From 9/11 to COVID to wildfires to hurricanes to immigration/crime problems to climate change to a Russian invasion, our oligarchs haven't met a crisis that they won't first cause, foment, and/or worsen and then exploit to further funnel all wealth and power to themselves and their water carriers in the top 0.1%.

Trump is a continual walking, breathing, and bellowing crisis and currently our oligarchs' greatest benefactor.

He also just arrested his first judge, and ICE can enter your house without a warrant. I'm just waiting for the first government enforcer to get shot, either trying to force their way into someone's house to look for Jews brown people, or someone deciding they'd rather risk a murder charge than an outsourced concentration camp.

And Musk is stepping back because the left is so mean to him. I swear, no one is as easily triggered as the broflakes ranting about the woke mind virus. The dude's ego is so fragile he had to hire people to boost his Path of Exile account. He then proceeded to die to the tutorial boss on a live stream, and logged off after chat started impersonating his ex asking him about the child support he owes.

DOGE, led by tech billionaire and Trump administration adviser Elon Musk, said that more than 500,000 agency credit cards were deactivated in that time period, out of roughly 4.6 million active cards and accounts used by the government.......

.....DOGE’s website says that it has saved about $165 billion, or $1,000 per taxpayer, since it was established through an executive order issued by President Donald Trump in January.

pathetic.

you're fired

I realize my name as a "citizen" has been connected with pre-meditated political murder since before I was born.

But now that it has gone open and public i'm going to have to say the social contract is destroyed.

i deserve to have it happen to me, which it inevitably will in course of time.

i'm shook to my core by the real time script flip. so abrupt and so blatant. this guy's capable of anything. he's a thug and he's "in charge"

Wait, are you actually shook, or are you being sarcastic? Trump has been doing what he said he'd be doing all along: wreck regulations and tax breaks for the rich, and fuck everyone else, same as he did last time. He's being an incredibly useful idiot for the oligarchy, handing them everything they ever wanted on a silver platter. It's robber barons on crack.

Trump is doing to sincere MAGA supporters what the Democratic party did to Sanders supporters.

Unfortunately, we are so divided against each other and so conditioned to be ruled by increasingly corruptly duplicitous misleaders that it doesn't seem to matter anymore that they know that we all know they are totally shitting us while they increasingly shit on us.

Today's only social contract is the blackmailers' ironclad promise to protect the blackmailed.

Looking in from the outside, the whole relationship between politics/oligarchs (same thing, really) and populace looks more and more like an abusive relationship.

And where are all the armchair warriors ranting about the 2nd amendment and the tree of liberty under Obama and Biden? Oh right, they voted for the fuckers and applied for jobs with the Schutzstaffel ICE.

Wait, are you actually shook, or are you being sarcastic?

no, sincerely. just sharing my feelings since we are a community right? all real folks, not ideologs or provocateurs. all communism ends in the work camps or the gulag even if it is in our own homes.

i think bessent is in charge. the geopolitical is cover for the banking change.

"it's all there" bessent to question about the fort knox livestream.

Bessent is an idiot.

goodness, political bread and circuses do addle the brain when one forgets that they're the visible show to the obvious but secret show. obvious how? that they always do the stupid and brutal thing while talking up the love. i've struggled to characterize the new trump-normal and it came to me: mafioso. sure, we kid ourselves with the legislatures and the votings but it's a jungle now and we're all just gangs.

Regarding above... About time.
