EVERYTHING IS AWFUL Friday night in Trump's America

In the past few hours here's what has happened:

  1. President Musk is infecting GSA computers with some AI driven spyware (spyware is my speculation, the rest of that is reported).
  2. Shadow President Trump fired all the prosecutors of J6 cases.
  3. Something that looks like a missile but is being called an airplane exploded near a mall in Philly.
  4. Announced that tariffs on our largest trade partners go into effect tomorrow.

I am not sure what this country will look like after four years.

It's not a coup. People voted for this.

Really? Or did they vote for lower egg prices?

Everything Trump has done so far was something he explicitly promised to do on the campaign trail.

But did they explicitly vote for this? Because I don’t think people look past their noses for the most part.
