With this TV media celebrity POTUS obviously going to die on the job, is that why so many of his appointed Secretaries of State are also TV media celebrities rather than politicians or academics ? The possible Plan being that they can take up the MAGA mass manipulation slack after Trump’s demise and step into rôle of celebrities-in-chief ? Hollow theatrics rather than grounded governance as the corporate profiteers continue to rob all blind.
I hope you’re right about MAGA. I’m sure some might sigh with relief, and slink back toward what passes for reality, but there are way too many true believers there, and no one can predict how they will react, even their fellow fanatics.
This is one of the most powerful and chilling takes on this whole shitshow that is our current America. You've given us all a lot to think about Wendy.
My fear, reading the Big newsletter this AM by Matt Stoller, is how much the Silicon Valley oligarchs have figured out that they have enough money to pretty much invalidate the will of the people. From Musk's quarter of a billion investment in Comrade Trump, to the Crypto billionaires buying the regulators off, and how much money they have at hand, they can and will prop the couch fucker up, influence the MAGA-sphere, and be able to warp the election (however fair it might be) in 26 and 28.
I see a lot of people who are cocksure that Vance can't win, and I call bullshit. The MAGA crowd ain't going back under the bridges, they are out and proud.
As an aside, I am working my way through Rick Perlstein's latest "Reaganland" and a lot of how we are fucked as a society today came during the Carter administration, and that fucker Reagan had his grubby paws all over it with lots o' odious people.
Once again, you’ve done it. I will likely share. What do we do now? We definitely shouldn’t be sitting around twiddling whatever. Peaceful protests are nice until they bring out the assault rifles. Be ready, folks. It’s likely to get uglier and require some action. And remember, absolutely no one likes or trusts the inept, incompetent couchfucker.
You’re quite the wordsmith, Wendy. Beautifully written. Have no fear (or, perhaps, be fearful): Peter Thiel has everything worked out. His surrogate—who told us a few days ago that he’s ready to assume the presidency after 7 vacays in as many months—will succeed the despised would-be despot. Yes, fearful is probably the right emotion. Shady has zero charisma but all of the malice, and he’s itching to complete P25 and throw in the RockBridge Network’s agenda, too. But, after all of the best doctors at Walter Reed, much to our dismay, saved the Great Dicktator from the clutches of COVID, I have little doubt that he will once again disappoint millions by surviving whatever he’s suffering from that they’re not telling us about. Shady may take the reins temporarily under the 25A—or not. And…what about those Epstein files, anyway?
If Trump should die before I wake
GOD, please don't let the news be fake.
What comes next is the biggest threat: The sycophants of Project 2025.

Stinks of machiavelli Murdoch.
I’m, so you’re saying you want Trump to LIVE & kill democracy instead?
I hope you’re right about MAGA. I’m sure some might sigh with relief, and slink back toward what passes for reality, but there are way too many true believers there, and no one can predict how they will react, even their fellow fanatics.
Just an educated guess: he’s falling quite a bit now, with his obvious deteriorating gait, hence the forehead wound.
Watching the current interview as his press conference.

He looks not good. His skin is drooping. The back of his head looks damaged.
Hes shaking, and at times going off script.
its not great stuff.
He looks drugged.

Oh, my dearest darling Wendy, the writer of my dreams. Could we nominate you and Jeff for a joint Nobel Prize for Literature? And maybe Neil?

It really is going this way.

Thank you the kindness.
Damn Wendy! I don’t know if I had a panic attack reading this or a psychic vision but yikes 😬
Hes, dying, we all know it, we are just watching it happen.
Wish it would happen faster.

It’s working. I enjoy your use of metaphors. Keep it up!
You do me credit. I just get super angry most of the time and then go metaphor crazy while doing it.
That was disturbing Wendy. You are doing yeoman's work and I'm grateful to have encountered your substack and read your awesome prose.
It is disturbing. See the update article (hit refresh). Ive been predicting this stuff for a while now.
JD Vance …..
JD the Jr VD will faceplant. Then what? That's the scary part.
Then demigod Thiel will rise from the ashes and bring us all to cyber perfection…
And we can ALL have a girlfren too?
