   There is no disputing that he has set off a series of events that are now plunging the world into not only the worst economy in decades, but the worse geopolitical instability in decades, as well. He could’ve reduced his exposure by actually ending the Ukraine war through pulling all material support once he entered office. That almost certainly would’ve forced Ukraine to the negotiating table well before now, and would’ve precluded most of their attacks on Russian energy infrastructure.

   Of course his decision to FAFO with Iran has been the far more damaging one, but at least he wouldn’t be facing two crises concurrently, if Ukraine had already been neutered. The compounding action of losing oil supply and production facilities in two major areas at once (the gulf states and Russia) is going to be the real driver of the massive economic damage that is now assured by high oil, diesel and gas prices.

   “Most likely President Trump won’t survive this crisis politically.” Maybe and maybe not. I noted at a recent rally some woman in the peanut gallery gave the Golden Golem a shout-out about the Epstein Files and was immediately dogpiled and slugged by the surrounding audience. If the entire crowd had stood up and started shouting as she did, then I would say this malignant narcissist is toast.
   There are still way too many clueless MAGA BOTS from sea to shining sea. With the Socialism-Abortion Party going all in for the DSA Marxists and the Muzzies, the average voter who has the brains and awareness of a ripe radish, will probably side with the Dead Elephant Party candidates. We will just have to wait and see. Stay tuned.

      It really is remarkable how remaining hard core trump supporters can excuse his flubbing the entire Epstein matter. When he took office, it seemed nearly everyone was on board with having it all out in the open. Then, sometime after sugartits Bondi did her little photo op with the fancy binders, it suddenly became acceptable to the chudleys to adopt the trump position that “there’s nothing there, you just need to let it go, or your an asshole”.

      It’s as if someone flipped a switch one day, and a whole contingent of people immediately did a 180° in their stance on the Epstein files. I have an acquaintance I used to discuss politics with regularly, as we were (I thought) on the same wavelength, so to speak. Then he became one of the apologists for ignoring the Epstein matter and moving on, because continuing to insist on a complete release of the files had somehow become stupid and crazy on my part. Needless to say, I no longer have reason to conduct such discussions with him. He also thinks Russia was unjustified in attacking Ukraine, and that we had to attack Iran so they wouldn’t get a nuke. Yes, he’s a political moron.

   The sad realization most of us here have come to is that the majority of the population in FUSA are pre-programmed NPCs and will probably never be anything more. I have found that people who have truly awoken their critical thinking skills were the type that were always a bit rebellious but smart enough to go appear to go along with The System when we had to. But on the inside we chafed at being ruled over by people we knew were unworthy of their position. And now we have one hand on the halyard ready to hoist the black flag, and one on our knife.
