Trump will NEVER figure out what the hell is going on. It's going to be a 4-year shitshow if we don't eject this MFer from government, and from the public in general. He should be in prison for his MANY crimes.

My GOD, how I hate this time-line.

This time I do not plan to spend any sympathy at all when the dead MAGAts start showing up in droves.

I'll save my sympathy for the not fascists.

These orders came from Vladimir Putin. The wholesale destruction of the US government from within has begun.

How the f$&! did we get here. Morale at virtually every federal agency is already shaken, or worse. People are afraid. If you are gay, black, a woman, a person of science or empathy or believe in diversity, you are being targeted. Trump hates diversity. He distrusts science. He hates laws, regulations, protections for employees or minorities or the needy. He hates the Constitution. He’s effectively trying to shut down, fire and destroy the entire federal government and replace some of it with loyalists who place blind devotion to Trump above all else.

For any minority group or individual who voted for this, why? For any LGTBQIA person who voted for this, why? For any federal employee who voted for this, why? For anyone who considers themselves a kind person, or a logical person or an informed person who voted for this, why? For any journalist or member of the free press not paid to spread right wing propaganda who voted for this, why?

It’s isn’t just about political differences and rhetoric anymore. This administration is hurting people, and their commitment to harm is so indefensible, people are unwilling to debate it in a civil manner. MAGA can’t defend releasing felons who beat Capitol police. They can’t defend Trump being able to fire the very people charged with watching what his administration does with our money, or with the power we bestowed on it. They can’t defend him firing thousands of employees simply because they followed diversity programs, or because they are scientists or career experts in national health. The leopards are eating nearly every face. So who exactly wanted this?

They were hurting people the last time they were in charge.

Too many people forgot, or ignored that.

This is how we got here.

These people make me tired.

They also make me furious, which means that the fatigue won't keep me from taking action wherever I can to oppose them.

But they do make me tired.

Meanwhile, the clearest sign of mass psychosis, I think, is that our "president" (Dictator on Day 1, 2, 3, ...) is now reported to be threatening to use our military to take over other territories for "reasons" that sound as arrogant and lawless as Hitler's demand for Lebensraum in Eastern Europe nearly a century ago. AND WE DON'T HEAR MANY (OR ANY?) OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES DENOUNCING THIS MADNESS AND DEMANDING HIS IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM OFFICE. Why don't we hear that? And what about the press?

I'm having a raw milk, raw pork, and raw egg breakfast. What could go wrong?

Sgt JMK's avatar

What... no raw chicken?

oscarphile's avatar

I am going to devote THE REST OF MY LIFE to persuading rapist-voters to drinking raw milk and not vaxxing. We have to let the anti-science freaks weed themselves out.

DemoCat's avatar

They will stop snorting Ivermectin and bleach and drinking raw milk and skipping Polio vaccines the minute we libs encourage it. They don’t trust any educated, informed or qualified people telling them anything. They want the freedom to do dangerous, stupid and harmful things that we doctors, scientists and college grads suggest they not do. Once we support it, they lose all interest. What fun is skipping vaccines if it doesn’t anger libs?

oscarphile's avatar

Oh, I didn't mean I was going to TELL them to drink raw milk. I was going to purse my lips, wag my finger, and lecture them on the dangers of raw milk and the benefits of government-funded pasteurization, which would make them run shrieking in the opposite direction.

DemoCat's avatar

Ah, yes, that will work. If all the MAGAs turn to raw milk and homemade Ivermectin, we should be fine by the midterms. More Fairlife milk for the rest of us. I can’t get enough of Fairlife milk. It’s amazing. Stays fresh for weeks too. It’s all I need. :)

It gives "The Purge" a whole new, grosser meaning!

Me too! It doesn't seem like it'll be a hard lift!!

Vaguely related (although not really), the new 3rd party admin for our health plan just caused me to be sent a bill for my blood work that's normally paid for, saying it's not covered. So I guess I'll be on the phone Monday to see if I can get it taken care of.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

Yeah.

So, I read someplace that the raw milk afionados have come up with a way to make raw milk 'safe' to drink. Simply boil it, allow it to cool and then drink.

Congratulations! You've just invented pasteurization. Step right up and claim your Legion d'Honneur!

I actually busted out laughing at that.

If I was a country looking to improve my health research industry say like a country where pandemics break out I would try to hire some of these scientists. Find out what the need to do the work and provide it. If a pandemic did break out I would have the people to find a cure, the cure would be in hand first and I could charge whatever I wanted for other people to get the cure.

Thought control, speech control, written word control - fpotus and enablers can't wait to impose their lies, misinformation, and disinformation on all government agencies' pronouncements. Propaganda that is good for the authoritarian takeover is allowed. Faux news talking points, conspiracy theories, lies to manipulate opinions, are in full play now. Soon see the abolition of science in classrooms, unless it's supported by the Bible. This is a huge, ugly reality. The same people adamantly decrying any liberal point of view as indoctrination, are now going full throttle on right-wing propaganda everywhere - in political stands, education, health, safety, workplaces. Watch for Big Brother to totally invade the privacy of our homes via online spying from our phones, our TV screens, any wireless technology in a home or on our person can be programmed to watch us, listen to us, harm us. This is not hyperbole. This is modern totalitarian control. The resistance better be prepared.

IDK. I think Americans are just to unruly to fall into all of that. It's fun when Trump is picking on people you don't like, good for a laugh, but I think the shine is going to come off of that Penny sooner rather than later He just never knows when to quit, and he's going to piss too many people off eventually. I have a strong suspicion he doesn't make his full term

Rain Robinson's avatar

I get a little too worked up about this. You make a very good point about him not knowing when to quit. I think you are right. And the things the Project 2025 people want may not happen as easily as they think. Fpotus is extremely volatile after all, and unpredictable. I don't think he'll last 4 years either. That some fools think he should get a third term is not only laughable, his health won't get him through this one I think.
