This being good Friday the market is closed.  Good thing because the constitutional crisis heats up and loosing more than one % of your retirement savings in a day might be like a pinprick compared to the wound that is coming up next.  Monday will be bad.

Praise Jesus! Smart money has already bailed. Although there are those who can profit off just the volatility.Probably not many indivduals though, we are happy to get out on time and kick back and see what happens.

Quote from: K-DogTrump has managed to scare most people now, and the morons he has put in place for no reason other than that they are loyal to him are totally screwing up civilization as we know it.

Well, America anyway. And by extension can cause heartburn elsewhere, but as with all bad things (peak oil circa 1990, 1998, 2003, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, and currently 2018, BOE a couple times in the last decade, the 2008 recession) they mostly blow over in time. None of us have died from those chemtrails commercial airliners are distributing around the US population right?

Quote from: K-DogThe hammering to the economy by Trump is making all his popular madnesses now become not so popular.  People will be supporting Abrego not from the bottom of their hearts, but because their assets are vanishing.

Well those of us with assets should worry! Particularly if it housing based! Good thing American investors with half a brain are familiar with diversification.

Quote from: K-DogEnd the age of orange, and bring Abrego back.

Abrego being just the tip of the iceberg, I say we figure out what immigration in America SHOULD be (considering how obvious it is a majority of us apparently don't like it) and starting there. Abrego is just a test case tragedy, the real crime is the universal application of the kind of government malice that dropped him where he is, and while Orange is the American expression of it, the REAL problem is....Orange is the AMERICAN EXPRESSION of it.

Quote from: K-DogIt feels good to be part of the Diner today.  We have known about American Fascism for a long time here.

Well sure...we are quite a clever bunch of geriatrics. Might have gotten all the past world collapses wrong but once we get a decent fascist in charge we are golden! Although you could argue he is just a moron, and we survived with King George II for 8 years and we all got through it.

Quote from: K-DogToo long a 9-11 mentality has ruled the land.

Which one? Mike Ruppert's that it was all designed to hide the horrors of 2005 peak oil by destroying WTC7, or just nation building in countries that can't be rebuilt by us in general?

Attorney General Pam Bondi is accused of "serious professional misconduct" in a Florida Bar complaint, the Miami Herald reported Thursday.

Bondi's record as the head of the Justice Department is being slammed by close to 70 law professors, attorneys and former Florida Supreme Court justices via a Florida Bar ethics complaint filed Thursday, according to the Herald.

She covered up for Trump, and now that everything comes out dominoes may fall.


 









Trump will only fall when consequences come to his minions.

Trump is on the left, Elon is on the right.

Maybe the historical parallel is stretched—but I don't care. I'm having fun. And I'm not alone. Many see the eerie echoes between Trump's rise and 1930s Germany. The speed at which America is hurtling toward authoritarianism does rhyme with that dark decade.

Many are looking at the Trump's Nazi rhyme, I am not alone in this.  The speed at which America is careening towards tyranny does have a German 1930s' rhyme. 

Parallels are many.

But here's the thing: , it was not ever just Hitler.  Himmler was the cretin who engineered the 'final solution'.  Goering and Goebbels pushed their own twisted agendas. The Nazi inner circle was a rogues' gallery of sociopaths, all bankrolled by capitalists who enabled their madness.

This time around it is not just about Trump, like it should not ever be just about Hitler.  Trump has a new inner circle of sociopathic villains this second time around.  Things are moving fast.  Capitalists are financing every penny of this new madness.

Core Objectives

Trump's inner circle is centralizing power in the executive branch advancing a far-right agenda through four pillars.

A 920-page "Mandate for Leadership" to gut federal agencies.
A LinkedIn-style system to vet loyalists for key posts.
A training academy to indoctrinate appointees.
A 180-day plan to lock in radical executive actions.

So while everyone is distracted by the theater, democracy dies.  Replaced by fascist technique.  Democracy is being dismantled with bureaucratic precision.

A golden snake did away with the Epstein files.

QuoteWhat measures will Trump and his MAGA machine take to cement themselves in power by — in one way or another — nullifying the power of the people to remove them through the electoral process?

He's sexually assaulted women, stiffed workers, separated families, blown up alleged drug traffickers without offering a shred of evidence to support his allegations, and sicced his violent ICE goons on legal immigrants and protesters.

Too far over the line to go back.  Trump has always been over the line.  An entire life being a criminal poser, stretching the truth.  Now that Trump actually shows who he is --  His fascist death cycle will by necessity become a hurricane.

Before I can pat myself on the back for figuring that out, I must ponder, what's to figure out?

Nothing, the 2020 election was not stolen.  Stopping the steal was a total fantasy of facts.  Nothing more than a catchy slogan based in lies to justify Trump's January 6th bullshit.  His attempt to actually steal an election that was fair.  It is not a genius move to figure out Trump is going to do it again.  This leopard will change no spots.  Trump does not have the cognitive ability to do so.

The Handwriting on the Rubble

Trump's hide-the-wrecking-ball tactics won't stop with buildings.

The Rubicon is crossed.  Like a mad dog Trump will have to be physically restrained.

King or Tyrant in Waiting

Donald Trump dances while democracy burns.  Our modern day Nero is a total Zero.

To demolish the Bonwit Teller building to make way for Trump Tower, Trump hired a crew of 100-200 undocumented Polish immigrants . These workers, known as the "Polish brigade," were paid $4 to $6 per hour with no benefits, far below union wages, and often worked 12-hour days, seven days a week.


Donald's Demolition: Reckless Jackhammering of Artistic Heritage to Make Way for the First Trump Tower.


The First Trump Tower.

Donald Trump's use of mafia-connected concrete and labor for projects like Trump Tower did not save him money in the short term. In fact, he often paid inflated prices, but this was reportedly a strategic cost for non-financial benefits that ultimately helped his projects succeed.






So, Trump would never shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.  He would have it done for him.
