Trump’s officials are quietly concerned about his “blatant criminal behavior.” What took them so long?

It is time to stop examining the chaos and time to do something about it.

I have a source inside the Trump regime who feels, in their own words, “a little disillusioned.” This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,” but is now concerned about the “blatant criminal behavior” of Donald Trump. Really? His last administration didn’t show you that? Well, OK.

This source first approached me by saying, “I can provide you bonafides to show you I’m serious.” That impressed me because I didn’t think many people inside the Trump regime knew what bonafides were, let alone how to be serious.

This source’s concerns about Trump are indeed legitimate, and deserve to be heard. “Not all of us are buying everything he says,” this person told me. “We understand the problem, but we see no solution. You guys in the press, with very few exceptions, are not trustworthy. Congress can’t be trusted and the judiciary so far hasn’t been able to stop him.”

    The “I” in DEI is literally “Inclusion”. Nothing more divisive than inclusion, surely.

      Gotta love how “divisive” is always a dog whistle for “how dare you do anything that would question our authoritarianism.”

      • Diversity: No, no, no! We can’t have that. Obscenely wealthy, white, male, cis, hetero, neurotypical, Christian nationalist, Republicans only. Diversity means giving others a voice, and letting them have a voice means we lose power… unacceptable.
      • Equity: Absolutely not. Neoliberalism demands that anything someone does or create belongs to their corporate liege-lords. You will rent and subscribe to everything you need to survive. You will own NOTHING. Even your taxes will be funneled to the wealthy so that you will get nothing in return. No equity. You are serfs. We OWN you.
      • Inclusion: If you aren’t an obscenely wealthy, white, male, cis, hetero, neurotypical, Christian nationalist Republican who has the desire and means to cheat, steal, and destroy so that the club can amass even more wealth and power, then you shall not be included. You can still white knight for that behavior, we like that, encourage it even, but you still will never be included. It’s a small club, and you ain’t in it.
