It seems possible that things which seem equally inconceivable today will, 12 weeks from now, be our reality.
We are on track for something close to worst case scenario.
Maybe the track will change.
But maybe not. We need to expand our idea of what is possible.
Bc as of now we are not prepared.

Imagine you tell Hewitt that Trump will demand Mike Turner be removed from House Intel.
And that RFK will be nominated for HHS, Hegseth for Defense, and Tuli for DNI.
Again: This would have been called hysteria. Catastrophizing. Inconceivable.

Imagine it’s October and you tell Hugh Hewitt that in the first 48 hours Trump will free all 1,600 convicted insurrectionists and will strip Bolton and Pompeo of secret service protection.
He’d have called you crazy. TDS. Inconceivable.

You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?

This is still about President Obama winning in the biggest landslide of the 21st century so far. It triggered a psychotic break in the minds of white supremacists and it never ended. White supremacists are not just loud, violent thugs, they are also everyday people, your coworker, the bus driver etc

If Trump is planning to fire the current director that is a very big deal and should be treated as such by everyone in government and the media.
“Highly irregular” does not begin to describe such a move.
