they always cave when the heat turns up. Medicare is still the third rail, they will fold like cheap suits every time.
They try this every few years:
• Float Medicare cuts
• Blame “the math”
• Wait for outrage
• Backtrack once the AARP, veterans, and half of Florida start calling their offices

He’s staging a constitutional cage match. Force the courts to react. Make headlines. Drown out scandal. And show his base he’s “in control” no matter what.
This isn’t law enforcement. It’s authoritarian performance art.

Trump sends in the Guard to LA. Watch for “counter-protests” staged by pardoned J6 rioters & Proud Boys quietly funded by Stone or Bannon. No proof yet but if you know Trump, you know the chaos is never accidental. This smells like another staged crisis. #LAProtests

Ah yes, the White House Ballroom a totally real project Trump is launching single-handedly, funded by fairy dust and delusion. No congressional approval, no historical oversight, just pure egomania with gold trim. Meanwhile, the country burns and he’s playing Sims. 🙄

Nothing says fair trial like having Pam Bondi declare your guilt on Fox News before the jury is even picked. Who needs courts when you’ve got cable?

ICE agents are roasting in a shipping container in Djibouti because Trump’s DHS would rather defy a judge than follow the law. They could be rescued in hours but they’re being used as props in a MAGA stunt. This isn’t “law and order.” It’s sadistic, cowardly, and criminal.

If this is really about eugenics, are they planning to sterilize themselves too? Sacrifice their own children? Of course not. That’s the hypocrisy people pushing this stuff never think they’re the ones who’d be targeted. Eugenics was always about control, not consistency.

Agreed, the orange stain in the White house clearly belongs in a padded room, not the Oval Office.

Rand says GOP will “own the debt” if this bill passes.
Newsflash: they’ve owned it since Reagan.
Trickle-down flops, Bush wars, Trump tax cuts trillions added.
They rack it up, then scream when Dems mop it up.
They don’t fear debt. They just hate paying for it.

2018: Cambridge Analytica was first strike. Dems took House Pelosi did nothing. Won in 2020 Biden still nothing. No laws. No exec jailed. Palantir grew. Musk took over. Now your data fuels Trumps Deep State 2.0. Enabled by Dem silence. Bought by Big Tech.
Citizen United destroyed our democracy

They’re not trying to “save” Medicare they’re trying to bleed it dry and sell it off. The “Big Beautiful Bullshit Bill” is a death sentence for anyone who plans on aging.

Trump usually writes with:
All Caps all over the place
Disjointed, repetitive sentence fragments.
Personal insults
Exclamation points after nearly every sentence.
Who Probably Wrote:
Stephen Miller
Trump aide from his media team

The Ten Commandments?
Half are about stroking God’s ego.
Nothing on slavery, rape, or basic kindness.
Hitchens had the better list:
defend liberty,
think freely,
seek truth,
harm none, and
never outsource your conscience.
Morality needs reason, not thunderbolts.

Moderna’s out some government money now, but if the science works, they’ll get paid in spades later from:
International sales
Emergency stockpile deals
Licensing
Wall Street love

Putin didn’t de-Nazify Ukraine. He just re-Sovietized Russia.
🔒 It’s not ideology anymore. It’s pure authoritarian survival.

3. Digital lockdown
Ruble-based debit cards. Social credit scores. Buy outside state channels? You’re cut off.
4. Permanent wartime state
Curfews. Border closures. Expanded FSB powers. Full media blackout. Paranoia is the policy.
All this to cover for battlefield failure and cling to power.

🧵 Here’s what’s coming:
1. Full military-industrial seizure
Factories, logistics, private companies absorbed into war production. Obey or “fall from a window.”
2. Savings wiped, replaced with vouchers
Expect patriotic-sounding “accounts” that strip citizens of real wealth. Collective serfdom 2.0
