19. *Adjusts tinfoil hat* Well, Thiel has all of our data now via Elmo/SCOTUS

and Vance was Thiel's financial VP pick (Senate too).

Leonard Leo was just called out (his ego has to be in flames right now) and Secretaries and their deputies are being fired for suggesting to Congress that maybe their departments shouldn't be eliminated... Small business are in limbo and big money is freaking out because of all of the uncertainty... Our (former) allies wouldn't share intelligence with us on a dare due to the clown show running intelligence... The game Putin is playing with Trump is beyond hilarious - even funnier that Trump truly doesn't see it - but Congress does, and all but a handful are no doubt desperately seeking an off ramp.

The speed at which the man-child has threatened/extorted/pissed-off shitloads of allies and torpedo'd our international reputation may not have been expected by the Project 2025 cabal, and SCOTUS handing over immediate unfettered (and unaccountable) access to our most sensitive and critical personal data this quickly most certainly wasn't.

If they feel like they are ahead of schedule, it may be time to build the case for the 25th before his next temper tantrum sets off WWIII.



Regardless, I just keep thinking Buckle Up.
