Whats truly frightening is their mutual friend, the demented and stupid traitor Donald Trump, now serves as pee-rental dunce of the United States.
Would MAGA be thankful for these good times for plutocrats, perverts and tyrants if they understood who really benefits from the treason?

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That in its essence, is Fascism ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power.

The worlds richest NAZI now has access to your Social Security.
And as measly as the check is, it represents a lot of hard work.

DOGE and co-pee rental dunce Musk also has access to the entire US Treasury.

(Trump is just a bit player in the largest multi generational and international criminal operation that
World has known. And Putin is at war with western democracies and having an idiot who is totally
compromised, a psychopath, and has progressive dementia as President is a good way to hurt
America and other nations.)
Merrick Garland and "The Octopus"
Drugs. Money laundering. Human trafficking. PROMIS. Iran-Contra. BCCI. Nuclear technology. Maxwell. Epstein. Kushner. Trump. Stolen elections. Russia. Israel. The story of how its all connected.

To be clear: Trumps ties to Russian mobsters predated his 2015 campaign announcement by at least 30 years. Beginning in the 1980s, Trump Tower and several of his other properties became havens for Russian oligarchs laundering money, some of whom were later tried and convicted.
The DOJ could have arrested him at any point during that period, but never did. Instead, institutions remained silent as he announced his candidacy.
And Merrick Garland could have acted swiftly in prosecuting Trump for his crimesbut he didnt. Well return to that later.
Donald Trump wasand remainsone of the most dangerous threats to national security in American history, yet in 2015 the intelligence agencies chose to do nothing to stop him.
Because in protecting Trump, they were also protecting themselves.

( Thiel: Is on record as saying that we have to nullify that messy voting and democracy thing with
technology. )
This anti-democratic, government welfare queenwho colluded with Jeffrey Epstein and Russia to rig the 2016 electionand deepened his relationship with Eaton Corporation, the company with access to 70% of our election equipment just before the 2024 election, is one heartbeat away from the presidency through his bought-and-paid-for vice president, JD Vance
And to top it off, the latest tranche of Epstein files revealed that in the months leading up to the 2016 election, Epstein colluded with Peter Thiel and Russia to rig it for Donald Trump. Then, on election night 2016, Epstein sent a one word email to Peter Thiel:
Wow.
These companies share something else in common: they all thrive under Republican leadership, supporting military expansion and reduced oversight. Hundreds
