10. Is this more "strategery"?
Sat Sep 27, 2025, 11:33 PM

Knowing he never saw an "emergency" he didn't find a way to milk...
would he see a Government shut-down as an "emergency" and "save us" all by seizing what remains of it?
Maybe just wait 'til the shutdown and resulting privation inspires unrest and eventual violence leading to... seizing what remains of the Government.
Recent events have proven that there are really no confines that can prevent the incomprehensible from becoming the norm.
Maybe my tin-foil hat isn't tuned all the way down, but it's not sounding as "haywire" as I thought
