The republicans have bankrupted America to cut the taxes on the ungodly greedy have now turned their attention to social security. The republicans have long understood the way to away with entitlements was to bankrupt the country. Then they could say the country is bankrupt and we can't afford the entitlement. The same holds for social security. The republicans have proposed doing away with taxes on social security. This is a double edge sword and will make social security go broke in the near future. The tax on social security is paid back into social security and some with high income pay 85% tax on their social security. Those who jointly earning over $44,000 are subject to a tax of 85%. If you have no income other than social security, you pay no income tax. The cut on social security, like other republican tax cut, would go to the rich and bankrupt social security in next few years and then they could take the republican chainsaw to social security. If this happens you will get only 75% of your social security check.

The signs that Trump is becoming a dictator are clearer every day. He is now completely ignoring court rulings. He was ordered not to send some illegal aliens to foreign prisons. The Trump administration was ordered to turn any plane around. The judge's orders were ignored, and the planes continued to fly to their destination. The Trump administration claimed they were already in international waters. That has nothing to do with the pilots were still American citizens and subject to American law.
The parallels between Hitler and Trump are unmistakable. In the 30s the right had an organized movement with millions of "silver shirts" panning to kill the Jews and put a Nazi in as president, even a nationally known priest with a huge following on the radio advocating shooting up the White House if Roosevelt was reelected. Thet had broken into the military armories with inside help. Polica chiefs and Sheriffs were members of the silver shirts and other right wing organizations.

Trump has now decided to just impeach the judge that ruled that he could not deport people without due process. Trump could pick up any journalist or political opponent and deport them to a foreign country no question asked. Now this was to put the fear of God into any judge that even considered ruling against him. Judges if you want to keep your job you better not rule against Trump. John Roberts, head of the supreme court, had something to say about Trump abusing judges. Roberts created this monster by granting him immunity I bet he regrets that decision now.

We are getting more like Nazi Germany every day. Now Ron De Santis is advocating getting rid of the court system because they are blocking the village idiot's agenda. Notice that the one and only thing important to DeSantis is Trump's agenda it does not matter that we have a half century of laws passed by congress that the village idiot is breaking. Trump has done nothing but break every law that he has come across. We are a nation of laws and when we stop enforcing those laws, we will be a nation of Nazis.

One article on the internet says that the village idiot has fired 30 Federal Judges. I thought judges were appointed for life to protect them from political retaliation. If Trump can indeed fire judges, he will fire every Federal judge that rules against him and scare the rest into ruling for whatever atrocity he is pushing. Trump will replace the judges with zealots. Washington is now full of zealots that believe Trump is king. The airhead that Trump put in as press secretary thinks Federal judges should have nothing to do with the federal government. How do we know there were not American citizens mixed in with the illegal aliens Trump shipped out in the middle of the night against a judge's orders of the country? The answer is we don't and neither does Trump. Do you carry proof of your citizenship with you? Could you prove it in a court of law? Oh, I forgot you won't get that chance if you are picked up out of bed in the middle of the night by a group of Trump zealots.

Trump's billionaire commerce secretary said no Friday when he suggested that only "fraudsters" and people "stealing from the government would complain if they didn't get a social security check next month. If Americans don't get their social security checks next month what is happening to Tesla will be small potatoes.
Billionaires are so far disconnected from the reality of ordinary Americans they think everybody has a few billion laying around. Social security is the only income for many Americans. If they don't get a check next month there will be no food or medicine. This billionaire just needs to hide and watch what happens if Trump does not send those checks next month. Stopping social security has been the wet dream of the republican party since the 1930s and now there are enough billionairess in Trump's cabinet to do it.

Has anybody seen Elon Musk with his chain saw lately celebrating destroying millions of lives? Where is Musk with his Hitler salute? Musk figured he could destroy other's lives and he was untouchable. It seems the federal employees have shown that if he sticks his hand in their pocket, they are going to stick their hand in his pocket, and he has deep pockets. Tesla stock is worth less than half of what it was worth in December. Musk has lost $100 billion dollars since his chain saw dance.
How does Musk make his money at Tesla? He sells carbon credits to other automakers. That is pure government welfare, and it is responsible for 43% of Tesla revenue. Why would an electric car maker get any carbon credits? They will never need them. The government gives him the carbon credits and he sells them for billions. It looks like Musk is running the biggest scam in America. The government should be the one selling the carbon credits they could use the billions.

Wouldn't you like get Musk's $100 billion welfare ck by mistake? One thing about these self-made billionaires you can bet there is a huge government handout somewhere. I can remember when Amazon came to town. The city bent over backwards to please him. The remodeling and all the computers, desk, and chairs were provided by the city, later they built them a state-of-the-art building and sold it to them for a $1. This same thing happened all over the country no wonder he is one of the richest men.

One of the republican senators went on talk shows this weekend and said of course we are going to cut social security and anybody that tells you otherwise is lying to you. There is a choice they can cut social security or make the rich pay the same percentage into social security the middle class pays. The republicans are against the rich paying the same percentage of their income into social security. The solution is obvious everybody should pay the same percentage. Would Trump lie? Does the sun come up in the morning?

Trump continues to go after Greenland but all he is doing is making them angry. Trump envision a world where you simply take whatever country you want and America, Russia, and China would simply divide up the world. Trump thinks that if he is treated like the second coming in America that he will be treated the same by the population of other countries. The populations of other countries have not been bombed with Trump propaganda 24-7.

Musk was crying on Trump's shoulders today saying that working for Trump made him an enemy of just not the American people but people all over the world. Trump said don't worry it will be just short-term pain after that you will be bankrupt and won't half to worry anymore.

Is anybody keeping track of how many cases Trump has won vs how many he has lost? He lost another one today. The judge told him he could not do away with all the transgender people in the military. The judge said that Trump is breaking their constitutional rights. The supreme court ruled against the ghost guns, those that are sold in a kit with no serial number making them untraceable and used in crimes. The NRA, who are always for more deaths, was upset.

According to an article on the internet, there are 5 different groups of people who will not receive a social security check this month. One group is those that were born after the 20th of the month. My birthday was in the first half of the month, and I checked, and I did get my social security this month.
If you don't want to start writing a bunch of bad checks, you best with the bank and make sure you got a social security check this month. The republicans are in, and you can no longer take social security for granted. Musk just waves his hands and calls social security is a Ponzi scheme and expects it to just go away. Musk crew is going to digitize all social security records and if there is a mistake in your application you will lose your social security for a minimum of 2 years because there is no one to answer the phone at the few social security still left open. Not to worry AI will determine who gets social security. Billionaire republicans have complete control of Washington, and they are not going to pay back the social security $2.8 trillion social security trust fund. They sincerely hope you die before you get your social security back after they take it.

The word is that Musk may soon be kissing Trump goodbye. Musk says his 130 days is about up. By my count is that he is only a little over half of his 130 days. Musk needs to leave and see what he can do with what is left of Tesla.
Musk was crying on Fox News' shoulder about the democratic candidate for vice president celebrating on stage the huge loss in value of Tesla stock. Musk complained how could anyone be happy about Tesla stock going down. This coming from a man who just ruined a million lives and then got on the stage with a chain saw to celebrate. Musk doesn't understand when you put your hand in someone else pocket, they are going to put their hands in yours. Musk has lost so much money on Tesla stock he had to sell X for $33 billion in an effort to save Tesla. Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion a couple of years ago and it is selling for $30 billion that is a lose $14 billion.

Anyone wants to buy a Tesla? It seems Musk is way over stocked and most owners will make you a real good deal on one, I suspect some people will pay you to drive it off. There is an old saying, "what goes around comes around. Elon has no hint of empathy when he is firing a million people many who have devoted their entire life to their jobs. It could not happen to a better fellow.

Anyone want to buy a Tesla? I'll bet they are having a sale. My nephew bought one after Trump got elected. Want to use the self-driving option? After you spend thousands for the car you have to cough up another $10,000 to Tesla to be able to use it. They have free periods that you can use it as promo for a day or two. That would be like buying a new car and being told you will have to pay another $10,000 to use the transmision.

The supreme court has now made the billionaire class exempt from the law. Nobody ever believed that making one person above the law would stop there. Once one person is above the law, he has friends and will make them above the law also. Trump fired a prosecutor today that was prosecuting one of his billionaire friends. Friend in this sense is one that is lining Trump's pockets either before or after or probably both.
This is "How Democracy Die" now not military coup but with a populace leader one law at a time.

"This is how most democracies now die. Blatant dictatorships---in the form of fascism, communism, or military rule--has disappeared across much of the world. Military coups and other violent seizures of power are rare. Most countries hold regular elections. democracies will still die but by different means. Since the end of the Cold War most democracies breakdown have been caused not by generals and soldiers but by elected governments themselves. Like Chaves in Venezuela elected leaders have subverted democratic institutions in Georgia, Hungry, Nicaragua, Peru, the Philippine's, Poland, Russia, Sri Lanka, and the Ukraine. Democratic backbuilding today begins at the ballot box."
From the book "How Democracies Die" the authors are a group of professors who have studied how democracies died all over the world it was written in 2018 during Trump's first term.

The senate republicans are going to try to hide the $4.6 trillion tax cut for billionaires in other bills so it will be obscured from the public. In order to do that they need to break the senate rules and ignore the senate parliamentarian. That at a time when the public will have to pay 25% more on many of life's essentials. The ungodly greedy have already borrowed the $2.8 trillion social security trust fund for tax cuts for the ungodly greedy. Now they need another cash cow to replace the social security trust fund, and the Trump tariffs are going to create that cash cow. Trump is going to your pocket and give to the billionaires. Trump is probably the greatest pick pocket of them all.

It is Liberation Day; Trump has liberated trillions from the pockets of American workingmen so he can give a $4.6 trillion tax cut to billionaires. Even the republicans like Mike Pence, are finally standing up and telling the village idiot that his tariffs are the biggest peace time tax hikes in American history. The village idiot said he would stop inflation but instead has assured us the worst inflation in the history. We have gone down this path before creating jobs and each job cost the taxpayers over $500,000 each.
