I'm hoping it's a list of the people who taught him the ropes, whether they be donors or other elected officials.
The thing with crime families like the GOP is that once you crack one, others become available. It can be an avalanche.
I think they've controlled enough for long enough that they've been able to avoid those cracks. But the system is at a breaking point across the board, so I don't think the gravy train will last.
Every aspect of life demands 110% from us at all times.
We are all having to clean an entire house, cook every meal, pay huge mortgages or rents, pay loans, daycare costs, and insurance...for what? We've removed all economies of scale for ourselves, and made it to where it's easier to spend the cash to have someone else do it. They then get the economies of scale that we used to have when we lived with extended family and didn't have to pay for every basic service multiple times.
It's exhausting, and there's no slack left in the system. You can't cut back on much to make the rest float, because everything is the maximum cost it can be for even the shitty versions, and prices on everything go up continually with no real raises available for the vast majority.
We are one major catastrophe away from huge swaths of our population becoming migrant refugees to other states.
We've removed all redundancy and forgot that it's synonym is resiliency. We are absolutely fucked, it's just a matter of counting the time before the house of cards collapses.
I responded to this:
The world has almost 8 billion people. Maybe we could do with a few less.
Which is vague. And vagueness is often used to give plausible deniability when eugenicists are on the march. So cool on you for giving such grace to an internet stranger, but when I read things like this, it always includes what is between the lines.
This is a fine position if you're ok with your worst enemy getting to make the decision about who gets to procreate and live.
"Happy Easter, kids!" As he reloads and shows the country the true meaning of Christmas, gunning down school children.
Has Russia ever waged war which did not aim to add to their contiguous landmass?
Because when you take in conjunction that they're telling Europe not to worry, when only a week ago they were kind of threatening Poland, it seems like they might be lying. Again.
It's food, so you can use a regular fork instead of a pitch.
Out of money soon on purpose. A bunch of people will take the loss, carry it forward on their taxes, and now that Trump is allowed back on Twitter, truth social has served its actual purpose.
I think that having cogent statements about a thing he was well prepared for is not mutually exclusive with being an addled idiot in other areas of his life.
He's had too much koolade and thought he could get away with more and more based on the force of his personality. We are watching it bite him in the ass in real time.
Sure, burn pits and other crap will help.
But this kind of ammo, kids will find and hang on to. They bring it home, add it to their collection of other cool shit they've scavenged...and then their brothers and sisters are born with malformed limbs, mishaped heads, etc.
There have been a lot of stories written about it over the years. The one I read was specifically about Iraq I believe, but it was a while ago.
Not only is alcohol legal, it was made legal again after its own failed prohibition.
