On one side you have four people who take enormous amounts of money from oligarchs, such as Peter Thiel, or the Mellon banking family. And they all take the money from the same people. Peter Thiel has given millions to Trump and to Kennedy and Vance and Shanahan, and is a mentor to the last two.
Follow the money works in politics too, you know. In fact that's where it needs to be applied.
On the other side you have Harris and Walz who have raised a ton of money from millions of small donations, around a hundred bucks.
I don't know about you guys, but if you want to fight the deep state, fight the ones taking money from the oligarchs, bankers and tech bros, not the ones financed by the people.

Who cares? The point was they Trump called the little runt's bluff and the little runt backed down. Didn't he?
No. Not in the slightest.
North Korea has continued to test launch ICBM delivery systems and is developing and testing other delivery systems as well.

Kim Jong totally played Trump. Just like Putin did.
I disagree. It was all good until the dementia addled sock puppet got into the office.
Of course they were waiting to see what would happen, who'd come in next. When they say Joe heading toward 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., they knew that they were running the game again. You didn't think they'd sit on their hands forever and let things run on Trump's karma? Of course not; you're smarter than that. The faeces hit the ventilator once it was Joe's watch.

Pretty sure he said he was going to do that back in 2016 ... and then didn't.
There was a thread here about a conversation he had with Judge Napalitano
on the subject and in that conversation Trump said that the file on
Kennedy was too horrible to release.

John F Kennedy was murdered in the process of dismanteling the CIA among other things like working on a more cordial relationship with th Soviet Union. The MIC doesn't make money without someone to fight.

I sincerly hope I am wrong, but I feel the chance the US had to reverse the decades long corruption and march toward authoritarianism has long since past.

Well you have to take into account that governance, certainly from the 19th century, in the US was entirely grounded in political gangsterism. JFKs father used that system to help get his son the presidency.
That relationship, between governance and organised crime, is something that Trump understands at the basest level, or should do, better than any other presidential contender - past or present - since Kennedy.
