    soo… create a ‘sovereign wealth fund’ of incredibly unstable cryptocurrency but sell the actual stable values (land) to private entities so we can pay more to lease them than having value owning them.

    what a giant grift. who the fuck would possibly think this is in the nations best interest? where the fuck is congress?

      I really think congress is mostly a bunch of people who got into it on this power fantasy but mostly they all feel like they ‘made it’ and will only do enough to preserve what they have because they’re used to the cushy schedule and the VIP treatment and really don’t want to go back to the shithole they represent.

      Which in normal times, they’d probably get away with that, even the GOPers. But I can’t help but think that if they let Trump get too far some of them are going to have their backs against the wall too. It’s pretty easy to cross him and he gets crazier and has less impulse control with every passing moment.
