Well good thing the U.S. economy is rock solid at the moment, and we have excess money to burn.

Otherwise we might start seeing bipartisan anger at a president and administration who have spent $134 million dollars to force a state government to do what the federal government says, while undoing previous federal orders regarding civil rights bc they were an unjust burden to states and a waste of the American tax payer dollar.

    So DOGE’s cuts saved just over $150 million (apparently I can’t read), and we’ve already burned through most of those saving mobilizing the national guard to tear gas people foolish enough to claim Trump isn’t king? Fantastic. I am so tired of all this “winning.”

    Edit: I misread some stuff but the essence of the absurdity I am directing my anger at remains the same. Fuck fascism.

    Everything President Felon does will cost us a ton of money. Debt will skyrocket, savings will be a prehistoric memory, and he will spend every penny he can. He is the worst business man ever, he bankrupted casinos.

    Sorry, no we fucking won’t.

    Highest courts (SCROTUS) bought and paid for. Congress has abdicated all responsibilities/oversight. Legacy media cowed into subservience.

    Those who worry we’re on our way to “authoritarianism/facism” or “unitary executive”, I’ve news… We’re there Right Fucking Now.

        Lower courts, yes.

        SCROTUS, on some token issues just so they don’t appear too bootlicking.

        That will not last. They’ve already laid the ground work for going much farther.

          I don’t agree there.

          They’re for sure bought but giving up their own power means they can’t be bought again because why would anyone? Historically courts and government officials generally when relieved by bribery kill themselves or see themselves in court for bribery in a much more rigged court. Authoritarianism is pretty vicious to those involved especially if you’re higher up and can’t manage to stay in office.

            To achieve the “America they’ve longed to have” and fear they have lost by virtue of all the “liberal shit” that has happened in the last 50-60yrs. 🤷‍♂️

              You’re confusing the shit they’re bought to care about with the things they actually care about which are quite clearly dollars and cents not morals and ideologies.
