Trump signs executive order saying all independent agencies are directed by him, must be loyal to him, all relevant laws affecting them are interpreted by him, and have spies embedded in them which report to him https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/ensuring-accountability-for-all-agencies/

"Ain't nobody ever wanted no king, Ignacius", his mom says, and I thought, well of course nobody ever wanted a king, this part of the book is just silly, that wouldn't happen

oh shit they're in power now
oh shit oh fuck fucking yikes

Nobody's ever going to take THOSE people seriously right
