I Think it's Happening; The Collapse [View all]

This disastrous Musk interview will accelerate things, I think it’s an inflection point. The media can’t ignore it any longer. USA Today is publishing scathing ridicule of Trump. Once the story becomes Trumps fitness, and he’s subjected to incessant ridicule, it’s over for him. That’s now becoming the story and the zeitgeist. Pedal to the metal folks. Time to toss some Acme anvils.

That’s all folks!
