11. It is staggering...

... that we find ourselves at the mercy of a petulant child whose overinflated ego is so fragile, and his mindset so pitifully transactional, that he thinks it's perfectly reasonable to demand that a governor say nice things about him on Sunday morning blather shows in exchange for federal disaster assistance. And he's pushing the limits to see what he can get away with when he orders his goons to detain legal permanent residents who don't toe the approved political line, or who just have some tattoos, and threatens the funding of universities over his obscenely bigoted DEI edicts.
As distressing as his performative politics are, what's more distressing by several orders of magnitude is the undeniable fact that Trump is just the Court Jester, distracting attention away from what his REALLY evil puppeteers are up to. The Heritage Foundation is a domestic terrorist organization, and you'd better be watching those fuckers like a mouse trying to escape the talons of a hawk.
If you read the Project 2025 – only a little at a time, or your blood pressure will blow the top of your head off – you'll start to get an inkling of what absolute monsters these people really are. They all have more money than they could spend in 20 lifetimes, but they still want yours, and total dominion over your life while they're at it. And they are NEVER satisfied.
