Empty Husk is no ones’ savior except to the billionaires boys club. America is fast devolving into Feudalism. And it doesn’t help that a significant number loves the idea of kissing “royal” monied behinds.
America doesn’t have $36 trillion in debt because everyday people have Social Security and Medicare. Those are funded entitlements that they paid into. It’s because billionaires and millionaires aren’t paying their fair share in taxes.
I laugh at the MAGAs who hated electric cars just a short time ago, but now seem to adore Elongated Muskrat. We’ll see how many trade in their super lifted coal rollin’ diesel F350 pickemups for a Cybertruck. AKA the Deplorian.
Congress has the sole power to determine how the agencies of the federal government are created and organized. Congress did not authorize the “Department of Governmental Efficiency”. In a stroke of massive irony, this so-called DOGE will be INefficiently headed by not one “buck stops here” Cabinet-level secretary but two unelected, unappointed, easily distracted billionaire autocrats (Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy), whose massive egos and self-assured overconfidence at always getting their own ways is practically a gold-plated guarantee of future feuds and deadlocks.
Apparently these experience-free egocentrists have taken it as their remit to dismantle the agencies that actually elected officials have, over the course of centuries, established to meet the needs of American citizens. And to do so as quickly as possible, using meat cleavers instead of scalpels. Their motto appears to be “Act in haste, repent at leisure — but hey, why repent at all?”.
If truth in advertising applied to the incoming administration, this extra-legal assault force would be more accurately named the “Department of Destroying Governmental Efficiency” (DODGE).

It’s probably the Gulf of America or the Greenland invasion or the Panama Canal takeover threats.

I was alarmed to read an article about how the “gospel of prosperity” preachers are converting many Latinos to the GQP.

I cannot wait for Trump’s next term. I’m hoping it is ten to twenty with no parole. With Hannibal Lector as his cellmate.

President Musk and First Bimbo (because he ain’t no lady!) Trump are about as TOXIC a couple this side water and electricity.
