"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Earlier this year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

As I have said before, it feels like an anomaly of history that MO’s governance hasn’t been more of a disaster prior to ’16. Since then, however, it feels increasingly like the red state party dictatorship has allowed the crazies to take the helm and they’re rapidly chewing through the walls.
My god…they just took 50 million from the general budget for vouchers going to private religious schools.
Now, another 100 million?

But it isn’t just Trump’s approval ratings that are taking a heavy hit these days. WSJ reports that stocks tied to the president & his family, including $MELANIA and $TRUMP, “meme coins” launched just days before Trump returned to office in January, have plummeted by as much as 86 and 99 percent.

The thing about laws and legality is once you reach the tipping point, the fascists rewrite the laws. The Holocaust was strictly legal under German law.
similarly "torturing prisoners" is the kind of thing that you'd assume is an illegal order...except these freaks made sure to create a legal justification for it. not illegal now!
"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them
