Trump has blown up 20 boats! I remember when the first two or three were destroyed, and thinking about the people on the boats, including pilots and helpers who likely have nothing to do with narco-terrorism. Now far more killing has been done, from a distance, with no evidence presented.

He looks very cheerful and not at all someone who kills journalists. And let’s let him buy F35 jets! That won’t end poorly.

I like these words.
Starting with Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Brian Mulroney, governments and their courts began allowing business to reduce the strength of labour. Clever corporate lawyers have ensured their companies have weak regulations. I call it #WinnerTakeAllCapitalism. People lose.

There is mounting evidence that Trump is aging rapidly. He walks strangely, he claps without moving his left arm, and was put into an MRI recently.

Trump, Miller and Vought are definitely following an authoritarian playbook, which includes elements in the project 2025. Trump is known to have researched the rise of Hitler.
Here are some notes when I asked for parallel between Trump and other dictators.

Dems don’t have to be friends of MTG to encourage her or benefit from her actions. What we want is many MAGA voters to wake up to how much Trump is hurting them. It’s tough for them to admit Trump’s gone rogue but in a 2 party system it’s easy to want to believe political rhetoric which were lies.

Dictators inspire as much fear and doubt as possible, including using the military against civilians. The goal is to make law-abiding people afraid, so they stay home. People are also dissuaded from traveling unless necessary. It is all part of the control mechanisms of #authoritarianism.

Here is an angle you are missing: authoritarian leaders instill fear and reduce the ease of travel. They use military force to make people stay in their homes and not cause trouble. Plus, Trump despises everyone who is not rich and generally enjoys seeing people struggle. #ShittyPresident

Corporate lawyers figured out decades ago how to manipulate politicians and work around minimal regulations to ensure that almost all the prosperity flows to the rich and the corporations. So definitely there is very little opportunity for prosperity for anyone else.
