Thought:
Appears rate of cost acceleration is directly proportional to the rise in US debt.
“$350,000,000”

And surely all those *investors* will get itemized receipts to make sure he didn’t just pocket most of it too right?

No wonder taxpayers aren’t paying — less transparency/criming this way
Performance of a team is based on who you hire for it.

Stated before. Historic parallel to NAZI Germany:

When NAZI Germany recruited for the SS and SA it specifically recruited the uneducated and unemployed. Bitter rejected people, not smart, easy to indoctrinate and ready to rough up others.

"nearly half..." ???

it's an open book test.

Civil society gone. American dystopia in 2025.

ICE = SA/SS of Germany's 1930s.
Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino personally participated in an ICE raid at a laundromat in the city. However, the owner locked the doors and refused entry, which halted the operation at the site.

Thought:
It feels as if #Canada has more in common with Europe than with the US these days. This should be reflected in economic priorities and partnerships.

Doing it "just" like any other administration would not have the showman effect for a depraved following.

And human rights violations are game with the current administration hence the exit out of the UN Human rights council.
Thought:
Sad consequences of a "drill drill drill" economy & budget.

Prosecuted and criminally sentenced Austrian politician Jenewein becomes press speaker of German #AfD in Thuringia:

Apparently, a thing with thugs running #AfD and #MAGA administrations in Germany and US respectively.
In Österreich ging wohl nichts mehr nach Verurteilung wegen Verstoßes gegen das Waffengesetz und Amtsmissbrauchs zu einer bedingten Haftstrafe von zwölf Monaten und Austritt aus der FPÖ?

Seit Monatsanfang ist Jörg Jenewein neuer Pressesprecher von Höckes AfD-Fraktion in Thüringen.

George Soros paying protesters is like Elon Musk paying voters, except the Elon Musk payments are real.
Thought:

Musk has personally taken credit for having installed this administration with his money. He is a depraved oligarch who has set America on a trajectory for its own demise.
DOGE never was about efficiencies.
Thought:

Revisionist history is a hallmark of fascist regimes. Applies to personal history as well.

Thoughts on fastest acceleration of US debt (outside of Covid):

Utter failure of Trump and Musk. And, as usual, broken election promises, as part of the usual fodder for the MAGA cult.

Confirmed that #DOGE was never about saving money.
BREAKING
US public debt has hit record $37.9 TRILLION.

Federal debt has now surged +$1.7 TRILLION since the debt ceiling was raised in July, rising over $425 billion every month.
Thought:

Looks like Billy got caught up in a cult.

When Billy is ready, cult hotlines are available in most US States.
Thought:

With Swedish construction equipment. So much MAGA going on here.
And really, this is all Trump cares about.. his stupid ballroom.

Chain saw boys club taking care of each other. Milei's economic approach has failed, buddy trump bails him out. Paid for with US Tax dollars. MAGA.

The $20B will not save #Argentina btw.
Answer:
Thinking that the constitution guides anything in the US in 2025 is... naive.
Thought:

The world's impression of Trump. Captured in one picture.
The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.
History mostly is ugly. Actually, horribly ugly up to the Enlightenment. After the Enlightenment just ugly. The US was founded during Enlightenment so one would think.... I may have to revise my thinking... Moved on top of my list now. You made me curious.
If MAGA would believe in God they would heed the messages of Pope Leo.

Fact:
Christian Nationalism has nothing to do with Christianity. Their fake Christianity is camouflage to hide their depravity.
Thought:

No shit Sherlock. The whole world wonders what's going on in the US judicative. And the whole world knows that SCOTUS is compromised. Which means democracy in the US is on the brink of falling.
A panel of federal appeals court judges appeared skeptical of Trump’s use of unconventional methods to install loyalists as top prosecutors without Senate confirmation.
Appeals court panel appears skeptical of Trump admin’s maneuvers to keep Alina Habba in place
The panel of judges seemed to question the administration’s moves during more than an hour of oral arguments.
