tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 22/04/2026For years, beginning in New York in the 70s, I’ve considered Trump nothing but an incompetent and corrupt buffoon. It’s only been during this second term as president that it’s struck me: His true genius IS his corruption. 120

tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 16/10/20254/4 Meanwhile, the Congressional Democrats squeak away about one pathetic message that, however important in normal times, is simply not the one for this mortal moment for our Democracy. 000
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 16/10/20253/4 It seems more than likely the House will not return to the 119th Congress for months, if ever. Forget any back to business as usual, let alone the sad, desperate clamor for the Epstein files. This inaction has been, and will continue to be, the sole point of the shutdown. 100

tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 16/10/20252/4 All should now be waking to the possibility that this shutdown gives Trump the opportunity to take full control, through the compliance of the least capable House Speaker in our history, of the governmental powers of the purse, forever silencing the most important power of Congress. 200
tkrontir.bsky.social @tkrontir.bsky.social · 16/10/20251/4 I fear Democrats and the progressive commentariat have fatally misread the intentions of Trump and the House Republicans during the run-up and run-on of this government shutdown. 110
