This was somewhat epiphanic for me.

Think of US politics as a business moving large amounts of money around in a capitalist society then things start making sense.

He did last time. Jan 6th wasn’t for practice.

Project 2025 is the game plan but keep in mind not everything is planned.

Republicans have full control and the Great American Fire Sale is ongoing. They just got started.

QANON started as a joke on the Internet. Yes, the sarcasm tag is needed even when it’s obvious to some.

Because they are building hidden bathrooms that can fit a copy machine and boxes of stolen nuclear sub secrets.

She’s positioning to be the sane good MAGA President alternative to Trump when the coup picks up.

Remember, it doesn’t have to make sense. It just has to make sense to 77 million Republicans who thought a 2nd Trump term was a good idea.

Running low on weapons is not a good time to also run low on rare earth metals needed to make those weapons.

Until people figure out taking days off work is the protest.

The general strike is the protest. That is what Americans need to figure out because the only downside to a strike is not enough people striking.

People drive by people holding signs. When they get to the fast food drive through and find out it’s closed then people start asking questions.

What’s Trump’s weekly golf outings up to this time around?

As the shutdown enters its third week, the Office and Management and Budget said Tuesday it’s preparing to “batten down the hatches” with more reductions in force to come. The president calls budget chief Russ Vought the “grim reaper,”

Vought, a chief architect of the conservative Project 2025 policy book, is reshaping the size and scope of federal government in ways similar to those envisioned in the blueprint.

Oh look, another fall guy. What do we boycott now instead of Tesla EVs? /s

If I remember correctly it’s an important test because it was neglected for decades. Car makers had no idea how dangerous that type of accident was.

Like EVs had safety improvements because China spent so much effort on protecting the battery from side impacts that it carried over to occupant safety.

Go look up how long it took Trump to call Xi after China hit the off button for rare earth metals.

At the same time, cheap electricity enables China to manufacture even more solar panels

Neat concept.

President Donald Trump’s public demand that the Justice Department move “now” to charge his political enemies

“It looks to me like [James] is very guilty of something, but I really don’t know,” Trump said

It’s not about charges. It’s about finding something that will stick and if they don’t they still get to make her life hell.

You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.

“No one could have predicted this.”

It already happened years ago. This isn’t the first time protesters were kidnapped and stuffed in rental vans while Trump is President.

Trump and Republicans create problems so they can say only Republicans can fix it.

Nothing new.

The Trump administration is planning to deploy millions of dollars in tariff revenue to tide over a critical nutrition program for low-income moms and babies during the ongoing government shutdown.

And cops still do a lot of evil on their own.

Cops know that. They also know people who live there know it to.

ICE has no obligation to protect Chicago cops.

No shit.

The Republicans in charge don’t care about the shutdown. Or the previous ones. It does not affect them and they have zero problems using propaganda with or without a shutdown. Just like all the previous times.

They will spin it just like they have done for decades.
