When MN is combined with FTD, we are seeing him at full throttle with no brakes. Those who oppose him are well aware that venturing out on their own against him - such as Thomas Massie has done - will be scrubbed from the face of the earth. That guy (Massie) either has balls of steel and a kill switch - or is controlled opposition who poses no actual danger. I suspect the latter. No, this wasn't written by AI - I just love em dashes. Lol.
Interestingly, Caligula was killed before finalizing plans for the invasion of Britain which Claudius achieved. I am not sure that Britain was especially happy with that.
This info from AI: "The current Waldorf Astoria New York on Park Avenue was built in 1931 by the architecture firm Schultze & Weaver. The Art Deco masterpiece was designed to be the tallest and largest hotel in the world at the time of its construction. The landmark hotel has recently undergone a major restoration, completed in 2025 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill."
The lying Con Man Don said he built the Waldorf Astoria. He did not. So sick of him and his lies and the lying people who put up with his lies and, worse, call them truth. That the sycophants surrounding him laugh at some of his comments that are as nasty as he is proves they are just as amoral. Their temporary positions of power have made them feel as though they are Gods and Gods can murder with impunity. They do not remove King Lear (Trump) because he is still useful to them. Once he is no longer useful or becomes more of an obvious problem, they will be forced to sideline him. It also seems likely Trump will die from natural causes before his term ends. So a regime change of some kind will occur. Vance is a chameleon and Thiel's puppet, but he is not totally delusional. Well, at least he is not as far removed from reality as Trump. Who knows what state we will be in when inevitable changes occur should we do nothing. That's why impeachment and Article II, Section IV need to happen as soon as possible. We are in the Twilight Zone.
My wife and I have long held the fear that Trump will take the planet down with him. The longer his decline, the more likely that will be, and at present it's a slow burn.
Great article! I especially like the newborn starting point. The irony is that it will not be Trump's malignant narcissism that will be his undoing, but the very Earthly consequence of it - 9 bucks for a gallon of gas....
My biggest worry is he will take us all down with him. And of course that ties in nicely to the End Times scenario that Christian Nationalists like Hegseth broadcast.
Next step is asking (begging) new pope Leo to sanctify him. A meteoric rise to the status of Saint trumpy dumpty. Wouaouh! What a sick disgusting toxic idiot he is (not the pope!).
WE know that he is an evil, sexual predator, a criminal, corrupt,enebtedm a malignant narcissist. Now how do we convey those facts to the rest of society, especially his cult.
I am disabled but my wife will attend, a small county, Island mostly rural, no cities just a couple of small towns.
But protests alone will achieve nothing, they haven't so far and millions have turned out all over the country. Trump may not like them, but they don't deter him.
We are already up to our chest in a fascist quicksand. The only reprieve I see, will come from outside, a total collapse of the world's economy.
No chance of an uprising, a general strike Americans are allergic hair shirts
Laws, policies, procedures are in place to thwart and steal the vote. Perhaps if every registered voter, and the Muslims black and Hispanic males that voted for Trump realize that they screw up, we might have a chance
I can't think of an authoritarian regime that collapsed from within, and Pinochets doesn't count, his ego let him believe that he had popular support, so called an election and lost.
BTW I am listening to Trump speak to the Future Investment Initiative in Miami, a Saudi funded Enterprise besides his usual incoherent rambling, not so incoherent this time, he analogized Democrats to Iranians, called us stupid terrorists., for not funding ICE.
Whadda cry baby. Wah wah wah. All because he doesn’t understand his job.

Same diagnose goes for Musk. The ratty covert version.
So obviously true.

That "cabinet meeting" was, as Lawrence O'Donnell reminds us, watched and heard by the Iranians.
Seriously, how much would it cost to publish this as a full page ad in the NY Times? Can you start a campaign to raise the funds?

His niece Mary Trump has said that if he thinks he's going down, he'll try to take everyone else with him. I believe her.

I hear there’s a big march today :)

This is exactly what I think as well.
