I hope whoever holds the nuclear briefcase goes to grounds in California or the EU.

Before you go, mix a laxative into the sugar for the coffee.
-
I mean, would he even notice? I'm not so sure that he has reliable bowel control on a good day...
-
-
At this point I'm surprised someone hasn't made a website with a checklist comparing his actions to a different dicators throughout history and how many have done the same things.
-
Just go to the project 2025 progress website. All of this was preplanned.
-
That's a pretty nice website. Although I was more thinking of a very simple one that is literally just a table. With his actions in the first column, and a second column listing which dictators have done a very similar thing and when.
Having it directly show which dictators have done the same things and how many of his statements and orders match their rise to power, is a simple graphic to let people relate to the dangers directly from what they know.

Why, it's a 1 for 1.

kakistocracy
Noun
kakistocracy (plural kakistocracies)
- (political science) Government under the control of a nation's worst or least-qualified citizens. from 1829.]
-
Great word. FWIW “kakken” is a Dutch word for defecating. It’s not as crude as “schijten”, maybe more like “to (take a) crap”.
-
In German it's "Kacken"....

A year ahead of schedule 😮💨

This sounds like a positive development, the incompetence will slow him down. The fuckwits will be stumbling over one another. Short of mass suicide, I’m not sure what better a result we could hope for.
-
It will also remove any worries about accidentally harming innocents when a mob storms the white house and rips them all apart
-
I wonder if anyone has ever realistically gamed out how just how big a mob it would take to get into someplace that well protected.
Not like when the 3 y/o ran through the fence or anything, like to brute force inside the actual important side of the Whitehouse.
It’s nothing like the Capital building, that’s for sure.

-
It is not a positive development. Thoughts & prayers aren’t going to save a thing.

Four Seasons Total Landscaping.

Lol what an awkward cringey evil person.

"Shock and horror" is more like it. I'm assuming he will replace people that don't fall in line with more white supremacy, boot licking, pig fuckers.
-
shock and awful
-
-
The only ones left will be Russian and Chinese moles.
-
can he purge himself?
-
I think he does a few times a day in his diaper.
-
That would be in line with both the headline and his role model from the 1940s with the moustache.
-
This would actually be the best way for the MAGA movement to end I think, but I doubt they’d believe he really killed himself.
(Also Trump thinks he’s a fucking god-perfect human, and he’s a pussy. There’s no way he’d off himself.)
-
-
He does that regularly, just too bad he doesn’t change his diaper just as often.
-
-
The article leads with that headline, but quickly piviots to talking about Mike Waltz being tossed in a place Trump doesn't care about.
That said, if it happens, I'll laugh my ass off as they fire everyone who knows how to do the real work.
-
Didn't this happen yesterday?
-
-
Get rid of people who actually know how to do things and replace them with his own tools.
-
To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that's the case he's looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.
-
The article says “starting with mid-level staff” and they clearly don’t know how to do things. If they mean White House literally, low-level staff are probably the only people who do know how to do things right now. I doubt the kitchen workers, cleaning staff, tour guides, etc. are even people to Trump. Even the chef/kitchen staff just probably has to handle state dinners and other events but most days, just make a McDonald’s run or burn a steak.

God, what the fuck else is new? That has been every day since January, man.
-
Which January? I remember he tried to get someone murdered on a January 6th not too many years ago
-
-
What's funny is everyone in b that phone also has the same apps. Including the vice fucking president.
-
Rinse and repeat every 100 days.

Or approximately 10 scarramuchis

How many times does this guy have to fill a swamp before his followers realizing there wasn't anything to drain until he showed up?
-
I mean… there was and is plenty of swamp to drain, it’s just that Trump was never actually gonna do it. Legalized corruption is part of why we’re in this mess.
-
-
Just remember, it's not for Project 2025, whatever that is, even though the authors are great buddies of his. /s
-
The plan reportedly involves firing staff in a massive wave rather than doing it piecemeal, starting with mid-level White House staffers.
Pfft...
Sounds like just purging "staff" same as getting rid of "staff" across government entities like they've been doing.
Just getting more "roadblocks" out of their way.
No reference to cabinet personnel... (other that the mention of Walz' "re-assignment".) 🤷♂️ 🤡

Purges! The cornestone of every ludicrous dictator! (A nod here to the classic Pulp Fiction line)
