Well, that escalated quickly.
The worst days of doge are likely done, but some of those fascist bootlickers are still rummaging through sensitive materials. The leader of the so-called free world is a russian agent, after all. But his bromance with elon musk turned to a pejorative-flying shit show like a 3rd grade fight after school behind the 7-11. So be it.
It was just a matter of time. Get two sociopaths eyeing the same ‘fixed pie’ of power and money and they were bound and determined to destroy each other.
potus is still pitching his ‘deals’ for tariffs and whatever.
elon is about to start burning up the inelegantly designed starlink satellite system into the atmosphere, but ain’t nobody got time for two mad kings.
Fuck them both.
Economists are nearly universal in their opinion that the tariff gambit has undermined the convention that the U.S. greenback such that it’s no longer the world’s reserve currency. That’s the bad news.
The good news is the world’s richest man and the formerly most powerful office in the world are fighting each other like two fat manatees over a single rotting fish.
At his ‘resignation’ elon showed up with a black eye, blaming it on one of his progeny (allegedly aged five).
It almost gives me hope for the next generation.
Here’s a kid being raised without a mother who still has the common sense to punch a nazi.
Keep up the good work, boys. Happy National Schadenfreude Day to those who celebrate.

potus is on an despotic aspirational land grab of epic proportions. It’s as if the man only knows one industry, real estate, and misses being in his (relative) intellectual ‘wheelhouse’ so much that he doesn’t know how to stop viewing people as property.
I honestly don’t know if it started with Greenland or Panama.
Denmark’s claim on the landmass on the eastern shores of Canada may be specious, but it’s part of the NATO alliance since WWII ended. Thus, if anyone were to attack this ally, that would represent an attack on NATO as a whole. Still potus wanted to annex Greenland instead of working with them to bolster our defensive position on the global geopolitical stage.
The Panama Canal belongs to Panama. Just because American lives and resources were put into building it over 120 years ago, the United States has no claim to it. Whatever good faith that had granted the U.S. most favored nation status through the lochs is now pissed away.
Then came trade war declarations against allies Mexico and Canada for the purpose of market manipulation to enrich themselves at the expense of anyone in the market who wasn’t privy to the inside information that they were generally just fucking around to make money for themselves, daytrading Greenbacks and wrenching up the levers of our economy at the expense of the full faith and credit of the United States. Calling it fraud is too simply put, since it involved racketeering. High crimes and misdemeanors a tad too trite to describe what has happened.
The fledgling faction criming against the United States who currently operate as ‘doge’ with the criminal enterprise known as the current administration would be committing an act of war on the United States. This doge splinter group is already committing crimes openly on American soil by doxxing minorities and accusing genuine and bona fide leaders of the diversity movement using the slur ‘DEI hires’ and just generally being racist pieces of shit; and just going about their treasonous selves enacting acts of sedition in conflict with Congress’ Article I powers. When they’re actively perpetrating felonious acts against the State, the attacks have had the intended impact. musk, potus and doge have extended early retirement buyouts of FBI & CIA personnel, essentially committing Treason in broad daylight.
Meanwhile, Democratic members of Congress FINALLY got around to filibustering the new administration’s cabinet nominees Wednesday when the oncoming weekend promised they wouldn’t have to talk too long. Perhaps this is what might buy enough time to save feckless Congressional leadership to save what vestiges are left of this Constitutional Democratic Republic.
One of the principle tenets of economics is property rights.
When nazi germany invaded the Sudetenland and invaded Poland, they opened the gates of World War II. Yet potus is now declaring the ongoing conflict in Palestine with Israel his own, personal land grab of the Gaza Strip.
It’s embarrassing to the U.S. as a country, but mostly it’s despotic and turning the whole of the world’s political magnetic poles in reverse, repelling our close allies, creating conflict within and benchmarking the 3rd reich for the umpteenth time in his life. potus needs to resign and doge will be prosecuted for their acts in defiance of Congress’ powers guaranteed under Article I.
Just try to find a law and order man when every FBI and CIA official is on his veritable chopping block. You may ask where the supreme court is on all this. They’re bought and paid for.

A feigned, “abrupt” reversal of Trade War declaration against our closest allies had the intended effect. It threw up a smokescreen for a coup d’etat of the American political and financial systems.
Daytraders who weren’t clued in on the financial crime lost their shirts. But fuck them. They’re just patsies. Your democracy is GONE.
It’s easy to make money if the levers of an economics system are rigged. It’s house money… or is it? potus and doge are daytrading with the American dollar and the full faith and credit of the United States. It’s fairly obvious market manipulation. And when a sucker is born every minute, and the office of the U.S. president can be bought out for just under a dollar per citizen, why not? Because it’s high crimes and misdemeanors. The Great Granddaddy of all agency problems.
elon musk stole your personal information, your data, your identity & held it hostage as potus threw up a smokescreen — a veritable eephus pitch by declaring, then rescinding, trade wars. elon bought the option to market manipulate for $300 million contributed to potus’ election fund.
All it took was a bet on volatility. A few switches thrown at once. Primates on computers clicking reactionary buttons to reverse their fortunes.
It would be funny, and you might be laughing to the bank, if it weren’t your own future being auctioned off. Unless you were in on the joke of course, and that’s why the records of trading today will show the receipts: insiders trading on their own accounts.
It’s deceitful, but fairly obvious play for money. Remember, this thing drives their EVERY move. Your country’s word doesn’t mean anything to them. They just default on their own debt time and again.
If the bond market goes up and the stock market goes down, you just had to be in on the inside information, clued into the notion the U.S. wasn’t going to go to economic war with our allies.
From potus and musk’s position, if you place a bet on just volatility and act like a deranged lunatic with everyone else’s money, you get paid. The VIX index went up over 13.33% in a single day. That's not even taking sides, just knowing that they were about to act afool in just a casual sedition.
So if you fall for it again in a month or 3 Scaramucci’s or whatever the criminal-in-chief is saying… it’s on you. It’s a shell game with the American people’s money.
All it took was high treason.

The recently enacted tariffs on close allies Canada & Mexico, as well as geopolitical threat china are going to cost the American consumer more. You. That’s not a hypothetical. That’s not a disembodied “you”… That’s “yourself” in the immediate sense.
It’s going to come straight out of your pocketbooks. If you have any stacks to rely on, they are now flowing like the water worthlessly emptied from the California’s Central Valley reservoirs at potus’ order. The state responsible for producing the greatest amount of crops in the Union will now be attempting to grow crops out of the maoist tradition of keeping up appearances... just without water.
The administration is playing russian roulette with the American economy. The ongoing takeover of the Treasury Department’s payment mechanism by elon musk’s doge coup is unprecedented and highly illegal, but maybe not for the most starkly visible reasons.
The motivation behind oligarchs in the United States is always disarmingly simple. They are negative externalities — cold-blooded agency problems personified, mobilized to monopolize capital at the expense of the common good.
Now, at the highest levels of government, they are robbing the full faith and credit of the United States to line their own coffers. By betting on volatility in the bond market, they can turn America’s word into a junk bond. It may be a boon to the short-term growth of certain targeted & closely-held stocks, but the already poor and destitute —the average American — will be eviscerated.
But maybe that’s the point. At this juncture, it's more a feature than a byproduct of a failed governance by self-import: the time-worn tactic that has decimated societies going back to the beginning of time.
potus fired the head of the FAA, put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers, disbanded several key parts of the air safety architecture and offered buyouts to air traffic safety personnel. Then a plane crashed. It’s almost as if we live in a world where causation exists and there are consequences for actions. That would appear to be the case for some people. Interesting as the guilty conscience may be, causality can’t be reversed by an executive order.
Making twitter the sole media outlet the NTSB is forced to use after a national tragedy such as a plane crash? The leader of doge is literally monetizing tragedy caused by the administration’s proven ineptitude.
Meanwhile, as doge destroys government data at a rapidly-unfolding pace to enable revisionist history, we’re no longer witnessing the book burnings of the past. Instead, a potentially more nefarious attempt to rewrite history contemporaneously.
Are you ‘woke’? Woke in the pejorative sense of the word popularized by the whitewashing, uneducated lot? Now would be a good time to be woke.
There’s a madman at the wheel, after all.
