@TomJChicago I agree with everything you said wholeheartedly, until the end when you spoke to the 2026 election being on the level. I do NOT think Trump intends for the 2026 midterms to occur in what we would term a traditional fair sense. I think there are a number of strategies being

Ok now it makes sense. Paul Mellon caught rides on Lolita Express and his family likely has a vested interest in keeping the government ‘shut down’ so the files aren’t released. There’s your quid pro quo. These people are monsters.

He’s crashing out because their plot to rig the 2026 midterm election is being exposed. Republicans know they’re losing – so they’re trying to rig the rules to stay in power, regardless of the will of the American people.
The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money? It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.
The White House has released a list of donors who contributed to President Trump’s new ballroom, amid a backlash over the demolition of the decades-old East Wing to make way for the project. https://t.co/QNd7IEEtcy

@StephenM After you and Trump have invaded Venezuela, you will have caused an enormous mass migration to North America due to destabilizing the region. That Trump/Miller migration will make the Democrat’s “mass importation of foreign nationals” look like amateur work.
