The only ignorant fuck is you. There are exceptions in the child labor laws of the 1970's. One of them is working for your parents (still legal today), which is what I did till I was 15. There are also other exceptions.. maybe you should go educate yourself. So no, I wasn't illegally employed you dumb fuck.

And no, I don't have any quams using curse words, as all they are , are fucking words, used as descriptive words as in this case, that is perfectly fitting when talking to a dumb fuck like yourself.
I had my first job at 8 delivering news papers.

You're arguing with someone who pretended to kinda have integrity for a few months. You lose every time.

So Trump is dismantling election security mechanisms. He's parroting Russian propaganda talking points. He's attacking the legal system. He attacking the constitution. He's trying to insert the US into the Osraeli, Palestine conflict and take control of the Gaza strip. He's threatened Canada. He's threatened Panama. He's threatened Greenland.
He stepping on states rights. He stepping on individual freedoms. He's about to step on the financial system.

He's led to US oligarchs who are essentially running the executive branch and foreign policy with a side of Vladimir Putin.

This is what the ignore listers wanted.

This executive order pretty much seizes complete control of all regulatory agencies and interpretation of any law! I did not say “attempts to seize” because who the fuck is going to stop this?

All independent agencies are now under the direct control of the president. All regulations must meet with presidential approval before being implemented (power grab against legislature) and only the president and attorney general can interpret the law as far as what federal employees follow in their duties (power grab against judiciary).

This is the biggest power grab in American history, do you think it might make the news for more than a day? Will anyone in the entire fucking media be critical of this move or give it anywhere near the attention it deserves? Or do we just slide right into dictatorship with hardly a reaction? And he calls Zelenskyy a dictator. Every accusation is a confession!

There’s no way Trump is going to do the work of actually reviewing thousands of federal regulations. That’s just not possible, which is why the organizations have done the bulk of this work up until now. So now, he’s just added another layer of “unaccountable bureaucrats” to review the reviewers, and tell him that everything is okay. They’ll either rubberstamp everything, or deny everything.

I suspect this will essentially neuter any sort of regulation that puts any limitations on say ... a business. Or you can have regulations for sale – if Walmart pays me, I’ll enforce regulations that are onerous to Amazon for example. There’s an incredible amount of coruption and evil they can do with it. They can weaponize regulations by only enforcing them against their enemies. They could remove thousands of bedrock safety regulations overnight if they want. A pipeline for bribes to Trump and Bondi. Also, it specifically includes agencies that were set up to be independent (from the administration) agencies by Congress. Now, the executive says, “we’re just going to ignore that your law says these are independent agencies”.

Trump taking over Inspector Generals and auditors.

This will still obviously get litigated, at which point The Federalist Society, er um, Supreme Court will make its final determination on where the Judicial Branch stands on a given controversy.

I am wondering at what point it comes into clearer focus for the conservative justices of the Court that their own recent rulings just might very well have stripped them of their judicial independence. Does the SCOTUS knowingly, eyes-wide-open, rendering itself moot?

Unitarian Executive > Judicial + Legislative? Wtf!

They’re corrupt as all fuck but We have to hope they’re not THAT dumb. They know the implications of what they’d be deciding. HOPEFULLY their impulse would be to protect their branch and their power to say what the law is under the Constitution. But will they have the COURAGE? The courage to rule against the very thing their own little legal fraternity and plutocratic ecosystem has been pushing for decades – the very reason they were selected, nominated, and confirmed for this role. Would they have the courage to rule for their own independence against the threat of a clown who wants to be a king?

Any word on those juicy fossil fuel subsidies being cut yet? Gosh, isn't that so peculiar? Well, Glorious Leader works in mysterious ways, best not to question it lest you get a free ride to El Salvador!

So this is what the people who voted for Trump wanted all along, right? A dictatorship that's currently taking their own rights away in real life that's worked out so much better than any lie they ever told about the libs taking their freedoms away that enables any MAGAT off the street to make mass killings with printed rapid firing rifles so much easier to happen.

Can't wait for the faked 2026 midterms to come around where voting in a USA election would be exactly like voting in a Russian one. Thank you Trump voters, you got what you wanted when you didn't even know what that really meant. And of course, like any plot hatched by the apparatchik cadre of the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society that you all never knew existed, it will be too late for you all to take back what you gave away so freely, so stupidly, so cluelessly. Not that you'd care, right? You'll aways have the liberals to blame anyway....

Here's a link from Buzzfeed that shows the peopards eating MAGA faces.


Now the only one I really don't really believe is #11
"11.There's the Trump voter who's upset that her social security was cut:"

I haven't heard of the syphilitic orange menace cutting SSI. Not sure he can with just the wave of his pitchfork.
Don't forget these people are still evil fucks. They're just regretting it because they're feeling some pain. Remember we've seen Donald Trump for 8 years, so have a lot of his voters, or at least the last 4 years. If you seen Trump for any time that long you know the guy's an evil pathologically lying piece of shit, you just loved it, as long as you thought he would fuck over everybody else but you.

I'll only trust a trump voter if they fucking put their time in and work to save democracy. It's going to take time for any of those fuckers to win back any trust, or at least it should.

Here's one from December, before the syphilitic orange menace took office.

From WAPO

It would be interesting to go back to that PA town and interview those same people and see now how they feel about donny two-scoops.

Another one

"2 dead after 2 small planes collide midair in Arizona, officials say":

These happen almost everyday in the US, with the majority being small planes, such as those in AZ today

In this year alone (7 weeks) there have been 87 accidents, not all with deaths.

Yeah, but it's still Trump's fault. Gotta embrace a little bit of the propaganda and embellishment to break through to the people not paying attention.
