The insider trading shit is a good angle and I’m glad dems are going with it, because it’s simple enough to be easily comprehensible and just straight up corruption.

this is so stupid. what you get in any Trump takeover scenario, assuming Canada gets representation at all, is the Canadian Independence Party not Dems
“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I strongly agree with Donald Trump,” said former Representative Steve Israel of New York, who headed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Canada is largely left of center, and making it the 51st state means more Democrats”. STOP THIS.
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Democrats: what you need to all be saying, with a single voice, is "The United States government is in crisis, and our political and economic system may collapse, because Donald Trump is trying to throw out the Constitution and make himself a dictator."

this is exactly it. Vought, Rufo, and Heritage/Claremont are convinced that by destroying the bureaucratic-rational state, they can go back to the republic of their dreams away from wokeness
i don't think there's a grand strategy here.
I think these are all just a bunch of a absolute utter morons so depraved in their cruelty and convinced that if they knock down the load-bearing walls around them, they'll defeat and/or find the secret tunnel to the cathedral or whatever

Seeing a lot of confusion here, feigned or otherwise.
There is nothing to be confused about, friends.
1. Trump and Xi have zero important ideological differences
2. Musk has tens of billions of dollars tied up in the PRC
Those are the only facts you need

After pausing foreign aid to Taiwan, Trump is now also going to place tariffs on Taiwan’s semiconductor chips:

Trump To Tariff Chips Made In Taiwan, Targeting TSMC
The tariffs would ensnare cutting-edge smartphone and PC-related chips for Apple, AMD and Nvidia if enacted. But Trump is betting his plan will bring more chip production to the US.

A dead squirrel gets more national attention than the systemic destruction of all scientific research in this country, jeopardizing the jobs of millions of Americans and the livelihoods of millions-more students. That's not natural. That's not organic.

Per an NIH source:
“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

yes, this is basically it. a lot of people just imagined Trump II as "what if we went back to the pre-COVID times" not "there is a hybrid regime policeman breaking my door down for complaining about the police"

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.
ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:
A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

At the Eaton Fire (Altadena) fire community meeting, Kathryn Barger (county board of supervisors) says her goals for rebuilding (2000 structures destroyed!) are: no new density, and no changes in property tax assessments (Prop 13 says valuations only increase if a property is sold or redeveloped).
