While America bleeds jobs and families count pennies at checkout lines, the tech titans gorge themselves on power, carving up the future like it’s their private buffet.
As we come to expect, an excellent article, Michael, that makes me sick to my stomach. They are demonstrating in Washington D.C. as I write this. We have to take to the streets, peacefully.
We have a lunatic running the country in to the ground. We lost EVERYTHING we know to be honest, caring, and good. Trump and co want to make the government NO longer functional! Who’s going to stop his tyranny?
A cosy tie-up between the Three Musketeers: Trump; Musk; and Putin!
Trump brought in Musk on condition that he used his Starlink technology (dependent on Putin's satellites!) to manipulate election voting machinery electronically and remotely.
This worked - and SEVEN swing states somehow swung completely behind Trump - decisively! One swing state even returned ZERO VOTES for Kamala Harris! Ludicrous!
Project 2025 - Neo-Fascist Dictatorship - well and truly on its way in!
"The Problem" is America now being in the grip of a Neo-Fascist Dictator - Trump!
Irrespective of what the causes were and exactly what led up to it, THIS is the problem NOW - because if you don't find a way to solve this particular problem, then I'm afraid America as you know it will be gone for the rest of your lifetime!
Neo-Fascist billionaires control too much - and they won't give up this advantage without a fight! The Republican Party has destroyed its reputation for the foreseeable future, and the Democrats seem to be stuck in a quicksand of their own making. None of this is good news for America and its place as the Leader of the Free World.
Sustained existence in these conditions will see a deterioration in the quality of life, and then jobs, homes, marriages, and long-term prospects.
The purpose of Neo-Fascism is to create a two-tier system of masters and slaves. That means destroying the Middle Classes - exactly what Trump is in the process of doing! First, he is securing his base by installing his supporters in all the essential positions of the Government. He is undermining the Justice system, and he is in the process of taking full control of the media - including social media. He will gain access to all public records, and once he has control of your bank accounts, your lives will effectively be over as free citizens. You will not be able to move without his self-serving say-so.
He will be very happy for you to protest in a nice, quiet, non-threatening way - because he can simply ignore you. That will appease some people, but it won't mean a thing to those who value freedom of thought, movement, and action!
THE PROBLEM IS NOW! THE SOLUTION MUST ALSO BE NOW!
The majic number is 3.5%....12 million full time activist/protesters to save democracy....now to save your health and your life!!! The Maggot Orange Cult will let you die from a pandemic, natural disaster, starvation and/or torture...death in a concentration camp......these Taco/Cankles Fake Christians from Hades are on a suicide mission...Mission Target..."Qwn the Libs!!"
Tax them ALL at the Eisenhower rate of 90%, with no loopholes, on what they currently have and everything they make, no exceptions, since they’ve gotten tax refunds in the $Millions AND paid $0 in taxes. That would level the playing field back down again, especially if all of Muskrat’s government contracts are nullified and HE has to pay to keep them going!
DEI and other misguided policies is one of the ways Trump won. People should not be hired based on ethnicity nor shoukd they be not hired based on ethnicity
Want real discussion of racism ditch the useless programs for something simpler. Having various cultures and ethnic groups spent time around eachother.
Whites woukd be able to see for themselves what minorities go through and minorities coukd see for themselves what non- minorities face.
The only way to end racism is to stop making everything about our race and starting making connections on our shared human experience.
This used to happen in public school. You were all together and found out that some kids were nice and others weren’t. And that color or religion had nothing to do with it. You also found out that adults were just the same, except some said very nasty things about others that were not true. Now when education is both over-regulated and under-regulated and everyone thinks whatever they think is true and education and expertise mean nothing, that equal place is gone. 👹
I want to know who Co-conspirator #1 and #2 that were part of Epstein's NPA. He paid them 100k and 250k respectively from his trust account and prosecutors agreed to make part of the NPA.
This is Trump and his regime's playbook. It's the Heritage Foundation's 2025 Project playbook. They have never been for the common man or woman. It's as simple as that. And for the past 50 years or longer, our political system has played right into their hands. Therefore, all we can do now is resist! Resist! And keep doing it until we can't anymore.
Well, but I do like the assumption that their own personal homes will not be burnt to the ground before they can collect on the ass-kissing. That sound in the background? The sharpening of guillotines.
I know from listening to my daughter’s Zoomer friends in Queens and Bushwick that “eat the rich” and “bring back the guillotine” are common refrains when discussing the income inequality. They are all aging out of their parent’s healthcare insurance coverage and working sometimes for companies with no health insurance yet making too much to qualify for Medicaid (for singles about $21k I think). My daughter has health insurance through the company she is working for, a must given that she is a cancer survivor and spent two years going through chemotherapy, then a bone marrow transplant and then almost a year as her immune system came in. She works in NYC and shares an apartment with two other girls in Ridgewood Queens at $3,900 a month. But many of her friends have no health insurance. Why do the rich and powerful not understand why Zohran Mamdani is popular with the younger generation? When did they last take a NYC bus or subway? Tech giants who grew up in Scarsdale NY or Pretoria South Africa probably can’t relate to regular people.
I sent this to my Oregon Senator and EVERYONE with a 401K Pension or any Retirement needs to understand how TRUMP is Changing the 401K investment RULES that safeguard your money from unsafe Investments like CRYPTO that TRUMP wants YOUR MONEY FOR !!!!! AND TRUMP wants YOU NOT to be able to HOLD your 401K Manager Liable either !!!!!!!!
Senator Wyden how can TRUMP claim Emergency Powers are needed for Tariffs when He is trying to RIG the Financial Investment system to Favor CRYPTO and Himself and his Global Gangster Network of Crypto Thieves ????
Dear Senator Wyden , please call back SEC Paul Atkins and ask him why he let Trump team up with Global Gangsters to run his Crypto network that wants 401K Pensions ????
So Trump in January right after swearing in puts his Hand Picked SEC members in Place that will do his Changing of ERISA Fiduciary Rules on investing in Crypto and Private Equity, Real Estate and Infrastructure.
What is up for Debate is Trump wants 401K Pension Managers to face NO Legal Liability if they Invest in a Shady Crypto deal, while TRUMP is teaming up with Justin Sun who now in the last 24 hours since this reporting it Seems Trump is trying to separate himself from this Investor in his Stable Coin , this is a Major move that is more reason to QUESTION Trump’s MOVES in wanting to Control the 401K Pension Funds with his Executive Order allowing 401K Crypto Investments !!!!!!
What is DANGEROUS with this is Trump is trying to Change the Legal Liability for 401K Pension Fund Managers who would get involved with His Stable Coin by Investing in them to then use to invest in crypto like Bitcoin . When you see the shady moves inside Trumps Stable Coin platform in this reporting it SCREAMS that the US Senate better get off their Butts and get to regulating TRUMP under the Emoluments Clauses!!!!!
We the People still have a Public Comment Time to SCREAM about TRUMP’s Executive Order Changing the Liability RULES over Our 401K Pension Investments and we BETTER Speak out to our US Senators as well before its TO LATE !!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the Highlights of TRUMPS 401K Executive Order taking away Liability for your 401K pension LOSSES !!!!
Recent actions by the Trump administration indicate a move to change guidance for fiduciaries under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), primarily by encouraging more investment in alternative assets.
Key changes under consideration
1. Expanding access to alternative investments
Executive Order (August 2025): The Trump administration issued an executive order titled "Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors". It directs the Department of Labor (DOL) to re-evaluate its fiduciary guidance concerning defined contribution plans, such as 401(k)s, and their inclusion of alternative assets, including:
Private equity
Cryptocurrency through actively managed funds
Real estate
Infrastructure
Mitigating litigation risk: The order also calls for the DOL to explore creating fiduciary "safe harbors" to reduce the risk of litigation for plan fiduciaries who offer these investments.
AND SEE HOW TRUMP’s SEC rule MAKER has already Swore to the SENATE he will Make it Easy as apple pie to Lose 401K Pension Money in CRYPTO for TRUMP and his Global Gangster Crypto Thieves ,
Senator Wyden please make sure We the People get our PUBLIC COMMENT TIME to SCREAM about TRUMP Taking away OUR Control over OUR 401K Investments !!!!!!!!!!
I was vey concerned about Trump signing yet another EO to allow these nefarious investments into our 401Ks and contacted my financial planner. I was emphatic that I never want to invest if any of these and he assured me that he would never do that without contacting me first, and wouldn’t recommend them anyway as I am in low risk funds. I hope I can believe him as I was about to put everything in a money market and he talked me out of that because they of course get very little return. But I don’t trust what Trump is doing at all. There’s a reason why they were never allowed before.
Get ready to make your voice heard when we get to when the Trump Crypto Executive Order gets to this point , he is so just wanting to make Billions off the 401K in flow into both his stable coin and its buying into Bitcoin or other crypto , This is totally a Pump and dump on a scale never seen before because of the trillions in the Pension funds !!!!!
He and his buddies have been chomping at the bit to get to this money. They’re going to rob people blind and some won’t know or understand what happened.
This is probably the best article I have ever read. Compared to other writers wirh the Midas touch, David Pakman and Brian Cohen. Those are the three YouTubers I listen to the most. Mr. Cohen I love your use of metaphors. This article starts out with the use of foie gras. A dish that can only be obtained by the disgusting abuse of another living being. This describes these billionaires so perfectly. You really hit the nail on the head.
We're in a crisis and it's getting worse by the day. I don't know if I'm going to live through this nightmare. I lived through the Korean War, Vietnam and the disaster in Afghanistan and more. The GANGSTER IN CHIEF is literally destroying the world and there are absolutely no guardrails to protect the people in these United States! Thank you for telling the truth.
As we come to expect, an excellent article, Michael, that makes me sick to my stomach. They are demonstrating in Washington D.C. as I write this. We have to take to the streets, peacefully.
On November 5, Americans chose:
Lies over truth,
Ignorance over knowledge,
Chaos over order,
Malice over good will,
Division over unity,
Cowardice over courage,
Sleaze over character,
The criminal over the law,
And billionaires over ordinary people.
That's it. How did we get here?
Proud to be a liberal woman, more than ever!
Proud to wear these kinds of shirts in front of Republicans and MAGAs everywhere I go 👇

Now you know!
The musketeers are just the symptom of the problem. I cannot stand all 3 but I blame US voters
"I blame US voters"
Then you've missed the point entirely!
"The Problem" is America now being in the grip of a Neo-Fascist Dictator - Trump!
Irrespective of what the causes were and exactly what led up to it, THIS is the problem NOW - because if you don't find a way to solve this particular problem, then I'm afraid America as you know it will be gone for the rest of your lifetime!

Billionaires should not exist. We must resist the oligarchs. My partner was fired from her DEI civil service career so they could get a tax cut: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/dei-public-servant-fired

DEI to me is Didn't Earn It!!! NONE of the FELON's GOONS earned ANY of their positions!!! Get rid of them all!

Is zuck on the Epstein list? How many billionaires are on this list?
I want to know who Co-conspirator #1 and #2 that were part of Epstein's NPA. He paid them 100k and 250k respectively from his trust account and prosecutors agreed to make part of the NPA.
I doubt that.. I think he would’ve been too young.

Will that be to slice 'The People's Cake?'
Think French revolution.
They think if they build the walls high enough and the bomb shelters deep enough and have a big enough security team they will be safe.
That's where we could keep them- suits me.

Only their servants will know
How to get the Heinrich maneuver and they may choose to forget.
And watch from the green baize door 😈
Maggots are TacoTits prized "I like the uneducated" Fauxwashed morons.......
They think the Heimlich maneuver is a way to seduce a 13 year old......
Make sure there are gallons of Orange Koolaid on standbuy.
Yup you just CANT FIX STUPID!!
Touché 💋
Boycott these billionairs! We can stop this quit giving them your money!!!
Higher they are, the harder they will fall.
Nice sentiment. Not reality.
Loyalty by the rich, devotion by the MAGAts, poor and middle class. May the king’s reign be short and sour.
I was blown away by the caliber and power of this piece. Well done.
