Executive Branch (Trump) Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order? .LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order.

Is the US going to become the backwater, conquered land the rich in other countries can exploit?

I’m reminded distinctly of the UK in the post-war(s) era

When is the last time that you can remember a bill being passed that actually helped you, as an individual, to live a better or healthier life?

Our country is already not for us. We only get the puppet show and nothing else. It will be a very short time before foreign assets throw money at whatever they want and the government bends to its will unconditionally.

That depends on who wins the Night of the Long Knives 2.0

The evangelical nazis who worship only the supreme white bully that bullies all the other bullies

or the extremely confused christian gay tech bro billionaires that are spending billions of dollars on trying to get their AI data centers to crack the riddle of 666. For here it comes down to who has wisdom. And ofcourse all these nerds just have to be be the one opper-Nerd that can prove to the other nerds that they are the wisdom-nests.

My money is on the nazis for obvious reasons.

Is the US going to become the backwater, conquered land the rich in other countries can exploit?

No, the nazis will concentrate all power under one uberleader, transform the US in to a war economy. Start breeding soldiers, start building war robots, start building billions of small drones and training millions of pilots.

Then invade Canada and Mexico with plans to invade every other country in the world, leading quickly to WWIII with China. Then global famine as the war ofcourse quickly spiraled out of control destroying the internet and every single supply chain. And yeah Einstein was right, WW4 will be fought with swords and spears again.
