I always thought Air Force One needed security to prevent terrorists from taking the president hostage and forcing them to release more terrorists. But, our current president already lets a bunch of terrorists go like the Taliban and Jan Sixers.

Then the rest of us get the "free market" treatment.

Yeah we need to start taxing these rich grifters.

For sure. I found it impressive they learned nothing from Vietnam and went right ahead with Afghanistan and Iraq. I guess at least with the next war we'll get Gaza Resort by Trump.

It is more about how policies were set at the national level. Those policies have benefited them throughout their lifetimes. Boomers going to college. College is affordable. Boomers buying house make family. House good and affordable on one wage. Boomers working hard providing for wife and 2.5 kiddos. Jobs pay good and has pension. Family affordable one wage. Boomers retiring???

Things don't work that way. It is much easier to tear something down. This election was about the old neoliberals vs. populist MAGA. There was no one playing for the progressives or democratic socialism on that field.

Now Trump and his ilk might fuck their little coup up and end up losing power in the midterms, but it'll probably be back in the direction of rule of law neoliberal politics. If you want to see your voice being heard first you need someone that will listen. If you believe in human rights and basic equality Trump and MAGA aren't it. Elon Musk will not be listening to you and doesn't give a shit about regular folks. Those tech bros are happy that opiates are available to occupy the unemployed useless masses.

Cause they ran their own empires in a previous time. They all still fuck around in their old colonies shit too.

I heard the DOGE crew threatened to call the US Marshals if they weren't given access.

What we need is labor to group together and start buying their own courts and judges.

I'm not an expert, but stuff won't change until the domesticated middle class start feeling the pain. So go out and raise the price of eggs and push up the cost of insurance.

Last time during the housing bubble a shit ton of people got kicked out of their houses and faced decades long financial setbacks. Well the good folks got together and bailed out the banks and institutions while fucking over the home owners. Just basic gamblers logic tells me one of these disasters will have to result in a bailout for the peasants.

This has been the Republican game since Reagan. Massive transfers of wealth from the public to the private. Then the little GOP voters scamper around and wonder why stuff is falling apart.

Or just give the farm to the workers and have them run it as a coop.
