The beginning of the ending

I am still waiting for him to decide to run for a third term. And find myself reminiscing about 10 years ago when I thought, "The guy from the apprentice? Surely they won't nominate HIM. 'YOU'RE FIRED'? That will never happen."

Joke of the day:
What do you call a mouse that swears?

Yeah anyone that thinks that won't happen and there's no possible way is severely underestimating the shit show that we're in.

I figured it would be bad, but it's only day 5 I am gobsmacked by the amount of bullshit already. They are moving quickly, because they know the clock is ticking. They would also need to gain a 2/3 majority in the House and Senate in order to make an amendment, which is realistically the only way to add a third term within the rules. I would not put it past him to brush the rules aside and take it by force, if January 6 was any indication.

I also firmly believe the inflation we've seen is being caused by cryptocurrency. There's no regulation to stop them from creating currency out of thin air and injecting it into the economy. They had to scramble like mad just to figure out how to tax it. But there's no way he's going to stop that train from running off the rails, he invited the crypto bros to the party. Drilling oil to bring gas prices down won't solve inflation like he thinks it will. Prices will stay high and profits will go up.

But what the fuck do I know, I'm just a dude with a keyboard.

I'm not surprised it's happening, I'm just shocked at how QUICKLY it's happening. They are not fucking around.
