Typically I would agree.

Biden and Bush were nearly identical.

But this time around, things seem a bit more 'near the end'. The president is taking jumbo jet sized bribes, manipulating markets. Literally doing more self harm than an enemy agent could ever accomplish. Like the country could really collapse any day.

Forget free speech. I literally am a little scared just posting here. People are being rounded up. Even with a fake name, I'm sure Palantir can put the pieces together.

Yeah, shitcoins and fake product launches are new territory. Some of the others were a little more circumspect in graft or more likely it was others driving the larger graft to more careful benefactors. This Iran tarpit really blew open the reality of Trump the man: he is a sock puppet, and I think his graft is probably something like an O(1) problem while the republic faces an O(n^m) problem including unmitigated foreign influence.

It makes me ponder an interesting philosophical question about raking a pyramid scheme along proximal real vs perceived valuation. I guess the damage is all the same, but things get more flagrant the longer it goes on.
