    Let’s not compare Billionaires with women fighting.

    This is billionaires fighting. Notice how pathetic they both are.

      Lol, Trump is only a billionaire because he has the US Treasury. Without that, he’s very likely broke.

        The Trump family has made a billion dollars every month he’s been in office

        https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2025-trump-family-presidency-wealth/

        https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/briefing/trump-family-business.html

        They are reaping money from the poor.

        Do not discount how much wealth they are gaining from being in power, regardless of the treasury. They are sweeping property acquisitions among all their other methods of making money.

        He wasn’t a billionaire before becoming president, but he certainly is now. The grifting has been blatant and enormous.

      Plus Epstein.

      Edit: what I mean by this is that while his hackers were doing their work, you don’t think they managed to get those files while having basically unlimited access?

        That would be insane from separation of power perspective (which admittedly doesn’t look great, but we’re not at that point yet).

        Because it’s so many victims, Epstein was federal, and this means it’s in the hands of the FBI, although they would probably have a dedicated team just for this.

        But the FBI only interfaces with the DOJ in that regard afaik, so the president should have no say in this. And another agency most definitely does not unless this interjects government processes of those agencies, which it does not.

        Because of all the shenanigans going on we can never be 100% sure but this has layers of separation from DOGE.

      Escalate in this case means engaging in the fight and adding fuel to the fire, not appealing to a higher authority.

        With plenty of money going to Trump’s personal gang of thugs:

        ICE’s current annual budget is around $10 billion. Under the version of the bill that passed the Senate, the agency would receive an infusion of more than $100 billion through 2029:
