Sorry... why would there need to be an emergency indoor inauguration on January 20, 2029 with bulletproof glass and protections against civilian monitoring tech?
Oh, that's right. Martial law is coming. I keep forgetting.

Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."

Billionaires wanting to take their toys and leave everyone else behind is pretty much the Network State cult in a nutshell.
Problem is: all of their visions require our destruction. That’s why “so what“ doesn't work. This is an existential struggle: a handful of billionaires vs everyone else.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Under the Biden administration, manufacturing jobs grew. Since Trump returned to power, manufacturing bankruptcies have surged at the level of the 2008 Great Recession. Tariffs and uncertainty drive this, raising prices, cutting jobs, and harming families and communities

GOP lawmakers are trying to figure out how to reclaim their power after ceding it all to the White House.
The problem? They’re cowards, and most of them are just going to resign instead.

Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!
