What's also crazy is that there are people lining up saying "Surely that won't also happen to me."

His fallout with RFK JR and Musk is gonna be epic.
I still haven't decided if making Leon and Vivek Co leads of DOGE is a dig at Leon or Vivek. I'm sure Leon thinks he's the "real" lead.

It's crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either "I want that" or "That's fine, I don't care".
They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.
It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.
It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.
Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.
Yeah, oblivious sums it up. Despite all the stuff that’s happened, and all the information and video evidence that’s readily available to anybody who cares enough to look at it, their team is their team. If you fancy yourself a smart responsible Christian, especially a white one, your ignorant ass is just a Republican.
The amount of people who are horrified now that they've had tariffs explained to them is.. depressingly high.
They didn't wanna look up what a tarrif was before voting for Mr. Tariffs?

A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can't be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I'm the crazy one spreading the lies. It's a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we're about to get.
Sorry no. If they voted for trump they’re not good people. They’re either assholes or too stupid to be making decisions for the country.
Anyone who votes for mass deportation is not a good person. Anyone who votes to take away health care from a huge chunk of the population is also not a good person.

Remember when he said he knew the best people before he chose his cabinet for his first term?
I love that his biggest criticism of Biden was that he doesn't fire anyone. Firing someone means you failed to pick the right candidate. Biden didn't fire anyone because he made good choices. Trump always has to fire people because he has no judgement of character. He just goes with whoever compliments him in that moment.
as a non american in America I've come to find that's an American egregore: that firing people means you're a good leader.
Nope, you are confusing Dumps reality TV show with actual reality. I guess it does get a little confusing as his whole presidency seems to be a parody. People who voted for him truly are some of the stupidest human beings to ever exist.
I've heard it as a criticism of Peter Thiel and others, and, as a manager edging towards director, I get asked about it in interviews too
In real life firing means you made the wrong pick and is not looked upon as a good thing unless you are a sociopath. I suppose if you came into a company to clean house some would view it as correct but they are probably shareholders who have perverse incentives.
Long story short, Americans don't generally like bosses and don't approve of firings unless it is obvious the choice was correct, for instance firing someone who is toxic.
Having had to fire someone as a director myself I would think it strange to be brought up in an interview and probably a red flag.

.4. He didn't pay them.
Stephen fucking Miller is tapped to return. The administration is shaping up to be more detestable than I could imagine. I’m waiting to see where the bottom goes from Betsy DeVoes as secretary of edu
I’m thinking the shaman guy for secretary of education
I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t pick him
Bold of you to think there will be a DoE to need a secretary.

I was hoping the Never Trumpers, those scorned by Trump, and the Democrats could come together and say "We can't let Trump or anyone like him happen again."
But that would have made sense...

& there's a new group ready to replace the previous group
(as if none of that ever happened).
Life IS strange.
Guys not gonna lie I feel scared. I am not even American. I'm scared for all of you
I'm super scared for women
I don't feel an ounce of pleasure in saying: this administration will make things worse for the whole world.
In his defense, he probably has some members of his family returning to positions in the white house.
and he killed his first choice for DOJ head: Jeffrey Epstein.
What we need is Sacha Baron Cohen to somehow get Trump on camera, saying Epstein will be a nominee for something.
I get the first two. Who did he try to have killed?
Mike Pence
Hey, congratulations on forgetting him, anyway. Can’t wait for the day I do.
You know how there is that meme of "Epstein didn't kill himself?"
I'm 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.
And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.

No so much directly as encouraged his supporters to.
Rhymes with "bang my fence"

Imagine having 3 not lead to 1.
That's the crazy part? We are so far down the crazy rabitt hole this just seems like another diaper floating in the cess pool.
