36. moot in his term
Sun Mar 1, 2026, 01:12 PM
Sunday

...but the realignment after he leaves will be monumental and much more defining than this antithetical aberration.

His board of peace is a ponzi scheme that will collapse under the weight of it's investors, most of whom are throwing money, irretrievably, into a pit of crazy.

It's nothing but play-to-pay which will be easily marginalized as graft and swept aside by a new Democratic administration ahead of an era of reform, much like post-Watergate.

Most of this smothering lawlessness is due to a temporary political bubble that's due to burst within months, and won't outlast his presidency.
