I wish dems had the stones of Japan and other countries that are telling trump fo f off. Dems are still twiddling their thumbs wondering how they can please maga voters. That kind of lack of action is as bad as trump's actions. Van Hollen excluded. The constitution is a piece of paper and trump is a flamethrower, while dems are asking which kind of bucket they should use to fill with water...

First: THANK YOU! I've been saying this all week! Connect the dots, they fall in a very nice straight line. However, we the rank and files are going to have to take up this mantle because I fear the current leadership of the party is still trying to figure out if their new Nokia phone is better than their Palm Pilot for keeping their schedule.

Prove me wrong. The Dems are going to deliver on nothing. They need flamethrowers up the ass just as much as the GOP. I want them getting fucking arrested for being unpleasant to the fucking fuckers.

Democratic “leaders” from the Pelosi branch of the party (Jeffries principally) need to shape up or ship out. Democratic consultants just need to ship out. And don’t get me started on Schumer and Durbin. “Cost of living action week” my backside…

Yes! And thank you for making this clear enough for even the most spooked Democrats to get the message. A a ferocious opposition party is indeed what we need now. And what we are most sorely lacking.

Somber Thoughts About the US Economy

While many contributors in MSM(mainstream media) and Substack authors may trivialize this comment there is a word to wise Don’t shuss away comments about the global economy You do so at your own financial peril To painfully watch the daily Orange Cheeto’s destruction of the federal government distracts us from a much graver issue at hand The US economy and its relevance in the world as its reserve currency is coming to an end with an ensuing debt crisis Failure to heed the flashing warning lights will lead to devastating consequences to investor’s portfolios globally

To see the reasoning behind such ominous warning lights see https://bit.ly/3Gk6Uhq As the boy scout motto says ”Be Prepared” Also see for video bit.ly/4cJACIT

I ran across something from Stephanie Ruhle, who knows a thing or two about Wall Street and all that. Seems very recently, a LARGE number of her informants from the within the camp of Masters Of The Universe are highly worried about.... Abrego Garcia and the implications for the Rule Of Law.

Thefuq? Why in the HELL would they care about anything except their top hats and monocles? Seems that the steel backbone of the American financial system (the bond debt) is based almost exclusively on TRUST for the US being a safe place to invest and stash your dough whilst thinking about investing. Erosion of Rule Of Law here can lead directly to international actors (public and private) thinking twice about such decisions.

It's causing a non-trivial amount of heartburn in the Manhattan gentlemen's clubs, it seems. Who knew?

Again the Masters of the Universe stepped over the literal and proverbial dollar to pick up a dime in their quest for tax cuts and deregulation. Now their utopian picture of glorious plutonomy is jeopardized by undermining the economy AND the rule of law as you've astutely notes. Who knew....except everyone with a functioning and living in reality....

Well, first, I'd a thunk those Heritage Foundation gazillionaires would also know this, but, in spite of their monetary wealth, they are so self-absorbed, they forgot how they got wealthy - using other people's money. Will they be surprised at the fact that TRUST is destroyed by Project2025 and that they will suffer along with the rest of the world. Maybe? ..... Nah.
