Analysis | On the surface, it seems racist for Donald Trump to replace the Black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff with a lower-ranking white general. But what if the lower-ranking white general was a member of Blacks for Trump?

Firing 7000 IRS agents will make it even easier for the rich to get away with skirting what they owe. But it's also a gift to the multi-billion dollar tax prep industry. Fewer IRS agents to help you file your taxes means more money in the pockets of companies like TurboTax.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

It’s obvious, but I’ll say it anyway. The massive purge of government employees—who are loyal to their jobs and their mission and their craft—is to replace them with people who are loyal to DJT only. That’s it. Loyalty and obedience over skill and competence. At our cost. All of us.

A full-on purge of the military leadership, targeting women and people of color. This perfectly captures where we are: An escalating authoritarian takeover of the state, combined with an aggressive program to re-segregate the spheres of influence and power and restore complete white male dominance.
