KNOW YOUR ENEMIES: Tom Emmer -- He whipped Trump's fuck-the-poor bill through the house, then poses and boasts, not saying downside truth about that evil Trumpian - Republican abomination --
Even Elon noticed that bill as bad stuff! Screen capture from the email:
Posing per the embedded image, not saying boo about cuts to rural Medicaid and food stamps, about rural hospital jeopardy, about putting thousands more of ICE goons onto the nation's streets and lands to hunt people while masked and in unmarked vans, or about doing trillion-dollar cuts to low-income Americans while STILL RUNNING A NET DEFICIT B00ST of trillions of dollars of debt load on the young -- so that he and his wealthy donors could thereby avoid facing fair taxation.
Elon has said he disliked the deficit incremental pumping and old industries subsidy (Koch et al.) but Elon also avoided casting shame onto the bill's disrespect for poor rural and urban Americans - as if that part was alright with Elon's billion dollar aims and needs.
What a bunch of dishonorable turds. Emmer included as integral to the Trump - JD - Stephen Miller immoral hatefest against the most vulnerable of the People, by the Republicans, for no valid reason but possibly their narcissistic enjoyment of exercise of power in ways recognized by them as hurtful to others.
Washington, D.C. - Today, the House of Representatives considered and passed Congressman and Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s (MN-06) flagship legislation, the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act.
In a vote of 216 - 192, the House of Representatives passed Emmer’s bill that would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a surveillance-style central bank digital currency (CBDC) that could give the federal government the ability to monitor and control individual Americans’ spending habits.
“For more than two years, we have worked to educate, grow support, and pass this important legislation, which prevents unelected bureaucrats from issuing a financial surveillance tool to fundamentally undermine our American values. My legislation ensures that the United States' digital currency policy remains in the hands of the American people so that any development of digital money reflects our values of privacy, individual sovereignty, and free market competitiveness. This is what the future global digital economy needs. We are proud to have led this effort and thank my colleagues for their support,” Congressman Emmer said.

There's a slide and glide to things, since an act could have allowed a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) with an absolute bar upon using it for any surveillance purposes. That would not throw out the baby with the bathwater. A CBDC would allow unbanked persons to trade an online central bank account when regular banking system players avoid allowing such a person a true bank account.
Wealthy ones most often have several accounts, some in offshore tax havens, or in South Dakota. Kristi Noem's state. Only poor people end up unbanked, so a CBDC would help THEM. As long as surveillance is barred, why not give them aid. They get and have so little. See: here.
Some governments view issuing a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, as providing a substitute for private cryptocurrencies, while enthusiasts of the latter commonly tout them as alternatives to government-controlled money.
But the average global consumer doesn’t see the two forms of digital currency as opposites when it comes to their effects on the broader economy. People who said they thought private cryptocurrency would decrease financial stability also oppose their government issuing a CBDC, and vice versa, highlighting how views of the two are intertwined.
Spotlighting this relationship can help launch a public-private sector dialogue about how to formulate regulations that position private crypto and
Well, possibly due to personal emotion or perhaps a Republican paranoia of a surveillance state, or otherwise, Emmer pushed a slammed door against the Fed issuing a CBDC - where you can decide, sensible, or not? Libertarian or authoritarian? Permissive or over-restrictive.
Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota will accept crypto donations for his campaign.
The chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and member of the Congressional Blockchain Caucus opened his first cryptocurrency town hall on Thursday with the announcement, telling CoinDesk that BitPay will process all donations.
The town hall, announced last week, was held in conjunction with the Chamber of Digital Commerce PAC to celebrate innovators in the crypt industry and to encourage engaged voters to participate in political discourse.
Leave it there. Emmer is not being judged here over Crypto, that part of the post is informational and not judgmental. On flogging the tainted Trump bill, that is judged, and the headline says "enemies" so there is no doubt of where Crabgrass stands on that monstrosity and Emmer's role in kissing Trump's whatever, and flogging the bill through the House's exceptionally narrow Republican majority. He pushed, it passed. Cast shame on him over how it went.
Well, not leaving it there. Getting down more in the weeds against the individual representing the Congressional District in which I live, our Mr. Emmer kissing Trump's ass and seeming proud of it, nose up in the air in that emailed image, here is the truth of the degree of abandonment of conscience that supporting that bill represents: a DEW item with an embedded Bernie YouTube truth segment, and WallStreetOnParade. Kissing Koch too; and being unpopular in major polls for the beating given the People by the fat cat politicians such as Rep. Emmer
Bernie - YouTube: Watch This or be ashamed forever for neglecting it.
And last, Mr. Emmer's pride in passage aside, polls show voters know the bill is toxic - per these polling results DWT reported:
Bernie's video is the most powerful counter Crabgrass can offer to Mr. Emmer's pride in having whipped this crapball over the finish line while likely knowing in his heart the damage to the nation Trump and others had him doing.
So, Emmer -- Bless him. He really, really pissed me off, the arrogance, the chutzpah of that email newsletter - astounding! Unsettling! Fellow travelling! Compromised! Knowing right from wrong and electing wrong! Trump got him and now-on seems to own him.
