It's really looking like a shitty week for the Trump administration.
How do you expect them to lash out? Invasion of another American city? Attack on Venezeula? Arrest of Pelosi?

Chief Justice Roberts Calls Trump’s Tariffs ‘Taxes on Americans’ While Grilling Admin Lawyer
(www.mediaite.com)
They’re going to impose a 1,000% tariff on SCOTUS
And knock down another part of the Whitehouse out of spite.
🤞west wing, west wing, west wing 🤞
They'll use the DOGE hacks to legally change his name against his will to Juan Roberto, and they'll record him in their system as a citizen of Venezuela. Then they will deport Juan to a Liberian prison camp.
Stealing more food/jobs from his own constituents while being laser-focused on stupid shit like his Epstein ballroom?
I am fully expecting an attack on sovereign Venezuelan territory. Maybe not this week or next but rump is flagging, his dementia is catching up, it's obvious and the people behind big boy rump are nervous. Classical political thinking in the US is that you cannot attack a war time president. They've been attacking random fishing boats and killing people and causing international problems. But we know that Venezuela is no real that to our country. Like fighting them would suck but it hurts them more than us unless a global power joins in.
So someone orders a strike inside of Venezuela. It's a direct provocation and Venezuela has to make a show of defending itself. rump and friends say this is a declaration of war, scramble the birds, America is under attack! Or some bullshit but it's just the US army invading a poorer nation with a small military where the general populace doesn't want us there and never wanted us there.
Suddenly rump is a wartime Pres with all the social and political cover that provides. It allows the crackdown in American cities because now protestors aren't just dancing in costumes. They are dancing in costumes protesting a country at war... Clearly that's too far and we need to crush these Venezuelan funded terrorists.... Or whatever the headline from our gov will be.
I dunno, we're so cooked. Anyone know groups in other countries that'll help trans people move out of the US?
They're already gearing up for a ground invasion of Mexico. I'm personally super excited for Mexican-American War 2. /s
All three has decent odds
Operation Iraqi Freedom in NYC
Declare Staten Island a no-fly zone to protect the residents from DNC aggression.
The only reason he would stop a Trump administration policy is that the owner class is upset. They clearly are.
It's often a great day when the trump cult bullshit gets closely examined in a court of law. Because when all you have is bullshit, it's pretty hard to prove anything with it.
Ooh, looks like someone just noticed the writing on the wall.
Oh NO! Don't say the t-word! I mean, the other t-word!
I'm waiting on Donbald to try to lean on those that set definitions of words next, like they got all pissy about the maps still labeling the Gulf of Mexico properly. He needs someone to redefine tariff to exclude any mention of "tax".
