So, in other words, Trump is going to do exactly what he told us he would do.
While being able to say that a majority of voters wanted it this way because they voted for him.
Trump didn’t lie. This was all out there for everyone to see.
Anything else is just denying the reality that a majority of Americans are sheep and don’t know what is good for them.
I don’t like that reality either, but here we are. It’s time for these people to lie in the bed of their own making.
Hold Trump voters and non voters accountable for the consequences of their actions and inaction. It’s the only way forward.
Same justification he will use for a nationwide abortion ban and locking up his political opponents.
Technically, he said he has no knowledge of Project 2025. Fortunately for Republicans, Trump’s team is all over it.
He said Project 2025 was great back in 2022 before the backlash, it isn’t like he is consistent.

I missed that. Thanks for the source!
Oh for sure - and the nutters will be saying it’s ‘divine mandate’ since he survived those assassination attempts. We ain’t seen shit yet.
I saw that very claim elsewhere today. Something something “god didn’t make him turn his head at just the right moment for him to lose the election.”
That sneaky bastard!
Make no mistake, if Trump wants it, his supporters want it. I work with a bunch of morons. The country is in the hands of a cult.
My coworkers support political assassination, concentration camps for LGBT, forced Christianity. If Trump said it, they want it.
I am fully radicalized. Fuck this country.
IRS employees better start job hunting.
A lot of people are going to die because of this conspiracy theorist.
I think of someone very close to me who takes mediation for depression, medication that RFK thinks is bullshit, and medication that is regulated by the FDA.
She got a bad batch of something from a generic supplier and became dangerously suicidal. We were able to report this to the FDA and send them the medication so people wouldn’t die.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better. We need more people on the ground so inspections are more regular and so deadly manufacturing problems are caught early.
You just need to reference their last playbook: less data means it’s not happening, like covid.
I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better.
Oh it makes things better alright. Better for the drug companies who now don’t have to deal with pesky things like “safety” and “consequences for killing people”.
Or “overhead”, to use a technical term.
Not only are a lot of people going to die, the EU is going to be on some “bad” list very soon, because free travel and any kind of “free” shipping won’t be possible anymore - and I’d say even some Asian, African and maybe even Australia are going to follow that, heck, maybe even Canada. Although I’m not sure if Canada is able to actually do that…
Saying you are going to gut the CDC after a pandemic is peak shooting yourself in the face to spite the neighbors.
He gutted the Federal Pandemic Response Team in 2018.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-fire-pandemic-team/
He then took deliberate steps to inhibit pandemic response in 2020.
Dismantling the CDC and HHS is absolutely to be expected.
I would have figured losing 1-2 million Republicans would have helped in voting, but my Mexican neighbors decided they like Trump. Guess I’ll report them to ICE. The leopards must feed.
It’s handy when the trash takes itself out, isn’t it.
It would’ve been, but I don’t know why you’re saying that now because it clearly didn’t. We decided to fucking wallow in it instead.
It doesn’t work like that.
If they voted, then they’re citizens. Reporting citizens to ICE won’t do anything.
On top of them just sounding like a total psycho. It’s interesting watching liberals become what they hate so quickly lol
Guess I’ll report them to ICE.
How is that going to help anything? That just makes you an asshole.
Just giving them what they wanted.
They literally asked for it though?
Don’t start none won’t be none
And do you think there will be a single Republican willing to do anything about it?
Mark my words, they will vote 100% in lockstep every single time. And if what Trump is doing is illegal (like that matters anyway), they’ll just write legislation to make it legal. Not a single one of them is going to even think about criticizing him, out of fear of either violence, political suicide, or both.
The government will be crammed with unqualified hacks from top to bottom. The corruption will be open and blatant.
And every single Republican senator will vote to confirm. Every single time.
RFK in charge of healthcare. Musk in charge of spending. Aileen cannon is either getting the AG job or a Supreme Court seat. Whichever one she doesn’t get, Alina Hobba gets. Steve Bannon gets pardoned and gets communications director. Alex Jones is probably going to crawl out from whatever rock he crawled under too.
They’ll all get jobs. The Senate will confirm them all. And far-right conspiracy theories will become official US policy.
Jones hasn’t crawled under any rocks, he’s been going strong even with a billion dollar judgement against him and filing for bankruptcy. Infowars is being auctioned off in a week so it might be bought by someone who will just keep him exactly where he is, but he’s been openly setting up a backup business and directing people to it, which he’s said ON AIR he’ll just fold into the existing business if all goes well. His dad has a completely independent supplement company and he’s got completely unaffiliated mates selling his merch.
The only reason he’s less prominent now is because the politicians and the mainstream media in the US are so fucking unhinged that he’s struggling to stay relevant in his niche.
Alex Jones is probably going to crawl out from whatever rock he crawled under too.
White House Press Secretary Alex Jones is an Onion article that writes itself, 3 times a week
I hate how you right you are.
Remember to thank all the dipshits that supported diaper donnie and his insanity. Remind them that: “YOU did this.”
They won’t hear about the bad things, or they’ll be told it was the Democrats that did it, and they’ll be believe it. Convincing MAGA of reality is pointless while they’re still feeding from the trough of conservative shit. We’re better off protesting and being disruptive in combination with getting our shit together for next round, where hopefully we’ll have real primaries and get our first competent general election candidate since Obama.
And the ones who didn’t vote.
Snake oil is back on the menu, boys.
I wonder if they will fudge some studies and numbers so that it will be evidence based snake oil?
Medicinal mercury is back baby! Just as long as there’s no vaccines!
The whole presidency is alarming… Please find a bit that it is not?
Nah, let’s all take a good honest look at what’s happening and start preparing for it.
In not alarming news…Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged
Assuming Trump is the turkey in this instance.
The Supreme Court will surely block….ummm
Headline from the future:
“Displacing heart disease, the primary cause of death in the USA is now ‘easily preventable disease’”
Polio on the rise outside the Bible Belt.
State agencies will still be in place, will they not? I wouldn’t eat the food or drink the water were I in a red state…
Most, if not all in some cases, funding for state-level regulatory agencies comes directly from their federal counterparts. This will essentially kill state agencies as well.
Or at the very least, they will be severely reduced in terms of staff and purview.
And that’s just the states that don’t decide to follow the administration’s lead and do the same thing to their state level agencies.
Aww come on, maybe your kid will have super powers then, like an extra arm or glowing in the dark. Where’s your sense of adventure?
I hate his voice and I’m sick of him already.
Nothing against people with his condition but if you’re gonna sound like you’re talking underwater make it worth my fucking time.
The Crypt Keeper’s voice would be more pleasant.
I mean nothing new, Mr. Brainworm has been ranting about this for a while now and Trump has specified that gutting agencies was always his project 2025 plan so why would anyone be surprised here?
Good luck everyone and enjoy 2025!
It’s going to be morbidly hilarious watching the USA the next four years.
I mean laugh at your neighbors house on fire if you want but the embers are blowing everywhere.
Eh, as an Italian I had to endure years of bunga-bunga jokes and such… turns out Berlusconi was a class act compared to what you guys managed to elect.
Berlusconi let others do the job of governing…people that lined their pockets as well, but at least we’re somewhat decent at actual governing compared to what Trump’s second cabinet’s probably going to be.
Lol.
Four years? Try four decades. The ramifications of Trump’s first term is still being felt now.
The haters will downvote us for it but damn is it a good time to have a dark sense of humor. It’s out of our control but its still bad to see the humor in the absurdity I guess.
I’m still holding out for ‘President running the country from prison’ which would almost make it worth it.
This will be very interesting to watch. From outside USA ofc. Otherwise I would use a different word.
As a American, it’s morbidly interesting to me.
Oh no! Guess they weren’t kidding about project 2025.
Why is anyone surprised. They said what they were gonna do. They’re now making concrete plans to do the things they said they were gonna do.
I’m gonna fuckin leave.
