Don't forget funding things like CPB, too.
So glad we can enrich the weird end-times freak Peter Thiel. The fan of Curtis Yarvin and The Sovereign Individual.
One step at a time. Maybe we stop using tax dollars to cause child starvation before we ease into preventing child starvation.
Good news, we can do both!
... But we won't
Free money for billionaires to make themselves more money. The GOP really is just a group of pedophiles.
The dems love billionaires as well.
We really need to get over our obsession with billionaires and stop letting them have so much influence.
100% agreed. Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and the DNC leadership are corporate and AIPAC whores.
Only the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and a couple of independents are actually on the side of the American public.

Well, when the electorate only gets our news from the media and aren't capable of researching candidates on our own, how else do you get elected?
It’s capitalists in general, not just billionaires.

Evil never dies, goes bankrupt, or loses control.
Ah yes the pro quo
I've got a lovely quid to sell you...
Cronyism. They always say "There's no money for that" when it comes to helping people who need it, but as soon as it comes to helping their rich friends or building monstrosities of vanity, suddenly they find the money for it.
At this point, ordinary income-earners in america should just stop paying taxes, because they'll never see that money come back to help them in anyway. It's all getting funneled directly to the rich, who also happen to be receiving enormous tax cuts.
It's stealing from the poor to give to the rich...
Just call it what it is — capitalism.
Some capitalists might argue on ideological grounds that government intervention is not a truly free market (although none would turn down government funds if offered, because they've sold their souls to the infinite pursuit of greed).
In reality though, most modern capitalism is crony capitalism. So the distinction loses meaning.
Cronyism implies someone with their hands on the levers of power pulling them to help their friends/accomplices, which this certainly is an example of.
tRump hands out favors to anyone who bows to him. It's cronyism.

Don't worry, we will fork over 10x that in 20 years when we have to clean up all of the obsolete and abandoned data centers. There is no way any company is going to do that themselves.
I thought he made that kind of money as spare change on the lecture circuit when he tells people he knows about the anti-christ.
Or when he tells them public education is a waste of time, and they should just “do what they’re good at” as if they inherently know what that is.
Fallout looking more and more realistic by the day…
Peter Thiel plans to kill us all and emerge from the ashes.
FUCK PETER THEIL. His Cocksucking bitch ass will be the end of us
The cock sucking part doesn’t seem relevant. Plenty of straight monsters out here.
Its not relevant in the homophobic way OP meant, but it kind of is relevant that he has aligned himself with some of the same people who would destroy him if they had the opportunity.

Hmmm, more corruption and destruction of the working class.
Billionaires should not exist. They serve ZERO purpose and only work to hurt us.
This guy watched the Fallout show didn't he?
Welcome back to the political spoils system
Fuck Peter Thiel in the ear. He and Stephe Miller are such vile pieces of shit.
Kill em all
Trump’s prying the bribe out of his hand 😝
