I mean, I know this, whatever, this is just me going off for a second, but I just want to say this.

Like, I think people think of the United States as just a democracy, just a Western democracy,

and they don't understand that like we live in the Imperial Corps, that like we live in the center of Vidal,

and in 2000, there was like a judicial coup to instate a president that then, like, led to an expanded security state,

and expanded plunder, both private and for the US government in particular, for 25 years.

Yeah.

20 years, you know what I mean? So like, it's just really important to understand like that little part of the story,

because you know, we really haven't talked about Cheney, we haven't talked about Rumsfeld,

but like these guys are serious dudes.

Yeah.

Like for as much shit as we talk about the like insane cast of like, like in a lot of ways,

like I was joking with a friend that like the Trump admin feels a lot like a weird, like, you know,

like when a sitcom does like 20 years later, and they have like a reunion schedule.

It's like a sign felt reunion on curb your enthusiasm.

Yeah, but it's all like weird people from different seasons.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Totally makes sense.

Like that's kind of like the Trump admin feels like a real like, Hodgepodge of all of these people that kind of like don't fit together.

Like Roger Stone's back.

You're like, how could like, there's absolutely no logical way for like John Bolton and Roger Stone to exist in the same group?

Well, they grew.

But that's my point. You know what I mean? And so it's like all these people just kind of like throwing shit at the walls
