The current regime has made us all part of the profit making machine where everyone is thus an unwilling whore , where racism is foundationally a system that destroys everyone's moral compass, especially when a price tag is placed on all the systems of checks and balance - wondering how much the supreme court was paid to help him gain this much power making their jobs and republican's jobs obsolete

It furthermore means without any morals left as a human an personal check even human can sold for a price as they then have just become things like in the slave time.

Spot on, of course. I can only hope they fuck up their plans so spectacularly that the spell breaks. I hear calls for a general strike. Idk what that entails, but could it work speedily?

Excellent work, Waj. Now I’ll watch you and Danielle to stay even more informed. Or should I say horrified?

You too can write to Sen Thune (R-Majority Leader) and you Congressional Delegation. Sent today to mine: "This is a communication I sent to Sen. Thune expressing my concern with this Administration and a very real fear that the blatant grift portends a cancellation of future elections.

" With the President (capitalized with no respect) and his family members blatantly accepting millions and billions of dollars publicly, I assume he would not be doing it if there were any threat of Republicans losing in the elections of 2026. I firmly believe that he intends to declare a national emergency and cancel the elections scheduled for Nov 2026. What are the Republicans in Congress planning to do when he cancels elections in 2026 and probably 2028? I am in no way a hysterical 76yr old, retired Master's prepare Registered Nurse relying on Medicare, Social Security and a small pension. It looks like the Republicans are going to be successful in funding a tax cut primarily benefiting the wealthy, by cutting Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security. That being done will probably lose seats in both the House and Senate in 2026. But that won't happen WHEN Trump cancels the elections, will it? What are the Republicans in Congress going to do when that occurs? Please think about this and decide what the price of wealth, power, and, yes, Democracy, for the Republicans."

And The International Worst Prisons of the World are being built as an international system included in this Trump Mid-Eastern tour. Make deals, Make $ and Make Prisons for deporting his enemies, Democrats, the WOKE, sexually identified as other than white male with white female and preferably Christian. University/College Presidents, Law Firms, Journalists, etc. The list is growing long. Trump and Heir Miller want more opportunities to disappear people.

I can't say that I'm surprised he would turn on Israel if someone else outbid them. He has no sense of loyalty, other than whoever bribed him most recently. No sympathy for anyone involved.

It's all about the chips. No, not the potato ones Linda McMahon puts her A1 sauce on. 😈😁🤦🏼‍♀️

AI chips - the very expensive and valuable artificial intelligence chips that the big players are wanting access to.

There’s been so much talk about racism in the administration. The president’s (accompanied by an entourage including many cabinet members) first international trip is looking almost exclusively to visiting brown people. How should we be processing this? You’ve started to answer that here! This theme should continue to be repeated.

Use this spreadsheet to call/email/write any of our representatives as often as possible. Not just your own state reps, reach out to those in other states. Be as loud as you can and share this. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

The only thing that sometimes makes this nightmare bareable is humor. Thanks for your keen insights laced with droll humor. If we read this current USA history as satire fiction, it would seem over the top. That this is our real life is mind bending.

Fox news says that 1. The jet is a gift to the Defense Department not trump and 2. That the reason trump has to accept it is because Boeing couldn't supply one fast enough and 3. Obama originally ordered it but it never got finished because Democrats

"Then again, this Administration doesn’t care about exposing our military secrets to foreign countries, which is why Pete Hegseth and other high-level cabinet leaders keep using Signal, an unsecured social media app that the Pentagon has warned can be accessed by our enemies."

We probably don't have anything left to give away after all this. God help us all. There must be a counter to this Pentagon allegation of criminal negligence, no? Eh? There has to be in order for America to save face, I would think...either that, or Waj is making it up. Citation to authority, please?
