this entire article is an argument for dems to refuse to lift a single fucking finger to help republicans pass a dirty CR. if congressional republicans can go straight to musk to get relief for their districts but congressional democrats can't, then there's absolutely no reason to help, at all.

While rural people only make up about 20% of the overall US population, they make up about 44% of the military. I wish my people would look around and see how much disdain the Republicans show the military and veterans. They lie to you. They hate you. Wake up, friends.

This likely confirms that the decision to arrest him was made at the highest levels of government, a terrifying return to the policies of ideological exclusion last seen used during the heights of the Cold War. A very, very worrying precedent at the start of this government.

Trump's entire shtick has always been "I will make you rich." It's what his TV show was, what his books and "university" were, and it's what his presidency is. It's all about the hope that if you support him and do what he does, you'll become him. It's all a con. It always was. It always will be.
