So where do we go from here?
Is this meeting with all the military brass just show and
show? Or something that gives Pete Hegseth’s ego an arousal and now he has to
share it with his boss?
Or is it worse as some fear? A complete capitulation of our
military to the most inconsistent tyrant on the planet. Well he is consistent
about greed and hate, but what exactly is he looking for in trying to take over
this country? Millions of conspiracies out there, yet is any of it true. I fear
some of his minions aren’t minions and they have definite plans.
Something will happen today, but what? Hopefully this just
turns out to be a very large nothing burger, but that is nowhere guaranteed.
And oh, by the way the government may shut down tonight. Another
nothing burger or more in the disaster Trump is leading this country? Or more opportunity
to further destroy our country our constitution, our values and us? Again, the
most inconsistent tyrant running.
Have you noticed the plethora of podcasts coming from a
variety of left wing podcasters espousing all sorts of Trump is bad verbiage?
There are quite a few now, all begging for subscribers wanting to get to so
many hundreds of thousands or even a million and to hit that like button. And
all saying more or less the same thing; Trump is bad, Trump does bad stuff, we
need to get rid of Trump. Yet do they even have a clue what happens next?
Tons of perceived scandal after perceived scandal, quoting
the mainstream news, screaming they have the receipts filling our streaming
channels and wherever else we get our podcasts with massive hyperbole that Trump
has to go. Well he does, yet do they even know what they want afterwards. Are
they still thinking America will buy whatever drivel the national democratic
party will cook up or really rehash?
Our government is about to shut down for the umpteenth time
in the last fifteen years because the duopoly is failing us. And the Democrats
keep thinking they have an answer for our future. No they don’t. They have a
word salad of pandering comments and a paragraph of public policy. Don’t
believe me or better do not want to believe me, just go back and look at their
campaign promises for the last four elections. They say the same thing, we are
here to protect you from the boogeyman Republicans, we need to have universal
healthcare (affordable, how?), we need to raise the minimum wage (cause we are
fighting the wealth gap?) we need to fix social security (saying for years, but
no concrete idea on how and I have put more ideas in a couple of previous posts
then they have in forty years) and a couple of other items. And for some reason
they think this will win votes.
The failure to enact any of these promises has been bleeding
votes away from them since Obama. Unfortunately because we are stuck with the
duopoly it sent those votes gift wrapped to Trump. Even when they do well, they
cannot get out of their own with way how they present themselves. The people
they needed to win the 2024 election had no idea that post covid inflationary
was transitory so when they started bringing it down they failed to communicate
exactly how things were working. They spent so much time telling us how bad is
Trump that they didn’t communicate well how the economy works. And so Trump in his
one talent (bragging) convinced millions he knew what to do. And because the
duopoly has failed us for so long it didn’t take much for Trump to do this
because Americans have been wanting for someone to tell us the answers for a
long time. Everything they heard from Democrats and Republicans has never come
to fruition except tax breaks and for some god awful reason, too many of the
middle class think tax breaks for business are good for them without an iota of
proof except the economy hadn’t collapsed yet.
So if the midterms occur, will the Democrats finally learn
they need to move forward, get creative and present new leadership? Or will we
even have midterms? Or will we be stuck with the same self serving aggrandizement
in 2026 and instead of Trump destroying this country, democracy dies the death
of a thousand cuts and it looks like we have had about 500 so far.
Or will by some wild chance or the grace of God, people realize
we need new leadership, new ideas and elect either a revamped current party or
new parties emerge that actually think about and enact public policy for the
vast majority of this country and the United States continues to thrive.
And for those few remaining country club Republicans who don’t
support Trump and who think we must put business first, sorry to say, but nope.
A thriving working and middle class will do better for business than tax breaks
and wealth hoarding. It is time to conserve our values and our people, not our
mindsets.
It is just about 8:30 central time. What will the next 24
hours bring us? Let’s hope tyranny isn’t smiling by then.
No cheers today
And I haven't watched or heard the news yet today so this
could be moot or too late. lol
