Cheeto Shits On Americans For Billionaires

You may have seen the AI generated video that King Cheeto pushed out…has him wearing a crown in which he is seen flying a jet and dumping shit on people in Times Square The message is clear, Cheeto doesn’t care about Americans or the country He only cares about himself and his billionaire buddies Anybody loyal to him gets in on the scam The rest of us, well, we can eat shit

Any celebrity complicit with Cheeto like Stallone, Sweeny, and Wahlberg need to be shown in the limelight as Nazis and traitors to the country

Democratic politicians like Fetterman need to be primaried

Companies like Facebook, Amazon, Twitter(X), Nestle, Target, T-Mobile(switch phone carrier), TikTok, The Atlantic(full page ad for Theil’s Palantir), Airbnb, Tesla, and any others complicit with this Nazi regime need to be fiercely boycotted

Farmers and ranchers in rural America are finally getting the message Cheeto never cared for our welfare That’s why he gave $1T tax cut(meanwhile the American debt just passed $38T) to his billionaire buddies and now sells the country out to Argentina Get the picture Cheeto shitting on Americans Traitor

It's so incredibly frustrating to hear people with platforms such as this one bemoan the METEORIC SUPERSTARDOM of Zohran Mamdani because he challenges the Corporatist DNC. Just STOP IT. There is nothing to fear from a candidate who actually speaks to the needs of his constituents and promises to deliver on them, instead of becoming the lapdog of AIPAC or any of the same broligarchs who have purchased the GOP to feed the insatiable psychopathy of the billionaire class. Free your mind. Mamdani is the future. De-fossilize your thinking.

Momdani is a socialist. That is very much the failed past. He is also a dilettante anti-zionist...which has no place in the future. The Left is an industrial age fossil. It's time to create a new alternative.

Whoa. You don't even spell his name correctly. A and O aren't near each other on the keyboard.

And what in tarnation is a "dilettante anti-zionist"? (does NYC actually determine foreign policy? Gosh.)

I'm sorry, but you guyz are too old and too out of touch.

When the protest groups reach the 12 million mark, what does the government look like? How do we know that they are buckleing?

The winning message is to run on fixing American capitalism. Five vulture capitalist corporations own all the manufacturers. Without real competition, they crush labor and extort the consumers. That's not real capitalism. It's Corporate Feudalism. Even Peter Thiel calls it that. Wages are a matter of power, not supply and demand, and the Chamber Of Commerce captured Supreme Court has rigged the system. Socialism is gaining credibility because the fake capitalism in America is discrediting real capitalism.

Another way of framing this is that the consolidating power the corporatocracy has stolen the American dream from the working class. The only way to balance the power is to break up the cartels and monopolies and restore labor and union protections. To do this we will have to use Article III, Section 2 power to limit the court from amending the Constitution with rights for money, corporations and immunity for presidents. (See Federalist 69, Prargraph 4.) The coup is led by Roberts, not Trump. Trump's job is to keep your attention away from the actual coup going on in the court with Roberts rewriting the Constitution.

acrecampaign.org is a good starting point...taking on billionaires by boycotting them and their businesses at a grassroots level such as onepa.org

The No Kings organizers and the protestors are not just Dems. They are independants and disaffected GOP and non voters - It would be good to have a space where people could register to vote.

I don't know if it was national or a local insert, but Canada ran a commercial during the evening news on ABC in the Detroit area. It was mainly a speech by Ronald Reagan denouncing the idea of tariffs and explaining how they kill jobs and crash the economy. A great move, and I hope it was national.

We had that last night No kings had a call to action on You tube. They provided a link to put in my zip code and I already called my senator today. I’ll tell them about the tractors in the towns. I love that idea!

This is sounding like typical Democratic party bed wetting to me. And btw, the No Kings Rallies are not Democratic, but democratic.
