What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[The Brain]

Ok, so you support secession. What about rural areas? Are state borders sacrosanct, despite the national union being divisible?

I don't have strong opinions on state issues. I do know that the Feds are fucked up.

So now Trump wants to increase the cost of postage to hurt Jeff Bezos.

Besos is rich enough to start his own service.

He's just jealous that Bezos has more hair and money than Trump does.

I found these tweets from Cuomo very striking:

One of the really dumb ideas of all time just came from Sen. Mitch McConnell.

His suggestion to let states go bankrupt makes no sense.

He says he doesn't want a "Blue State Bailout."

15,000 people died — this is not the time for politics.

Let's talk about fairness, Mitch.

NYS puts $116 billion more into the federal pot than we take out.

Kentucky TAKES $148 billion more from the federal pot than they put in.

But we don't deserve help now because the 15,000 people who died here were predominately democrats?

Again - as with the blue states shipping PPE to each other - it just makes me wonder if politics has broken the US in some way. I'd don't disagree with Cuomo on this, but it's just striking that it's the sort of language that would have me worried about, say, EU solidarity or solidarity between nations in the UK.

It's the lack of earmarks. Earmarks should be immediately reinstated.

I'm still not sure what the Republican end game is. Return to the gilded age by removing government regulation and oversight (except where it serves to keep them in power) and abolishing social security? Keeping "unamerican" tendencies in check? Where do they want to go with all this?

It's difficult to be surprised by much of anything in the news anymore; but the following headline from CNN:

Lysol maker: Please don't drink our cleaning products

I'll admit is one that I did not see coming.

That's why you don't work at the Onion

Consolidate power and wield it as seen fit. Gilded age part 2 is well underway and ought be preserved and expanded, dismantle government where it doesn't serve the needs of the very rich, especially Johnson and FDR presidencies and lately the Obama one (which is hilarious). The interesting bit is where democracy itself has become less useful and they are going to start dismantling that as well.
