This is all red meat for those of us who like what Trump stands for and what he's trying to do. But I don't know yet just how many there are who really want such disruption of the status quo, and the elimination of a lot of inappropriate "programs". It's just too soon to tell.
Doing so many things by "Executive Order" is a problem long-term and - unfortunately - an inevitable roadway to tyranny. For that reason I actually want many of them to be challenged and halted. Not that I don't want the government cut back and down to size, it's just that EO's are not the right (i.e., legal, sustainable) way to do it. It needs to be changed legislatively and the only way that might happen is for there to be overwhelming and sustained public pressure to do so. So far there seems to be, but relatively few have been affected so far. The question remains how the majority will respond when their own situations are threatened or changed for the worse, not just a "deep state" minority. It will be interesting to see.
Hopefully, the EO's will be serendipidous in that what they expose will create the public awareness and political pressure to make permanent and sustainable changes legislatively. The Congress may actually be what needs to change most fundamentally because all of these shenanigans were ultimately created or approved by Congress, by delegating away their Constitutional responsibilities to newly created, unelected, unaccountable, and often secret agencies.
Agree. There’s a right way and a chaotic way to do things. When will Leon send congress, their staffs (and lobbyists?) home? To my eyes, they haven’t done their job for a very long time and the last three weeks haven’t changed my mind. I don’t want a change from representative government to authoritarianism, I want congress to do their damn job!
Rubino there is no limit to the lying right-wing screed you spread whithout integrity or shame.
The Republican led House Committee on Energy and Finance spent twice as much as USAID did on Politico subscriptions last year, which was $24,000 vs. $58,000. $8,000,000 is pure lying bullshit.
Did you see the piece Redacted did on our Ambassador to Guatemala last night? Shocking. Millions of $ from USAID in his offshore accounts, 159K Guatemalan children kidnapped and trafficked with his fingerprints all over it… along with his gay sex parties at his mansion in Guatemala with young boys brought in for sex. It has been sent to Pam Bondi already

Who could be our Elon?
As a quite recently joined subscriber I don't know if such posts are rare or come frequently.
In case the latter applies I wouldn't appreciate it.
This kind of substack focuses on financial/investment matters and should stay there.
For other issues I use my sources and am not in need to expand into this here.
Thanks for contemplating.
Fascinating! Thank you, John Rubino. Finally, a detailed description of how to kill the Beast.
Thanks for the information, appreciate it.

LMAO. Maybe return under your stone, dear fellow subscriber?
Reminds me of an old surgical axiom: “Pus must be drained“.
About time this corruption is torn out by its roots.
