President Donald Trump’s move to demolish part of the White House to make way for a $250 million ballroom is eliciting outrage and calls for more oversight before any further changes are made. (POLITICO)
If ya ask me, and even if ya don’t, I will tell you that a significant part of why the Republicans are willing to keep the Government shutdown is because their Fuhrer Trump wants to continue to dictate the rules of the game, and to complete his dismantlement of any potential “checks and balances” to offset Executive Branch powers. Trump’s march to the position of Führer can only succeed if he is the sole authority to play judge, jury, and executioner.
Trump has already demolished the Constitution; he is well on his way to destroying Voting Rights, he has initiated his own Secret police, ICE, and he has demolished and weaponized the DOJ. Freedom of the Press is limping along, and the entire idea of free speech is now a muffled scream. With the government shut down, Trump can be Dear Leader, Chairman, Dictator, and, as mentioned before, Führer.
But if you ask me, and even if you don’t, I will add the following fact: why I believe Trump wants to keep the government shut down, and that his most crucial rationale is to keep the Epstein Files closed, never to be seen again. Yes, with the ass lickers in the Republican Congress, and the ass wipes of the Heritage Foundation Supreme Court, Trump has been able to run things his way, but keeping the government closed leaves him with little to no opposition to become the all-powerful OZ.
