I live in a blue city surrounded by a red state. I am a very blue Democrat. I work with my hands.
I believe when MAGA conservatives claim they want to be "tough" on something like crime or immigration or trade or "woke liberalism" etc. What they really mean is they want to be "ruinous".

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Trump and Republicans think they are close to a permanent lock on power.
"JUST A LITTLE FURTHER !" They think.
But it won't get them there. That next step to grab power is stepping off a ledge and into an abyss.
Seizing voting records in Fulton County GA is one foot in the air to take that step.

I have a suspicion that this latest pseudo populist demand by Trump for CC companies to cap interest rates at 10% is really just a ploy to get them to deny credit to more working poor people and drive them into riskier, less regulated loan markets owned by Trump et.al

My goal of creating a stable middle class lifestyle for my family and myself is being brutally assaulted by people who profit from chaos.
Everything the right has done for the past 50yrs has harmed the middle class and poor. They're now accelerating that harm while squealing like hogs at a trough.

I think maybe the whole thing was for the photo op of him sitting in the situation room looking serious watching the live stream of Maduros capture.
He still looks like a douchebag from the 80's and still can't match the gravitas of Obama during Bin Laden raid.

Maybe he'll resign to go run Venezuela!
I'm sure we'll be learning about his luxury golf resort there in the near future.
Paid for by oil company donations, of course.

Billionaires with ties to Trump and MAGA should withdraw support for him, and quick!
Trump's "democracy held hostage" situation has devolved into chaos.
He'll take them, all their wealth and our economy down with him. All they'll be left with is chaos and a furious population to try and lord over

I still believe the extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Republican regime is simultaneously attempting to plunder and shrink the economy so they can capture all the wealth and collapses the economy when they lose to hamstring the next Democrat lead government

Is there a limit on the number of days the house can be held out of session before it is considered awol or something and new elections must be held to replace it?
Is there a limit on the timeouts Johnson can take?

Trump and company want to destroy and simplify the U.S. and Global economy and rules and regulations so they can get their hands around its throat, and sqeeze!
He and his coconspiritors(and family) need to have all their wealth seized so theyre punished for all their unscrupulous fuckery.

When I see any images of Trump and Epstein together I can easily imagine all the allegations being true. I can also imagine there being a lot of cocaine snorting by everyone in those images. I can also imagine Trump laundering cartel money for Epstein through his failed casinos and such

Ever since the 80's, when I first heard of Trump, I just thought he was a giant douchebag. He's never really seemed like anything else to me.

I can't wait to learn if Trump's failed casinos and other shady business dealings were wrapped up in an international sex trafficking and money laundering scheme. I hope this takes down him and the others involed.

If I were a betting man, I'd put money on MAGA doing something horrendous, dumb and dangerous on or around January 1st. Something more than just invading Venezuela. That, but also something domestic. Foreign enemy plus domestic enemies necessitates goverment purge/permanent takeover yada yada yada

National Debt: ~$38T
Combined wealth of U.S billionaires: ~$47T
One time, 80% tax on combined U.S. billionaire wealth: ~$38T
Outlandish, exorbitant, executive pay is also a tax on workers.

I think it's absolutely necessary for Republicans to blink first, then cave on the shutdown showdown. They need to see what happens when Trump starts to panic about the Epstein files and viciously turns on them.

I think Trump wants to instigate a war with Venezuela and/or Columbia so he can invoke war powers.
When it turns to shit, and too few people want to volunteer to fight in that unjust war, in the jungles of South America, he and Pete Hegseth will reinstate the draft. What a waste it will all be.

Our government and economy are vast, interconnected, complex systems with many inputs, outputs, buttons, levers, and switches that monitor and control everything for stability. The Trump regime is carelessly bypassing all the safeties to hot wire it for self enrichment and harmful intent.
