This is madjo's complete lack of surprise. As soon as he announced his stupid board of piece of shits I knew it was another grift. That money was always going to go into his own bank account, because he only became president to stay out of jail and to make himself rich, and the republicans will just excuse this away as they have with all the other corruption that's been happening from the Soiled House.
The US is a failed experiment.

And all Democrats will offer is sternly-worded letters in "opposition".

Preparing to flee to another country.

Why would he flee to another country? Nothing has happened to him in the us

Usually when he's done fucking something that means it's dead so

Plan A is certainly staying in power, absolute power, in the US.
Plan B might be escaping prosecution for corruption, pedophilia, rape, ... but still with a bigliest bank account.

He was almost domed.

Was he though?
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 204d
No he isn't.
The last year has proven that the Epstein class is untouchable here in the US. They may have to make some kind of symbolic gesture, like Larry Summers' resignation, but that's all it'll be.

Perhaps ShellMonkey means that they themselves are preparing to flee the US
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 204d
Good point. I didn't read it that way.
ShellMonkey@piefed.socdojo.com · 3 pts · 203d
Nah, I would see it like another commented, plan A is taking over as a full dictator, but failing that he would likely try and run to avoid any punishment.

He's safest in the US, SCOTUS is already bought and paid for.
Mirshe@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 203d
He might look it, but not feel it. There's a LOT of eyes looking at the big chair and saying "wow Trump is doing a shitty job, I could easily do better if only he'd move out of the way."

'Well, I didnt vote for him...!'
'It was the dems fault!'
'No deviation from bidens policy'
'Funny laugh'
'All funded by corporate interests'
'Candidates are 'equivalent'(tm)'
'Im a fucking moron'
'Adulting is hard'

Pretty sure ~30% will still answer he will use that better than any UN org for the world's best interests.
Jhex@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 204d
well yes... brainless morons can't help it
floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 16 pts · 203d
Just imagine how all of this will read in the history books.
Also, let's recontextualize how much money $10 billion is, because written like that it just feels like "yeah big number idk"
If you started spending $100k every day, which is a decent amount of money to spend in a day, starting right now, how long would it take you to reach $10B? Take a second, guesstimate in your head.
::: spoiler answer
274 years. At a full $1M per day, that's still 27.4 years to reach $10,000,000,000

You mean the East Wing where they used to molest all the children? Demolished so all the evidence is gone. Many boys, particularly during the Bush era, could explain in intricate detail what the rooms looked like, how many stars were on the ceiling, describing the moldings. It is common to dissociate when getting molested and hyper focus on your surroundings.

Why bother with this grift when you can just nationalize Elons companies and then gift them to yourself?
amorangi@lemmy.nz · 5 pts · 203d
Elon's companies aren't actually worth anything though. Their perceived value is from people believing Elon's blowhard lies.

I thought only congress could allocate funds.

What is an old demented man with a full diaper going to do with all this money?
NekoKoneko@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 204d
He's mentally impaired. A malignant and grandiose narcissist wants more money, attention, fame, and so on for themselves no matter what they have.
danc4498@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 203d
He hasn’t been the same since he for that Taco Bell Peace Prize.
northernlights@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 204d
...which will lead to nothing at all but money in his pockets.
