The Zelenskyy Thing Is Simpler Than People Are Making It

1 month ago | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

Sure Trump and Vance were looking for reasons to hate on Ukraine’s president.
“Why Can’t I Do That Too?”

2 months ago | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

The fallout of Trump taking everything into his own hands and facing and heeding no legal repurcussions because no one in federal law enforcement is going to come after him, is going to be ugly as hell. Add Elon Musk to that too. And maybe dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands of others that we already know about, and may be impossible to do anything about if no one is going to investigate and prosecute them.
This Is Demolition, Pure And Simple

Let’s agree for one moment that USAID spent some of its money wastefully. The opposite is not committing negligent homicide on poor people all over the world. Let’s agree for one moment that banks are overregulated. (Even though every time in over a century they’ve been under regulated, they’ve gotten greedy and crashed the economy!) The opposite is not no regulation. To the point at which it instantly threatens the life savings of every middle-class American.
Federal Employees: It’s A Trap!

2 months ago | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

Don’t fall for it!Trump’s supposedly offering pretty much all federal employees a generous severance package if they indicate within the next week that they’re willing or want to leave. And to that end, the White House has sent them all an email offering a “deal”. White House HR is calling it a “Fork in the Road.”But it’s not real.
Trump Is Running The US Like He Runs His Businesses

2 months ago | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

So why does him cutting off all funding to virtually all research and aid programs surprise anybody? His supporters aren’t surprised. They say he’s kicking ass. And we don’t know if Trump not paying the US’ bills is going to be permanent, but let’s say for the most part it is, or brings with it huge risks for the managers and recipients of those funds in the future–be they American or not–that didn’t exist until now.
Public Schools Do Not Teach Atheism!

2 months ago | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

But listen closely, because the ridiculous argument that public schools teach kids to be atheists is well on its way to the Supreme Court, with the objective being to tear down the firewall between church and state, or more specifically between Christianity and state.
Trump’s Presidency Is Not In Any Way Conventional

Jan 21, 2025 | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

For instance:From Politico: “And starting at noon Eastern time Monday, Trump was considerably less constrained than he has ever been politically, given he’s now a term-limited president.” Really? He’s term limited? Hahaha.
Here Are 2 Obvious Truths Nobody Is Saying

Jan 13, 2025 | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

While everybody spouts a lot of nonsenseRepublicans are going so hard on the LA fires and Democratic leadership in California because they think it could win them the state. That’s why. Opportunitism. Nothing to do with anything else. And if that happens, game over. Forever. No more worrying about the Midwest. Will it work? Who knows? Ted Cruz taking off on a Caribbean vacation during a major natural disaster in Texas didn’t cost him his Senate seat.
Musk Triggered “Foreign Worker Brawl” Is A Feature, Not a Bug

Dec 28, 2024 | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

So, really, it’s non-story the likes of which we haven’t seen in a long timeBeware slow media cycles where news outlets are bored so they start ascribing rabid emotions and crap like that to basically same-old. And yes, batpoop crazy is just same-old for Trumpland. Really nothing to see vis-a-vis Trump/MAGA/Musk. Trump continues to despise Musk privately but knows he owes him. Musk continues to find running the country a source of personal amusement.
One Final Reason Why Trump Isn’t “Better For The Economy”

Nov 15, 2024 | thechaosreport.com | Eric J Scholl

I know y’all already voted, so it’s too late to change anybody’s mind. If I ever was going to. But I went to a conference today hosted by an investment fund that is all in on Elon Musk. Musk was supposed to participate, but didn’t. So I started thinking about everything. And yeah, I get that:Corporations think they’re over-regulated, especially ones that want to shoot rockets into the sky all the time.
