The Democratic royal families have abdicated. They are just going to sit out the coup. 

It’s the sacrifice they must make so that the richest people in the country won’t have to undergo the terrible ordeal of not making even more billions.

Fox Propaganda has, since its inception, weaponized Americans against self-governance and against their own survival; we’re about to see how far they can muster their faithful’s self-annihilation. 

I know, they’re Democrats, so you would expect the same scattershot evasions and defensiveness. Instead they are getting down to brass tacks and exposing structural components: getting explicit about the fact that Trump wants to rule America, not govern it.  

that he was illegally flogging on White House grounds, he instantly tried to disguise his infirmity by asking, “Do you think Biden could get into that car?” I mean, just the cheapest, most obvious type of bluff and deflection.

Yes, of course Biden could get in and out of the Tesla, and with much more ease than Trump. 

But we must never forget how the corporate media, no outlet more brazenly than The New York Times, worked as strategic partners to Trump by obliterating recognition of Trump’s physical and mental decline and instead shifting to endless speculation on Biden’s. With the catastrophic results America is now experiencing.

Lara Trump says that Americans should be kissing Trump’s feet; well, Jeff Bezos is already doing that, now featuring reruns of Triumph of Tack The Apprentice on Amazon Prime.

Don’t shop Amazon unless you have to!

No, you venal, ethicless fraud, it’s not immigrants who are making housing costs unsustainable–it’s your sugar daddy Peter Thiel and all your hedge fund buddies.

Rep. DeLauro, now one of the de facto leaders of the Democratic party, issues a statement immediately:

“I strongly oppose this full-year continuing resolution, which is a power grab for the White House and further allows unchecked billionaire Elon Musk and President Trump to steal from the American people. By essentially closing the book on negotiations for full-year funding bills that help the middle class and protect our national security, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have handed their power to an unelected billionaire.

“Elon Musk and President Trump are stealing from the middle class, seniors, veterans, working people, small businesses, and farms to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations. They have made it harder for Americans to get their Social Security benefits; shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which has saved American families $21 billion; fired 6,000 veterans and reportedly plan to make it harder for veterans to access benefits by firing an additional 80,000 VA employees; laid off hundreds of workers who build and maintain critical nuclear weapons; and shut down medical research labs. House Republicans’ response: hand a blank check to Elon Musk.”

He is shutting down their future.

And yet the fossilized Democratic establishment thwarted his two presidential runs. They then ran Kamala’s campaign as a reprise of the one that got Trump into the White House the first time. They wanted to prove that the strategies they used to elect Obama could somehow continue to work.   Axelrod, Plouffe, et. al. scored wins for Obama that eventually came at a huge price to the Democratic party, which was in tatters by the time Obama left. Furthermore, the policies they advised Obama to adopt led directly to the rise of fascism here. But the Democratic establishment would apparently prefer the Dems keep losing rather than examining any of their terminally flawed assumptions about how to govern and how to win elections.

(remind you of someone?)

Most particularly,Musk’s smoke-and-mirrors incarnation as a visionary genius. Only populations as credulous as our corporate media, our international investment community, and our nation of star-worshipping groupies could have taken that one seriously.
