Haha, this is a big FU to Trump: Harvard have made a lot of courses on US government free online. Remarkable really when sharing knowledge is seen as an act of defiance.

For the indoctrination. You know that's what Trump rallies are for, right? Gullible tools turn up to celebrate their hero and get their indoctrination topped up.

How Trump’s megabill transfers wealth in the US
Low-income Americans will feel the effect of changes to aid programs, while the wealthy will see most of the windfall from tax cuts, according to multiple assessments.
The Congressional Budget Office’s initial estimates found that the package’s tax measures would increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion over a decade, while other provisions would cut nearly $1 trillion in federal support for Medicaid and food stamps over that period.
Medicaid, which provides health insurance to low-income Americans, would face the largest cuts in the package, with CBO projecting a nearly $700 billion reduction in federal spending. Meanwhile, food stamps, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, would face a $267 billion cut in federal support.
The bill would also increase spending for defense, immigration enforcement and homeland security, while pulling back on federal spending in some other areas.
Overall, the bill would add $3.1 trillion to the nation’s debt, including interest, over the next decade, according to an early independent analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

I wonder how long the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget will have to wait for a lawsuit trying to close them down. How dare they do the math!

...and that's the very sterile summary.
Project 2025 is putting power in the hands of the billionaires whilst dismantling the structures of accountability and therefore democracy. I fear that there won't be an infrastructure in place to prosecute corruption, vested interest, multiple breaches of the constitution etc. I am starting to believe that Trump and his lot are not concerned about what are ostensibly criminal acts because the judiciary and the agencies that deliver accountability will be made toothless and simply be the agencies of manipulation.
I cannot and do not believe that there are no government advisors saying that what they are doing is both unconstitutional and often illegal. However, I do believe that there are people who are saying that it won't matter because it won't be too long before power is wrestled from the people and their representatives.
Bondi, Leavitt, Noem, Lutnik, Vance, Miller, Patel, Hegseth et al just do not care about their actions as long as they are getting paid.
Watch Forbes Breaking News on YT and the congressional hearings. Noem did not know what Habeus corpus meant. Patel is an out and out liar. These people got grilled and shredded and in any 'normal' proceedings, would have resigned on the back of their lack of accountability and blatant incompetence. They are either thick puppets or they feel like they have some sort of immunity.
If it's the latter, why?
Trump doesn't want to simply be the centre of attention. This is, I feel, naïve. It's all about swamping the courts, the press, due process, agencies, the judiciary etc. Effectively overwhelming the agencies of accountability so that they can do what they like.

Kimmel is good. So is Jon Stewart.
Do you really thing anybody else is interested in what some unknown people posts on Twitter.
And if they were don't you think they'd be looking on Twitter themselves.
Be a tiny bit considerate and stop destroying sensible discussions clogging them with irrelevant twaddle.
Or maybe you just don't consider everybody else and it's all about you.

Process people have predicted would happen and quite a few reports of it goping on and another, And I think Brazil is a significant one to move in the reported direction

Trump does seem to be driving many countries into the influence of China, long term doing imense damage to the interests of the US.
