The US is looking pretty fucked right now. RIP
Did it to ourselves
I did not. I did my damnedest in order to try and inform everybody who was around me. I try to help bring up all of the aspects and all of the problems. Our biggest failure is all those who didn't even vote. Not those who did but those who couldn't even be assed to get off of theirs and go out and fill out the form. But let me Tell you what this administration did Nazi coming.... My unadulterated ass now being even more bold and happy just telling them to fuck off. Might as well start feeding them the same bullshit they've been doing to us for the last eight years. I am now refusing to do absolutely anything involved with anything that they want done I am going to drag my dick on everything and anything I might construe as being helpful to their cause. I'm going to bitch and moan as loudly as possible . I'm going to be the most cantankerous pain in the ass that anybody has ever come across.
That orange fuck can get stuffed should have stayed in oompa loompa land maybe And I'm just saying maybe lighten up on the amount of tanning cream that he's using or at least tell his apprentices they need to slow up cuz we all know Mr tiny hands is incapable of squeezing the fucking bottle himself. Don't want to accidentally use too much energy might be construed as exercise and that might actually physically kill him God damn medical oddity. How can somebody eat that poorly and do literally nothing and still be walking around.
The biggest failure was the Democrats who nominated Biden in 2020. That primary was the last offramp that could have avoided a fascist takeover, either in 2024 or 2028, with Trump or a Trump clone.
The return of Trump might just have bought us another shot in 2028, but it's not looking like the Democrats have learned much. Trump has a lot of similarities to Hoover and, as bad a President as he was, he was great for Democrats and progressivism. If the Democrats can get their heads out of their asses, the Trump Presidency might open a path to save the country - assuming we survive it.
The fact that the Justice Department gave him enough time to tour around the country whining and crying, spreading his stolen election lies before they charged him is what won Trump the election. It's almost like they were in on it.
Edit: Clarity.
Yes we did.. as was said a long time ago, the only thing that can destroy America is America
At least all that stuff about a weaponized DOJ is over right?
The only thing worse than Russia is a wannabe Russia that had a feasible choice.
Can we find a way to rehire these people in some kind of public legal defense force to fight back against the administration? I would love that. Keep doing the same work just outside of the DOJ.
Oh yea, they did such a great job last time.
They'll probably wait until two weeks after his arteries give out from all the McDonalds to file charges next time. Remember that it's about generating headlines for brownie points, not about actually following through with things.
I think this is an understatement.
By the way, Trump looks like Yeltsin. He was incompetent, abused alcohol and danced, while the oligarchs plundered the country behind his back, and here the story is similar. And Putin did not create anything new, he simply became Yeltsin's predecessor.
These grunts had no power.
Fired on what grounds? Can a suit, perhaps many, be filed for wrongful termination?
In almost everywhere in the US, you can fire anyone, at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as it's not because of membership in a protected class (age, sex, gender, national origin, etc.). (Or, obviously, if there's union or other rules around it.)
Government jobs are like the one place where that isn't true.
Not anymore :(
Yeah... :-(
It's gonna be a long four years.
There is a process for suing the federal government for wrongful termination, but idk how it would work when you're dealing with the actual Justice Department
The Justice Department can be sued. You don't need them on your side in order to file a lawsuit. How far the Supreme Court will go to rubber stamp it is an open question. And by the time it gets resolved one way or another it'll be way past the firing.
Ordinarily you'd need ground for dismissal, yes. But one of the first things Trump did was follow the plan for Project 2025 which included, amongst other things, reclassifying a fuck ton of government jobs as political jobs, enabling Trump to hire and fire people for political reasons.
This is just the start. He's going to purge every competent person who believes in the national mythology / shows an ounce of backbone and replace them with incompetent yes men. These people tend to be very intelligent, resourceful, and well-connected. I don't think this will be the last we see of them. Something tells me that giving a whole lot of people who plotted the overthrows of multiple foreign governments lots of time off together maybe isn't his most brilliant idea yet.
Straight from the Project 2025 manual. It's crazy that I tried to get people to read it before the election and I got called a conspiracy theorist, but here he is actually executing the plan and these same people just deny it's happening. I can't help but think they prefer to be ignorant.
Remember when they admonished Biden's administration for not firing anyone after the Afghanistan evacuation? Yeah that's all Republicans want, to fire people. Well actually they might go after these guys.
Fuck Trump
While Americans will be fight each other, fascist countries Russia and China will continue their goal: annexation of territories.
