This is what's going on:
Peter Thiel, the tech bros, and Project 2025 are implementing their plans for a revolution.
1st stage: 180-Day Playbook
- Musk leads the Slash-and-Burn of the fed govt
- Trump plays at being a king
- Vance waits
Musk is a chaos maker and won't be in DC long.

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile?
Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.
The grift never ends.

The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.

Russia is very happy with its investment in Brexit. Its US investment is paying long-term dividends as we speak, and will continue to do so for a long time.
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

The Beast in Me is terrible television. The more one tries to analyze why it's so bad, the more it falls apart in your hands. It's fake and performance-y.
The only saving grace is Matthew Rhys, who gives as good a performance as possible with the material he has to work with.

I don’t place my hope in Congress because almost every rep and senator is owned by billionaires. There’s really no way that the ruling class is going to allow the will of the people to hold. Form your militias now. ICE is about to expand by more than tenfold.
