The President has chosen to intentionally crash the U.S. economy and financial system by doing things which have been ridiculed in every intro macroeconomics class for the past 80+ years. Those with the power to stop him refuse to do so because they hate minorities.

Absolutely insane. Tax records were never meant to be weaponized. This move will only drive fear, weaken compliance, and erode civil liberties.
The IRS has agreed to share information with ICE to help locate people for deportation, court records show, a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records. nyti.ms/3XQ9vWk

President-elect Donald Trump will be sentenced on 34 counts of falsifying business records ahead of his swearing-in Jan. 20 but is not expected to face jail time.
The decision to uphold Trump’s conviction almost certainly means Trump will be the first felon to serve as a U.S. president.

Judge upholds Trump’s felony conviction, but does not plan to order jail time

We sometimes forget the courage it took for Cheney to never cave to Trump and his cult. So few Republicans in Congress have had the patriotism and decency to put what was right and just in front of the politically expedient path, which was to grovel at Mango Mussolini's feet.

Extending Trump’s tax cuts adds $5.7 TRILLION to the debt👇🏽💰
Republicans in favor of this do NOT care about the debt
To “pay for” it, they’ll cut programs (Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps) + raise prices (tariffs)
Another MASSIVE GOP wealth transfer from bottom to top.
