It’s time to Break It Down!
There’s no easy way to frame this, so I might as well just rip off the band-aid. Forget the Constitution, never mind history, legacy, and tradition. We are entering a new frontier.
The Founding Fathers would be apologetic. The great experiment is bordering on being null and void. Done. Finis.
Republicans laud Trump as transactional, the ultimate deal maker. His bona fides in the bizarre are legendary and need no recounting.
Musk is the wealthiest man in the world. After buying Twitter and converting the platform into a conservative safe space where conspiracy theories abound, hate speech is welcome, and Trump support is the coin of the realm, he is to Trump, what Trump is to MAGA, the source of all things indisputable.
For all practical purposes, Musk injected enough money into the electoral process, on behalf of Trump and Republicans to equate to more than a million dollars per electoral vote. In turn, Trump has provided Musk the latitude to convert America into his wholly owned subsidiary; AmericaX. A land in which federal agencies are being neutered, with the prospect of their functions being outsourced to Oligarchs…like Musk. “Are we there yet?”
I’m done; holla back!

BREAK IT DOWN! 
trickle frown? Not since the Roman Empire has history seen such a combination of god on earth and democracy and we know how that ended.
Great mystery to me is who the new barbarians will be; hope we can get around the world and back before they start emerging.
Proud of Al Green-he had the only acceptable response.

Only real parallel in history would be the Roman Empire in which Caesar (god on earth) co-ruled with a sycophant democratic Senate held in check by armies controlled by Caesar. We do appear headed there and Military X appears well underway.
Actions fomented under the powerful dual influence of blame and retribution seldom have turned out well for any civilization. Take all of the vitriol out of last night and it might have garnered begrudging support like never seen before in our land. It will be Trump’s downfall; his inability to understand his own culpability will grow his detractors and hopefully the first vestiges of comeuppance are just around the corner.
