Just going to write some stuff and post it here.
I’ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they don’t like the color.

Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation.
The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

Trump’s fragile little ego might need a parade to feel powerful … but America doesn’t. We don’t need tanks in the street or troops marching past golden stages to know who we are. Real strength doesn’t come with fireworks and forced applause. It doesn’t throw a birthday parade to feel relevant.

Ah yes… nothing says banana republic in a smoking jacket like a convicted sheriff peddling badges for bribes—and then getting a golden get-out-of-jail-free card from the same man who once sold steaks and universities like snake oil.

RFK Jr., now Health Secretary in name and folklore, says autism is caused by toxins in our food, water, and maybe…ultrasound. No data. No scientists. Just a crusade against shadows with a federally funded spotlight.
This is public health hijacked by a man who thinks epidemiology is a witch trial.

At Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall, stun guns crackled, protesters were dragged out, and she smiled through it all-blaming the media and denying she profited from tariffs she cheered in Congress and traded on in private.
She defends liberty like a butcher defends sheep.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is allegedly locked in a prison funded by the very government that admits it got it wrong. A U.S. senator flew down to see him. He was turned away. El Salvador says the U.S. is paying the bill. And they are.

Trump and RFK Jr. just proposed gutting health programs by $40B. Head Start? Gone. Public health? Now called the Administration for a Healthy America-which sounds like a vitamin pyramid scheme with riot gear.
Call it austerity. Call it freedom. Just don’t call an ambulance-they defunded that too.

Col. Susannah Meyers praised unity among allies. JD Vance wanted Cold War cosplay. So the Pentagon fired her … for the crime of saying, “Actually, we get along just fine.”

The House just passed a bill to stop “rogue judges” from blocking Trump’s orders. Because nothing says separation of powers like rewriting the rules when the referees call fouls.
This is fascism with a gavel and a goddamn grin.
Democracy is now available in executive orders only.

Trump’s budget is dead on arrival $5.7 trillion in debt wrapped in tax cuts and prayer. Johnson shelved it after the hardliners screamed it wasn’t cruel enough!
And so the empire argues over who gets to sink the ship.

Trump slaps a 104% tariff on China. China fires back with 84%. The markets flinch. Eggs go up. Hope goes down.
This is economic arson with patriotic branding. A trade war waged like a bar fight: loud, dumb, and full of broken glass.
Globalization dies, not with a bang, but with a receipt.

Fifteen medics in Marked ambulances. Lights on. Unarmed. Shot dead. Buried in the sand.
Israel says it was a mistake.
Truth arrives late in war.
This isn’t defense.
It’s bureaucracy with a gun. It’s the Geneva Conventions redacted with blood.
Humanity, once again, filed under “collateral.”

Canada’s pissed. Europe’s plotting. Detroit’s nervous. And you? You’re about to pay $8,000 more for a Subaru built on a planet we no longer pretend to understand.
This isn’t protectionism… it’s a demolition derby in a collapsing strip mall.
Freedom now comes with financing and a surcharge.

Trump just lit the global economy on fire with a 10% tariff on everything, and anyone who ever sold America a toaster.This isn’t trade policy, it’s economic Russian roulette with all six chambers loaded and labeled “America First.”
