I'm getting tired of reading media reports that cast everything the POTUS does as "getting even" or "retribution." While he is certainly animated by animus, this overly simplistic story line once again makes it all about Trump, and it almost gives him a pass for the fallout from every new dumbfuck thing he does.

It also tends to detract from the seriousness of the latest dumbfuckery, as if to suggest the POTUS's personal grudges and wrecking democratic norms/checks and balances aren't the same thing.

@briankrebs And what would he be "getting even" for? He's not been wronged. His dumb ass was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he's been elected president twice over. HOW has he ever been a victim besides to his own stupidity? The victim complex conservatives have is just fascinating.

@WarmRegards @briankrebs I actually feel a bit sorry for rich people and Trump is one of the ones I feel most sorry for. He's never known love. Not once. Never will either. He has no friends and he himself is incapable of being a friend. His life is actual, literal hell and that's created a monster. His father was a demon.

Same with Musk. His parents are actual devils. Just look at them.

They are not blameless. But they were raised by demons and surrounded by such all their lives.

@briankrebs They're trying to start a war cuz that's when presidents can stay longer. The world has to hold out until this idiot is out of office not give in to what he is doing. The only war that would do anything would be a civil one unfortunately. Hopefully we don't have to go there.

It is time to remove them one way or another cuz the courts and Senate that are supposed to protect us are failing. Money only holds the value we give it but we have to give it the same value collectively.

@briankrebs at this point, he has not only tipped the scales, but pretty much just threw a wrecking ball at the whole thing

@briankrebs I suspect 🇺🇸 billionaires are getting a wake up call on the topic of class solidarity. Their representative sitting at the Resolute desk is quite happy to cost them a lot of money while consolidating his hold at the top.

The rest of us just get to suffer.

@briankrebs Brian- I agree. The Dark Enlightenment (NRX) has a goal as they feel democracy is evil. Ayn Rand seems to be their philosophy of super-men (Musk, Thiel etc) running corporatism in place of democracy. The weak, poor are considered parasites and need to be ruled.

@briankrebs My ex used to do the same thing. Do mean things in retribution for things I supposedly did. Threaten to treat me the way I treat her, when I'm not even doing any of the shit she's threatening to do. All of it justified in her mind and no amount of reasoning or abject apology did any good.

I, like America, am the type of idiot to spend a decade with such a person thinking that there's hope that things can work out--because we're both trying, right?

No.

@briankrebs This is also always how Peter Navarro has been portrayed. They always said he wanted "revenge" against China. Okay, true, but he also has some insane ideas and a very terrible epistemology.
