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.
The whole presidency is alarming... Please find a bit that it is not?
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
Nah, let's all take a good honest look at what's happening and start preparing for it.
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.
It's going to be morbidly hilarious watching the USA the next four years.
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.
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.
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?
