This guy walks away from multiple court cases that should have landed him in jail, he’s been fleecing everyone he’s ever done business with with, he lies each time he takes a breath, he’s sexually assaulted women, …and now HE’s being paid $15 million. It’s fucking laughable. But here’s what I know,… in my 60 years “what goes around comes around” has played out in all its glory. And it always comes around. It may take some time, but it does. The original Teflon Don (Gotti) got away with murder, literally, and it seemed he’d just go on beating the rap. Well, it came around and he went to the worst fucking prison in the country and was ravaged by cancer and died. It’s going to come around on this Teflon Don, it’s just a question of when and how. Karma has a strange way of letting you know you’ve been a bad boy.

In my 74 years, Nixon walked away free, Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize instead of being tried as a war criminal, and to bring it to the present time, two people who aren't natural born citizens are about to take over our government while crippling our federal civil service. Is that about right?

You are right. And that's why we must stand up and valiantly resist the fascist tidal wave that is permeating not only our country but the world as well. We owe it to our children and their children.

I almost loathe musk more than trump. Of course musk wouldn’t be where he is without Trump, trying to take away Medicaid to give himself a few more billions.

What is the point? He probably got billions richer again today with his Tesla stock up another $23.

How much do these people need?

For what purpose?

Are they so soulless and empty inside, so possessed of miniature sized “manhood“?

Never mind, we know the answer to that.

`And GWB and Cheney The Dick got away with lying us into two wars for fun and profit. In case you forgot, Cheney made $39.5 billion US from no-bid contracts.

We can only hope. He needs to be held accountable, and his shitty family too.

Yes, every one of them, though right now I don’t have much hope for that. It’s revolting.

I really wish I could believe that.

Bob - I feel you. I'm so disheartened by this world we live in. I wish there was somewhere safe, but I believe democratic ideals are in trouble everywhere.

We have to be encouraged by the places that rejected autocracy and those like South Korea, where the people demonstrated and within 24 hours prevented martial law from being enacted.

There are huge differences. For just one biggie, in S. Korea the police and army were sympathetic to the people. In America, we will have Hegseth and he is anything but. Once he cleanses the top brass in the military of all but those swearing loyalty the response to the people resisting martial law would be more night than day.

That would be really great, if that were to happen. However, he’s gotten away with everything for 78 years and the more dangerous he gets, the more he’s loved and supported. Sadly, we will never see him get his “karma.”

Well... if he strips the VA he might. There are a lot of pissed off veterans out there. Stripping promised lifelong disability compensation & healthcare services to people who used sniper rifles & other weapons for a living & millions of other veterans may have a little somethin somethin to say about that karma.

We can only hope and pray someone will take care of it! My stomach turns every time I hear or see him... God help us all... I'm so fed up with him, his family, and all his billionaires and Republican friends! Is going to be a very dark 4 years.

Funny thing about Karma; it might not happen when you want it, but the universe will always exact its justice. Past despots and demons have ALWAYS fallen. God wouldn't have it any other way.

I have been screaming for years now, `Where is that Bitch Karma?'

I just hate that we have to suffer for him to go through what he is going to go through!

I sincerely hope you're correct. But it hasn't come soon enough. He has already done too much damage to our democracy.
