No surprise here. Lobbyists have quickly learned & adjusted their tactics to leverage what motivates the current administration: Just pay someone on the inside to get what you want. Lobbyists have always been a concern, but now they are free to run wild. Great news for a grift-oriented president!

Yet another example of Putin’s ability to pull DJT’s strings. Unfortunate, the international price being paid for the world to watch the obscene dancing…

To DJT & the grift / self-enrichment MAGA’s in this administration & MAGA-controlled congress: As you add more “sh#t-hole countries” to your list & see so many potential immigrants as worthless, and have cut badly needed world aid, we dedicate Band Aid’s “Don’t They Know It’s Christmas Time” to you!

What? We didn’t come this far to walk away w/ only empty “promise”. Dems been lied to before by MAGA Cong leaders! Trump is a proven master at extortion, inflicting pain & public manipulation. Dem senators played again! LT consequences worse now! & No leverage left! “Schumer effect” Dems now weaker!

But if authoritarian form results, so be it. Country will get what it wants.
1) Then formal apology to Abe Lincoln & admit remainder’s spirit has no “better angles”.
2) Majority of blue states secede from new authoritarian regime.
3) Could join Canada which will also enable contiguous territory.

Top of list of who to worry about: The MAGA run congress!
To remain separate from the Executive branch.
To serve as a check & control over the president.
To provide balanced legislation that reflect the needs & views of ALL their constituents; negotiate & compromise as needed!
Not blind obedience!

He’s so consumed w/ himself he can’t help it! & traditional media keeps going along reporting as great breakthrough. SKorea is learning - give him gold and come away with a great win. For them, a nuke sub to be built in the US. Yes, they are an ally, but this will escalate China & NKorea tensions!

And the mess began with McConnell when he refused to allow Obama’s SCOTUS nomination to go forward with almost a year left in the president’s term.
High water mark was not allowing the Jan 6 insurrection impeachment to move forward. He’s the lead creator of today’s monster in the WH.

Peaceful protests during threatening times is nothing new - courageous American memories that are still painted in my mind.
