It Is The Benjamins. It Is Always The Benjamins [1]

The Roman Emperor Caligula, displeased with an already servile Senate, supposedly threatened to appoint his favorite horse, Incitatus, to the office of Counsul . The Senate opposition evaporated. *
Trump today is Incitatus to Emperor Musk.
All the DOGE nonsense is merely an overt raid on the public coffers by a man for whom too much is never close to enough. Musk will never willingly slow down much less stop of his own accord. Trump is handling internal dissent in the Homeland by creating chaos and violating laws with gleeful abandon. Trump gets to indulge his ego while Musk grabs the loot
The Emperor and his stooge have run unchecked for two weeks. Left unopposed our nation will be unrecognizable in two months. Which is about the time it took Hitler to fully consolidate power
Institutional Ds are missing from action, apparently already surrendering except those complicit in the destruction.
There is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Whatever Citizens do or don't we recognize this is for all the marbles.
Citizens may contribute in their own way according to their abilities and resources. But none get to sit this one out.
Which side are YOU on?
* Fable or not Caligula was indeed assassinated about 18 months later. The Praetorian Guard installed someone else as Emperor.
The Senate remained servile. The demos? Who cared?
