Congress INaction speaks volumes— The US will be unrecognizable as a democracy and that’s what they want — they’ll retain power

You’re not wrong! Trump told everyone that this would be the last election. It would not surprise me one bit if we no longer have the systems that we do today.

Exactly! People were telling me that he never said that!! I insisted that he did all up to and through the election period.

As long as the fascist autocratic plutocracy billionaire oligarchs of the GOP are in charge the Democrats can not do much of anything. The republicans are the ones in charge of the three executive branches. Unfortunately. So, it is up to us to vote all these asshole criminals out in 2026, provided that they don't gerrymander the 2026 election like they did in 2024.

You assume we get to have an election. It has been proven that voting can’t be the only arsenal at our disposal. Very few politicians have any integrity and they have gone at great extent to put their personal interests before ours. Oligarchs have been taken down before and we can do it again. We all just have to get out of comfort zone.

I doubt you will be having elections. Elon will stop paying Democrats wages and stop all money going to Blue States, then they will imprison all Judges, journalists, Politicians, Celebrities, anyone who speaks against the Regime or was involved in tRumps Jan 6 and his prosecutions.

Also I think the 2025 plan was more than to take over the treasury Butt to invest it in something like bitcoin coin(?)they want to make money off it. Sec of treasury had interviewed before his came to his current position. The risk was also discussed.

Those MAGA folks refuse to admit they were wrong. They know they were duped, but refuse to admit their hero is a fool. Stupidity has no lower limit.

I truly want to believe the MAGA supporters are waking up to the fact they were conned. Do you feel that’s happening? (I’m hoping you’ll give me something to hold on to here.) 🙏🏻

US citizens either don't know about it, are scared to do anything about it, or are trying to not have martial law declared. There are lawsuits against it though

the budget of USAID is roughly 40 Billion, according to the Washington Post. This is less than 1% of the National Budget. It's 1% of the most wealthy taking food off the table of 1% of the most impoverished. Republicans reversing Robin Hood's motto...robbing from the poorest and giving to the richestest

Whose pocket will the 40 billion go into? They’re not “cutting costs “ for us - they’re seeing how much money they can abscond with when they’re ready

I agree focusing on current happenings is important but the those things are done. Then we’re playing catch up, trying to undo what’s been done. The speculated events are usually accurate and gives a heads up on what’s next and hopefully a way to address it before it enacted.
