I read the news to today oh boy....did I get all this straight?

Trump’s replacing the Founding Fathers on passports.
DOJ is negotiating another settlement with Michael Flynn.
Kid Rock addressed personnel IN the Pentagon and went for a ride in a $100M helicopter.
Comey is being indicted for a picture of seashells
We are going to pay $900 M to companies to stop building wind power operations.
Now WE will pay for the unneeded ballroom - no mention of what happens to existing donations.
Bullets just disappear.

On edit - the FCC is turning the screws on Disney to fire Kimmel.

What did I miss?

to assess and treat the uptick in in nausea to be expected due to so much exposure to that orange visage.



Buy stock in eye-masks now. Quick, before the Trump cronies corner the market!

And sell your shares of pharma companies with exposure to GLP-1s as sales will plummet when the Trump-likeness weight loss strategy makes GLP-1 drugs obsolete.

Funny about how all the things that have happened recently that have been so damn infuriating, it’s having his face on the passport that has put me over the edge… My god, I am desperately hoping somebody does something soon to stop him…(and Vance…and Johnson… and…)

to use them as proof of citizenship for voting. Also one of the ways they'll negate the use of REAL ID for proof of citizenship. I wondered how they were going to kill the necessity for a REAL ID to vote. I think I figured it out... That REAL ID just gave them all the more information to the databases they were building on all of us. That's all it's good for. Never was good for anything else, other than to stop women from voting... or proving their citizenship. Everyone was so gung-ho at the time... fooled just about everybody about the need for it after the Twin Towers fell. Deep down, I already knew it was a scam. When it took me multiples of $10 bills and a hell of a time to gather all the info from all the places I lived (not to mention the men I'd married), I knew it was nothing more than just one more plot against American Women.

It is all day, every day........It is like a DAILY tsunami shitstorm coming at us, from every direction.
We keep saying it is Trump did this, and Trump did that........We need to start saying the Republicans did this and that, because all of this shit is coming at us from the 2025 Crowd............ie Stephen Miller, Russel Vought, Thiel (sp?) etc etc etc.

Trump is just a front man or pawn.......No different that Reagan for HWBush's CABAL, or WBush for the Cheney/Rumsfeld CABAL

I have noticed more and more things being accidentally revealed.....that the 2025 boys are accomplishing from the shadows, hidden by smoke and mirrors....... And we probably only know one thousandth of what is going on, from behind the scenes....

Financially bankrupt.

Morally and ethically bankrupt.

No, not you personally - just the country as a whole.

'Et tu Brute?' Cried Julius Caesar, supposedly.

"On March 15 (the Ides of March), 44 BC, the historic Caesar was attacked by a group of senators, including Brutus, who was Caesar's friend and protégé."

When is that scene going to play out in the US?
