testing the power of the executive branch, which is basically rule by decree. He's not unique, but where he's different is that his decrees look as if he wants them to be taken as permanent US policy--which requires congressional approval via legislative
act.Before he was inaugurated for his 2nd term, I got to thinking about what I might need to be aware of as plausible possibilities I'd need to prepare for. So my thinking was, given having observed Trump since 2016, was that he is more likely than not
to resist surrendering the presidency at the end of his term in 2028. If so, what might I look for as indicators that I need to be properly positioned, as best I can.He'd need the backing of the military, so I'd need to look for some form of changes in
the upper command structure, installing people who might be loyal to him, personally. He might also grant special favors/benefits to members of the military--Roman style.So far I've seen him install a new chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and a Sec
of Defense. I don't know the specifics of how deep their loyalty may be, but am guessing it's significant because he'd install other who *are* close to him instead of the two people he has now. He is defending Hegseth against charges of incompetence (and
he's either incompetent or stubbornly intransigent--and I think this demonstrates that Trump wants this particular guy in place, in spite of the political embarrassment.One might also read Trump's purge of the military of any trans people as dumping
those in the military most likely to oppose him in case of a showdown. Too early to tell, but...The next big thing besides cultivating military favor is if he would simply ignore court orders that he didn't like. He has indeed done that, and by having
the FBI today arrest a judge who is obviously opposed to Trump's immigration policies, he's not only ignoring court orders, but has taken the first step in actively intimidating the judiciary.It's getting possible to picture nervous progressive judges
now wondering if the FBI will arrest them in their homes at 3 AM, frogmarch them, hooded, into a military aircraft, then send them to El Salvador for imprisonment and other festivities.Multiculturalism, indeed...Now, there are those here in the US who
like to posture as concerned morally outraged citizens by claiming that US democracy is in danger; the founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves. This is disingenuous because the representative democracy they set up has eroded from a sort of
limited electoral suffrage (property holders, etc., and by no means the landless, or non-citizens) to an uncontrolled, unaccountable rabble, like French peasants being led by Robespierre.So, yep, things are changing--basically this means I need to learn
new rules of survival/success--but let's not kid ourselves that we're losing a functioning democracy. We're maybe going to lose a system based on recognition of popular acclaim (or whimsy), and replace it with a more centralized authoritarian system that
will need to make up rules as it goes along--again, making it inconvenient for people like me because things are less predictable.Ultimately it make not work, at all, but I expect that any major national collapse will happen after I'm gone. But maybe not.
..maybe no collapse, or an earlier collapse.



If you were wise you'd want all the fun to happen *before* you're gone.


Now jokes aside, clearly I support his actions in this case as he's reclaiming power from those who are unelected.

Little bit of intimidating is always welcome.

Nonsense. Judge Dugan was elected.

Little bit of intimidating is always welcome.

See? This is all new ground for the US, at least within my lifetime, and
it causes these market fluctuations, and of course these make me nervous.

All Trump has done so far is give a bunch of ridiculous executive orders and then mostly walked them back. Amateur hour. Not to say serious damage can't be done, or hasn't been done already. To both the country and the world.

...but not *too* nervous.

If I could have everything the way I'd want it, given I'm in a complex >society, I'd like to be left the fuck alone (and be able to count on it)
and then to maximize asset accumulation, preferably in secret.

Really...is that too much to ask?... ;^)

Good to hear from you, b!

You'll be pleased to hear that most of my money has come back to
me

That's good. Mine too.

...but who wants to live like that, huh? ;^)

Unless there's some bigger plan (doubtful) I'd rather not repeat this little episode :-)
