Orange stain second term results thread

Heh he’s going to cut off the energy if Trump doesn’t back down.

To no one's surprise, Trump vows to violate contract law.

Trump Plans To Nullify New Federal Union Contracts​

The president said agreements reached late in Joe Biden's presidency were meant to "harm my Administration."​

Pentagon Boots NBC, NPR, NYT, and Politico from Offices – To Be Replaced by Breitbart and OANN.

Defense Dept. evicts NBC, NPR, NYT from Pentagon offices to make way for Breitbart, OANN

The major news outlets were ordered to vacate their offices as part of a newly instated "media rotation program"

Right out of Moscow's playbook. Putin will be impressed. Trumps state run media! Working to eliminate "unfriendly" media. Sense of paranoia, mistrust of workers and need to control what the public sees and hears. Fascism coming to America. I never dreamed I'd see this day!

Fascist takeover says what?

Too late to wish for Obama to signal the execution of general order 66 against Republicans??

Sure the Constitution, or lack of one, helps (its basically, "try to talk, and if disagrees, shoot", isn't it?), but I say that Orange (and maybe captain apartheid) is a "historical arsonist".

I know a lot of people who enjoy history have a thing for historical arsonists, so for me that dislikes them I find the situation watching from a distance a bit amusing.
Not that I would also dislike the results... maybe at least a bit of "balkanization" could be a much needed fresh breeze for the World.

While I agree with the principle, I don;t want to see his face. Text would be better, but sort of still aids his "any publicity is good publicity" Get his name front and center everywhere like his hero Kim Il or Jung whatever.

 

[RalphTheCow]

when the economy dips noticeably as a result of all Trump's insanity, I'd like to see a top Democrat say - we gave Trump a strongly improving economy, and he fucked it up. It's that simple.

They don't have the chutzpah though.

I think they can manage that - it is easy enough. Many of them are already beating that drum.

lol@Canada/Mexico specifically targeting red states with tariffs

 

[HomerJS]

Lol apparently Trump's order about "opening the valves" in California for the wild fires was him ordering the Army Cops of Enigneers to dump water from its storages without telling CA water management officials or the farmers he was gonna flood out.

Farmers fields were flooded. They were only given a 1 hour notice

Farmers Plead ‘Stop Our Fields Flooding’ as Trump Opens Dams

Trump gloated Friday about sending billions of gallons of water to southern California.

Lol, as if the SD government will stand up for their citizens. They're probably going to just rollover.

The evangelicals potentially turning on Trump because Musk is fucking their money over would be kinda amazing.

 

[trenchfoot]

This is the same guy who made his fortune off government contracts

He and his lackey Trump are operating under the auspices of the "More for Me Less For Thee Principles of Capitalist Greed". That lust, that addiction for more wealth and power that many of the very wealthy cannot control inside themselves is the new and improved standard guideline for the Trump admin.

Graft is now illegally legal in the Trump admin. where the need for greed is only limited by the imaginations of the suck-up oligarchs and wanna-be's of the world that Trump put in charge of the nation's valuables. Transactional politics is now in vogue made popular by the election of the most transactionally motivated POTUS we've ever had the displeasure of tolerating.

The only satisfaction I can glean out of this whole national fire sale is that the fuckers who fucked around by electing Trump has already passed into the painful finding out part of their fuck around fuckery. Too bad their stupidity had to get the rest of to suffer right along with them.

The evangelicals and Trump used each other for mutual gain. That the evangelicals exploited their religious beliefs, their biblical text to gain more political clout and favor from the most vile and morally barren human being ever to lead our nation so as to enshrine their beliefs into the laws of the land is heinous and in my view sacrilegious. They made a deal with the closest thing to a hell spawn demonic incarnate that could ever have led the nation. Where in their doctrinal guide book did they ever humanly interpret so as to irrationally justify that kind of sinful behavior I wonder.

They exploit their religious text just like the conservative majority in the SCOTUS exploits The Constitution in favor of the oligarchs of the nation.

So the glorification of snake oil is another feature of this new era.

Health The Trump administration is poised to supercharge America’s appetite for supplements. January 30, 2025 In a Massachusetts cellar in 1873, Lydia Pinkham first brewed the elixir that would make her famous. The dirt-brown liquid, made from herbs including black cohosh and pleurisy root...

Ezra Klein’s podcast was good today. He basically says don’t believe trump has all the power he tries to make us believe he does. He has had some reversals in his flood the zone attacks, so we have to work for more. So we are locked in a psychological war and about our only weapon is exploiting his ego with huge disapproval.

Just a glimmer of hope but it is all we have. I feel like we have to be Hogan’s Heroes, fighting against Klink/Trump and Shulz/Musk.

It's a glimmer of hope, but the editors of newspapers need to wake the fuck up. The milquetoast headlines obscure what's going on. Imagine if this stuff was happening in another country, how would it be covered: "Musk has infiltrated key agencies in his ongoing coup."

He did say it's a shock and awe campaign.

Never thought as an American I'd be subject to a Shock and Awe campaign by my own president.

Russians yes, Chinese yes.. but on people who took the oath of allegiance.. never.

But it's not shock and awe. They've been broadcasting this for a while and editors have just papered over it with bullshit.

There is a playbook for how to obstruct and try to slow some things down, but the Dems are a failure. Playbook at the link below

Ezra Levin (@ezralevin.bsky.social)

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

I think doing something about the absolute lunatic who was not elected to anything running around and wrecking the government would probably be a good idea.
