Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Victims of Recycled Ramblings, It is with great reluctance that I bring you this urgent plea: Donald J. Trump—pardon me, DonOld Trump—needs new material. I know, I know. It’s difficult to improve upon the classics: the grievances, the self-pity, the finger-pointing at windmills
My fellow Americans, What a time to be alive! Never before in history have we seen anything quite like this—because never before in history has a democracy so enthusiastically uninstalled itself. Some said it couldn’t be done, but folks, we did it. And I mean bigly. Let’s

Welcome to the United States of Malice: The Land of Petty Power Plays and Spiteful Governance 1 Rule: If You Can’t Win, Make Everyone Else Lose Forget life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—those are relics of a bygone era when people actually thought governing meant improving lives.
As a former Fortune 50 Executive I have experience making a 15% reduction in workforce. Not a pleasant task, I assure you. Given my experience, I’m calling bullshit and WTF on Musk-Trump’s approach with “DOGE”. The federal government plays a critical role in maintaining the stability, security, and
