If you worked 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at $28,000 an hour, starting the day Christ was born, you'd now be the 2nd richest person alive. Yes, Musk is that rich, and he can coerce (the nicest word I can use) nearly anyone opposing him. Dangerous

My fears laid out:

Once his cabinet is in place Trump will have no use for Congress. As he pursues more radical policies affecting their states, an increasing number of Republicans will find the courage to oppose him. Trump will then have no use for Congress and appeal to MAGA that the time has 1/n

I admit that at 71 I had not heard of Bad Bunny before, and I of course knew of Lee Greenwood. That being said, (unlike Trump) I understand and comprehend numbers pretty damned well, and Bad Bunny obviously has a much greater following and deserves to perform.

Not yet.

Agreed.

We must also remember that "It's not who votes that counts, it's who counts the votes."

Oversight of the process will be crucial.

Economic inequality example:
If you worked 24/7, earning $25,000 an hour starting when Christ was born.... Today you'd almost be as wealthy as Elon Musk.

Sickening.

I guess we know who is behind the writing some of these posts now.

Screenshot of a tweet from OSINTdefender (@sentdefender) on X. The tweet claims to show a close-up of a note that Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed to President Donald Trump during a White House roundtable. The text of the note allegedly reads, ‘Very close. We need you to approve a Truth Social post soon, so you can announce deal first.’ Below the tweet, a blurry photo shows a piece of White House stationery with partially legible handwriting and the words ‘Very close’ visible at the top.

Quite possibly. I'm no expert on such matters, but I won't be surprised if he figures he must institute martial law prior to ending the shutdown. He likely (rightfully?) believes that the vote on releasing the Epstein files would then be indefinitely suspended.

Agreed. However they will wait until (days or a couple of weeks max) after the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

OMFG🤬

Truly unbelievable. These folks are absolutely despicable if they want women to be executed for having an abortion…women need to start voting like our lives depend on the outcome of elections (which we all should have been doing all along)

ICYMI: One of Turning Point USA’s first campus events since Charlie Kirk’s murder is a panel of abortion “abolitionists” — extremists who want women executed for ending their pregnancies.

Hitler referred to Jews as "pests".
Pure coincidence my ass.
