17. A lack of actionable, REAL change after November will be catastrophic.

Tue May 19, 2026, 05:28 PM

Tuesday

If this is allowed to go unchecked - without a MASSIVE GOP-ending wave result in November - it will necessitate armed actions against the illegitimate usurpers in charge and a violent overthrow of the existing system.

That which cannot be changed peacefully WILL be changed violently when there is no other option.

This release of Trump granting himself and his thieving fucking family permanent immunity from IRS investigations or prosecutions is the last straw. I am giddy with anticipation for him to fucking die and still plan an epic and public celebration of that blessed event - one that will make many people uncomfortable with the degree of frivolity it will inspire... but if he is now immunizing his fucking worthless thieving grifter family as well? Nope... THAT dog won't hunt. No fucking way will we live in a country of laws for all not named Trump and privileges for them alone. We do NOT have a royal family and if we DID, it would NEVER be those filthy fucking sewer rat thieves from Queens...
