   Ok. So the flooding the zone thing is very real, and it works. Trump does 10 to 100 things a day to provoke outrage. Some of them escape notice while journalists address the highest profile of them. Each individual will have to watch his back for the next 4 years, at least, as there are no guardrails anymore. Assume your bank is trying to charge you unfairly for letting them use your money. Don’t go into debt over investing opportunities beyond a few percent of your account’s value. It’s the golden age for grifters. The time Trump thinks was great is when common people were mostly poor, a few people were inconceivably rich, and every few years saw the collapse of the banking system.

   Points for the Quisling reference… not sure it’s quite apt but nice. It’s most like Rome abandoning its republic for Julius Caesar except that any historical analog will be not quite right as they were all competent.

   Alright math time again… putting aside the fact that Doge “savings” are lies, if we send 20% of 50 billion to taxpayers that works out to about $60 each. The fact that the “savings” are actually a few million is irrelevant. The cost to rebuild what they’ve torn down will be in the hundreds of billions. The cost of the deaths is incalculable. The cost in losing our allies is infinite. Aligning ourselves with Putin is unimaginable, but here we are.

   Reagan was just an actor they hired to draw working people away from dems. They’ve had their way ever since.

   “Pearls” captures the right mood. Dark humor stifles tears for the fall of the West.

   It’s all about right wing mythology that government is worthless. Every time it takes you days to get something done involving the government, thank your tax cuts for “trimming the fat” and throwing people out of work.

    So, if Musk has his way, a few million civil servants will be unemployed. A few billion dollars in spending will be eliminated. As always with Republicans, it just serves to punish the poor and reward the rich. The actual effect on the federal budget will be less than .1%. But the right-wing theater is priceless..
