1) There’s two words the US government overuses that are meaningless. The first is “accountability” and the variations “accountable” and “account”. In fact, NO politicians are held accountable for their actions. And what does it even mean anyway? Absolutely nothing. Next⬇️
2) Next is “transparency” and “transparent”. How are lies considered transparency? A glass of urine is technically transparent, but that doesn’t make it good. What, is it that this administration engages in corruption openly? That’s transparency? And⬇️
3) You hear people like Speaker Johnson doing this: “We’re going to hold people accountable…” Except Trump. Other Trump toadies, “We’re the most transparent administration in history.” That’s an interesting way of saying “this administration does not hide its corruption”. And⬇️
4) Now, Trump didn’t begin this process. He exploited it. He is using the tools that very cunning, crafty people discovered in the government. The problem is the political system itself. The inherent dangers were ignored. Politicians craved power above all else. And⬇️
5) If you think the US government was inherently good, look this up: why was strontium 90 found in children’s teeth? Go ahead. Look it up. But let me warn you: You can’t unsee it or unknow it.

1) People like Charlie Kirk don’t just happen. Causes and conditions leads up to them. They’re not born this way. They come into contact with and accept a toxic ideology that then creates in them a worldview based on mistaken perceptions about the world around them. And also⬇️
2) For decades now, this toxic ideology has been spread by the GOP due to their anger, resentments, jealousies, greed, selfishness, hatred, but most of all: their thirst for ultimate power. They divide and conquer by stoking hatred and division amongst the population. And⬇️
3) Know this: It is not Charlie Kirk or people like him that are the problem here. The problem is the poisonous ideology that has infected the political system and creates people who say things like they do. They are merely repeating what the ideology has been saying for years.⬇️
1) Some people wonder: Why is America like this?! It is because a significant percentage of the population cling stubbornly to ridiculous perceptions of the world. So their judgment upon things is arbitrary and therefore stupid. They simply do not wish to learn anything.
And⬇️
2) Some GOP clodhopper in Arkansas cannot find Delaware on a map, but he thinks himself an expert on foreign policy. Which, by the way, is colored by his xenophobic biases about the world. He votes for a man like him. And then he whines because China will not buy his soybeans.⬇️
3) We have had imbeciles here who have actually held up signs that said: “Keep government out of my Medicare!” And why? Because they were protesting against what they called “government run health care.” Yes, and this is what you see throughout the red states. And⬇️
1) There are three things that will end up wrecking the Trump administration. These are: 1) Things beyond their competency level. 2) Things beyond their control. 3) Things unexpected.
All three of these three things are also interconnected. So let’s begin⬇️
2) Things beyond their competency level: This includes what to do as inflation rises, how to manage crises and major disasters, and, more to the point, the running of the federal government over the next 3 years with incompetent personnel. This will start their fall.
Next⬇️
3) Things beyond their control: This includes also major natural disasters, the actions of foreign governments, and reactions of foreign governments to their actions. Also, the unforeseen consequences of their own actions, and widespread disapproval of the citizenry.

1) Let me point this out: We’re sitting on a powderkeg right now. World War One and the aftermath led to an agricultural boom for American exports of wheat. So they went and tore up huge swathes of grasslands to plant wheat and make money fast. But then what happened next⬇️
2) Towards the end of the 1920s, the bottom dropped out of the export market for American wheat. So, to make money off lowering price-per-bushel wheat, the farmers tore up even more grassland to plant more wheat. But the price kept dropping. And so next⬇️
3) Farmers went broke and abandoned their farms. Vast areas of land went fallow with nothing to hold the soil down. Then the weather changed. A long drought followed by extreme winds. Now began the Dust Bowl. Right along with the Great Depression. So right now⬇️
1) So Ukraine couldn’t even get these when they desperately needed them. Now any country with enough cash can get them. See that company Anduril? I saw a segment about them on 60 Minutes and the founder struck me as a fucking lunatic. Literally a Dr. Strangelove. And also⬇️
2) Well, imagine that. Connections to Palantir. Now about the founder next⬇️
3) Huh. Imagine that. He also backed Trump going back to the beginning. But wait’ll you see what’s next⬇️
1) This is where we are right now. We have been here for some time now. And we’re heading into a far worse dysfunctional government. Now, a myth exists that says the US government cannot fail because it won’t be allowed to fail. This is simply not true. Let’s begin⬇️
2) Distrust of the Trump government will rapidly increase exponentially month by month as his incompetence creates catastrophic consequences. Polarization and gridlock is a GOP skill set for decades now. Corruption in the Trump government is blatant and obvious. And also⬇️
3) Trump has created his own type of bureaucracy via executive orders. DOGE, for example. And they don’t simply degrade public services, they cut them or defund them. Let’s continue⬇️
