Not directly related to Trumf, but definitely part of the overall pattern:

Cruz Control

I'm not even sure I understand this drive to remove all Federal money from science research. While I'm sure Trump has zero idea of the value that Government investment over the back half of the 20th century had in making America a technology leader, surely guys like Musk and Cruz know it?

Honestly, the whole drive to get Greenland and Canada is to gain access to minerals to bring our chip manufacturing back (because we ceded those areas of Africa to China as the main trading partner) - and those are needed to presumably allow us to be the leader in AI.

...though I did also hear a pretty convincing argument that the push to get those materials is to create crypto mining farms, which... 

...God, I don't want to believe this is where we're going, but money is the only thing Trump cares about (and the power to tell everyone else what to do). So maybe it is the latter.

So....

How long before he outright repeals the Civil Rights Act, reimplements Jim Crow Laws, and decides that women shouldn't be allowed to vote?

**

Trump cares/cared about three things with this presidency.
Ego, staying out of jail, and $$$$. I'm not entirely sure
what order you'd put them in, but that's about it.

Trump is really no longer the level boss. He's put his forever cabinet into place and dismantled and/or taken over all the stuff the far right hates. So even though the fight could have be won against him four months ago, the fight going forward is no longer about him but the new Heritage government.  

Trump may or may not make it to the end of his term, and he may or may not go for a third. The real fight is over the next two years to preserve the vote, which is the last tool we have to maybe unmake some of this. Make no mistake, the 2026 midterms are going to be the most contested and corrupt in the history of our country - and bear in mind that history contains the Reconstruction-era South.

 I don't know CNN, you tell us.........🙄🤦🏾‍♂️

Seriously,  what is there to say about people that consistently vote against their own interests?

You get what you get. I do not and will not have any sympathy for those that voted for 47 and those that kept their asses home.

Whenever you feel that Trump’s inane actions and words are getting to be too much for you to handle, (re)play this video as often as required:

Mildly amusing in an also-horrifying way, there is this story about the government attempting to re-hire National Nuclear Security Administration officials that they tinned the day before, but don't know how to get hold of them after deleting their government email accounts:

Is what you get when you allow people to steam into a situation with no
understanding & make whole scale cuts.
No way have they been able to get what these tens of thousands of
employees actually do, nor what gets broken if they don’t do what they do.

Twatter wobbled badly when he sacked loads of people.
Wobble a government & & the consequences are much worse that people
not being able to post a meme.
Much, much worse.

That’s from before Trumf’s first term. Had no effect then, no effect now.

If JESUS HIMSELF spoke out against Trumf, the MAGAminds would dismiss him as a foreign troublemaker, not to be listened to.
