I could use some perspective on what our world would look and function like if the R's got everything they either profess to want or allow to happen under the Trump regime, and afterward he's gone. Specifically analysis if they'd like to live in the world they're trying to create. Any clues?

Huh, I guess the whole strategy of cable news outlets not asking the Trump White House hard questions and failing to push back on weak answers in order to preserve their access to the Trump White House wasn't much of a great strategy.

Are there efforts underway to collate all of the Trump regime outrages and follow-on effects since January 2025 in some kind of mind map or database tool, with embedded links to the sources and collecting all the mentions, discussions and analysis together into some kind of heat map? Wud be useful.

Four years ago, Biden gave a speech warning about the dangers to democracy and the networks refused to air it because it was "political." I wonder if Trump making a partisan case for relitigating the 2020 election and calling for his political opponents to be jailed is going to be "political" too?
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
While broadcasters typically air a prime-time address by the president, they determined that this speech was more ‘political’ than newsworthy for live coverage

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Well, Mac, I think that's probably because at 200 decibels, sound is no longer sound, but instead becomes a shock wave. So while you *could* have an emergency siren with a hypothetical volume of 194 decibels, the loudest possible sound in the atmosphere, it would be the *cause* of the emergency.
Amazon review by "Mac":

Decent for under 3 acres. Go professional for bigger land area.
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2026

They really need to start making these sirens with a simple charger and on off switch. Your basically gotta buy a car battery to operate this and it tops out at 121db, not 130. I measured the frequency. They make women's personal pocket Keychain alarms with 130db.
Why can't a huge weather warning siren hit at least 200db? More importantly, Why not an operator switch? Besides operation though it does produce a clean, crisp sound that emits enough to be clearly heard from 2 acres away. If you live on a normal middle class property or own a few acres, this is a good setup for your shed or barn. If you own real land this is worthless. Buy the professional sirens. Pay the money. Its worth it to warn yourself and your family in a real emergency.
