We are serfs ruled by obscenely rich, omnipotent masters who loot the U.S. Treasury, pay little or no taxes & have perverted the judiciary, the media & the legislative branches of government to strip us of civil liberties & give them the freedom to commit financial fraud & theft.

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

Never before has every dipshit rich fuck said “we’re building a bubble” while the US gov’t has been also seized by rich fucks who are participating in the bubble-building. I only took undergrad micro & macro econ, but even I know this plane is on fire & missing a wing

Just have to take a beat to say that the people that have long warned about state violence and the militarization of law enforcement were right.

It's happening right in front of you.

Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act.

It's happening in plain sight.

She’s a seditious, treasonous usurper of America’s tradition of impartial justice and rule of law, and one day she should pay a terrible price for her betrayal of the Constitution and the oath she swore

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Most overvalued market in history, well above the other two valuation peaks in 1929 and 2000…this thing could and probably will flip on a dime, soon enough

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

There is no budget "deal" to be made

President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.
