Hey Murkowski — I hear that you agreed to vote for the BB Bill in exchange for Trump sparing Alaska from some of the fallout; hospital closures and such.
What makes you think he’ll keep his promise?
He is a serial liar. He stiffs his creditors and insults any who complain. He goes on camera and throws people under the bus — “I didn’t really know him/her/them.” Why do you think he’s not going to screw you over, then insult you?
Same thing for the congressmen who said they voted yes after seeing some upcoming executive orders Trump is going to sign. What if he changes his mind? What if he decides that its better for you to take the fall than him? What will you do then — complain? Do you think anyone will care?
Trump doesn’t need any of you anymore, really. Why should he carry out his bribes?
Hey Evangelists — how do you know The Rapture hasn’t already occurred? There are so few people following the real Christ’s teachings that their disappearance would probably go unnoticed.
By the way, have you given any thought to the Afterlife? Its ok down here to worship Supply-Side Jesus, but I doubt your invented savior has a real Heaven for you to go to.
Hey, billionaires — any thoughts for the future, now that Elon has given up trying to create a Mars colony where you could go and live after Earth is ruined?
Yeah, I know a lot of you are in guarded communities, and that what’s-his-name is building a bunker in Hawaii, but the thing about those bunkers and fortresses is that they hem you in. There’s a lot of activities and projects you can’t do in a bunker, and you never get to, you know, travel.
Put bluntly, they PREVENT you from doing things you might want, and the one constant in America up to now has been that Nobody and Nothing prevents a rich man from doing whatever he wants. So, what are your plans for getting around these restrictions? What happens to the next guy who wants to get married in Venice, but can’t?
And while I’ve got your attention, have you found a defense against Trump’s power?
Hey, Zuckerberg — you have two things Trump wants — Facebook and $billions! What if he decides to simply take them? He’s done things more outrageous, and most of his Base would probably applaud. He can probably get back a lot of his popularity by looting the 33 ultra-rich. He’d definitely enjoy being The Richest Man Who Ever Lived. Nobody has stopped him from doing whatever her wants as of yet. He will soon have control of the military and the courts.
What will you do if in a few months he announces on Truth Social that your name is too Jewish, Facebook needs to become nationalized, and that there’s a place in El Salvador waiting for you? Do you think you’re immune? If so, I’d like you to meet a Russian oil exec, with KGB connections, no less, who just fell to his death. By accident.
Really.
