MAGA is the new American religion. The true MAGA believers worship Donald Trump. Their Christianity has transformed, they have found a new messiah.

Imagine a cop pulling over a guy with expired license plates. The guy tells the cop that he is a soverign citizen and doesn't have to obey the law. The cop says "ok whatever you say!" and lets the guy go.
Republicans commit treason and democrats just go along with it. No laws for Republicans.

With the Constellation frigate being cancelled, it's a good time to revisit this essay in American Affairs.
The truth is that it doesn't really matter. The US is never going to be able to win a naval war with China.

Thanks for the thread. Something else:
The Navy in 2019 said that increasing from 32 to 48 VLS cells would cost $16 to $24M additional per ship.
The CBO also forecasted that a Constellation would cost $1.4B per, and a Flt III Burke $2.7B per.

My guess: Trump orders some bombings. No boots on the ground. Whether or not anything is achieved, Trump will declare a bigly victory about 2 weeks later and move on.
Alternatively, a special ops raid to get Maduro. It goes horribly wrong with many operators captured or killed.

We’re about to invade Venezuela because trump wants their oil. No other reason. The airspace has been cleared. Embassies are being evacuated. Flights are being canceled.
He’s going to kill people for oil.

Why are we all pretending that the US is not going to default on its debt?
We're adding trillions to the debt every year. We pay over a trillion dollars a year in interest payments.
In my lifetime, the US will default, the dollar-led international monetary system will end, and the US will be fcked

In October 2024, the U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1 % and the inflation rate was 2.6 %. Now, unemployment is 4.4 %, inflation has risen to 3 %, and we’ve added $3 Trillion to the national debt. The “Golden Age” feels more like the “Broke-Ass Olden Age.”

Lindsey Halligan, Trump's unqualified lawyer who indicted James Comey, forged the indictment documents. The Grand Jury never reviewed the documents that the jury foreman signed.
I am not a lawyer, but does this not merit a long prison sentence for Halligan?

The Georgian people have been protesting en masse against an illegitimate Russian puppet regime. They've been at it for a year now. Constant, daily, population-scale demonstrations.
Americans, we need to get our shit together. Not just for ourselves, but for Ukrainians, Georgians, and Palestinians.

I feel like an insane person having to say this, because these things should be obvious, but:
1) MTG is not on our team, she is just playing politics
2) Trump didn't "reverse course" on the Epstein Files
3) the House voting to release the files is meaningless, the files will never be released
