What’s more disturbing… why does DOGE have a Russian email account???

AND……

Whiskey Pete Hegseth has a Russian burner phone which he uses to communicate in secret with someone.

All because 77 million fucking morons were pissed at the price of eggs and didn't like Harris's laugh or whatever else the morons were "thinking." This nation is beyond saving. I'm all for my region just leaving. And I doubt seriously the yokels in Ohio, Wyoming or Arkansas would risk their lives keeping New England in the union. Time to leave.

The way they are going at Trans and Immigrent sex offenders and murderers. I think that played more important to Maga freaks then the economy.

What is relevant is where we go from here. Take the House in 2026, but the jackasses have a plan for that. Trumps latest EO's on voting are quite unconstitutional, stomp all over state's rights, but that doesn't matter. That's part of the plan. The EO's get slapped down by the judiciary, including SCOTUS. But when Dems win a bunch of House elections next year, particularly in Blue States, Donny will claim the wins were "fraudulent" because of "irregularities" his slapped down EO's addressed. He then pressures Johnson not to seat the new House members since they were "fraudulently" elected. Then we have full blown constitutional crises, not the slow burn one we have now.

Really, I think the whole Canada - 51st state and Greenland bits are smoke screens. The real play is to break up the country. Putin's fantasy to do to the US what he feels we did to his beloved Soviet Union. Funny thing is, at this point, I'm kind of down with leaving. Easy for me to say I guess. I live on the good side of the red / blue curtain. A lot of my fellow citizens don't and that breaks my heart. What a shit show we're in.

I think we’re already in the crisis stage. Has Trash ignored any court rulings lately? Not spent money as budgeted and allocated by the legislative branch? What was the SCOTUS case that lessened the rights of the executive branch to interpret new laws, allowing knowing experts to evolve the laws into articulate policies?

Unfortunately for me I’m a small blue dot inside a dripping red state.

Our company had a firewall developed by Kaspersky. The form owner had this installed cheap as shit. When the cyber insurance came in to do an audit prior to insuring our company. The tech who was check said
‘ Oh shit” now that I have been on your system I need a new laptop top why the hell do you have this Russian spy wear on your server? $65k later and every device that ever was allowed to vpn in was replaced. We had international costumers who were notified and not happy. Not sure how government deals daily with the cyber attacks. I now know our system is safe. We will fire let go of anyone who plugs a thumb drive into any thing connected to our server. The new firewall can find where the breach occurred

If Trump is effective and helps advance Putin's goals - they win
If Trump is ineffective and smashes all the china - they still win.
