrants from Sweden. Why do you think that is? Because the people in Sweden are white, obviously. Literally, as Chenk had this conversation, the entire magga movement was melting down on Twitter because they realized Elon Musk has hired a bunch of immigrants that work for Tesla. You know what I'm saying? And now they're calling him a traitor. Why? Because he employs people that aren't white Americans. So yeah, it's 100% central to the movement ... to act like that's not the case. And to act like that's not something that we can even talk about is just gaslighting. It's total madness. 29:21 to 29:58.
And that's not to say that every single Republican voter is a white supremacist. I think that most people understand that too. Like say you know you're at Thanksgiving or Christmas with your grandpa and he's like, you know, I all this hip-hop music -- there's too much of it. I remember back in the day when there was more country music or some sh!t. Like, I don't know, something like that. That doesn't necessarily mean your grandpa's a fvcking white supremacist, obviously. Just because someone repeats something that's kind of racist sounding doesn't necessarily make them a white supremacist. Even if they vote Republic and I don't necessarily think that's the case. 29:58 to 30:31.
But the people that Cenk is talking to in America First rally America Fest or whatever the fvck? Those people are 100% racists. Those people are 100% white supremacists. They've literally made an entire broadcasting career off of preaching that sh!t. It's not controversial. It's a matter of fact. 30:31 to 30:50.
Mark Lamont Hill: Oh, that person that called you a ni**er? Oh no, no, no. It's not help for you to call them white supremacist. That feels paternalistic. And almost dis -- know and is respectful to the people who are victimized by it. You may think it's -- you may think it's unhelpful. But I actually don't think it's your place or anyone else's place ... it be like say I don't think it's helpful ... saying to women, I don't think it's helpful for for for you guys to call Trump sexist or misogynistic. I don't think that's helpful ladies. I mean come on! You see why somebody would find a problematic claim for you to make? 30:50 to 31:21.
Cenk Uygur: Hold on. You're you're conflating two things that is super unfair.
Gavin: No.
Cenk Uygur: Because you can call them anything you like. I'm not stopping you from calling them -- I'm not stopping women from calling them whatever they want. I'm just telling you what I'm doing, right.
Zac: "I don't care if you want to take up arms against these people. I want to get their money, man. These guys rolling in the dough, right. So you might have your whole moral convictions. You might have, you know, this instinct in you that tells tells you to fight for what's right and just in this world. But me brother, I'm out for number one. I'm out for TYT, yeah". 31:21 to 31:55.
Gavin: 100% 100%. It's so stupid. It's so stupid um yeah it's like you obviously are telling people not to say that, Cenk. He says I'm not telling you what to say but you just said it's unhelpful to do this. You just said it's unhelpful to call people that when that's what they are you literally just told people it's unhelpful to accurately identify folks as again exactly what the fvck they are. 31:55 to 32:17.
Um, that's completely and utterly fvcking ridiculous. Just from a a matter of like, honesty.I'm sorry Cenk, but you're not a presidential candidate. You're not an adviser to the Democratic party. I kind of understand the argument. I think Cenk makes it at one point in this interview. I kind of understand the argument that, like you know, should Kamla Harris call Donald Trump a white supremist? Probably not. Or, you know, fill in the blank with whoever is, uh the Democratic nominee. I think there's a reasonable case to be made there that you know whoever the next Democratic nominee is probably shouldn't call all of Maga a white supremist movement. 32:17 to 32:50.
Um, because that probably could turn off a lot of magga Voters that potentially could be persuaded to vote Democrat. But Cenk, you're not a freaking adviser to the Democratic party. You're a member of the media whose role -- up until this point has been to speak truth to power -- that's what you brand yourself. As you call yourself a populist who stands up to the establishment. Guess what? That's different than being a political strategist. You're not a you're not on the payroll of the DNC. Your job is not to get more Democrats elected. Your job is to speak truth to power. And guess what power right now? The establishment -- it's magot and it's time to be fvcking honest about him. Because, like I said, it's not your job to win back votes or some sh!t. It's your job to be honest and tell people the fvcking truth. 32:50 to 33:35.
**skip**
Gavin: Trump is easily within -- like it's again, this is not anything controversial, to say. But it is ... unironically true that Donald Trump is the most outwardly blatantly bigoted person to ever, uh, achieve High office in my lifetime [big skip] He doubled down he ran an even more racist campaign this time. In fact 2016 looks almost, you know, sanitized compared to the rhetoric this time around. If you go back to 2016, was it bad, yeah, but like, you know the -- bring in the worst the rapists, the criminals -- you know. It qas almost like softspoken. ... in comparison to this round. It was like, yep we fvcking hate Haitian people. We need to get them out of Ohio. They're eating dogs. They're eating cats. They're raping women. Like this was his message. That is the number one message of maga. 33:35 to 39:17.

To call maga White Supremacist is to tell the truth. I 100 percent agree with that. White Supremacy is the Left's old and new opponent. White Supremacists dislike being called out. Like Minus FJ. He keeps insisting he isn't a White Supremacist, but he voted for one.
Identifying as a classical liberal doesn't mean he isn't also a White Supremacist. As per a 2018 HuffPost article, "For Fancy Racists, Classical Liberalism Offers Respect, Intrigue". The article goes on to say "Whatever classical liberals say about their ideas, in practice they have always functioned as a respectable intellectual veneer for authoritarian politics".
Ludwig von Mises applauded Benito Mussolini's Fascist Party and "similar movements aiming at the establishment of dictatorships" across Europe, saying they had, "for the moment, saved European civilization".
Saved from Communism. According to Minus FJ, "fascism is capitalism aka anti-communism". There you have it. Minus FJ supports fascism. By his own admission. Authoritarian leaders frequently demagogue minorities, as d0n0ld does. It is a bigly component of his campaign.
The mass deportations will begin as soon as he is sworn into office. But the deportations won't be race based and not therefore not racist. These are people who entered the United States illegally and don't belong here. d0n0ld will simply uphold the laws. Laws that have been "ignored" by both parties for decades. Or so some d0n0ld supporters say.
In reality it will be Hispanic looking people and Asian people who will be targeted. Maybe they will call it Operation Wetback 2.0? The Guardian points out that d0n0ld has claimed "crime will come down when the immigrants are gone ... because murder is in their genes".
Post authored by the Anti-White Supremacist Anti-Racist Leftist blogger Dervish Sanders. wym348.
The alleged proof is Joe Biden's approval rating, which an attached chart (to the Minus FJ post) says was 38 percent sometime recently. Due to his being successfully blamed for problems d0n0ld tRump created during his first presidency. Also for being old, even though, if he is inagurated, d0n0ld will be the oldest president ever to take the oath of office.
This despite the fact that d0n0ld is inegible to be president. Given that he participated in insurrection against the United States. By instigating it. Meaning he is ineligible to hold the office.
As per Wikipedia, "Trump's role in the January 6 United States Capitol attack is cited by opponents as a reason for his disqualification from seeking public office. A state may also make a determination that Trump is disqualified under Section 3 from appearing on that state's ballot. Trump could appeal in court any disqualification by Congress or by a state. In addition to state or federal legislative action, a court action could be brought against Trump seeking his disqualification under Section 3. The 14th Amendment itself provides a path for Congress to allow such a candidate to run, but this would require a vote of two-thirds of each House to remove such disability".
There has been no vote held by Congress, thus, while the corrupt supreme court said d0n0ld could not be kept off any ballot, he cannot hold the office of the presidency. He will be illegitimate president. According to Jimmy Carter, d0n0ld was an illegitimate president the first time around. This time there can be no doubt that d0n0ld, as an insurrectionist, will be 100 percent illegitimate. He cannot Constitutionally take the oath of office.

The pr0-d0n0ld bl0gger Minus FJ says Democrats are an "elite party run by billionaires". Apparently he believes it's impossible for the Democratic Party to represent the average American because working class Americans aren't running the DNC.
Meanwhile, republicans CAN represent Average Americans, because tRump's incoming cabinet can relate to working class Americans. Proven by their lowly net worths... @@
Reports indicate that the combined wealth of Trump's cabinet members is around $340 billion, making it 2,881 times richer than Biden's cabinet, which had a combined wealth of about $118 million.
Here are some of the notable picks for Trump's cabinet and administration and their estimated net worths...
01. Elon Musk. Department of Government Efficiency. $344.6 Billion.
02. Charles Kushner. Ambassador to France. Estimated net worth: $7 billion (Kushner family).
03. Stephen Feinberg. Deputy Defence Secretary (offered). $4.8 Billion.
04. Warren Stephens. Ambassador to the United Kingdom. $3.4 billion.
05. Linda McMahon. Department of Education. $2.5 billion (shared with Vince McMahon).
06. Howard Lutnick. Commerce Secretary. $1.5 billion.
07. Doug Burgum. Department of the Interior. $1.1 billion.
08. Vivek Ramaswamy. Department of Government Efficiency. $1.1 Billion.
09. Steve Witkoff. Middle East envoy. $1 Billion.
10. Scott Bessent. Department of Treasury. Not listed, but known Billionaire.
11. Frank Bisignano. Head of the Social Security Administration. $974 Million.
Trump assembling US cabinet of billionaires worth combined $340 Billion. 12/6/2024 Article from The Guardian by Robert Tait. Excerpts.
Enough billionaires and multimillionaires have been assembled by Donald Trump to fill key roles in his nascent administration to form a soccer team. In a recruitment process that appears to mock his campaign's appeal to working-class voters, the president-elect has brazenly tapped a gallery of mega-rich backers for key positions that, in some instances, will give them power to cut spending on public services that are used by the most poor and vulnerable.
At least 11 picks for strategic positions after Trump returns to the White House in January have either achieved billionaire status themselves, have billionaire spouses or are within touching distance of that threshold. The net result will be the wealthiest administration in US history -– worth a total of $340 Billion at the start of this week, before Trump further boosted its monetary value by trying to appoint at least three more billionaires.
The Economic Times says "Trump 2.0 cabinet is far richer than his first term cabinet and almost 2881 times richer than the outgoing president, Joe Biden's cabinet, which has a combined wealth of a mere $118 Million.
Going by the picks so far, it looks like Turd-2 will be 2881 times more out of touch than the Biden Administration. Yet Minus believes that d0n0ld's cabinet of Bilionaires will somehow be MORE attuned to the needs and concerns of working class Americans? Yeah, that's a claim that is obviously bullplop.
Though I think the point Minus is making is that Democrats run on being for the working class. While republicans run as being for the wealthy. So republicans are adhearing to their promise (with these billionaire appoinments) to inflict hardship on the average American.
And, apparently, that is what the voters who cast their ballots for tRump/Vance were hungering for. They love hardship and want more of it. Well, they are going to get it. Along with people who didn't want hardship, and so voted for Harris/Walz. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
Video: Dec 6, 2024. India Today Global. President-elect Donald Trump is assembling the wealthiest cabinet in US history, with a combined net worth of over $340 billion. From tech moguls like Elon Musk to business tycoons like Linda McMahon and Vivek Ramaswamy, what does this mean for the working class?
These billionaires are taking these jobs to futher enrich themselves. Elon Musk admitted, his goal is to inflict hardship on the American people. While he personally gets significantly richer. As Joy Reid said recently on her MSNBC program, Turd-2 will be the largest smash-and-grab in human history.

"Devon Archer was paid by Russian assets to be Hunter Biden's handler. Devon Archer took Hunter to Kazakhstan and that is where they took his laptop"... paraphrase.
That is as per Lev Parnas. He revealed this on MSNBC during an interview with Ali Velshi on the 11th hour. Ali was filling in for Stephanie Ruhle on 9/20/2024. I was going to embed a video clip, but it looks like there isn't one. Though I saw it myself and wrote down what Lev said.
This means that John Paul Mac Isaac bigly lied. Hunter Biden did not drop off a laptop at his shop for repair then fail to return to pick it up. I always strongly suspected this story was false. Because nobody would be dumb enough to turn over a laptop with incriminating and/or embarassing material on it. Because a data recovery person is definitely going to see what's on your device.
What Hunter would have done (if he had needed his laptop repaired) would be to pull the hard drive and tell the repair dude to put a new one in. Then later download his data from the cloud to the new hard drive after he got his repaired laptop back. Or (and this is more likely) he'd have bought a new laptop and downloaded his data from the cloud to his new laptop. He can afford a new laptop. Then disposed of the old laptop (after REMOVING the hard drive).
But Hunter Biden never needed to take his laptop to a repair shop. Because his laptop wasn't damaged, it was stolen. Why, during the recent trial (the one where Hunter was convicted on BS gun charges), it was confirmed that the laptop in possession of the FBI was his actual laptop. But that's because it was the one that was stolen.
This means that the laptop is definitely Russian misinformation. Proven by it being stolen in Kazakhstan and then later claimed to have been left at Mac Isaac's repair shop. This fake story wouldn't have been concocted if there was nothing to hide.
Video: Inside Edition. Nov 10, 2022. Hunter Biden's laptop whistleblower is speaking out. John Paul Mac Isaac used to own a computer repair shop in Delaware. Hunter Biden is said to have brought the water-damaged laptop to the shop in April 2019. When Biden failed to pick up the computer after 90 days, the laptop became Mac Isaac's property.
Mac Isaac is a liar. I will put forth an alternate theory, however. It is possible that Giuliani hired someone to pose as Hunter Biden and fool Mac Isaac. Meaning he was duped. Which could have been possible because Isaac has said he "is legally blind and could not be sure whether the man was actually Hunter Biden".
Though he was sure enough to write a book. And give interviews with news outlets like "Inside Edition". He approached Rudy Giuliani, huh? That's BS. And definitely a lie. I say he should be arrested and offered a deal if he flips on Giuliani. But obviously that isn't going to happen now.
I suspect the Turd-2 DOJ is going to come after Hunter Biden HARD. And bring a lot more charges against him. The charges will be related to his work with Burisma Holdings and his father's (imaginary) actions to protect him and his lucrative job. Why Joe Biden (as VP) told Ukranian president President Petro Poroshenko that he had to fire the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin, or One Billion in aid would be cancelled.
That is according to rightturds. They say Biden was protecting his son, Hunter. Hunter was paid by Mykola Zlochevsky, the oligarch that owned Burisma, to get his dad to get Viktor Shokin fired. Because Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma. But that's all BS and the exact opposite of the truth. Viktor Shokin declined to investigate Burisma. With his firing, it was more, not less likely that Burisma would be investigagted.
Also, "the push to remove Viktor Shokin was not just Joe Biden's initiative. It was part of a broader international effort to address corruption in Ukraine. President Barack Obama, along with representatives from the European Union, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the World Bank, all supported the call for Shokin's removal" (Copilot quote).
I suspect that the Turd-2 AG will use Hunter Biden as leverage against Joe Biden in a potential prosecution of Joe Biden. Because tRump definitely wants bigly revenge against the soon-to-be ex-president.
Excerpts from the Stephanie Miller Show, 4/1/2022.
Stephanie Miller: We were just talking about the media covering Hunter Biden again. Instead of this (ex-predisent donald tRump appealing to Vlad Putin for help).
Hal Sparks: Or, instead of 3.6 unemployment and Biden creating more jobs in 14 months than any president in US history. ... Of course this has to come out. The Washington Post story is the biggest pile of hot garbage I have ever seen in my life. There is no Hunter Biden laptop. The story title is "how we analyzed the hunter biden laptop", and they admit in it they never saw the damn thing. They got a hard drive from a dude -- and ultimately has a "well, there's a lot of missing data, and everything has been copied and recopied so many times, we can't tell what's from where. But we can guarantee that 100 of these emails are genuine because other people have copies of them.
Like the Russians wouldn't know that and go, "yeah, why do you think we hacked into Burisma? To get 100 real emails, mix them with 129k other fakes, and then plant the story". ... This new wave of stories all stems from the NYT story, which says in it, literaly, "these are emails that appear to be from the Hutner Biden laptop. OK, once you put "appears to be" in an article about digital information, go away.
This is a re-do of the Hillary Clinton email scandal, which turned out to be nothing. Her server was the only server during her time at State that never got hacked by a foreign entity. I mean, come on.
The title of the article isn't "how we analyzed the hunter biden laptop". The title of the story Hal is talking about is "how the Post analyzed the Hunter biden laptop" and was published on the Stars and Stripes website. But it appears as though the article originally had the title Hal says and was originally published on the WP website. Then later removed from that website.
As per that title, it sounds like the Post is claiming it had the Hunter Biden laptop in their possession. But they did not. The Post never "analyzed the Hunter biden laptop". That article title is BS.
The truth is that the HD is Russian propaganda. Given that Hunter's laptop was confirmed to have been stolen with assistance by Devon Archer. His "handler", as confirmed by Lev Parnas.
Then they took a HD with data copied from Hunter's hacked iCloud account and inserted it into the stolen laptop. Files on the laptop were surely modified to include Russian misinformation. As was originally reported.
If anyone on the Left "admitted" the Hunter Biden laptop was real, it was only due to the ongoing and very persistent gaslighting on the issue from the right.
The laptop is "real" in that it was a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden (and was then stolen). And the data is "real" in that it is his data that existed in his iCloud account (which was hacked). But it is not real in that it was put-together. The components being the stolen laptop plus iCloud hacked data plus Russian misinformation.
Video: Confirmed. Hunter Biden Laptop is a hoax. Hal Sparks Megaworldwide. Streamed live on Apr 1, 2022.
I was calling the laptop "imaginary", but it is a real thing. It would be better to call it FAKE. Because it is a manufactured thing. Manufactured by Russian agents and Rudy Guliani. Rudy's job being to concoct the phony story involving John Paul Mac Issac and Hunter Biden bringing (then never picking up) his laptop from this lying Turd's repair shop. That's something that never happened.
Also as per Lev Parnas, "They knew they didn't have the evidence to prove it (the Hunter and Joe Biden allegations) because the evidence was made up stuff I was giving them". Lev Parnas said this to Stephanie Miller on the 9/20/2024 airing of her show.
Lev Parnas knows the Hunter Biden laptop story is bullplop because he was involved in spreading the bullplop. Though he later went out of his way to tell the truth. He testified before congress on 3/19/2024 and said "the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, while personally embarrassing, contained no evidence of financial or political criminal activity and had no connection to Joe Biden at all".
Breaking News: At 6:18pm Central Time on MSNBC it was announced that Joe Biden will has pardoned is son, Hunter. This, IMO, was a very good decision. I was concerned that he wouldn't. But he made the right decision.
