    As a german I am sorry for Palantir, Peter Thiel (and by extension Elon Musk), Adolf and Donald Trump. We are just not exporting the best we’ve got and I am terribly sorry for that. We will try and change that in the near future.

    The Donvict’s cabinet all have ties to shady contractors and taking the tax payers to the cleaners?? Ya don’t say!! Alex Karp is the CEO of Palantir. His hair makes the “Aliens” meme guy look that much more amazing and he says way dumber shit. You’d totally trust that guy with tax payer money right??

    edit: Side note, a Palantir executive was 1 of 4 Techbros awarded rank of LT. FUCKING COL in the Army Reserves. Just because. No they didn’t earn that shit and it was just literally handed to them.

      I used to work for a small programming/consulting company that had somehow secured their own $12 million annual piece of federal pork. The money was ostensibly for “improving” manufacturing in our state so they couldn’t just pocket that money. Instead, one of our employees administered the fund from a rented closet-sized office elsewhere in our city and doled it out to other companies which in turn hired our company’s consultants at absurd hourly rates (for example I was paid about $40 an hour but was billed out at over $300 an hour) to do shitty work on useless projects.

      This was only one of our scams. We also hired retired colonels from the various services and paid them $200K a year to not show up very often - we had an entire wing of usually-empty offices for these people while those of us actually doing some work here and there were packed like dogs into cubicle kennels. These colonels helped us secure lucrative defense contracts.

      The funniest part of this job was listening to my bosses raving about how “welfare queens” were destroying the country.

    This guy, and people like him, should be put out of our misery. If he’s not living in fear then he’ll continue making your life worse.

    He’s a parasite, and parasites are detrimental to the health of the majority and they should be dealt with accordingly.

    These jackals are always whining about Democratic insider trading, and here they are doing it themselves, and hiding it in their child’s account. At least corrupt Dems like Pelosi and Schumer own it themselves.

    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.

    I am not a lawyer, but I am pretty sure that if you, as a child, have your parent fraudulently open an account in your name (like so they can avoid taxes or scrutiny or whatever), you can sue your parent for every single dollar they put in that account and then later took out of it. And because minors are not allowed to file lawsuits, the statute of limitations does not even start ticking until the child turns 18. Maybe we should all make sure that children like Steven Millers’ are aware of these facts.

    Pointing at Stephen Miller and exclaiming “Conflict of interest!” is like arriving late to a party and then farting quietly in a corner.

    The guy who funded frump in 2016 and 2024, who hand picked and funded Vance for VP, and controls all the data and knowledge within the data sets of every single law enforcement, investigation, defense, social service, finance, tax, and security agency in the US, and owns several members of congress, also has stock in palantir because he is palantir.

    Hi Petey!

    Remember how the story ended - those who thought they could rule by knowing all and controlling all, through fear and force, were destroyed - by those with will and wisdom.

    There was some guy on the Toronto ROM board who was also invested in the ICE transportation stuff. He was roasted back by the ROM the next day and off the board.

    That cunt doesn’t get nearly enough negative attention. He’s the real ‘brains’ of the operation.
