Add the October Economic reports to the list of evidence Trump won't release.

Now that the invertebrate and centerless D party decided to get nothing for something, we need to realize that the elected members of Team Nuremberg will have created defenses in depth against releasing these files.
Seriously.
We are about to see some shit.

Always good reading how the readership still remaining at WaPo uniformly excoriates the Editorial bent.

I suppose it is a fucking backwards way to get to nationalized healthcare, on the back of Trump's incredible ignorance.

...And then he'll go to the Federalist/project 2025 Supreme Court who will promptly ignore the law and lower courts decisions.

Disgusting.

It should.

The Supreme Court is, however, a Regressive tool of the Federalist/Heritage/PR2025 Faction. Their agenda is to create a White Christian Corporatist state, and they've made it quote clear they don't care about anything else.
⚠️ It should make every American sick that the Supreme Court is siding with a man fighting to not feed hungry children.

Hilarious how desperate Bezos is, or how his crony rag is in trying to make Cantaloupe Caligula see Bezos' value.

I will also remind everyone that the supreme Court is owned by the Federalist faction, not Donald Trump. When Trump works towards project 2025, the court always aligns with him.

But Leonard Leo does not like excessive tariffs and is very much a Corporatist.

Let's understand here that not only was the recent election a wake up call for the regressives, but it's also impetus for them to redouble their efforts to the midterms.

It is not a surprise that the most transactional and openly Bribable White House in history is getting record corporate donations.

It should be no more legal than Teapot Dome.

Yes, seeing the turnout and the margins is a great feeling, as it is a rebuke against Trump.

But if Progressive and centrist democrats can have a message that we intend to compromise within the party, that there are solutions all over here...

We can put the #Regressives back into a deep hole.
It wasn't just that Democrats won top races in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California and NYC. That was predicted.

But in race after race, the margins of victory — including double-digit wins in the Virginia and NJ governor's races — were wider than expected.

Understand that the National candidates and the D platform need to reflect this passion. The National platform must include independent commissions across the country to ensure no dictators like Trump can try this again.

It follows the national mood.

And how do you think the GOP and Team Nuremberg feel this morning?

After 7million+ people protested against Tangerine Caligula and then they get this electoral rebuke...

Trust me. All the enablers and collaborators are having second thoughts.

Only the wealthiest feel really comfortable spending.

And they only worry about pitchforks and revolution now.
