Whether by strangulation or drowning it in a bathtub.

“I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.”- Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform

The Johnson who speaks to cloud spirits has shown no inclination or interest in bringing his cowards back to the US House. The Maladministration continues to operate almost wholly in bad faith at upholding our laws. The Court is powerless and disinterested in helping our government function or protecting our constitution.

Their scheme is, so far, working exactly as intended. Opinion polls are pointless and easily ignored. Actions are what matters, and to date their bad faith actions are largely unopposed.

Despite the corrupt, oil-soaked, spy-riddled monopoly press, Americans know who is causing anarchy and chaos.

They would have swept Tuesday's elections instead of us doing it.

Do you see them changing course in the next 12 months? I don’t. They’ll just redouble efforts to implement Project 2025, regardless of the impacts on the American people. That’s what I mean about things “not falling apart.”
And they’ll ramp up propaganda efforts, to try and put glossier lipstick on the pig. Gotta keep the base on their side.

Eventually the whole system will collapse if those people leave their critical jobs. Contrary to the rhetoric, the nation won’t function without these feds.

to destroy our government.

No SNAP, no unemployment insurance, continue to box Congress out of any legislation or oversight, but most of all:

No release of the Epstein files.

Chump would rather burn everything to the ground.

Even if the files are released, there’ll be so much redacted, any information in it can be plausibly denied and spun.

dumpie's leadership style is "Gather all the files up, shred them and throw them in the fire"
"Oh and find me some patsy to blame it on"

No Epstein files. Ever.
He has to make the "laws" - rule by EO.
He'll mete out wages to the gov't employees he approves of. Military, ICE etc.
No congressional oversight.
