“We calculated that for VP Harris’s 28 staff listed in the Senate report, the 2021 salaries added up to $2,334,223,” Andrzejewski wrote. But the vice president’s office “got $5 million for 23 full time staff in 2021 and requested over $6 million for 27 full time staff in 2022.”

They sure have a talent for making money disappear.

on the topic of not holding up their end of the bargain, it's well known that donald trump doesn't pay his bills
he has a history of being sued by his own lawyers

Politics is a circus so its suppose to "look like that" just for the sheer optics of holding up the illusion.

When you see Biden or Trump at the podium and you are laughing at the sheer ideocracy of what they are saying just imagine the $100 trillion behemoth military pointing every military asset right at your face.

The US military runs the world and hands the script to sitting US Presidents. How could that not be more clear since JFK had his head blown off on live television?

Whole world bitching about how America used it's military to subvert and topple dozens of nations and some without even the slightest bit of "news coverage" and yet people here in the states and abroad think "Trump or Biden" is truly "calling the shots".

Americans say they are against foreign intervention but in order for us to maintain full spectrum dominance we have to be. Think we blew up the Middle East, sowed discord, and built massive military bases their "for fun".

Politics is an illusion/circus for the ignorant to find meaning in the mundane. None of the entities who "run the world" actually make themselves "visible" to the world. They install puppets there for us to laugh at :rofl:

edit: Jokes on all the citizens of the world who passively allow the same system to proliferate and have a negative impact on your life/consciousness. Nothing any politician has done or will ever do will play a significant role in my life.

When you completely detach yourself from the circus. Walk away from society for a couple years. Tread through all the shitty sheaths you created in your mind. You'll come around to the same spot you were and realize. Wow none of these idiots even had a remote effect on my life. Why was I such a fool to even buy into the garbage in the first place? This is what most are unwilling to do. Admit you've been fooled into believeing politicians can change your condition or the human condition. Can't be done.

Obama's "Hope and Change" you can "believe in" should be the icing on the cake. Nothing changed but everyone hoped for it and believed in it....but no one acted. :rofl: :rofl:

Would you pay a contractor that turned out so bad, you had to hire other contractors to fix their mistakes, It's not uncommon to not pay people who would end up costing for a job to be done a twice in order to be satisfactory.
'Tough On Crime' is out, what is poppy now is releasing murderers and rapists on on the false basis that they are somehow really innocent, but the real basis is because they are brown.



You really have no fucking clue about the world do you?

As a commoner I don't think I really had the option of not paying contractors ive hired for renovations and landscaping if I don't like the work they've done.

That aside do you really think it's more likely that hundreds of businesses doing work for trump and complaining about not getting paid for the work they did - including lawfirms that represented him in many of these same cases - are the ones at fault for shoddy work?

Are they adding up salaries without overhead? Training, benefits, security, etc, as a rule of thumb for public sectors employees it can double the salary so that's pretty close

Oh wow a Bill Cooper vid. Brings me back 20 years :rofl: :rofl:

You don't have to know the "world" to know that people who put energy in politics live a life of total ego. Any rational person will tell you that if you give power to things you created in your own mind that you are basically retarded. Just because human beings have created politics doesn't mean it will necessarily apply to your life nor should you allow it too. You make it so in your mind. Why do you think it's so annoying for someone like me who doesn't have political fibers to be pulled upon can't understand why my own family and friends divest energy into people who if they were not explicitly told through media were "dictating things in their life" would never bring up a single politicians name likely ever.

I built a business and sold it before the age of 25 and have lived off the money I made which I subsequently invested and the ROI has been great. So for over 10 years I've traveled around the world through the Vivekananda Vedanta Society experiencing different cultures, philosophies, clergy/politicians etc

I was able to build a business/sell it invest the money and continue to live off that money to this day and it wasn't "millions of dollars".

Politicians played ZERO role in my success because I'm from America where you can do anything.

"Oh wow if Kamala gets in we're screwed/saved!"----No were not were America not Kamala Harris "Oh wow if Trump gets in we're screwed/saved"----No were not we're America not Donald Trump

edit: People support politicians as if they are the "solution" when they are much more closely related to being the problem itself.

Not saying that's what you do but if I was able to make it in America specifically Chicago where politics is shoveled down your throat at birth and then I was able to remove politics from my heart and mind while focusing on my results not some politicians claim to some result.

So yea politics is a joke to me and it would be considered a carefully crafted joke to Bill Cooper.
