Here we are, Black Friday, officially Christmastime now. America is in a sour mood. Grocery prices are up, and so are energy prices. Donald Trump lies incessantly about both. The American people are onto him. They’re pessimistic about the future.

The distrust goes way beyond the economy. Over these last few weeks, ever since the government shutdown, it’s finally begun to sink in on people that Trump and his entire administration are a bunch of raging ideologues or incompetents or both, peddling a fantasy version of their strength that people no longer buy. There’s no longer any doubt about it: The MAGA crack-up has begun.

    I so very much want to see Bondi and Noem thrown into the slammer.

    I mean, Keystone Kash, Stephen Miller, RFK, jr, and Bannon, too, but this week I really want to see these two in prison for a nice long stretch.

    I realize if the Democrats run on throwing all these pieces of trash into prison they’ll be cast by the pearl-clutching “center” and “independents” as being just like the GOP, but for fuck’s sake, if they get power back and don’t go after these pieces of trash and throw the motherfucking book at them, we’ll just get even more of this the next time around.

    A message has to be sent.

    And what exactly makes you think America will instead go the other way, instead of going further down into authoritarian and fascism?

    Now that Trump is a lame duck and approaching the end of his usefulness, you will see his support shift away to the next turd coming down the pipe. The foreign run maga influencers and talking heads will slowly begin shilling whatever Putin wants for a post-Trump America

      Without Trump, though, they don’t have that uncanny charisma to be able to direct all the crazies in maga. They basically lose all their power.

    He calls it a crack up, seems more to me like just another week in the Trump administration.
    But I hope he is right.
