    While that’s what was attempted on January 6th 2021, and may happen again in January of 2029, it’s not what’s transpiring now.

    What it happening at the moment, is a Constitutional Crisis led by the Executive Branch (Trump, and his minion Musk with Trumps permission and direction) disregarding Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution is known as the “taxing and spending clause.” Clause 2 is known as the “borrowing clause.”, against the Legislative Branch (Congress), namely Congresses right to determine what taxes are collect and how they are distributed, and in what amounts, which will ultimately be decided by the Judicial Branch (The Supreme Court)

    The very bad news is all 3 Branches of US Government are squarely in control of Republicans, since the last election in November, who are blindly supporting Trump


  • McDonalds started charging $15 for a Quarter Pounder Value meal, and everyone realized in this post 9/11 America, you need to make as much money as possible just to be able to survive, which is diametrically opposed to the 60’s and 70’s still post war boom(ers) playacting socialist/communist Hippies, pointing and laughing when an artist they liked took a big check, when they’re own rent was either subsidized by their parents, or cost them $200 a month and their University tuition another $500 a year. Shit was different. Shit changed.
