    At this point any other leader would be better, but I won’t hold my breath for something positive to happen in American politics.

      I’m pretty sure this was the reason trump was puppeted to become president. Eventually his puppet masters were going to toss him out like all the other people they used.

      Nothing is going to fix America… What’s happening is bigger than America, it’s a quest for world conquest and it’s spreading.

      Nothing’s happening by mistake anymore. Americans are played, used and manipulated whether it’s street people, or businessmen and politicians.

        I never cease to be astonished by Trump’s… let’s call it “insatiable” stupidity. No amount of stupidity is enough for this guy. He’s always aiming for more.

        What’s his goal in becoming a dictator in the first place when he’s so old, sick, and basically on death’s doorstep?

          One wonders, hurting his detractors will be one main motive. To amass the largest fortune another, I think they are involved in a lot of under the table stuff.

          Money is the end with our rich, not a means to one.

            Of course he is. He knows that the moment he leaves office, the trials start up again, and he will receive no mercy from the courts or the citizenry this time around. He will serve the rest of his life in prison - if he is lucky.

            That’s one reason we know that he cheated in 2024, his life literally depended on it. We’re supposed to believe that with his life on the line, that’s the one time in his entire life that he would choose to NOT cheat? Be real, this is Donald Trump we’re talking about. He cheats with every breath. It is literally his default mode.

            And that’s why he can’t afford another election. In 2026, If the Dems take even a single congressional chamber, they will have investigative, subpoena, and prosecution powers, and they will investigate everything.

            And If the Dems win in 2028, then it’s all over for every MAGA. The next president will not let them off the hook like Biden did. The next one will go after all of them, HARD, and it will be the biggest political trial since Nuremburg.

            That’s why there won’t be any more elections. We have never suspended an election in America, not even during the Civil War. When he announces that the 2026 election is postponed because of riots in the streets, or some other cockamamie excuse, America is officially over, and we no longer have to obey ANY laws. It becomes a Robin Hood Economy, and we take it all back from the Sociopathic Oligarchs by any means necessary.

          Whitney Webbs talk seems like the truth. An intertwined mess of wealthy people, intelligence agency workers, and criminals working to manipulate the world. It seems to make the puzzle pieces fit.

          It’s like she says… A “meta cartel” is playing out the world. Like the global affairs of all these assholes seems to have connections.

          It’s like just entertaining America and its traditional politics and structure is naive… As if all that old style stuff isn’t even real or authentic anymore. …if it ever was…

          Here’s a shorter clip of her explanations. https://youtu.be/LeoEuw5g4Ug

      Yo, stop with the monkey paw shit. Check out what happened to Alberta, Canada when they ousted their rightwing nutjob premiere, and he was replaced with a righter wing nuttier nutjob.

      It can get worse.

        Yep, I mean a lot of us thought that the GOP was screwed for a generation after the bungling W. Bush did to the economy and the 9/11 response. Well we all know where that went.

        I mean, you’re not wrong but the way she got into office initially wasn’t exactly a shining beacon of democratic process…

        Although, in fairness, the province did reelect her after so perhaps they did want an even crazier flavour of nuts after all.

        A wise therapist once told me “never challenge worse”.

        Also, things will get worse before they get better worse.

      The only thing I expect of American politics now … is that they figure out even more stupid reasons to make things worse.
