Democrat, Puerto Rican. I'm just one angry American who believes you can't have taxation without representation. (In case you miss my point, I believe Puerto Rico should be a state with representation in Congress).

Watching Black Mirror, Hotel Reverie - how is this not an Assassins creed plot?

My nightmare is that I will end up on a subscription plan to stay alive. I know that’s corporate America’s goal but I hate it.

America is acting like a classical toxic male. Overstate one’s importance in the world. Overestimate one’s value to others. Challenge an enemy to a fight they can’t win. Blame everyone else around them for their own shortcomings. Take your frustrations out on those closest to you.

Save act passed. Will have to work with wife to get her the documentation she needs to vote. This government can't stop finding ways to make my life more complicated. Maybe in the future they could just show up and break my leg or something?

I would prefer this global economic collapse and subsequent collapse of America would hurry up. The wait is killing me. I look forward to finding out what my career will be in the Western states before we go to war with the Texas empire.

Know who your friends aren't.

I am glad Dave Portnoy is losing money in his investments. I’m actually glad all retirees and investors are losing money. You get what you vote for and support. The rich in this country supported this fat idiot who’s trashing the country. Fuck them is my attitude right now. Let Rome burn.

I’m going to be silent the next few days as I prepare for the coming depression.

This is some dumb shit even for Trump. This also means his advisors are idiots. No one is there to reign in the stupidity. I’m more convinced than ever we are going into a depression.

We are going to go into a depression in the US. All of those that wanted to know what it was like, buckle up. You’re about to find out. Prepare to lose jobs, homes, retirement, etc. Also anyone in bad health, old, infirm or needing extra care. God help us all.

These tariffs are going to decimate our economy and families across the world. All prices are going to rise. You can’t do business without raising prices. The crazy thing is MAGA are saying, “give it time you will see.” The longer it goes on the worse it will be for Americans. MAGA are stupid!!

The government cannot exist without income. Government income is through taxes. The sooner we accept that you can't have public services without some sort of tax the better we'll be as a country. The war on paying taxes of any sort is dumb. It's a war on the basic infrastructure and services.

I do not trust my government. I do not think they have the best interests of the American public in mind. I definitely don't want to give them any information on who I am.

None of this is surprising. The Republican playbook at this point is: 1) Commit Crimes to seize power/goal. 2) Deny Crimes committed. 3) If Evidence is presented, attack the messenger. 4) If the evidence is damning, lie. Get Fox News to Lie. 6) If Public balks, find scapegoat. (Biden best).
