    This is one thing I never understood… how does he keep getting away with it? Repeatedly screwing people over and over and over and over again and somehow no one doing shit about it?

    He doesn’t just screw over workers, he does it for his business partners, too. Wealthy anf powerful people… people who can hire hitmen and also pay to make the evidence disappear. If they can kill Epstein why wouldn’t they have gotten rid of him in the 80s and 90s when he didn’t have as much power as he does now?

      The Russian agents keeping tabs on their useful idiot must have protected him.

      What if in our world of infinite universal timeline probabilities, this is the timeline where Trump always gets what he wants?

    Its the old bait and switch. Did you know that Federal Deposit Insurance can be paid out in a period of decades? They can make you ‘‘whole’’ over a period of time that can stretch over years. Technically you will not lose any money but practically you can die before you get your money.

    sadly I would not put it past a lot of those psychopaths to do it for free.

      No doubt that some of them are doing it for the love of the game. 🫤

        Those are probably the ones ending up in viral clips either threatening to kill someone or actually doing it (or in one case failing because they didn’t know their safety was on).

        Maybe some of them just show up in masks with their mallninjashit, and they’re not on the payroll and no one asks if they did the two week training.

        I was recently thinking, this recruitment drive must be heaven for the common proud boys brownshirt.

        Who of them wouldn’t sign up, they get to harm immigrants, they get cover from the very top if they catch public attention, they get gear, and they might even get paid for it.

      They’ll just take a page out of Imperial Japan’s warbook and resort to living off the land post-invasion.

      • betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        The sooner they start living off the land, the better. And by that, I mean “swimming”. Lash a bunch of them together to form an ICEberg.

      Assuming we manage to get a much more reasonable government in place in the coming years, hopefully they’ll be the ones paying for what they’re doing.

    An authoritarian typically keeps the military and police well-fed, or alternatively allows them to rob the plebs as they see fit. Otherwise bad things may happen to the emperor.

    Unfortunately, Trump is likely to kick the bucket before he sees any blowback of that.

      yea he did trash all those science fundings for a reason and part of it is to pay his own policing force aka ICE

      source
      • Raiderkev@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨minute⁩ ago

        Also because science is woke and/ or gay. I believe it says so in the executive order.

      ICE had a signup bonus (dunno how much, $4000, I think?), and nobody received it yet.

      The guy who is ‘famous for not paying’ is Trump, who has a history of being in debt/not paying his debts off.

        Specifically not paying contractors. He would regularly hire contractors for jobs at Trump buildings/companies where it was x% up front and x% on completion. Then when they came for the completion percent he would just not pay and make them take him to court. Sometimes he paid, but other times they just couldn’t afford to litigate as long as he could so they’d get stiffed.

        Afaik the bonus promised is 50k, which is a bit more significant. Leads to people joking that they’d like to join, get the bonus and then just not do the job.

    Is that from true lies?

    I’m sure it’s Arnold’s face

      It’s one of the most hilarious things to me, just a masked face with Arnold’s lips making Arnold groans. That scene was gold, fuck that whole movie was gold

    • Pudutr0n@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think it is. Can’t recall the exact scene though.

        When he uses a squad to break into Bill Paxton’s sleazy getaway spot where he tries to seduce Jamie Lee Curtis. It’s followed by this scene:

        The beginning at the fancy party that has snow outside?

        The opening scene

      • thermal_shock@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It’s where he attacked the fake car salesman when the salesman was trying to convince Jamie Lee Curtis to leave the country. They cut the trailer in half, salesman fell on Jamie and time flipped his shit, made this face.

      Boris and his wife, Doris.

    It’s even better because when they do get paid if they leave before their 5 years they have to pay back their bonuses INCLUDING tax.

    So they’re kinda paying for the privilege of hunting minorities. Really sick to think about.
