Trump: $4.2B

Joe Biden: $100M

Barack Obama: $1.6M

George W. Bush: $3.2M

So before you thank the president for not taking a salary, recognize the facts.

I haven't heard the term antitrust, in nearly ~25 years - when it was in vogue and there was a movie, by the same name.

Since then, however, the guard-rails have been systematically removed. We truly live in an age of crony capitalism, where pay-to-win within policy and government is the norm. Just look at the Trump Gold Card, or TrumpRx.gov, for instance. Yes... you've read that right: TrumpRx.gov. This means that Trump is using the federal .gov Top Level Domain, which is reserved for governmental use. This obviously goes against the emoluments clause, of a president to not make money off of their position as an appointed federal official.

And yet, Trump has for years been saying, he's going to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. Now he has teed-up for 2028, to issue a blanket 100% tariff for all imported medication (which is nearly all of it). Do you see where I'm going with this?

Weakening Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and all entitlement programs, opens up the possibility of privatizing all of these socialist programs. Similarly, the war in Iran isn't so much about the story and what he and his regime has to say about it; instead, it has more has to do with oil and how he - much like Venezuela, can control it.

This should be alarming to Americans for a litany of reasons. Not only do we have a government captured: save for individual state's autonomy, lower courts, we the people choosing to not offer our inferred consent, and selectively the actions of military members and them upholding their oath to the constitution. They have SCOTUS, the DOJ, congressional majority, and the records on all of us - exfiltrated from the IRS, thanks to Elon. Likewise, this administration probably intends on using this same information, along with the ballots in 4/5 swing states, to interfere in the upcoming 2026 mid-terms. Additionally, we already know that the Trump-regime previously worked with Cambridge Analytica, in the digital-space to influence voting behavior in the 2016 presidential election. Moreover, Elon assisted between obtaining access to the voting tabulation computers, "helped individuals in swing states register to vote" while harvesting PII, and contributed some 250M+ in ads and canvasing to net a win for Trump in the 2024 election. Collectively, you must recognize when presidential elections are tight races. In the past 5 presidential elections, the difference came down to in 2008 9.5M vote difference (7.2%) and 2.28M in 2024 (1.5%) of difference in votes between winner and loser in these presidential runoffs.

That's not even beginning to mention the litany of 20+ other gambits they are actively pursuing, no one is talking about, and we're only 4 months away from the 2026-midterms. I hope to elucidate and raise awareness to the public that unfortunately, ever since the SCOTUS decision on Citizens United (2010), we have lost our democracy to to the ultra-wealthy. They have changed the rules, and ever since FDR taxed the rich upwards of 95% - which lead to the rise of the middle class, post WWII - the ultra-wealthy "old money" and "new money" have been fighting viciously to claw it back. Likewise, this is also why the wage gap decoupled from productivity between 1973-1979, and wages have not remained in-line to the associated reward of "trickle down economics". Now we live in an age of "siphon up" economics, especially with monopolies Blackrock. This better explains why the wealthy and those after becoming wealthy, often set their sights on the government, through: governmental contracts, and shape governmental policy in their favor - avoiding paying taxes and leaving the bill to hard-working Americans. Likewise, because of the lack of taxation, we are the ones subsidizing the roads (commerce), the electrical grid (data centers), and a myriad of other infrastructure.

Finally, when it does come to taxation and Trump's supposed "tax breaks" for hard-working Americans, in 2017 - while the law did offer some temporary relief for a 5 year period to Americans, lowering the corporate taxation was what the law was really about. Additionally, the more recent cuts to taxation likewise disproportionately benefitted the rich, yet again - with only offering a meager relief of "no taxation on tips". Thus, a rekurrent pattern emerges.

This is very much par for the course. The Trump administration actively admitted in federal court, that it punished any states that voted blue in the 2024 midterms.

These are exactly the kind of abuses and over-reach of federal power that's a clear example of presidential abuses of power. Of course, it was no accident that SCOTUS teed up Trump's 2nd term to offer him blanket immunity, so he could go about punishing and attacking his enemies, starting wars, or worse.

This is a presidency that is out of control and we're not even halfway through it.

It's not by accident: it's a design feature.

Make no doubt about it, this is the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States.

Right now, Democrats must be planning, a blueprint, and 50-150 years of Nuremberg trials. Make an example, disincentivize future abuses of our democracy.

In the meantime, I'll be doing my part to raise awareness of the 25+ abuses of this administration, when it comes to attacking our right to vote.

While not an absolutely exhaustive list, this video should provide you critical details associated with the Trump-regime's attempts to rig/steal the mid-terms. Absolutely no option is left on the table.

In the coming weeks, I'll be putting together theunderKurrent's 1st official video, published to YouTube (as well as the Videos section), that will clearly outline the 25+ stratagems and gambits that this regime is actively utilizing to suppress the vote, undermine our elections, and breed distrust with election voter confidence.

I am not abashed to state, that this man is an absolute monster - and personally, I believe he's the antichrist.

This is par for the course, with this regime - absolute opaqueness. They don't want to lose a vote, or a congressional seat. I would at this point, not be at all surprised, if we later find out that McConnel passed away, or is suffering from full-on Alzheimers. However, we're likely to never find that out under this current regime, because as you know... they have a patterned track record, of hiding information from the public. We've seen this with the Epstein files, with Iran, and even with Trump's health.

When will the insanity stop? Hopefully after the mid-terms. However, it's doubtful that with Trump and the GOP possessing a super-majority and with our current DOJ being captured by this regime, that will ever see the light of day. That said, all corrupt empires eventually fall. Therefore, for that reason, I'm certain historians years from now, will squarely lay out the criminality. That said, the one question that remains is: will we even have a country after this Trump regime? And how much will our way governance be forced to change, given Trump has abused the power of the presidency to such a far off degree, that we cannot operate from a position of honoring one's oath to the constitution. I'd like to remind everyone that Trump did not swear his oath on the bible during his 2nd inauguration.

Ever notice how they always make widespread claims of fraud in our election, while never backing it up? That's because there is absolutely no basis for it.

Therefore, it should be trivial to argue, yet again, the Trump-regime isn't trying this case truly on its merits - but rather, in the court of public opinion. Any voter suppression and sewing of mistrust in our elections that are possible, they are going to pursue. Bar none.

I hope everyone realizes that the reason why they are pushing these lies, is not only for governmental capture in perpetuity, but - perhaps more importantly - because they are going to all go to jail. Just consider MAGA Mike's own words, when he says "I'm running a protection program."

Now people just need to show up, and show out - for elections and for we the People to raise our voices in mass dissent - should Trump, and Oligarchs, try to gaslight us with an national emergency or gaslight us - on what is otherwise a very clear Blue Tsunami rolling in. 🌊

We're about to go public with the release of our WIP Elections timeline and regular videos, regarding the elections abuses by this Trump regime.

In the meantime, however: this video broadly outlines my expectations regarding the path and lies this Trump regime will spew, utilize and engineer - in it's process and goal of undermining our democracy and free and fair elections process.

Please stay tuned, and reach out if you are interested in becoming a site Kurator!

Much love to you brother... been there before too with my disability. So many people complain and parrot the idea of mass fraud with disability or medicaid. That's so absolutely laughably wrong. The guy is right, they require round the clock documentation and literally if you have 20% function that permits you only to work 20% of the time (8 hours per week)... that's still considered not disabled; it doesn't matter if next week you're completely not functional, or that 32 hours per month is not enough to live off of. Now imagine that same scenario and be expected to come up with ~$15,000 per year to tend to your disability through medicaid. Now imagine the case where the usual Republican shitbags claim you must work 80 hours per month, minimum in order to qualify for medicaid. Ok great, some can do that, others can't. Well guess what? Now that you make more than $1700, you are now disqualified for medicaid and now must cough up $15K per year between premiums and MooP+deductible included. This is the shit world we live in. Humans suck at nuance; and as of late, they are hugely suck in terms of a lack of dignity, humanity, sympathy, honesty, vulnerability and intelligence. "This new normal" brought to you by the biggest IRL troll in the existence of humanity and misanthrope and delusional sadistic narcissist in the history of the world. Yes, Republicans are literally inhumane monsters; they only care about serving the ultra-wealthy: who don't require more all consuming soul-sucking money through their siphon-up economic crony-capitalist Blackrock monopolies and making everyone suffer. Screw them and CItizen's United. We must get them out, through whatever means necessary. We already know they committed a coup last time they lost.

Now for the sad reality... they have been saying the quiet parts out loud for years and the public is so indifferent, apathetic, blind, or sadistic to it to care. People only understand what affects them, otherwise all their opinions are shaped by the influence of others. Guess who can overwhelm and game this influence, kids? That's right... the corporations. This has been especially the case ever since Citizens United's precedence (or immaterial, lack thereof basis) that determined corporations deserve personhood too, but not any of the responsibility of paying taxes, nor following the laws. When you make a multi-person ran corporation, operate as it's own independent body-figure-head agency... who do you go after when they lie, cheat, poison, or steal? Answer: the corporation goes down, not the bad actors behind it. If, by chance they do after these bad-actors, it's all pay-to-win, play-to-win with stalling out investigations and trials for literal decades. Money buys slowdown, on an already massively taxed system.

I know 100 years from now, of we somehow make it out of this shithole situation, they will balk at the fact 90 years later, we repeated the same cycle as in WWII and this time switched places. They'll ask how it happened, with the post-WWII red-scare, and why did we decide to surrender all of our power and influence, all so the same corporations that sold and outsourced America in the mid-90s, can just turn around and blame it on China. Don't you get it? Their positions are always materialistic and focused on DARVO, flooding the zone, controlling the narrative, silencing and squashing descent, gutting any/all ways the government serves and supports its people, then fashioning this same system to use against the will of the people. It's that simple... yet so many never pick up on the overt pattern. Hell, as mentioned earlier, they admit to it out loud. When caught or called on it, they say they're joking, or blame the victim. Just look at what happened with Venezuela: claimed we were helping them, targeting narco terrorists, only for when this fascist regime fully seized our government to prime/choreograph and normalize this behavior enough for them to shortly after admit: "yeah, we were always here for the oil after all... it was never about the drugs." Begrudgingly, a vast majority of corporations/organizations also operate through similar means. This is where we come full-circle and underline this is why the rich are Republicans.

While this is surely an opinion piece, I will back it up with saying that this is just straight up fact and not even really opinion - but it's there for the disclaimer. Checkmate fascist GOP/MAGA! We can play that same game, too! We love loopholes!

It might have seemed preposterous a decade ago: Trump lies and gaslights, gets called out, never admits defeat. Rinse, repeat -- but each iteration more extreme. Now with a compromised government and bought-out media, the very thing he falsely claimed a decade ago actually exists -- because of him.

He lost 63 of 64 cases after his 2020 loss. He committed a coup, earned a second impeachment. Back then, major media censored him -- a step too far. For anyone normal, that would have been the end. For Trump, it would have been -- except he had position and influence.

There's no denying his criminality on January 6th. What he originally smeared as "another Democratic hoax" -- BLM, Antifa -- was actually his own supporters. Cameras exist. We have memories. Yet by 2023 he was calling perpetrators "hostages." Now he wants taxpayer money to sue the IRS over his leaked returns -- returns showing he paid $700 one year, zero several others. He promised to release them: "two weeks, two weeks, two weeks." Get fucked. You never intended to. Just like you never intended to drain the swamp -- because you are the swamp.

That is why we must re-establish credibility for the truth and restore sanity, accountability, justice under law. This illegal war, weaponized DOJ, media capitulation -- it must stop. It will stop.

Trump's "flood the zone" strategy may have worked in the past. Here at theunderKurrent, we've built the infrastructure and people-powered media to keep up -- long-form corpora, easily referenced. Whether you need a refresher on the full litany of abuses, you're arguing with your MAGA buddy, or you want every lie in one searchable place -- we've got you covered.

In the coming weeks I'll be doing a proper site launch. Right now I'm readying it. If you visit and want to learn more, become a member, contribute, donate -- please stick around. This community is not about me, not just about you. It's about something new. It's about us. It's about pledging that moving forward, we're better equipped to refuse the 24/7 news cycle, the endless minutia generated by Trump and his apparatus.

In the lead-up to the mid-terms: please share our Kronology and Corpora with influencers, in comments, everywhere. No one has built what we've built. It has the propensity to change the world -- to rise up, take our power back (as the majority), and call out attempts to rig the election before they happen. We have the full story here: 20+ concurrent attempts to undermine trust in this election.

Together, as a unified whole -- through deep curation, research, technology, and unified voice -- we can reclaim the narrative, demand dignity and accountability, and hold these abusive individuals to account. But that happens only after we collectively snap out of the first stage of grief: shock, stasis, fear. Then we remind ourselves we're not crazy -- we're deeply caring and brilliant. We spend more time trusting ourselves, forming coalition, spreading truth on a silver platter.

We may well be the first of its kind: a social media platform for the rest of us. Actually social, not driven by capitalism running rampant, seeking every worst human impulse. No. We'll pick it apart, tell the broader story, filter the noise, help one another see.

To those who engage in blasphemy, self-righteousness, gaslighting, misanthropy, abuse of power: (1) our kindness or silence was never inferred consent, nor a sign we haven't seen your abuses; (2) while we believe in equal justice, we will absolutely judge you -- it's not freedom of speech when you weaponize it to commit heinous acts and then act cute when you get away with it.

Given the trends we're seeing: no, we are not better off than four years ago. A rift has formed in MAGA. Even its supporters are noticing the extremes. To those only now picking up on the fraud: we told you so. And we cannot sit here and have a conversation just because you started caring when your own rights got taken away. Better late than never -- if you're sorry and done with the BS, welcome. Your integrity is lost, but just like Michael Cohen, you're welcome to hang around. We will ban you so fast your head will spin if you intend to cosplay your way into trust.

You are responsible for the shithole world we now live in. There's one final chance to save the old world -- not "Make America Great Again" with hate and lies, but "We the People" reclaiming the narrative, our power, our grace.

We're connecting the dots, forming a coalition, calling out abuses, setting the record straight. As the underKurrent: we never offered our inferred consent. These last months are proving ground for our nation's founding after previously being subjected to tyranny. This July 4th, let us celebrate our independence.

If we make it through this: (1) it must become a crime to lie, period; (2) being rich shouldn't buy you DARVO credits and endless bad-faith delay; (3) freedom of speech doesn't include crying wolf -- once an abusive pattern is established and you've been warned, swift jail time follows. No more big money in politics. No more rewriting of rules or two-tiered justice.

When Democrats win these mid-terms, a reckoning begins. That includes Nuremberg trials the likes of which you've never seen -- with gag and restraining orders. The same illegal surveillance systems weaponized against the public will be used to hold you accountable. Justice will be swift, as it will be sweet.

To anyone constantly thinking "has this world lost its damned mind?" -- yes, yes it has. It's not just you. We can pretend to be hopeless, or we can use our collective power to deny the inferred consent we never offered, and hold these sickos accountable for their constant subterfuge.It might have seemed preposterous a decade ago: Trump lies and gaslights, gets called out, never admits defeat.

For a man that's all about presentation...

I am not sure if this is being experienced nearly universally, or ubituitously; or such a prelude is an exaggeration - or too much of a stretch.

Let us begin, stay with me for a moment - and I promise if you'll keep reading this to the end - and what I will speak about will resonate. In the 5-30 second shortened attention-span and self/societal isolation we all sense and internalize, a volition, but refuse to speak about it, or express it. It actually serves a purpose if we validate it -rather than invalidate it.

The underKurrent
(word type: noun)
Definition: is a mood or atmosphere just below the surfaceis a mood or atmosphere just below the surface.

That exactly describes the world we live in, between those affected and those creating and fostering this environment, to manipulate outcomes. It's as if we live in two parallel realities: the reality and the anti-reality; more and more the anti-reality is being thrown onto us. It's the classic "it's not what it looks like!" (boy who cried wolf; feigning, sort of thing - that is the absolute pathetic part about this regime and its propaganda.

We all sense this silence (us intelligent, kind, caring, and justice types). Yet, there's this underlying force that permeates: our gut telling us - this isn't right, it doesn't need to be this way. And when we deny that inner voice, trust ourselves more (and one another), we ultimately lose our meaning and purpose until we cease our "inferred consent" - by recognizing the unified voice and actions of the masses - actually matter here.

As have always purported to others and myself, this: "behavior shapes outcome [...] I may have control over what adversities I may face; that said - I do have control over the way I react to them." And it's a strong important reminder that our government has been ceased and is acting out of corruption, malice and purely one of ego. Our government is further away from its people, upholding the common good, and is engaged in an insane/inane amount of propaganda, priming/choreographing events/intimidation/lies/subterfuge/subjugation/complacency and complicit in controlling outcome - by any and all means necessary. Hence why, anytime it runs into a barrier - it bypasses norms, the law, and the very nature of checks and balances. Just look at the War Powers Act and anytime MAGA Mike "The Grindr" Johnson loses control over the House, he forces an unexpected and immediate 7-14 day recess. How many days has congress actually worked in the past 18 months? I recognize they typically only serve in session for 180 out of 365 days per year. And yet, while this insurrectionist/coup/authoritarian regime literally possesses majority control/influence to pursue their agendas (via: POTUS+Cabinet/SCOTUS/DOJ) in a post-Trump/post-truth/post-COVID/post-AI/post-democratic world.

And FFS: why has no one saying anything about/challenging the people and (Russ Vought [brain-child of Project 2025], et al.) and implementation (via following "Citizens United"'s Project 2025 Playbook ™) verbatim. Descenting congressionals fail to draw attention towards/challenge the legitimacy of it, nor does the media. Besides, the legacy media is pretty well captured at this point (yes: that's right, through constant pressure and unrelenting nudges and breaking of the rules for the past decade - the Overton Window invariable certainly shifted (via the slow, steady and persistent slow-burning and destruction of rules/laws/boundaries) and has resulted in "this new normal". And, once more, I would like to remind you, this didn't happen by accident/happenstance. As a matter of fact, the "flooding of the zone" strategy (as Bannon has phrased it; and statement of unequivocal fact that Trump will be the presidential winner in 2028; Kentucky Senators and MAGA Mike Johnson stating likewise, stating: we cannot lose the mid-terms, we'll be prosecuted. They know what's up. And while everyone is sleep-walking, taking the bait, and getting caught up in the 24/7 news-cycle and failing to connect-the-dot/curate and filter/and focus on the real underlying threats - longitudinally, is what got us where we are (and likewise where we'll likely be tomorrow, unless we strategize).

If you just look at the Kronology of the Elections alone, this past decade, an overt and obvious subtext begins to form that clearly demonstrates a complete subverting of the will of the people, subjecting us to subterfuge/lies/gaslighting/projection and leaving us "worse off than we were 0-4 years prior" (depending upon the window of measurement, in relation to their inaugurations. With George W. Bush - they lied about the weapons of mass destruction, attacked Iraq instead of Iran - in retaliation, on 9/11 failed to respond (because there just so happened to be "terrorist drills/simulations that day"), and passed sweeping policies that were intended to go after foreign terrorists - not to be weaponized against its people and slowly shift to calling any one holding descent of these policies: domestic terrorists. With Republicans, it has always been about the intentional conflating/white lies of:

• "Us"/"US(A)" => them, the rich
• "Prophets" => profits
• "Praying" => preying
• [etc., etc.]

Now, with this regime's full assailing of the law, which ramped up as a distraction from their protection of child predators, human-trafficking, and Epstein files; it serves to prove they will go to any means necessary to distract, or even prevent the peaceful transfer of power in the future. Since Jan 1st 2026 to present, they have remained quite busy, including: gerrymandering, outside of norm mid-century redistricting, and coordinating and orchestrating their assured "win" in the 2026 mid-terms. Likewise, they have already virtue-signaled and their track-record is formidable; thus, we must take them at their word when they say extreme things that are outlandish, dangerous, and extreme. Since the beginning of the year, they are more and more - saying the quiet parts out loud.

Likewise, there is an atmosphere of associated stigma talking about these sorts of topics. We all see through the overt corruption, but fail to use our voice, and trust our gut to challenge it. The sooner we band together, koalesce and realize our powers in number, unified voice, and demand justice and difference - the better. We must call them out on their abuses to rig the midterms; there's a litany of things they are doing to achieve that - attacking the elections - on all fronts. They are not leaving any stone unturned. I will eventually link up a full list for your review; once you realize this, you will begin to recognize the "hidden" pattern (in reality, we're all too caught up in the intentional cultural divisions they sew, and the minutia and fragmented nature of the internet age and 24/7 news reporting - that we become overwhelmed and fail to connect the dots, nor recognize our own power is in unified voice, shared numbers together, and our right to say "no" and alter the narrative and course of everything that follows).

This presentation by Chris Murphy deserves more attention. It points to the fact that this administration is taking advantage of the "flooding the zone" and overwhelm factor, to run roughshod over the American people. Just look at the 147 executive orders in his first 90 days.

Now this administration (or rather - its allies) are afraid of the consequences associated with this massive power-play for the ultra wealthy. As you're already aware, these included:

• "The One Great Big Beautiful Bill" which advertises itself as massive-tax breaks for everyday Americans: which it is, for the ultra-wealthy, but fails to deliver for everyday Americans. At best, it dangles a carrot on "no tax on tips".
• DOGE swoops in and exfiltrates US taxpayer information, and other PII - such as social security numbers, addresses, etc. DOGE during depositions already admits to exfiltration and sharing of this information with a "3rd party". I actually truly believe the purpose of this is so this regime can interfere in the 2026-mid-terms, and 2028 presidency - full stop.
• Skirts accountability with the Epstein files.
• Starts an entirely unwarranted war, costing American tax payers trillions of dollars; spikes in gas prices; and a bunch of false claims by Trump that "affordability" is a term made up by the "radical Left lunatic" Democrats "who hate this country" (same worn out stupid line, as always)
• Right now, we see ourselves amid a job and economic crisis. Massive layoffs due to effects post-COVID, and with advent of a post-AI world. What's worse, compounded by a "post-truthism", where corruption rans rampant, and where everyday Americans cannot afford to live and are losing everything. I can't help, but feel that all of this was engineered, as now in the lead-up to the mid-terms, they don't spend one ounce of modicum in terms of voting rights, or adhering to the will of the people. Actually, it's quite the opposite. It's all abou subverting the will of the people, subterfuge, and additional psy-ops and feigned assassination attempts on the president - so he can get his ball room.
• You know what Trump is after right now, when he makes unilateral decisions to not follow SCOTUS's few times they have ruled against him. This is beyond crisis, this is a slow eventual death of America, where we don't go out with a bang, but instead a wimper.

I was listening to this when I was slowly waking up this morning. It's a hard video was a hard-listen, coming from a man that was once supportive of Trump, and later served on The Lincoln Project. Suffice to say, the video discusses a lot of the same questions I've been having regarding: how we got here, where were currently are, where we're going next, and when the insanity is going to stop.

I believe a vast majority of Americans, whether they want to recognize/realize this (or not; but do so, subconsciously), is that: this is not sustainable. This cult of personality, division, chaos, "flooding of the zone", constant fire-starting; while everyday Americans are hurting; and somehow we allowed this guy in for a 2nd term after a very evident coup d'etat against the US - really says a lot. When you combine that with congress's capitulation, lack of reigning in via War Powers Act, and MAGA Mike "The Grindr Johnson"'s constant House of Representative recesses: it's an America beyond constitutional crisis - and a country that has been rendered a complete joke - functionally, at the direct result of Trump's hand (which by the way are small)
