No… Tucker,
you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt.
You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good.
You can rot.
Donald Trump's Fed Chair nominee could not even say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
He is nothing more than a sock puppet.

When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.
"This is an important thing to think about."
🤷🏼
I believe it would be beneficial to American if we were to take away the lifetime healthcare and pensions for elected representatives and made them find healthcare and benefits just like their constituents
We have created lifetime of benefits for a job that was not meant to be a career
Term limits!

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.
This is fun
Wonder what the president will make worse today.
And get a haircut.
Mr. Karp is a dangerous clown. What an asshole, proof that money cannot buy class. His insecurity is off the charts.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
DOGE gambled with Americans’ personal data and livelihoods. DOGE gutted vital government agencies.
No oversight. No transparency. No consequences.
That ends now. Tell Congress: Investigate DOGE. 🔍 #InvestigateDOGE @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social

Donald Trump is the most hated man on Earth!
Retweet if you believe this to be true!
Of COURSE he's insider trading. He's a crook, he's ALWAYS been a crook, he's using the presidency to make billions.
He ran to stay out of jail, to make money and to feel powerful, because that's what a narcissist like him gets off on. It was never about helping people.

Few groups in American public life have suffered more material or reputational damage in the past year than federal civil servants. More than 400,000 employees have left the federal government. For many, they left a dream job, pushed out by people who knew less than they did. They worked under a government where the President declared them to be the deep state, government leaders promised to put them “in trauma” and the President’s supporters often exposed them to harassment campaigns. They were demeaned by bosses who opposed the mission of their organization.
Because I study government I am sort of stuck on Karp's characterization of bureaucrats as overpaid priests - the echo of “will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” may not be intended, but its there - at a time when they were purged from govt and he made several billion dollars.
8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.
The manifesto is incoherent about public service until you realize that Karp is presenting you with two types of public servants: civil servants fired under Trump, and the tech elites who venture into government.
The former deserve your scorn.
The latter merit your understanding and praise.

Karp once studied and opposed fascism. How did he become someone a Trump defender? Palantir's value is fused to MAGA.
In the Times, @michellegoldberg.bsky.social says: "the best explanation for Karp’s journey — as for most of his right-wing billionaire compatriots — is the vulgar materialist one.”
Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
The manifesto makes a straightforward case that government and Silicon Valley power must be fused in order to defend Western values - which are superior to others - with hard rather than soft power. For many, this sounds like techno-fascism.

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Don’t forget that Trump threatened to wipe out an entire civilization in Iran.
Congress has tools to rein in this president.
But nothing will happen until Republicans grow a spine and work with Democrats to stand up to him.
