Precisely. D-day was a success. Sure, the boldness is inarguable, the planning, extraordinary, the dedication and bravery of the men, never duplicated. But we succeeded because of one simple thing. The Germans were afraid to wake up their God, Hitler, afraid to activate the Panzer divisions that could have stopped that invasion in its tracks.
That is where we are today with Trump. I mean maybe the Senate will hold him accountable, but I highly doubt it. They are so scared of pushback if they buck him. Thom Tillis, my senator, might be a prime example. He does push back, he has pushed back, and today an Op-ed was released. He is up for reelection in 2026 and he is probably toast. Won't survive a primary challenge, probably lose to Mark Robinson who was routed in the governor's election, mostly because he is crazier than a shithouse rat, but he bows to the almighty Trump.
Federalist paper 51, written by Madison. It clearly warns of this shit. And Hamilton, he did as well in additional correspondence. Maybe the first thing we need to do is require incoming members of Congress, and the Senate, to read all the Federalist papers, and write an essay on each one. I am willing to bet the vast majority have never read a single one.
Take the most recent news. Dr. Oz to head up the CMS. He wants to completely privatize Medicare, and supports a 20% Payroll tax to make it happen. Everyone goes to Medicare Advantage, and I am here to tell you, Medicare Advantage SUCKS. Slow pay or no pay, rural hospitals are quickly going out of business due to it. Networks, pre-approval, it is a terrible problem. The United States has the best health care system in the world, if you are healthy and don't need it. But everyone is eventually going to need it, don't kid yourself.
