Can you consider vetting and dispersing info?
Allegations of “Sovereign Wealth Fund” plan to be backed by Social Security/SSDI accounts, invested in crypto and ‘lost’ in a devaluation transfer. These Funds are ONLY for Surplus funds, not with deficit spending.

When people start feeling the pain, they’ll take it out on their elected reps first. The anger will stay local before it spreads to DC.

Consider: The Donald Trump Paradox. A man both clueless and cunning, a human foghorn blasting nonsense—yet always finding the escape hatch. From bone spurs to stolen election lies, he shirks blame like an art form. A maestro of misdirection, conducting a symphony of scapegoats. That's our Donnie!

What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's a stupid sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.

They already did that his first term and look where that went. It only gets worse.

History Rhyme:

"Many German bureaucrats (conservatives)... believed they could control Hitler... use his popular support to achieve their own goals... however, once in power, Hitler quickly consolidated... establishing a totalitarian regime where no one could effectively check his power."

That's what the German aristocracy thought about you know who

They have been mass castrated. Maybe some women will physically benefit from this.

In another year the Senate and House will be irrelevant - another big "savings" for the country.

No it’s not!!!!

Believing Trump is your useful idiot reveals your own idiocy. He's a governing dolt for sure, but an incredibly dangerous man. He can't be persuaded, reasoned with, intimidated, frightened, or bullied. He's impervious to your powers. You will lose. Every time.

I want an article explaining the psychology of the Republicans who think they are controlling Trump and musk.

Yes, just how far are nonTrumpy GOPs (in private at least) going to let all this go? Is there a line in the sand? Are they that spineless? They're watching the rise of America's Hitler (not my words, Vance's) with the power to stop him. Do they think it'll go well for them under his absolute rule?

cactus297.bsky.social•52 days ago

They are using the lies/conspiracies they tell trumps followers in order to keep them uninformed, angry and hateful.

lfriest.bsky.social•52 days ago

This is not going to end well. Lives will be lost and some just may well be politicians and their supporters
