More efficient use of government resources. Never mind that people with gender neutral names find use in having pronouns in their email signature, these thin-skinned namby-pamby weaklings get the vapors at the sight of pronouns in an email signature.

Federal employees told to remove pronouns from email signatures by end of day

Employees at multiple federal agencies were ordered to remove pronouns from their email signatures by Friday afternoon, according to internal memos obtained by ABC News.

Wonder if he is going to exempt MAGA hats, Trump bibles, Trump sneakers, Trump guitars, Trump watches, and other Chinese crap he is hawking to his cult.

If Trump follows through with even just 50% of the stuff he's promised so far and the stuff that's been implemented and planned, this economy will be fucked by the end of the year.

If anyone is curious about the $50 million in condoms for Gaza thing, here's the info. It seems like the line from here to Herr Trump's moronic mis-statement is DOGE claims to find this $50m in condoms sent to Gaza, Herr Musk says "My guess is that a lot of that money ended up in the pockets Hamas [sic], not actually condoms", someone responded saying the condoms were being used to transport IEDs, and thus Herr Trump's blathering, idiotic statement about using condoms to make bombs. You know, because he's an utter fucking moron with swiss cheese for a brain.

Did you miss the part where those condoms we’re going to Gaza Province, MOZAMBIQUE???

You literally can’t make this shit up…

The US spent millions on STD prevention in Gaza. But it was a province in Mozambique

Trump said the US stopped $50m in condoms 'for Hamas' but USAid shows no record of sending condoms to Palestinian enclave

If they disobey the courts the states involved should work legislation to prevent their residents/companies from paying taxes to the Federal Government. If we are in a fiscal civil war then it's time to load the cannons.

I have been wondering why I bother paying any taxes recently. 100% on board with the economically successful blue states shutting it down.

oh man @nickqt must be wetting himself with excitement. finally, federalism is being (accidentally, admittedly) used to let red states have their way!

Strong Federalism as I advocate for would allow Blue States like California to do things in a California way, while Red States like Alabama can do things in an Alabama way, without favoring one state over another. California gets to use it's share of Federal funding for California things, Alabama can use its share of Federal funding for Alabama things.

California might do something that would protect workers. Alabama will obviously gut assistance to the poor. Then voters in both places can choose to continue supporting the people who decide how that funding gets allocated. Perhaps dipshits who vote for the GOP in Red States will change their minds once they're actually allowed to "benefit" from GOP Policy that they actively vote for.

As long as Red State voters get to vote for the GOP while being protected from the GOP due to Democratic and Blue State protections, they're going to keep voting for the GOP.

This isn't ignoring the pain that comes with Strong Federalism. It is embracing the fact that a lot of voters vote for Leopards and the Blue State voters who they loathe protect them from the Leopards.

And to be clear, this is just an intermediary step in a long process whereby the US winds down as an Empire. There are people on these very forums who call for a national divorce, and I can assure you with 100% certainty that a national divorce results in civil war and is much more painful than Strong Federalism.

Ultimately, I don't want Republicans in charge, ever, anywhere. I've been posting that blog link (I'll go ahead and post it again, thanks for the @) because I believe that it's either Strong Federalism, or it's civil war.

Or maybe I'm just crazy and everything is just fine.

Let's see if the states have the balls to do it. They should and they better - because in a few years, that military might be filled with Trumpie loyalist leaders. and they literally would invade those blue states. That's a no brainer. Now they can take a stand, they haven't had enough time to permeate the military ranks enough.

I could bet that they did on purpose, they would cut the money anyway and took the opportunity to do some propaganda for the zeonazis.

Turns out the “DEI” program Trump has been blaming for the crash was initiated during the presidency of (checks notes) Donald Trump.

www.latintimes.com

Trump Blamed Democrats for Causing DC Plane Crash With DEI Program He Himself Launched in First Term: Report

President Donald Trump blamed the plane crash in Washington, DC, on a diversity, equity and inclusion program he actually launched himself in his first term
www.latintimes.com www.latintimes.com

The thing about Trump is that his sense of morality is so twisted that he’s actually a philosemitic bigot. He thinks that Jews hoard money and control Hollywood and are all loyal to Israel first and foremost, but he thinks those are good qualities about them and admires them for it if they show fealty and vote for him.

No links but
a) Musk has taken control of OMB and OMB employee can no longer access federal employment database.
b) CDC data has been mungled or taken off line
c) more FBI agents fired
--
Things are going to get really bad in a few weeks and make stuff like stupid Tariffs seem harmless relatively speaking.

Flooding the zone, same as last time, but this time the fascists had marching orders ready to execute.

And yes, that phrasing is intentional.

Now Trump is off to do some important things. Like golf! while his mafia/extortion threats simmer.


Lol!, wonder how long he'll be there? Large parts of ocean blvd get shut down when he is in town. Those residents all had enough for 8 to 10 years and can't stand the disruption to their daily commute. So much so that Palm County went for Harris by the slimmest margin of 5544 votes. Palm Beach County gave Harris 372,230 votes.Trump 366,686 votes. I am 37 miles south of Mar a Lago, so it doesn't affect me at all. The wife and I might have to take a drive up this weekend to see all the gnashing of teeth. Trump still got a lot of votes in Palm County. So fuck them.
