Oh look, it's Lazy Sunday again and instead of starting a new painting on my many textured backgrounds I *needed* to do yesterday, I did a doodle. Not sure if he's my chonkiest yet, but he's angry. Yes I did steal the crowned orange again from the other doodle. "Lazy Sunday," remember? 😅

Trump wants to control all federal firing & hiring. He wants to be able to reduce & refill the ranks of career fed'l employees. It's soft coup (non-military) happening before our eyes, but too many people aren't paying attention. Read about it here: joycevance.substack.com/p/humphreys-...

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.
-US was already an oligarchy
-US was already fascist
-Biden gave Israel a blank check

If a “Democrat” like Dean Phillips says anything remotely like ‘actually Elon is on to something’ at this point just turn them off. It’s been 3 weeks. If you’re too fucking stupid to see this isn’t about saving money, fighting corruption, or preventing fraud then you are clearly compromised.
