Cuba redesignated as State Sponsor of Terrorism.
i hate this dude. i joke a lot about how liberals talk about trump but for real fuck trump. he's such a piece of shit and a worthless waste of life.
Called that shit!
Aw but last year the state department said that process takes 6 months... Ah well, nevertheless...
return to in person work just seems petty
He's a commercial real estate guy. Now all of his real estate friends can turn the screws on WFH across the board.
FLYING THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES AT FULL-STAFF ON INAUGURATION DAY
the fuck Jimmy Carter executive order lol
Cartels designated as terrorist organizations. Someone just asked if he might send special forces to Mexico, he said "stranger things have happened".
Declaration of national emergency on the southern boarder.
Bold strategy entering into a hot conflict with basically the only manufacturing economy in the world not explicitly trying to join BRICS.
"RESTORING THE DEATH PENALTY AND PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY"
This includes pursuing death penalties for anyone who kills a cop "regardless of other factors" and for any "illegal aliens" who commit a capital offense.
It also includes this terrible bit: "The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose."
Where they will punish people who were commuted by Biden by ensuring that if they can't give them the death penalty they can give them a life of torture.
He just said of Gaza "It's gotta be rebuilt... in a different way" "There's some fantastic things that can be done with Gaza"....
"most of them are dead"
He was talking about the leadership in Gaza. I thought that too, but double checked. Still fucked.
lmao trump admitting that china harvesting user data from tiktok zoomers isn't a real national security issue
RESTORING NAMES THAT HONOR AMERICAN GREATNESS(3)(a)
Denali to be renamed to McKinley
Sec. 4. (a) Gulf of America.
He did it, folks
This stupid fucking country is about to get so much stupider
stupidest day every subsequent day etc

agency-imposed requirements on federally funded entities, including contractors, to achieve the policy of this order.
I hope all the right wing shitheads feel good about this when they're dying because they can't afford healthcare or rent
Withdrawing The United States From The World Health Organization - The White House
That action will make a bird flu pandemic that much worse.
This makes no sense because Trump himself was a vaxxer and big believer in covid. He's doing this for the base and not because he believes it's a good thing.
It's like the predictable outcome from Obama. It doesn't even feel real. I think I'm actually derealizing right now. This shit is going to make shit so awful.
Birthright citizenship ended.
Is that even possible, or are they just going to go back to deporting legal citizens? The Constitution has a 14th Amendment
My guess is they're going to try to deport legal citizens.
Shithole country
withdrawing from WHO again
"ENDING THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT"
This one is where every federal department gets audited for any actions they may have taken against Republicans or their friends over the past four years. This one is written so non-threateningly, but is open-ended enough to be used as a purge of pretty much every department of the fed, with threats of non-compliance to " be referred to the Attorney General."
Lmao DODGE is just renaming the IT department
The United States Digital Service is hereby publicly renamed as the United States DOGE Service (USDS) and shall be established in the Executive Office of the President.
I think it's more of trying hijack an existing agency since a new one would require congressional approval.
"Merit" will be the guiding principle of government hiring...
DOGE is officially going to become a department...?
These are so stupid.
Promoting Beautiful Federal Civic Architecture
incredible rome statue guys got their wish
Immigration blocked
Section 1. Suspension of Entry. I hereby proclaim, pursuant to sections 212(f) and 215(a) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) and 1185(a), that the entry into the United States on or after the date of this order of aliens engaged in the invasion across the southern border is detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore direct that entry into the United States of such aliens be suspended until I issue a finding that the invasion at the southern border has ceased.
"RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"
This is largely the no-more moderating hate speech order, but this bit is pretty sweeping: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report."
The Attorney General's office is going to be busy as hell keeping up with all these wide-scale audits of Biden's regime that pretty much every order calls for. Altogether, these orders point to sweeping retaliation within the fed for the past four years, and an explicit threat to get in line for the next four. Not unexpected, of course.
He's saying Feb 1 is when he'll enact 25% tariffs. But talking about how him and Xi are chatting and getting along.
DEFENDING WOMEN FROM GENDER IDEOLOGY EXTREMISM AND RESTORING BIOLOGICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT(4)(f) is going to be interesting. Even right wing courts don't like their toes being stepped on.
Reporter reminded him to check the desk drawer for Brandon's love letter, they're so quirky and cute...
Nothing like the idiot hivemind getting everything they want as usual.

To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
