David, the problem is the Republicans hold all three branches of the Federal Government while the Republicans are all in lockstep as a block unwilling to defy Trump.

The Republicans also have far greater wealth.

Mass media as well as all businesses won’t risk Trump’s ire and will continue to walk in lockstep with any and all his demands. We have an autocracy now aligned with great wealth, great power a fully aligned media in support of Trump. Heil Trump!

Did you see that the Washington Post Editorial Board, as reappointed by Bezos, has come out endorsing DOGE? Disgraceful that this is now the state of our national media. Anyway, I'm glad that the Border Chronicle is able to function independently and report on what's really happening.

I hadn't seen that. Ugh, that's terrible. There are some great journalists at the Washington Post. Hopefully a nonprofit consortium or other entity can buy the Post.

We are marching in lockstep with the authoritarian Trump Regime as long engineered by Putin. There is no doubt that Trump has been a Russian Asset for many years. Trump as many narcissists are, is all to easy a mark. Problem remains The Republican Party fell flat upon its face both licking both Trump and Putin. History will not be kind to either Trump or the GOP!
