Disagree, that's basically saying if you vote in your best interest you can't complain.
What the actual fuck
What the actual fuck is wrong with these idiots?
The headline is that Stephen Miller of the Trump administration, owns stock in Palantir. Miller is not Peter Thiel. Miller is the angry bald guy that is always dramatically screaming we should be more aggressive with deportation policy.
Because he, and 10 others in the administration, own stock in the company that also receives millions in federal contracts regarding immigration and deportation, one might suggest Miller has a vested interest in the policies he is always aggressively screaming about being necessary for America's safety.
Considering that even the conservative Cato institute has said the deportation policies outlined in the big beautiful bill, will ultimately cost tax payers trillions of dollars to fund, one might suggest that the policies Miller and others in the administration have put forth, are actually driven by greed rather than any ideology or belief that what they are doing is in America's best interest.
The blurb mentioning Thiel's company is to provide context to the reader about how much money his company has already made under this administration.
Given that Thiel and the entire administration do all seem to be in agreement that democracy should be dismantled in order for a ruling class of chosen elite to take it's place, one might begin to wonder, if that is really a good idea. It would seem then, that it is as newsworthy as anything else documenting more blatant corruption and scamming of America by the chosen elite who are leading this administration, and hoping to convince everyone what they're doing is in America's best interest.
The investment, held in one of Miller’s children’s brokerage accounts, raises conflict of interest red flags as the tech company continues to play a substantial role in the work of U.S. immigration officials.
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin called the group’s report “very silly”
... This is the same official spokesperson that downplayed concerns about Trump trying to shut down the office of Civil Rights and Liberties, and then like a month later defended DHS and the Pentagon hooking federal employees up to a lie detector test to find leaks
The watchdog group that obtained Miller’s filing identified 11 other administration officials who either currently hold or have owned stock in Palantir, though none with holdings as large as Miller.
Guess he has a vested interest in acting like a hateful psychopath, and gleefully breaking apart families. It's good for business.
TFW your government literally just hooked a brain dead pregnant woman up to life support against the wishes of her family, to force her to give birth, but somehow tries to paint political promises of baby baskets for newborns as dystopian nightmare fuel.
