I DON'T believe any Jan 6 rioters will see much more than a token amount from the $1.8 Billion "whatever" fund. I DO believe the lions share will go to obscenely wealthy close ally's, and family, of Trump who will then pay Trump some form of kickback.

I don't do the prediction market thing but I predict the Trump chaos will reach a crescendo around July 4. Then, over the following 4 or 5 months, all his perverse, corrupt schemes will come crashing down on his head and he and MAGAmania will start to fall apart and fizzle out. Then...the hangover.

It seems like Trump's wealth is doubling about every 6 months during his second term in office. I think that means, if that trend continues, he'll abscond with about 512 billion dollars by the end of his term. That is worth a great deal more scrutiny.

I don't do the prediction market thing but if I did I would put a few bucks on Trump inviting Putin or Orban or some other autocratic fuckface to The White House to watch his gladiator distraction games this summer on 250th anniversary of our great democracy, that he plundering.

I think the Epstein stuff the Trump administration is most concerned with, more than even the kinky rape stuff, is the stuff that portrays him as a truly, complete useful idiot for Epstein and his handlers.

------GOP Diner Menu------ #47: THE SHIT SANWICH One big, overcooked, 1980's style, nostalgia bullshit patty with slice of orange cheese product, wilted lettuce and mealy tomato between two soggy white bread buns with a side of chewy tallow fries and a flacid pickle. Chefs Kiss! 86 menu item #47!

Trump/MAGA climbed up a hill and pushed a boulder down at the liberal houses in the village. It started a landslide that now threatens the whole village, even the conservative houses. I hope they get crushed trying to stop it but they'll probably just shrug and try to walk away. Jail awaits them.

86 the shit sandwich off the menu? We can't! Corporate sent us like 4 years worth of shit sandwiches. Trump promised them it would be the most popular menu item since Trump Steaks so they went all in. Everyone told them it was a pyramid scheme but Trump sold more shit sandwiches than anyone ever.

I think the more Trump latches onto our economy and government the more he spreads his bankrupt, diseased ideology to our economy and democracy. He's simultaneously gorging himself and sickening our democracy. He's not alone. We've stumbled into the weeds and got covered in ticks. Vote them out!

It started with: "a few less dolls and pencils for Christmas" and has devolved into: *more summer staycations *wear more sweaters next winter *get more roommates *just go out to dinner every third month. *don't send your kids to college *max out your credit cards *dig into your retirement

Trump is a Hindenburg like disaster and the extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Republican party are the passengers. "Oh the Humanity!" I guess.

Viktor Orban didn't concede because he lost. He conceded because of how big he lost, and he values his own skin. Had it been close he likely would be trying to hold onto power. Republicans must lose and lose big in the midterms and Trump has to lose, flee the country big, in the '28 general.

The whole weird Melanie thing makes me wonder if she ever helped Epstein or Maxwell "recruit" young girls and women from Slovenia for their global sex trafficking ring.

That so many people have died and we've spent blood and treasure is bad enough but it infuriates me that perhaps this whole war against Iran was a pump and dump scheme by the president so he and his corrupt cronies could get richer manipulating the markets

I wish the voting public could directly invoke the 25th amendment or vote on impeachment like a special referendum

Since there is private equity profit tied to the "ICE detention centers" popping up all over the country they will try to keep them full even when there aren't enough immigrants to fill them. They'll be re-purposed as gulags and reeducation centers for non Christian Nationalist

Trumplethinskin

The extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Republican party has become a corrupt, festering wound on that needs to be washed clean by a salty blue wave.

Just because you can use your wealth to capture the entire revenue stream and accumulate more of the nations wealth and then outsource all the harm, responsibilities, and stress to the rest of us, doesn't mean that's what you should do. Doing that makes you and immense, intolerable shithead.

If you're a billionaire and think you alone earned it and you don't owe more to the rest of us, who aren't part of your executive team, you're willfully ignorant of this fact. People like us contribute immensely to the infrastructure that made you possible. You must pay higher wages and more taxes!

I bet that since Trump thinks he's succeeding at everything he said he'd do for "his" voters, he also thinks they now owe him. He likely thinks everyone one owes him and that justifies his corrupt plundering

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. #Pinks #ProudBlue

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.

The foreign misadventuring begins

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?

Trumps speech last night was a "whimper rantrum"

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.

The whole extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist MAGA Trump government regime feels like a bank robbery gone wrong that's turned into a hostage situation.

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.

Trumps "Epstein Ball Room" looks like the vanity project of a vainglorious old narcissist.

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.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

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.

The Trump regime with Tom Homan in charge has created a mercenary (ICE) army that has learned from the mistakes of, but is very similar to, Putin, Prigozhin, and Wagner Group. Their goal is to violently oppress peaceful opposition and enable greater corruption. Look at the sign up incentives and pay

40 years of disingenuous and zealous Republican policy and scheming and lazy thinking have led to this extreme right-wing Christian Nationalist fascist power grab. For what!? Greed? To put everyone in their place beneath them?

Trump and the Republicans aren't going to own the shutdown or any of the other fuckups they've created unless Democrats sell that idea to the American public. Every elected Democrat needs to go on the offensive, hard, starting now, for the next 13 months. Flood the airwaves and all forms of media.
