Created this account to express political views. Student of Philosophy & History, lover of Liberty & Democracy, & fearful for America’s future. On Mastadon & Threads as well, as I move away from eX. American expat living in London.

Anyone else anticipating TACO will soon try to rename a celestial body? Obviously choice is Uranus & of all the things he’s trying to rebrand, I’m least annoyed by the idea Trumpsanus.

For those who want to see ppl in this regime, such as Cabinet members, fired, I pose this question: Can you cite any occasion during this regime, or the first term, where a person who was fired was replaced by someone more competent?

So, just to highlight the absurdity of MAGA senators. They will vote to confirm a person who is actively violating a law they passed as he’s still withholding Epstein documents that by law he’s required to release. Did anyone even bother to ask him about this?

Americans need to wake the fuck up. I see too many ppl use terms like “wannabe dictator,” & “he’s not allowed to do that.” He’s a dictator & a far worse tyrant that King George III ever was. Tyrants don’t follow the rule of law, it’s a job requirement. The state of denial is painful to behold.

Had a somewhat dark thought. If the president is indeed terminal, & if he’s accepted that (that’s a big if), he might orchestrate his death to become a martyr. Him dying hooked up to machines in a hospital doesn’t help him politically or make him look strong; however, a staged assassination might.

If we imposed a 98% wealth tax on trillionaires, & Elon Musk was forced to hand over 98% of his wealth in taxes, he’d be as poor as Rupert Murdoch with $20 Billion & drop to being only the 75th richest person in the world…

TACO claims Iran is losing “four to five hundred million dollars a day,” b/c of the Strait being closed. American use 360-370 Million gallons of gas daily, which has gone up by $1.40 to $1.50 since the start of the war, meaning the Americans are losing between $504 to $629 Million a day.
