It's ALL revenge -- everything since he lost in 2020. [View all]

Stealing the classified documents, J/6, likely stealing the 2024 election, the tariffs, destroying the trust of our allies, destroying our international trade relations, destroying FEMA, decimating the CDC and other agencies, demolishing the White House, the vindictive prosecutions, the ICE raids, murdering foreign citizens in boats . . .

It's all revenge for being rejected in 2020, being impeached twice, the J/6 committee, being indicted and prosecuted. All his empty rhetoric and sweet talk about how wonderful it's all going to be is just the putrid sarcasm of a James Bond villain in a cheap suit.

It wouldn't surprise me if the demolished East Wing just sits there for years while he pockets the donations of his rich suck-ups. Soon he'll be starting wars.

The people who could stop him are all too craven to do anything. Congressional Republicans, the MAGA justices on the Supreme Court, his own cabinet. They are all chickenshit to the core, every last one of them, and so they just go along and keep their heads down.

And the whole world sits and watches, hoping we'll all wake up from this nightmare.

The only real hope we might have is massive demonstrations on a weekly basis and a general strike. We need to squeeze corporate balls so hard they start to sit up and notice. We need to make them more afraid of us than the freak show in the White House. We need to start talking loudly about the end of capitalism and a new beginning. Make them realize that they can either clean up their mess, or they'll be hoeing beans on the collective -- if they're lucky and we feel charitable.
