People say nobody becomes a billionaire without exploiting workers. Nobody becomes that powerful in Congress without breaking rules. Trump is a gangster. His people have dirt on him and probably most everyone. The Republican know when to call in the favors to get what they want. Chuck has no choice but to follow along. Maybe they will let him live he thinks. Maybe he hopes he can get away with what is maybe worse than we know or think he’s done.
It will be interesting to see how and when the future views the end of the US and democracy. It’s probably already happened. We just don’t see it that way.
Rules and laws don’t apply anymore. It’s all we got but it’s not enough. Sure all sides are playing along for now. But maga is doing what they want with minimal pushback. There is no real enforcement of these things they are told they can’t do. There are no consequences. While the takeover is slowed down by some of these losses, it sets the stage where most people are not caring or have given up. There is no real fight against this onslaught. Saying they can’t do this or do that means nothing at this point.
I see a few dozen people show up for a protest. It’s good, until they block traffic and then half the people showing support for the protest get mad and hate protesters. Lots of memes are out there. There is no organized defense. We are all going to suffer much more.
