Trump basically seems like a late 90s Boris Yeltsin: Out of it, enriching himself and his family as much as he can, and letting the broligarchy run roughshod over the government

He didn't want to be president, he just wanted to stay out of jail, so he sold it to Musk, and they decided to destroy the country and further enrich themselves at the same time.
We are indeed in the late Yeltsin phase, and in a matter of months will be in the mid-Putin phase when broligarchs start mysteriously suffering from terminal defenestration. Because the CDC disease information remains offline the broligarchs will be unable to Google its symptoms.
Yes, Asha. It's all about the grift. Whatever they can pillage is theirs to keep, and then later demand a statue in the National Mall (if it still exists).
Everything I need to know about politics, I learned from "I, Claudius." The scenario you describe reminds me of the Tiberius/Sejanus episodes. There are some hard times ahead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG0mkkLXVCs
I don't like that comparison. Yelstin started out as a hero of democracy who brought down the soviet dictatorship. Then he succumbed to his alcoholism. He was nothing like Trump. The comparison is an insult to Yeltsin.
He’s a crook and a conman and he has been both for his entire life. He cares about nothing but himself, never about this country. He’s making America a pariah around the world.
Think back to 2016. When you boil it down, wasn’t Russian semi-clandestine support for Trump (and a lot of other stuff, besides) essentially “payback” and a scheme to “get even” for whatever role the US Intelligence community will surely deny, installing Yeltsin?
Giving an unelected billionaire DIRECT ACCESS to the U.S. Treasury payment system for hundreds of millions Americas means we're affectively run by the broligarchy!
Good analogy. Still the Russians at least didn't choose the guy who was an obvious sociopath. Boris seemed like a nice guy. Not saying he was, but seemed folksy and cheerful and probably told great stories and made people laugh.
Fun fact: Biff Tannen in BTTF 2 is portrayed to be Trump (it’s why he looks like him). In the 80’s people knew trump was a con.
Biff=Trump. Once you know this, you can’t unsee it https://youtu.be/AtOGLWtn8_8?si=CXseGdLGoLCjWx25
Seems more like a later 90’s Putin. Ready to privatize the Govt & create bidding wars between the Brologarghs to control it; enriching themselves obscenely.
And he will crash the US economy to 1990s Russia levels too. As someone who has lived through it, his voters are in for quite the ride, and unfortunately the rest of us. Musk’s talk of us needing to go through “necessary hardship” gave me flashbacks of shock therapy.
Far different. The Russian oligarchs were in it for the money. The Trump zealots seek to transform society and punish those who oppose them. The Trump crowd are far more dangerous. When does the last time you tried to reason successfully with a zealot? Trust me. You cannot do it.
That bullet was a setup. It never touched his ear. Two days later his ear was pristine. Poor schmuck got killed to keep him quiet. What have we ever heard about this event? Nada!
he's not running the country, isn't that cause for impeachment?
and being grossly incompetent not to say his dereliction of his duties.
So he signs a bunch of EO then goes golfing leaving his gones to run the country .
Thats the forecast, isn't it? That the US will re-enact the Russia of the 1980's and 90's with an oligarchy and a gangster government contolling the state.
The mission of T is destroy the hegemony of the US and the west as dEMOCRATIC super powers. The evidence of this has been chronicled for a decade. Is there a piece of evidence to the contrary?
This time he's just there for revenge on all his perceived enemies and the people who didn't just let him have what he wanted through his whole life, and to stuff his pockets.
His good friend Xi Jinping is very happy
He’s talking to prospective allies, saying join us and we will help you build infrastructure, develop your resources and grow your economy along with us.

If he gets impeached, they have JD to step into the figurehead position for the broligarchs. If JD is gone, Johnson steps in for the zealots. Scary.

I hate the fact the term broligarchy has to be a thing now.

Anyone? I assume the courts still don’t touch it.
No joke
The guardians of the US system expected the threat to be Brown or poor White people.
They never expected it to be a rich White man. Just like the USSR guardians never expected the threat to be from one of their own, Gorbachev
Systems are always overthrown by elements of the ruling group.
I only hope that this steels our national will as these execrable cretins run wild through our executive branch for four years.
Congress has to wake up at some point. If not, odds are worse…
Like Vlad did, hand-delivering the Kompromat tapes to the media.
Rewarded by Yeltsin, handing over presidency.
Sounds familiar?
Hello Al Franken @alfranken.bsky.social , how are you doing?
and being grossly incompetent not to say his dereliction of his duties.

Fortunately, we have no KGB.
Elections have consequences.
Trump -Head if state
Musk -Head of government
