From today’s Letter from an American:

For decades now, Republicans have been able to keep class tensions at bay by hammering constantly on culture wars, and they appear to be trying that again to smooth over the fight between MAGA and the billionaires. But it is possible that the rumbling anger that flashed to the surface over the killing of an insurance CEO will reinforce the MAGA wing and keep class, rather than culture, uppermost.

If Trump does not bring down prices, as he promised and now has downplayed, if he imposes tariffs that will force poorer and middle-class Americans to pay for the tax cuts he has promised to the wealthy and corporations, if Republicans cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to balance the budget; all while Musk continues to pull down billions of dollars in taxpayer money, the rhetorical formula that worked for so long might finally break.

  1. The GOP doesn’t want to govern, because passing laws doesn’t get you elected anymore
  2. MTG has an IMDB page that lists her at 5’3" which is slightly disappointing
  3. The car stat is interesting, but is that because of cars or because people outside walkable areas are listening to rightwing programming non-stop and in a state of rage 24/7

If it can be explained to the cult members, that is.

And then those loathsome beings wanted a 40% pay raise just for, you know, being there. Thankfully, due to their malice, vanity, arrogance and, most of all, stupidity, they failed to get it.

Are there enough Dems who are willing to fight or are they silenced by the political correct left of lefters.

For all I can gather, this guys loved Trump and Tesla so much that he decided to off himself in a Cybertruck front of a Trump building , and then set off fireworks to celebrate it…

I don’t think I’m minimizing it. He didn’t seem tp have a problem shooting at Muslims when he was deployed. Obviously something changed that made him more vulnerable to radicalization.

Public square? Yes. Guillotine? No. But a Trebutine®? Absolutely.

A guillotine is so passé. A Trebutine®, however, delightfully “Combines the brutality of a beheading with the spectacle of a pumpkin toss™.”

Seriously, How could we go wrong?

They’re silenced by their own lack of imagination and courage. I’m certain the far left would be up for a fight, but it’s the decrepit institutionalists who cannot imagine their precious institutions being torn down or weaponized. So instead of fighting the enemy they’re facing, they fight any change of any kind so everything stays frozen in amber. They’re fucking fossils and they need to go. Every last fucking one of them, in government and out, from Schumer and the Clintons to Garland and all the other tired old ewak Dems.

That global temperature spiral is depressing. I’ll age out before the worst comes. I encourage my grandchildren to take an interest in learning to grow things, have a basic knowledge of solar power and electricity, mechanics, physical sciences, how to build things, basic healthcare.
