2. I think this about that:

I think the Rethugs are getting a heads up so they can buy oil stock and probably others. In return, they keep mum on everything the Orange Bloat is doing. IOW, Orange Bloat is getting away with everything because the Rethugs are being bribed.

Let's give the Dems (except Fetterman) the benefit of the doubt. They may know what is going on, or speculate about it like I am, but I'm going to say unless I had proof positive, I do not believe they are being bribed. They don't have to be since they are not the majority party in Congress.

Also, with the exception of the Dems on the Supreme Court, it would not surprise me if they are getting bribed too. It's a shame because I used to think they were honest. Now I think many of them are a bunch of crooks.

On another note, I had dinner with friends tonight, and many of them think that Orange Bloat is trying to entice us into a civil war. They also think he has Might on his side, and that's what he is showing us with ICE, Cuba, Iran, Greenland, Venezuela, etc. He is saying no one can beat him.

OTOH, all this could be wrong. No matter what, this is not the country it was on the day Biden left office. I think it is pretty damned frightening.
