They are so afraid of losing their MAGAt base that they will instead lose the whole enchilada.

Like Orwell wrote in 1984…

“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power... Power is not a means; it is an end.”

Our recourse is to vote in representation that will actually dethrone the wanna be king.

Which I find odd, considering all he is known to have done in his first term.

I wonder if there’s a glitch in the election system or if the rhetorical failure is a matter of political malpractice?

don't want to hear are two big ones.

The oligarchs and the corporations they own and operate, including traditional mass and new social media, profit from regressive US policies — especially taxation and spending, plus a two-tiered “Just-Us” system geared to make the rich richer.

Trump is not the culmination of the VRWC effort to destroy liberalism and the New Deal, only its latest incarnation of the “Great Man on a White Horse.” Otherwise, a wanking slug of his talent couldn’t manage the valet parking at a slow restaurant, let alone “serve” as leader of the Free World.

Fuck them and all who support their treason, foreign and domestic.

Trump would be nowhere without the sycophantic GOP who are using him to consolidate their own little fiefdoms and grift money.

MAGAts are doing all they can to rewrite the law, overthrow precedent and invent history to cement their seemingly overwhelming minority.

he wants because republicans are spineless, plus they are pretty much getting their way too. I guarantee you if this was Biden did one tenth of what trumpy has done, he would have been impeached!

The traitor was caught red-handed. His co-conspirator Aileen Cannon gave him time to avoid conviction of Insurrection. His co-conspirator John Roberts gave him immunity to do whatever he thought fit. His co-conspirator Elon Musk fixed his “triumphant return.”

Psst: What No One Will Tell You About the National Debt (But I Will)

You really need to know this

ROBERT REICH

Excerpt…

As of March 31, our publicly held debt was $31.27 trillion, while America’s GDP in 2025 was $31.22 trillion. This puts the ratio at 100.2 percent, compared with 99.5 percent when the last fiscal year ended September 30.

That 100.2 percent figure will likely climb, because the federal government is running historically large annual deficits of nearly 6 percent of GDP, which add to the debt. The final tally will depend on Iran war spending, tariff refunds, and the strength of the economy.

Snip…

The real problem is that an increasing portion of our nation’s budget — and your tax dollars — is dedicated to paying interest on this growing debt. That’s money we don’t spend on education, healthcare, roads and bridges, social safety nets, or (if we actually needed more spending on it) national defense.

As the debt continues to grow, interest payments continue to soar. We’ll soon be paying more in interest on the federal debt each year than we spend each year on Medicare.

So, who exactly receives these interest payments? This is an issue you hear very little discussion about, because the wealthy and powerful of this country would rather you didn’t know.

You probably do hear that a chunk of our debt is held by foreign governments and foreign investors. That’s true, but they hold only about 30 percent of our debt. The rest — roughly 70 percent — is held domestically. That is, we pay the interest to ourselves.

Snip…

The richest 1 percent of U.S. households hold about 35.6 percent of all financial assets — shares of stock, corporate bonds, and Treasury bills — so it’s safe to assume they hold at least a third of all Treasury bills.

Snip...

Interest payments on the national debt this year are expected to reach $1 trillion.

Snip...

The wealthiest Americans used to pay higher taxes to finance the government. Now, the government pays wealthy Americans interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on wealthy Americans.

Is it any wonder why the GOP defunds public education and public media while piratizing all that’s not nailed down? To maintain their privilege, power, and wealth, they keep We the People dumb, numb and crumb-fed.
