Amazing how the party of small government, who said Obama ruled by fiat like a despot, is immediately acting how they claimed Obama did.
What’s amazing is that - once again - we’ve got a Republican President stepping in to drive out every moderate and liberal holding a position of authority in the administration. And Democrats are just shaking their heads saying “Well, but you can’t do that” for the fourth time in as many decades, when you quite obviously can.
“Haha! Now we’ll get Trump on being a hypocrite!” is the mating cry of a bunch of fucking losers.
And the next Democratic president will keep 75% of the partisan hacks Trump installs “because we don’t want to be divisive”.
See Louis DeJoy, who is still fucking there!
He’s following Project 2025 to a T. It’s a shame most of the electorate can’t read.
Do not confuse their bigotry for illiteracy.
They want to control and punish “the other”. They don’t care that Project 2025 wrote this out. They don’t care that it makes them racists or Nazis. They want to punish those different from them.
They want this.
He’s not … that literally incorrect.
The average American has the literacy ability of a 5th or 6th grader.
MAGAs are of course bigots as well, but the American electorate is also largely, functionally illiterate.
Well, let me give an example. When I’m driving, I sometimes turn on the radio and I find very often that what I’m listening to is a discussion of sports. These are telephone conversations. People call in and have long and intricate discussions, and it’s plain that quite a high degree of thought and analysis is going into that. People know a tremendous amount. They know all sorts of complicated details and enter into far-reaching discussion about whether the coach made the right decision yesterday and so on. These are ordinary people, not professionals, who are applying their intelligence and analytic skills in these areas and accumulating quite a lot of knowledge and, for all I know, understanding. On the other hand, when I hear people talk about, say, international affairs or domestic problems, it’s at a level of superficiality that’s beyond belief.
In part, this reaction may be due to my own areas of interest, but I think it’s quite accurate, basically. And I think that this concentration on such topics as sports makes a certain degree of sense. The way the system is set up, there is virtually nothing people can do anyway, without a degree of organization that’s far beyond anything that exists now, to influence the real world. They might as well live in a fantasy world, and that’s in fact what they do. I’m sure they are using their common sense and intellectual skills, but in an area which has no meaning and probably thrives because it has no meaning, as a displacement from the serious problems which one cannot influence and affect because the power happens to lie elsewhere. source
So how long before something like a no confidence action or something can be taken to stop this? He’s speedrunning turning the US into a madhouse and I know the VP would be next in line but… Something? Anything more legitimate than just fighting fire with fire by various groups being uncooperative?
The US doesn’t have a mechanism for a no confidence vote, the only thing we have is impeachment, and that won’t happen while the Republicans own the House and Senate.
You need a 218 vote majority to impeach in the House, Republicans hold a 220 vote majority there.
Then you need a 67 vote majority in the Senate to convict and remove him, Republicans hold 53/100 seats there.
I’m more and more convinced by the day that this isn’t going to end without at least some level of political violence
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody’s runnin’, but half of them ain’t lookin’
It’s goin’ on in the kitchen, but I don’t know what’s cookin’
