Developing a psychological theory of history that posits the human mind can't handle staring into the void that fiat money doesn't have any intrinsic value despite the immense value in using it and so is driven to burn an otherwise working system down to avert cosmic horror

People need to realize that what’s happening is a revolution led by the worst people in the world, whose goals mean suffering on a scale not seen for nearly a century.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It isn’t about fraud; it’s never been about fraud or waste. It’s about wrecking the government. It’s about destroying the United States. We all need to face this simple obvious fact before it’s too late.

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

The Republican Party isn’t subservient to Trump. They’re complicit. They know exactly what he’s doing and they fucking love it. The Republican Party is partying tonight.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is how the Tea Party started, after all. They just showed up and talked angry shit for a summer & then they got a lot of money from conservative donors, ran candidates for the next Congress and voila, the groundwork laid for takeover of their party. It is far from impossible to do. Hint. Hint.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

Everyone realizes none of this has anything to do with reducing waste or fraud, right? The Trump crime family is very simply destroying everything good about the United States. We’re seeing pure evil at work.

State governments should cut off all state and local cooperation with the FBI, and they should do it immediately. No law requires it, the Constitution fully empowers you to not even return their calls. But there is no legitimate purpose now in treating them as an acceptable partner for anything.

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

It was about 250 years ago that my family decided to go to war against the vast military and economic empire they had served in order to create an America with no king. Many other Americans have similar family histories.

Quick reminder Donald Trump is Constitutionally disqualified from holding office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, is not the President, and no amount of collusion by Republicans or cowardice by Democrats will change this fundamental fact.

I hope this is my last post of the day (my followers enthusiastically concur): 1) Trump and Musk are cowards who will quit 2) Embracing doom/surrender is the surest way to empower them and give them what they want 3) They will be a circular firing squad soon 4) This is going to suck but we will win

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.
