It feels surreal that the political ideology that venerated Ayn Rand/Atlas Shrugged has ushered in the exact type of government that was portrayed as the villains in that novel.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

Well, here it is, folks. You can't say you didn't know the assignment.
Trump to House Republicans:
"You got to win the midterms, because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be — I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me."
"I'll get impeached."

While Trump has portrayed himself as "America First," it is quite evident in his second term that he is actually "Trump First." Trump is not a patriotic nationalist, but rather a self-serving narcissist whose loyalties extend beyond national boundaries.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.

The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business
