Trump pardoned the founder of Silk Road, which ran via crypto.
Silk Road was a way to funnel money for "illegal goals" which were wide ranging, "not just drugs"
Stay with me.

The Musk/crypto kids have partially broken into the Treasury database, will allow Musk a pretty quick way to literally drain the Treasury into a crypto account.
He will then try to "ransom"/essentially force Americans into a crypto based currency.
With near zero current regulation or an equivalent "FDIC" protecting you.
Did I mention they are "after" the FDIC as well?

---This is why I advise everyone to PULL AS MUCH CASH as they can out of ALL their bank accounts NOW.
Do it before it is too late.

Trump just keeps on going. He is also on the TV EVERY day and night. He gets all the attention. There is also a bunch of places which are spending a lot of time kinda attacking Trump but, as far as I can see, not really - just enough to let people know almost what is going on. One thing that I keep on hearing, every day, several times a day is a simple question - What in the hell happened to the Democrats (and are there any). I, personally, don't really know if they are doing anything or not because I am not sure that, if they were, that the medium would publish any of it. So, I guess, are the Democrats actually silent or are they being shut out by a medium devoted to Trump (their creation) and whatever he does.

I have been told, by wife and friends, that the Democrats have a new guy in charge and he is going to fix everything. That was a week or so ago. Still really not much. I am not even sure just what they can or will do! I do know that when I hear that the Republicans are going to mess with Social Security I kind start to worry a bit. Actually its all we have that we can do - worry...... I am, for one, getting kinda sick of that one too. I do remember that Biden, in theory, left the democratic party with a pile of money.

One, I guess, can only wonder?

It's worse than you think.

Why worry about SS or Medicare if Democracy is dead. Trump and his complicit Republicans will do anything they want and guess what .... the Democrats can not stop it from happening .... Republican controlled Congress will not stop it from happening .... the federal courts will not stop it from happening .... and finally the SC has already thrown in with Trump .... he is gold. O you think because a few courts have temporarily stopped Trump from doing crazy stuff, you're safe? I think Bannon already knows and soon the other right-wing gangsters will figure it out .... the courts have no enforcement mechanism. Trump can do anything he wants ...

So back to your original concern .... Trump is a de facto king.

I simply have hope. Its probably all there is but, perhaps, well, maybe. I am, in other words well aware of your stance. But, as in all, time will tell. So far its just a mess but, eventually, things should clear and then we will know for sure. I have no idea what happens then.

I hope......... its not over quite yet?

Your hope would be better directed to your favorite film protagonist foiling the villain.

Here in the reality of a de facto dictatorship, I see an article laying out Musk's next move in rebuttal to the court staying his intervention into the Treasury Dept .... yep as I already predicted defy the court and continue doing what he is doing. So who would stop him? You think harsh language from the court would make an impact? Congress? LOL .... they are complicit. Who's left?

This is not the same universe as the one in which you woke this morning.

In an addendum .... Rep Jim Jordan just proclaimed the Pres can ignore the courts and do whatever he wants.

Now if anyone needs a class in understanding what a dictatorship is .... well .....

o now even worse .... VP Vance says Trump should ignore the courts ... and ... Justice Roberts is more than aware .... THERE IS NO ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM ... Justice Roberts is begging Trump to comply with the courts .... anyone think begging works with Trump???

There does seem to be one thing that Trump hates - its when a LOT of folks start yelling at him - A LOT OF FOLKS! The problem is that is simply not happening. The Democrats, for instance, seem to be quiet big time - My own wonder about that one is whether the media is even letting them have at it. No way to tell.

Anyway, seems we are simply screwed (sigh)

Let me edit that for you .... he hates it when MAGA yells at him .... he doesn't care what anyone else says .... after all they are evil corrupt radical left wing extremist communists etc etc. For the most part MAGA does not care what he does because Trump is savior of America ... sent by God ... etc etc.

Trump is probably the most idiosyncratic dumb person ever seen. Here is a guy who has some media savvy. He right out of the box proclaimed he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and never lose a supporter and yet at the same time he didn't want MAGA to know about Stormy Daniels ... he doesn't want MAGA to know the truth about stolen top secret files ... he doesn't want MAGA to know about his conspiracy to overthrow the government .... he doesn't want etc etc. So if he says he wouldn't lose a supporter - and he is absolutely correct - then why not tell them the truth?
