Trump threats and bullying lawfare.  Just ignore him and make the feds get a warrant if they want to do any searches.  They cannot commandeer local officials against their will as ICE agents.

Trump has one move...bully and threaten and rarely follows through.  Laugh in his face and say, "try it" just like Mexicos president did.

Justice Department says it will prosecute local officials over immigration enforcement

Exactly what all the MAGA sheriffs did with refusing to enforce federal orders.  Now the shoe is on the other foot lmfaooooo.

Irony at its finest.

What do you think is behind Trump's EO to end remote work?

 

To get people to quit.

So far Trump has signed executive orders and other declarations that...

  • Declared an emergency at the US/Mexico border
  • Suspended the Refugee Admission Program resettlements
  • Reinstated the remain in Mexico policy
  • Tries to redefine birthright citizenship
  • Declared a national emergency
  • Renamed the Gulf of Mexico and Mt. Denali
  • Exited the Paris Climate Agreement
  • Revoked electric car executive order setting a goal of 50% electric by 2030
  • Recognized only male and female as sexes
  • Eliminated DEI initiatives in the federal government
  • Required full-time RTO for federal employees
  • Placed a hiring freeze on everything not military, immigration, national security, or public safety
  • Reinstated Schedule F
  • Pardoned the January 6th rioters and insurrectionists, calling them "hostages"
  • Removed the US from the WHO
  • Paused the TikTok ban
  • Revoked security clearances of his political enemies
  • Established "DOGE"
  • Stated that federal buildings should "respect regional, traditional, and classical architectural heritage"
  • Supposedly prevented that the government can't "unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen" (which is the First Amendment anyway)
  • Revoked the EEO Executive Order that LBJ put into place in 1965
  • Rescinded a provision that allowed transgender people to serve in the military 

and a number of other things. What didn't he do? Anything that would...

  • End the war in Ukraine.
  • Lower grocery prices
  • Decrease car insurance rates
  • Decrease home ownership prices
  • End taxes on Social Security income
  • End taxes on tips
  • End taxes on overtime
  • Lower taxes for families making under $200k/yr

 

It's almost like he completely lied throughout his entire campaign. Imagine that.

It's going to gut US Cybersecurity. I know people and know people who know people who will be leaving as a direct result of this and Schedule F. 

One of the people I know who got screwed by this is a hardcore MAGA guy who moved away from the DC area where his job is because he was told he could WFH for his role and didn't need to be in the office. Now he's fucking panicking trying to figure out what to do. He's a few hours outside of DC right now.

To be fair, none of the 'didn't do' items were going to happen immediately.  Especially since most of them will require Congressional action.  The 'did do' list was the low hanging fruit.

He had no issues signing Executive Orders that violated the Constitution like the birthright citizenship one. He could have done the same with the "didn't do" list if they were actually priorities for him. He could have even signed "show" Executive Orders, but he couldn't be bothered. I'm talking about what his actual priorities are, and it's not the load of bullshit that the stupid MAGA fucks greedily lapped up last year.

Still waiting on my cheap eggs, lower gas prices, and affordable housing. How about a timeline for when to start expecting those things? Or is that still in the "concepts of a plan" stage?

You expected all that in 2 days? Call I dream of Jeannie.

All I ask is for a timeline of when to expect these things to happen. Its a reasonable expectation in literally any industry or business that if you make claims about what you're going to do that you provide a roadmap that lays down what steps are being taken to achieve said goals and when you can expect those goals to be achieved.

If this is the government the American people are getting then they at least deserve the bare minimum of transparency when it comes to major campaign promises. They had plans for other things that they rolled out immediately. None of them had anything to do with my grocery bills though which I was under the impression was the reason many people voted how they did.

I was wrong when I agreed with everyone saying President Musk. Reading a bunch of the EO's it's clearly President Miller.

I think Musk's 1st step out of Trump's inner circle came today.  The Trumpmeister isnt going to be too happy about Musk's comments on the OpenAI deal.

He'll soon learn all about Trump's lack of loyalty.

The career civil servants, the ones at the GS-14/15 level, that the right accuses of being the "deep state" aren't generally working from home anyway.
