In his latest GASLight dispatch, George Abraham Stone dissects the Trump-era budget strategy wrapped in the cynical phrase “This too shall pass.” Behind the façade of legislative inevitability lies a brutal cycle of debt, cuts, and vanishing empathy. This post exposes how economic cruelty is passed off as patriotic sacrifice—and how the public is expected to forget the pain they never asked for.

In the wake of a federal court ruling allowing military presence in U.S. cities and over 13 million Americans protesting authoritarian overreach, this reprise to The Closed Colossus calls for action. It proposes the creation of the National Guard Oversight Act, Due Process First campaign, and Golden Door Corps to reopen America’s promise and defend civil liberties.

Economic collapse isn’t a side effect—it’s part of the plan. Isolation is the tunnel. Autocracy is the light at the end.

The budgetary bloodbath. They brought it back—stitched with secrecy, padded with power grabs, and paraded to the Senate floor for debate under cover of darkness.

Donald Trump has escalated his economic strategy from targeted tariffs to a full-blown isolationist doctrine—complete with emergency powers, alliance threats, and a currency war blueprint scrawled somewhere near a cocktail bar at Mar-a-Lago. In this latest dispatch from The GASLight, George Abraham Stone dissects how “Fortress America” benefits the man behind the wall—and what’s left of democracy when the only thing being imported is fear.

Once a symbol of hope for the oppressed, The Statue Of Liberty now moonlights as another federal checkpoint—torch dimmed, expression tight, robes re-stitched with caution tape. Her poem— Emma Lazarus’s “The New Colossus”—used to stir something in our national soul. “Give me your tired, your poor…” it cried. These days, it sounds more like satire than scripture.

The absence of due process, quietly delivered by masked men who never introduce themselves.

The Big Beautiful Bro Breakup 💔 Trump and Musk have parted ways — not over morals, coups, or chaos. Musk’s real issue? The budget bill gives him tax cuts but doesn’t gut social programs or reduce the deficit. He’s fine getting richer — just not if the poor get heat and healthcare too. The bromance collapsed under the weight of ego and unmet expectations. 🚀👑📉

From the satirical minds behind The Farce Side, this parody turns budget politics into an action-packed battle scene. A scathing tribute to the chaos of tax cuts, Medicaid slashing, and billionaire backroom deals—wrapped in the bloody flair of a cult classic.

Elon Musk is finally out of government’s direct orbit — but not before putting down his chain saw and taking a wrecking ball to agencies, workers, data, and the lives of millions of Americans. We unpack the damage and ask: Why would anyone on Earth, or Mars for that matter be mad at him?
