USAID projects soft power. It has long been rumored to collect soft intelligence.
Apparently we has no need for soft intelligence.

Somebody should be taking bets on when the first wildcat strike breaks out. Or say ATCs call in sick in masse.

We should of course oppose the Trumpian GOP to the fullest extent. They have declared our friends, allies, and even us to be the enemy. It is both absurd and hostile. Peter Thiel seeks depopulation of the country, so chaos only helps (and he can always go to his glamhole bunker on South Island in New Zealand to wait out the Christian Apocalypse). It seems to be about kicking the beehive and generating maximum anger. Democrats have to stay calm, keep their wits and let this blow over. They may well commit criminal acts, but accountability will have to come later. This is something historical, we know that. It is quite stupid in appearance, but we don’t yet have a clear picture of what the ultimate plan is.

No, Josh. The overriding need is for Democrats to flip the table. Fuck ‘getting a seat’. fuck helping them get a budget passed. You stand up and you say ‘This is wrong and we will not have any part in it’ and you walk the fuck out.
No conditions. No help. They wanna pull this shit, fine, they get to own it. Democrats should take every opportunity to say ‘this is what Donald Trump promised. You wanted Trump, you got him. He’s going to break laws, he’s going to destroy your savings, he’s going to hurt Americans and tell you it’s ok because he and Elon are getting richer. SCOTUS is going to let him, and Congressional Republicans are tripping over themselves looking for ways to fellate this authoritarian, fascist bullshit. Well, we refuse to be part of their Reich. When they’re willing to do what’s right, hold this administration and Congressional leadership to account, and beg the American people for forgiveness, we’ll be ready to get shit working again. But we bailed them out after Dubya fucked around, and we bailed them out after Trump I fucked around. Third strike, assholes. Now you find out.’
No help. No conditions. No bullshit ‘seat at the table’ that lets the media blame Democrats for whatever happens. Democrats aren’t going to be able to stop anything from that seat, and everyone knows it. So make Trump and the MAGAts own the pain they’re gonna cause.

Again, he never wanted to actually do what the presidency requires – he just wanted to be president and have others kiss his ass and play golf and avoid jail time. And it’s working right now – the real president/dictator is Musk, with his henchmen hacking into all our information.
tfg is an AutoPen at best (h/t to either the Bulwark or someone at TPM, I’ve already forgotten where, but it’s a great metaphor).
I’ll be calling my rep (R) and senators (D/R) later today. Will report back if I actually get a response.

The Atlantic article said it took Hitler 53 days to dismantle the government. Musk will do it in less than one month.

China’s about to get the idea that the path has been cleared to take Taiwan…and that may be part of the back-room dealings.
