Does fetal personhood open up the possibility that a pregnant person could sue her fetus for restricting her life choices, like career or lifestyle? Sounds unlikely, but so does anything else these proponents say.

The point of Trump’s tariffs (regressive sales taxes) is to shift paying for government from all taxpayers to just the poor & middle class. The next step is a permanent huge tax cut for the wealthy. The “we” who need to suffer is not all of us! Then the wealthy will be getting their tax break!

Musk, Vance, Thiel, et al are oligarch wannabes à la Dark Enlightenment. They’re dedicated to destroying ALL democracies. There is no “long game”. Hitler ruined Germany in 53 days. Time is of the essence!

I recently learned that Musk's family originally came from Canada and that his grandfather was an active right-winger, a Nazi sympathizer, there during a time when such activity was not popular. Maybe Trump's absurd animus toward Canada stems from Musk's family stories whispered in Trump's ear.

Perhaps the best alternative to using the term « oligarch » is to use the terms « King » (as Trump has for himself) and « Lords & Ladies » from an extreme form of right-wing government originating in Silicon Valley,followed by Musk, Vance & Curtis Yarvin called techno-feudalism.

He rightfully looks sick. I know that the obnoxious behavior of Trump/Vance made me sick. I can only hope that Rubio understands the plans to subvert & eliminate our democratic government.
