NOT the person using this handle on Substack. Eisenhower Republican (which is to say NOT a Republican — or Democrat — at all). Ain't no cavalry comin'. From now on, we're each on our own, and Alferd E. Packer awaits us in the wilderness.

The 401(k) replaced pensions in the 80's. Now, the biggest voting block is ages 45+, with median savings ranging from $144K to $200K, not including house values. "Tax the Rich" won't work because those folks think THEY are rich.

$276 million to a trillionaire is a tiny fraction of a penny for a person making $100K/year.

Stop with the Blue Wave polling. You’ll just make blue voters stay home.

Here's an idea: All CBP/ICE agents (including those already hired) must pass the same tests required for naturalization: 1. Reading English test 2. Writing English test 3. Civics test (2025 version).

300,000 metric tons of diesel — while the U.S. EXPORTS 175,000 metric tons of diesel every day.

Hmmm. If our bases were destroyed in the first days of the war, what does that say about our planning — not only planning about this war, but planning about base location and defensive capabilities?

Every Republican would PRAISE his technique? Yes, then they'd COPY it. It ain't Trump's ass they've been kissing.

Republicans aren't rolling over for their cult leader, they're rolling over for their corporate donor class, just like the Democrats do. Do you have to be reminded that your husband and you ushered neoliberalism into your party?

We know two things: 1. Trump isn't smart enough to conjure these plots. 2. These people have been at this since the 70's. "Justice" Louis Powell, Paul Weyrich, the Heritage Foundation, ALEC (I bet that's the rat reservoir), etc., and the Dems knew about them, kept quiet, and birthed neoliberalism.

Of course. But who? Names! In the regime, or yet-unnamed satellite corporatist law firms? Find me a modern-day Jack Anderson with a rat terrier with keen instincts and a quick nose over a strong jaw!

As the Times points out, the deal was concocted by Kushner and Witkoff, involves Arabs and Trump and his regime taking a stake in Lukoil's means of production (and he calls Dems "communists"). www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/w...

The Dems never tried to create anything similar for the same reason they turned neoliberal: the Donor Class. Trouble was/is, the conservative donor class took the Powell Memo seriously, funded the Heritage Foundation and co-opted the Evangelicals.

Fun fact: MAGAts are only about 30% of the electorate. What put the Trump regime in power were the folks who just wanted cheaper Fritos and believed Republican bullshit.

Xavier Onassis @xavieronassis.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
The Trump regime, as it has with 30+ companies, would take a 15% control of the means of production of Russian oil fields and refineries. That's the DEFINITION of communism! www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/w...

In Trump’s Russian Oil Deal, Middle East Funds Are the Biggest Owners
A majority of ownership in a proposed multibillion-dollar deal would go to a group of Middle Eastern investors, including some with business ties to U.S. negotiators.

Yup. Mississippi had Democrats in Congress until the Dixiecrats turned Republican and managed to replace John Stennis, who'd retired in '89 after 40 years in the job.

Dictator, oligarch, whatever. But it ain't just Trump. And when he's gone and we're all drinking champagne and pissing on his grave, the corporatist white "Christian" nationalists will still be running things, while we bitch about the price of gas and Fritos.

First of all, Trump SAYS he's going to pay for a LOT of stuff, but nobody's ever seen receipts. He's a liar. Second, the Federal Elections Commission has no quorum, so it can't enforce anything. Russell Vought stole the money from other accounts to pay for the ads.

Goddamn right we're anti-fascists — just like "the Greatest Generation." The regime didn't build those concentration camps for pre-deportation detention, they built ’em for US.

"Armor of God"? Your god wouldn't need armor if Allah wasn't been kicking his ass all over the Arabian peninsula. Grab a Tab, take some T, grow some grapes and fight naked like the Celts did, Mr. Warrior. Maybe don't fire the guys who were graduated from Army War College.

Because Kentucky and Tennessee distillers are butthurt, and don't want the Canadians to dip into the U.S. market any further than they already have. It wasn't enough that Trump put tariffs on Canadian booze.

I have no hope for reform of the feckless, cryptorchid neoliberal Democrat party that sold itself to its donor class long ago — and now the donor class has abandoned them. Meanwhile, they sold out Al Franken, Graham Platner and others, just to keep their jobs and the jobs of their consultants.

Close proximity to The Consultants is the reason Democrats are despised as much as Trump, the reason their "war chest" is depleted. We may as well just give our money to The Consultants and pollsters, by-pass the middlemen and elect AI-created holograms.
