The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

So.. to recap … government waste and fraud was caused by transnational gangs and organized crime syndicates, never by ordinary Americans or undocumented residents. Our government was kept underfunded/staffed and couldn’t upgrade systems. Doge is not targeting this fraud. No one is. Still. #60Minutes

Pondering.. if the goal is to reduce the cost of government .. when do the US taxpayers benefit from what we continue to pay for? What is the longterm goal for our money? What is our ROI (return on investment)? Personally, I’m looking for some universal things. Lots of universal things.

So… working class voters includes black working class voters, right? Because you just made a distinction between working class and black voters who are the backbone of the Democratic Party. This is a massively important nuance that y’all need to figure out how to describe better.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

“When our days become dreary with low hovering clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic mountains of evil. A power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.”
