You're the one claiming there's an oligarchy. Name the groups or individuals you contend are part of it.

Fuck, I'm not even asking you to prove your claim, it's absolutely not asking too much to ask you to specify it.
You can figure it out. If your head head is buried so far in the sand you don't want to know, I'm not going to do the research for you, pal. You aren't paying me enough to school you.

You know, I have never been represented in the US government. Why are you such a special victim? I mean you are the biggest snowflake on here. Always crying about how bad you've got it, and blaming fellow working class Americans who are liberal for your woes. Not once have you admitted to the simple FACT that most of your woes have been created because the oligarchy has been given carte blanche in the US.
It's interesting that you mention "oligarchy." Bernie and AOC's new favorite word.

We have 261 Federal District Court Judges. None of them were elected. We now have a coterie of those Judges -- all appointed by Democrats or Deep State Rino Republicans - who are usurping powers and authorities they simply do not possess constitutionally to countermand the directives of the Executive branch.

Simple question, dear. Doesn't a small group of unelected Judges assuming the powers of the Executive Branch fit the dictionary definition of "oligarchy?"

I think it does.

= "I don't know."

Just stick with "I don't know" next time. It has the twofold benefit of being honest and of keeping the fact that you're full of shit concealed.

Let me put that another way: If you make a claim, it is your fucking responsibility to convince me of it.

Don't try to get me to do that work for you.

There are three branches of government, pal. Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. They're doing their Judicial duties. But I'm not here to claim none of them are on the take. Honey, there are oligarchs throughout the US government and state governments, but the majority of their influence comes from the dollars they pour into the coffers of politicians -- especially those who are elected. You know. Like the quarter of a billion Musk gave Trump.

Let me see, tax cuts for them being extended. Let's stsrt with that.

Undoing all the regulations they are allowed to get away with...
Presumably, not everyone receiving those benefits is in Trump's cabinet. So that doesn't wash. Which billionaires, specifically, are in Trump's cabinet, and how are they -- and nobody else -- materially benefiting from it?

I get the beef against Musk: "He bought Twitter, so now people who don't agree with us are allowed to voice their opinions there, WEHHHH!!!"

That's a stupid reason to hate a person, but I can at least see who leftist bigots would get there.

What makes the other figures in his cabinet come out to villains, though, specifically?

First: You know that for sure? Beyond Musk, which ones donated, specifically?

And, again, what -- materially -- are they getting out of it that no one else has?
So, you think his donor class gives him money for shits & giggles?

You're a bigger fool than I give you credit for.

I am finished with you. I give up, no hope for you.

So, in other words, yes, a small coterie of unelected Judges usurping authorities they do not posses constitutionally does, indeed, fit the dictionary definition of an "oligarchy."

Thanks for confirming, dear.

Interesting how you support this oligarchy over here, but not that oligarchy over there.

Support the one which obstructs the will of the people, hate with a passion the one that advances the will of the people. Yep, Situation Normal: All Fucked Up.

Doesn't matter really does it?

Reality is a bitch. And they all benefit materially by having the tax cuts extended.
That's not oligarchy.

You want to claim oligarchy? Coolest of fucking stories, bro. But you don't get to ask me to prove your point. YOU prove it.

I get $1,112 every month for a visual disability when median rent even in a tiny-ass has-been town on Route 66 is $1,500 plus, while hordes of hostile foreign-born invaders get, in some cases, fucking luxury accommodations, everything they need paid for, and walking-around money besides that.
...aren't you concerned that current administration could cut your benefits sharply?

Or entirely?

If so, how will you make ends meet @The Question ?

How will you survive since the current government is into cost cutting mode.

Seems a lot of Federal employees are losing their jobs these days.

So what's to stop them from cutting benefits?

You have a tell Jim….you post hahahahaha.Sometimes it is not even ironic.

I do not know if you are fooling yourself or just pretending to be fooling yourself in hopes that I will go into great depths to explain your mistakes.

You are not equipped to have a proper discussion.

You should have got off the drugs when I told you.

In 1983.

They don’t care Lotus, as long as the woke left are destroyed. They don’t know what left means, they just know they are programmed to despise it!

Eh, we met in 1983 Jim? I don’t recall I was on drugs. Did you say anything worth remembering?
