In functional systems, loyalty flows to rules. That’s how trust is built.

In narcissistic systems, rules bend to loyalty. And once that happens, fairness erodes, accountability fades, and everyone can feel the shift.

Dear Senator;

When is the Epstein administration going to release the rest of the Trump files?

When executive behavior feels unpredictable and Congress as well as the courts don’t visibly enforce limits, the line between “unthinkable” and “plausible” starts to blur.

A republic doesn’t collapse from tests of power. It weakens when those tests go unanswered. Accountability must be seen to hold

When mass shootings are instantly politicized (facts distorted, motives invented) silence leaves a vacuum that lies rush to fill.

A healthy republic mourns together and debates policy seriously, not opportunistically.

If we exploit horror for gain we erode our humanity and decency itself.

Half of my political activity at this point is defending the tenants of liberalism, an ideology which is not my own, from technocrats and authoritarians who call themselves liberals

Why are Democrats defending Orwellian authoritarianism and economics that Adam Smith would have considered feudal

That clarity can feel “brutal,” but it comes from hard memory: fascism rarely calls itself fascism. It arrives as restoration, strength, order.

Its grotesque nature isn’t only violence. it is the slow moral corrosion, the quiet way ordinary people learn to accept the unacceptable.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration.

Automatic Sanctions on Executive Overreach

If an administration takes military action without clear congressional authorization, or uses the tools of the state to threaten political rivals, automatic consequences should trigger; that can only be removed by 2/3 vote of the senate.

Term Limits

Not just for presidents, but for all branches where prolonged tenure can calcify power and weaken accountability.

Money in Politics

We need amendments or reforms that remove excessive financial influence; not by ideology, but by ensuring political power isn’t bought.

A Republican joining Democrats to limit presidential pardon power isn’t theater, it’s structural repair. The Constitution relies heavily on norms. When norms fracture, we don’t panic; we reinforce the architecture. Pardons are one lever, but the principle of constraint must go further…

“Small government” became “selective government.”

Not less power.
Different targets.

Freedom survived as a slogan but in practice it feels increasingly conditional. And when liberty depends on who you are or what you believe, it isn’t really liberty at all.

Problem inflation → Public fear → Emergency framing → Expanded authority.

This pattern should concern us. A republic depends on proportional response. If violations are limited, policy must reflect reality, not the emotions around it.

When government response outpaces evidence, liberty contracts.

‘Residential protesting’ could be a crime in Minnesota under new GOP proposal A bill that’s backed by a coalition of GOP lawmakers set to be proposed at the start of the upcoming session would make “residential protesting" punishable under Minnesota law.

Two dozen GOP lawmakers in Minnesota want to make "residential protesting" against the law. I hope, after all Minnesotans have been through fighting off federal government brutality, that these GOP lawmakers are out of a job at the next election.

In a republic, peaceful assembly isn’t about convenience. It’s a check on power. When laws target where you can protest, it chills dissent. Restricting place becomes restricting voice. And that should unsettle anyone who values liberty, because ultimately it’s shaping who feels safe to speak at all.

When media bends, it’s rarely mind control. It’s incentives...

Fear.
Access.
Profit.
Regulation.

That’s what makes it more unsettling.

Fix the incentives. Protect the newsroom firewall. Demand courage from institutions.

A republic can survive bad coverage.
It cannot survive quiet capture.

CBS is officially over the air state media.

It’s FOX News or NEWSMAX without needing a cable subscription.

A pillar of American journalism has fallen and become a propaganda arm of the regime, and outside of us terminally online, I’m not sure “normies” even realize it.

To me, that’s frightening.

When corporate media (CBS) bends to political or regulatory pressure, it not only suppresses speech, it signals that structural incentives matter more than the public’s right to hear diverse views, which undermines both accountability and trust.

Post by Donald Trump which reads He who saves his Country does not violate any laws.

Thanks Dude!
We know that you have your minions trolling through social media looking for those critical of the admin (1A) & who gather in protest (1A) as well as those who honor their oaths to defend the Constitution.
We do it to save our country.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Corporate fallout (executive resignations) shows norms still bite. It should be matched with balanced institutional accountability in governance, not just data dumps or whisper politics.

ICE detention camps have always been a moral stain on this country.

They have always been a testament to our worst impulses and cruelties.

Absolutely this!! They think that if they do things then others must. Hence telling DOJ to drill into mortgages of his targets, etc. ‘everybody does it’. Narcissists think everyone is like them. Altruism is a foreign concept.

A few people spending zero is a signal, but broad, modest reductions by many are more powerful.

If millions simply reduce spending, reallocating capital toward community, workers, and local enterprise, then markets shift.

Coordination doesn’t require perfection it requires participation.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Low approval doesn’t create new options. It often means voters dislike their party but fear the other more.

That’s not just absurd, it’s how the incentives work.

Without changing the rules, frustration just flows back into the same two parties.

Together, the public has real economic leverage. We just rarely use it in a coordinated way.

“Seemingly” is carrying the whole sentence.

Bondi when…
Pushed on process, points to something else…
Pressed on facts, attacks the questioner…
Structural accountability is demanded, retreats into identity politics.

In a republic, evasive rhetoric is a symptom of a system under strain, not a defense of it.

Truth cannot be optional.

Re: Nick Shirley’s big California *expose*

No pardons for crimes involving the executive branch itself: campaign finance, obstruction, abuse of office. You cannot investigate yourself and then forgive yourself. That’s monarchy, not law.
