#TrumpVirus

@heidilifeldman Very similar to what some night describe as a hostile takeover: the ethos and goals of those who want control is at odds with the system they have been asked to administer. The assumptions of a three tiered system of government are being eroded by those who do not want it to affect them. A virus has been introduced into a democracy but the immune system is disabled or slow to act.

Here is our "Special" #TrumpVirus agent of chaos and entitlement, with not a single limit or law applying to he who owns the planet. Not to mention altruism, empathy, mindfulness or humility.

A perfect bookend for Sir, though Donnie can only take the humiliation as the mayhem King of #Muskville prances and sics his child on him.

But what's the Lord of #Muskville to do, in order to become the first Trillionaire?
Oh right: squeeze people when the stones are dry & implode the USA. 👿

"Terrific"

Just in case there were any doubt about the mental & physical health commitment - and status of the #GQP #cult, Congress

Welcome to the 'great again' Dark Ages, with feudal Lords, alchemists, & leeches too - they'll be there in abundance in D.C., no worries. Now we'll be deifying #BrainWorms & the Stable Genius #TrumpVirus of #Muskville

Just in case there were any doubt about the mental & physical health awareness &/or status of #GQP #cult Congress...

Welcome to the 'great again' Middle ages, with feudal Lords, alchemists, and only official proclamations (no "news"). Only change, instead of leeches (they'll still be there in abundance in D.C. swamp, no worries), now we'll be deifying #BrainWorms thanks to the Stable Genius Sir #TrumpVirus of #Muskville

February 2025 Update

The President of the United States is in the process of placing the entirety of the Federal government under his own control using methods that are in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution.

This is a coup.

Coup leaders consolidate power by seizing control of key government agencies, media, infrastructure, and financial institutions.

There is still time to resist, but real damage is being done to the system...

A short but pithy read. Joyce Vance:

> Is It Really a Coup?

open.substack.com/pub/joycevan

> Is it really a coup if it doesn’t feel like one? If your day-to-day life hasn’t changed? Can it be a coup if I can still write posts like this?

> Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat calls it “a new kind of coup,” writing in Lucid about Elon Musk’s seeming power sharing with Trump:

> ...There is only room for one authoritarian leader at the top .... Here there are two.”

OK, now here's a plan... What could possibly go wrong?

> Elon Musk Leads Bid to Buy OpenAI for $97.4 Billion

nytimes.com/2025/02/10/technol

> The billionaire is leading a group of investors in the unsolicited offer, which complicates the start-up’s plan to raise more money.

"...unsolicited offer" = A brilliant #Musk idea. To aid the goal of trimming & monitoring of every aspect of the national budget. Donald will be pleased; it doesn't cost him a penny.

After Trump killed a report on nature, researchers push ahead with release

Of course, we can't have anything good, as that all belongs to him-him-him, the Emperor without #cognitive clothes, Sir #TrumpVirus - for which a cure has yet to be found, and surely will not be funded. (He has only one direction, vacuuming IN tax dollars.)

Eggs-selent!

And true. But that there shows a trend spiking up since 2020. (Psst, Biden!)

I'd like to see a timer reflect # of days since Jan 20 2025 - the day Trump took office and promised "groceries, now that's an interesting word" were going to come down - charting/graphing EGGS, on Day 1throgh now. I think a counter - on Facebook, X, etc.(here too!) would be powerful, "in your face" & plain #Truth about #TrumpVirus He's done WHAT?

He lies. How many times/days? EGGS? GROCERIES?

@PerryM

Egg salad is just so much tastier than #WordSalad ! Speaking of, how's our Lord #TrumpVirus doing with radically lowering the prices of eggs?!

There ought to be a meter (Techies??
Sure it's easy to do, made to share widely: a meter that graphically shows # of days since Sir #TrumpVirus promised to lower the prices of eggs? 1.. 2... 3... 4...etc.

And/or another: Price of eggs graph.
(table would work too)
Price of eggs day before Sir became Lord of #media & #cult, next day... next..

Quick & scary-as- s*@$ backstory to Elon's data hacking.

404 Media · ‘Things Are Going to Get Intense:’ How a Musk Ally Plans to Push AI on the Government404 Media has obtained audio of a meeting held by Thomas Shedd, a Musk-associate who is now heading a team of government coders. In the call one employee pushed back and said one of the planned moves is an “illegal task.”

Meanwhile, can't have Lord #TrumpVirus , owner of #Truth - or Chief Sandbox officer of all X-rated #evil, #MuskVirus - get all the attention for their blatant psychopathy & illegality.
