7. The Shit Just Keeps Raining Down
The thing that boggles me more than any of the many boggling things my federal government is doin these days: people continuing to think there’s anything This Guy—and the cabal behind his rise and return to office—WON’T do.
People shrug aside everything he declares he wants to do—insist he won’t actually do it, declare he doesn’t mean it literally, accuse people of misinterpreting what he says, and at the last, laugh and say he’s only joking—when everything in his extensive record indicates AND HIS GREAT APPEAL TO HIS VOTERS IS that he always says and does exactly what he means.
He plans to forcibly colonize Greenland.
He wants to take the Canal away from Panama.
He dreams of annexing Canada, ffs.
He talks about taking Gaza away from both Israel AND Palestine & turning it into his own personal playground a golf resort.
He wants to “punish” Iran. (Why? I dunno? Because it’s been a US bogeyman since the 70’s? Because Russia told him it was evil? Because his Saudi allies want it destabilized or wiped out? All of the above?)
All that is on top of insisting the US back the wrong side of history in the fight for the Ukraine because he failed to commit crimes against its government in his first term.
The biggest military in the history of humanity has already begun staging troops and supplies for these conflicts. He’s not interested in making the government smaller, just the parts of government he doesn’t care about. ( You know, the people parts.) He’s INCRASING the Pentagon budget while removing oversight & constraints.
That is all public record stuff.
So if nothing changes fast, sons and daughters of liberty are going to end up fighting and dying on multiple fronts when El Presidente Cheetoface plunges the US right into a multi-front fucking land war in Asia.
And we all know from The Princess Bride how well that turns out for everyone involved.
